And so , . the innocent partner in his flight must, if Indeed she be still alive, fee suffering from hunger, from the exposure to the elements, a well aa from terror at her strange plight. This latter fact is at once a cause of hope and of fear to the offleers.

QUICK DISPATCH OF " POLICE. AND SHERIFF When a telephone mesKage from Peninaular station told Chief of Police Hunt that a murder had been com mitted, Detective Day was Immediately sent to the scene. His haaty first re port caUHed the quick dispatch of sev eral police parties In the hops of appre hending the murderer before he could aet far Into the woods. Officers Bailey and Gibson went In one direction with a team and buggy; Vmghan and Gabriel, mounted on horse back, took another road. Chief Hunt Hiui Captain of Detectives Simmons took personal charge of the case and di rected the movements of the men in the field. Most of the" staff worked all night. Chief Hunt held vigil in bin office until late this afternoon. Bailey and Qlbson returned to town at I o'clock this morning, having dis covered nothing definite that could be used In tracing the fugitive murderer. At the same hour Omcers Burk and Austin started out and Detectives Snow and Kerrlirsn followed at 7 o'clock. Po liceman Crawford, mounted, was sent to the scene a little later. In addition to these members of the police department a possa of citizens which was organized quickly after the discovery of the crime, hunted througb the roads and brush Until late last night The only clue, and this meagre enouah. was found about a quarter of mile from -.ua-aceiie of JLJia homicide, Jo the dense woods the searchers came upon evidence that two persons had rested there for a time. The brush was trampled and the ferns were pressed down. Xaay Humors Afloat. Manv rumors floated into police head quarters during the night and this morning. One was to the effect that the fugitive and his wife had been seen by a milkman ..on what Is known as the Slough road, eight or nine miles from Peninsular, on the Columbia Kiver. mis country is thickly wooded and it would be easy for Leasla. If he tnougnt ne had been seen, to lose aimself in the forest Appearance of the Marderer. Chief Hunt last night had circulars prepared and sent out in all directions, describing the appearance or tne mur derer and bis Wife and calling for their arrest Bundles of this circular were given to conductors of all trains leaving this city with the request that they be distributed from the various stations The chief believes that Leasla cannot remain long In hiding; that hunger will drive him from his place of concealment within a short time, whether or not he has murdered his wife. As to the last horrible contingency. Chief Hunt thinks it quite proDable from the history of the case thus far, that Leasla has taken hia wife's life. Nevertheless the officers are working Tiard in the hope of reseu ing the unhappy woman before she per lshes of hardship or is done away with by the man who promised to love and protect her. . "L i "I am lncllhedto beHpve," said ihe Chief this morning, that they went into some vacant house or cabin not very far awav from the scene of the crime, Of course there JT'nothing to substan tiate this, but that would seem to bo the fugitive's most probable course if he did not intend to kill bis wife at once, for she certainly could not remain1 out all night without food without danger of dying." ' There were two revolvers in tne House where the murder waa done. One of these is missing and from this it Is de duced that Leasla is armed with a brace of pistols. He evidently has ammuni tion, for. after shooting Mr. Drews the murderer threw the two empty shells on the ground and re-loaded his weapon. Hade T request Threats. From the fact that Leaala made fre quent threats to do murder and to emulate Tracy, it is deemed probable that he carefully planned his deed, of death. The shooting ' was - done with a re- volver of 88 calibre. The first bullet entered the back of the head and lodged In the brain. The second ball entered the back near the right shoulder and ranged downward, turning at an aoute angle and making its exit under tne heart - - - Martin V. Leasla, the murderer, is be tween 28 and 30 years old. He la de scribed as Ave feet, six inches in height. weighing sbout 140 pounds. He has a dark complexion and black' eyes. At the time of the murder he was dressed in a dark sack suit of clothes, and wore a soft brown hat. Leasla is known, as a desperate man A few months ago he enticed his wife to a scow on the water front and fired two shots at her through a window, For this crime he was sent to prison for a short time. . From what Is known of the man s character, It is believed that he Intends to make a desperate resistance before yielding to - his pursuers, should they come upon him. He Is Bald to be a good shot with both rifle and pUtol. DEPUTY SHERIFFS' OUT AFTER THE MURDERER Deputy Sheriffs Daniels and Johnson left the courthouse this morning for St. Johns to Join in the search for Lea- la. Other members of the Sheriff's staff will go out on the hunt this after noon, i . .

