then ahe ran out into the' kitchen to the

thought she had swallowed the ale the
wrong way so that It was choking her
and I began slapping her on the back.

' Xer Story la Confirmed,
When the apartment wag visited by
the detectives after. Mrs. Van Dran's
death, many things were foitnd which
amply confirmed i the etory told by Mlas
Montelth. On the shelf -in the pantry
atood the bottle of olives of which Mrs.
Van Draa spoke to her sister while they
were down town, .and. which 'tha latter
was examining while - Mrs.' Van Dran
waa pouring the ale. The gas Jet m the
hall, about 80 feet distant from- the pen
try, casts Juat enough light to enable a
person to find his way about the pantry,
but hot enough to see very closely.
The temporary disappearance of Mrs.
Van Dran's rings Immediately after her
death, and their subsequent discovery
is commented on. by tha Oregonlan as a
rclrcumatanca damaging, to Mlas Mon
telth. ; It waa nearly 84 hours after the
death that Van Dran and hla sister-in-law
noticed that the rings Were not on
the dead woman's hands. Hasty search
failed to discover them, and the fact
was reported' to the police. . On Mon-.
day, the second day after the tragedy.
Van ,Dran made a aeoond and more
thorough search, and finally he unt
locked his wife's trunk, which stood in
the -dlntnitroom. In the trunk, in an
Opera-glass bag,' he 'found the rings. '
On the day of her death Mrs. Van
Dran had been engaged" ail day in houae
cleaning. She' and her husband had oc
cupied the apartment less than a month
Cad were not yet fully1 settled. Accor
ding to the testimony of both Van Dran
and Mlas Montelth Mrs. Van Dran waa
In the, habit of putting her Jewelry in
her trunk for aafe keeping. On the last

only 10 of which were to persons resid
ing outside of Oregon.
In making a report of his work for
the year, Schneider 'thla morning' looked
up the, hunters' license business and
found that the state had been enriched
13,471 from the sals of these permits In
Multnomah eounty alone, making this,
by long odds the banner hunting county.'
Citizens of Oregon are charged only fl
each- year for the right to -hunt, but
those coming from outside-, common
wealths must pay $19.
The license Issued for 104 will ex
pire tomorrow at midnight and today
there has been1 a rush of persons want
ing to get permits to bunt on New
