KILLED WITH AXE
Unknown Man Butchered in Cab'
In Near Forest Grove
MURDERER LEFT NO CLUE
Identity of the Dead Man is Not
Known and it is Probable That no
Trace of the Slayer Will Ever be
Ascertained.
FOREST GROVE, Or., July 18.--His
head pounded out of human

ried 90 feet to the root of a tree,
which had so grown as to leave a
natural hole, and there deposited.
Then the murderer covered his work
by clapboards and fled. I '
The butchery was perpetrated in a
cabin near the ranch of Fred Berger
holzer, not far from Brfce Wilson's
place, 2J miles from Timber, The
motive is not known; probably never
will be. A jury of Northern Wash
ington county farmers brought in a
verdict of willful murder at the hands
of person or persons unknown about
noon today, and this formal rendition
will perhaps end official action in
connection with nnotHer puzzling Ore
gon homicide. .
The cabin is in' senne of the deepest
timber of the state, with little settle
ment in the district. The murderer
was able to work leisurely and to re
move with care anything that might
constitute a clew. He. burned the
shoes,-hat and much of the clothing
of his victim. He left on his under
wear, and, in this carried him to his
rough resting place.
A woman named Mrs, Neighbor dis
overed the body, attracted by the
odor, The head was so badly beaten
it was difficult to form any idea as
to age, . ' -, .. ' - . ;
