Sterling Hats Panama Shape The Latest A DESPERATE DEED Attempted Murder and Suicide at Westport Last Night NO REASON ASSIGNED FOR. THE ACT E. Hogland Tried to Kill Two Friends and Then Shot Himself. They Had Just Conversed To gether on Best of Terms. TEMPORARY INSANITY I Hie Only Theory That llu Keen Suggested un the Cause, or the Terrible Tragedy. Kmnry Hogland, a section bona at Went port. J ndlre eaiit of Astoria, ftred three pistol shots hurt evening, and he now Met a corpse at the Oil on boarding houae at Wentport, and Urn Waud li at St. Mary'e hospital In this city. The shooting ts entirely unaccounted for. as Hoghind was sober and appar eniily In hts right mind, and the wan whom he shot was tita friend. It appear that TtoglaM) came tr As toria last Saturday and got drunk; that he returned to "Westport and con tinued drunk Sunday, but that Monday he sobered up and performed his work as usual on Ms section of the Astoria A Columbia Ittver Kail road up to last night. The only thing that has occur ml to Mul Hogland to do anything out of the ordinary was yesterday when It Is mated that the roadmaster of tlw railroad for whh-h he was working nmlflwl Hogland to appear in AwlorH today bpfore the proper o(B ohibi and give an explanation of his late spree. This occurred In the after noon yesterday, but when Holland' re turned from his work last eevnlng It did not appear to bother him. He told the persons who run the boarding house not to put up his dinner, as was the oustom, for today, but this 1s ex plained In the faet tfluit he Intended coming to Astoria, and he had also been In the habit of coming home for his dinner when he was working near Westport. i ' Several companions boarded with him at the tMlson house and on last evening they look supper together and HogTnnd appeared to, be as jovial aa usual. He has frequently kept to him self In his room, but has always been sociable and agreeable when approach ed by his friends. After supper last evening Ben Waud and O. W. Adams, who boarded at the same plaoe with Hogland, called at his room, wMdh Is In the second story of the boarding house and next to their room, and had a pleasant conversation with him. Then they went down stairs and left him in the room. Another friend by. the name of MUls called on Hogland and was with him until Just before the shooting occurred. When he left the room about 7 oclock Hogland was ap parently arranging his accounts and was Jovial. About 7: SO p. m. Waud and Adams started up stairs to their room. The stairway and hall was dark and they Were groping their way along but talking and laughing good naturedly until they were almost opposite Hog land's room. At this stage Hogland appeared in We door and aald some thing and immediately fired. The baU. from h1a revolver, a S8-callbre weapon, struck Ben iWaud Just below the nose and after passing through the upper Hp turned downward.. Waud dodged to the floor and crawled Into a room on the opposite side of the hall. In the meantime Hogland fired again, this lime firing at Adams, placing the re volver so close to -bhi face that the powder burmd him. Adams then mde a rush down stairs, as he states it, falling part of the way down. Anoth er shot was flreU and all was silent. A lamp was obtained and Adams, in company with other Inmates of the place, went up stairs. Th-y mot young Waud coming down, bleeding. He aid he was shot Upon going to tbe room they found Hogland lying rn the threshold of his door with his revol ver In his hand and the blood flowing from his temple. He gasped a few times and died There were marks of three pistol shots n the wall. It Is tbauicht that he must have flred more than the three shots as there is still one bullet in Waud' body and one In Iloglaud's head. I Hogland was left where he lay and young Waud was brought to Asoria on the night train by his father and Adams, the young man who was with him when he was shot. Dr. Fulton was called and attempted to extract the bullet from young Waud's throat but at last accounts he bad not suc ceeded in locating It The young nan refused to be put Under chloroform and bore the knife of the surgeon without flinching.'' -. ., . -. Coroner Pohl will go to Westport on the early morning train and hold an Inquest over the body of Hogland and will probably bring the remains to As. toria. Adams will accompany him as a witness In the case, while Mr. Waud the father of the wounded boy wfll remain In Astoria. Hogland Is said to have been about 4S years old and unmarried. He has resided at Westport for sometime, and Is reported to have come from Eastern Oregon. The Wauils have resided In Westport since last October, having come to that place from Vlento, Ore. gon. Ben Waud is 22 years old and Adams about 55. They were working In the sawmill at Westport. The only thing recently stated by Hogland which is not clearly under stood was his statement to the r.oad master when he notified him to appear at Astoria today. He Is reported to have said: "All right. The grass is growing green, and I'll be there." What he meant by this ts not known but some of the people of Westport think the statement possibly referred to the Intention of the suicide at the time. The doctors state that young Waud will recover. HARD ,ON STOCKMEN. FOHT WORTH, Tex.. March 2?. The order issued by United States Revenue Inspector Cobb at Vlntta, I.

TO DEAL WITH E2 FREE CUBA Congress to Authorize Appoint merit! of United States Minister. OFFICE SEEKERS ABUNDANT Naval Station to be Located iit (.uantaiiamo. Only, a, Coaling Station at Havana. WASHINGTON. March 27.-U 1 the present understanding that Gonxalea de Quesada, formerly Cuban comrals sroner, will be the first minister from Cuba to tbe United States. The United States diplomatic ; repre sentative to Cuba wUJ he a full fledg ed minister and not a commuwtoner. President Roosevelt is about to "send a message to congress to secure legis lative authority for the appointment of such a minister as well aa for the halt dozen United States consuls who must be appointed. There are no less than 100 applications on file for these con sulates already, and the sending of the presidents message on the subject Is expected to vastly Increase this num ber. The president baa not yet indi cated the person he will name as Unit ed States minister to Cuba, but in dew of the fact that this official must negotiate the treaties with the new republic, it is expected that the choice will fall upon some one not altogether lacking In diplomatic experience. The choice- wilt eet lahoy wot" faH-pn-"an army or naval officer in the present state of mind of the executive. The salary attached to the office win. ft is thqught. be in the neighborhood of J7500 per annum. J Preliminary steps have already been taken by the United States govern ment to locate the naval and coaling stallions which, by the terms of the Piatt amendment, are to be ceded by treaty to the United States. Rear Admiral Brandford. chief of the equip ment bureau of the navy department, has given special attention to this subject and for the last two weeks has been cruising in West Indian waters. particularly directing his attention to Cuba porta. He has arrived at Gua- tanamo, and it is believed that here will be located the principal, If not the only United States naval station In Cuba The harbor is capable of easy defense against an enemy and the health conditions are better than in Santiago. There Is also more anchor age room. , The Cubans do not want a naval sta tion at Havana proper, and the Unit ed States government i willing to de fer to the Cuban national pride In this matter. But one of the coaling sta tions without defenses and so entire ly different from a naval station will be located at Havana Harbor,, probab ly just across the bay from Havana SOMETHING NEW!
