is shown by what Is now happening oh

morning W. F. Nelson, president of the
-Oregon Trunk line, a Hill road, began
' the construction of line 100 miles
'long, from the mouth of the Deschutes
to Msdras. This project is to be fought

As soon as news of Nelson's' move
yesterday reached the Portland' head

'preparations were begun to launch con-

San Francisco, June as. Mrs. Kltsa-
beth Brandrup, it years old. a' respect-
aWa-womanr-Tealdinr-ln-the-'lrttle vil
lage of Baden, San Mateo county. Was
murdered Friday afternoon. Her body,
with the marks of the assassin's fingers
on the throat, waa discovered by her
16-yeajNold daughter, Llssie MoDonnell,
in an unused storeroom In the Linden
hotel, where the crime was committed
at (:td the same night. Half -an hour
later Constable Carroli arrested George
C. Jones, a Kanaka half-breed, and
Harry E. Coffland and placed them in
the . village ,' lockup. Today : Carroll
formally . charged the ' half-breed with
murder and turned his two prisoners
over to Sheriff Mansfield.
Mrs. -Brandrup, who waa the wife of
John Brandrup, a 'blacksmith of Baden,
waa first choked into Insensibility and
then beaten to death. It la the theory
of the authorities that sha was lured
Into Jones1-room, where after making
an unsuccessful attack ' upon her, he
murdered her, dragged her body through
the hall of the hotel to the Isolated and
deserted storeroom, where he hid It un
til .such a time aa ho could remove the
traces , of ' his crime, under cover of
darkness. The slain woman's hat 'and
a pair of stockings she bought on Fri
day for her youngest child were found
In the half-breeds room. -
The - hat was hidden In the wash
stand. The stockings were among his
effects on the- floor. Coffland Is sun-
posed by the authorities to know more1
about the murder than he haa yet made
public- He Is being held for investiga
tion. - '.' -
Both Cofflsnd and Jones deny that
they know anything of the killing of
Mrs. Brandrup, declaring that they can
prove alibis when the proper time
comes.''
That the body was discovered Is one
of the peculiar circumstances pf this
mysterious case. As before stated, the
storeroom is apart from the other
rooms of the Linden hotel. Its door is
seldom opened. Tet when Lizzie Mc
Donnell passed that closed door after
dark Friday night, she was, she asserts
Impelled by some power stronger than
herself to open It. For a time she' re
sisted this power, but "I heard t my
mother calling," aha eaye. and turned
back to o; en the door and disclose the
crime that made her an orphan. Jones
is a powerfully built man and resembles
a mulatto . more than a South "SeS
Islander. He haalQld ...conflicting J
stories regarding his movements on the
day -of the murder. '.
ORDERED TO SLAY JEWS ;
' " (Continued from PSjge One.)
A government official sweara he' heard
an officer named -Yeltchln address his
subordinates aa follows: e
soldiers; Each will kill
two Jews." - . xr
This order was literally fulfilled. The
soldiers methodically broke into the
houses and separated the Christians
from the Jews. They shot the later,
often torturing them also....
4 '' Hot a mevolntlon. -
The official communication- alleging
that the affair was an attempt at' a
revolution is absolutely false, The po
lice and soldiers cannot produce a .sin
gle wounded man, though it is asserted
that tbe revolutionists fought for three
days. Three of the doumalsts agree thai
nd bomb was thrown. The fourth!
thinks a harmless petard
was thrown, but by -Whom there is no
evidence. ' "" -A
few hooligans were arrested for
show after the arrival of the. doumalsts,
then released and taken to the railway
and sent out of town. . I repeat . that
the massacre waa organised by the au
thorities with the knowledge of the high
est provincial officials and aided by the
soldiers and police without shame and
without mercy. The supreme govern
ment, even unaware. Is equally guilty,
as its past actions gave the local au
thorities reason to believe that it de
sired the massacre. ,

Butte. Mont June 21. "Thirty-three
million pounds of wool will be clipped
in Montana this year according to con
servative estimates," said W. R. Shel
don of the Wisconsin Central railroad
this evening, on, His return from an ex
tended trip throughout Montana. "When
you consider that the average price for
wool is 24 cents per pound this year,
said Mr. Sheldon, "you can easily see
that Montana's - output amounts to
something.. At Billings I saw an indi
vidual raiser refuse an offer of $160,
000 for his clip. Much of this year's
wool haa been sold for 25 cents and
some sheepmen have been fortunate
enough to do even better. Sheep and
cattle are reported to be In excellent
condition this, summer as a result of
the favorable ' cllmatlo conditions and