Leasla declared that he married the wo man out of pity. The man who is now a murderer made a base insinuation against his wife. DID MURDERER TAKE HIS BROTHER'S CASH The money with which M. V. Leasla purchased the revolver that killed F. H. Drews Is supposed to have been stolen If rom the horn -of th murderer's father at 609 Overton street. Last Wednesday morning, some time between 7 and o'clock, an Unknown party entered J. B. Leasla's house and broke open H small trunk belonging to F. W. Leasla, tak ing $20 from the tray. The money con- is ted of one 110 gold piece and two $5 gold pieces; they had been placed in a small Jelly glass and put In the tray until the owner had time to depoalt it In the bank. There was also about 12 in silver in tho trunk at the time, but this was not disturbed. The brother, who yesterday became a murderer, had a key to the front room of his father's house. Here he spent a great deal of his time until about a week ago. It ia supposed that he knew that his brother was in the habit of keeping some money In. the trunks The lock of this trunk had been pried off by one who seemed to have been in no great hurry, as it was. not much damaged. The house was entered through a door and by some one who had a key; the' windows were locked from the Inside, and none of the various door locks were sprung. LEASIA AND FORMER WIFE PERHAPS DEAD Lying cold In death, with the mur dered body of his former wife near his side, is supposed by many to be the fate of M. V. Leasla. "He did not go far away." said F. W. Leasla. brother of the murderer to The Journal reporter this morning. "At least continued the brother, '1 do not believe he ran away many miles before turning and killing Pauline and then blowing out his -own brains. - Time and again he has stated before us here at home that he was going to wipe out the whole family that had caused. hlra so much trouble, He then would say- that when he sent them off he would follow- by the same route. , "pf course, ; wo didn't know what he was going to do.' l, hare not seen Mar tin since the first of last week, but can't help believing that it was he who stole the money from my trunk. The boy had a hard time of it with that Drews fate lly right along. He moved down here from Colfax to get rid of them, but the old man kept following him up and continued hia trouble making. "My brother and his family moved down herefrom Colfax a year ago this month. He had been employed there by a large local hotel as provision buyer. Everything seemed to be going along smoothly enough until one day last fall his mother-in-law came here and began abusing him in a very insulting manner. The Drews family kept this up until Pauline got a divorce. What has been the outcome of this you all know. J. Bi Leasla, father of the wretch, is carpenter. He resides at 609 Over ton street "batching" with two of bis sons, one of whom, F. W., is yard foreman for., the Hand Manufacturing Company.

(Continued from Pae One.) uable of tho timber lands are situated and where he' la now running for Con grass. The best opportunity for collusion snd fraud in the matter of timber land en tries is in the production of the final proof before tho United States Commis sioner, which official really repreaents the Federal Courts and Department of Justice. About 18 months ago, before Commissioner Hermann resigned, a sud den boom manifested itself in entries of timber lands. These entries pertained to the very ehoicest tracts of timber land and practically all In the State of Oregon, . . The land office does not survey timber land, as such lands are never opened for homesteaders. Therefore no record of these timber lands l kept for the general publlo. The demand for. them and the ease with which they were located and en tries made led to the suspicion that aome one acquainted with the. recorda of the land office had been giving out informa tion not generally disclosed. Tho law-was intended to give the tim ber' entered to the person making the entry and for . his own 4eneflt and to prevent the very system that has been built up through collusion and fraud. This system. It is said, could not have prospered if tho rights of the people had been protected during the' adminis tration of former Commissioner Her mann.
