Although six months "have elapsed

" They are working on tha theory that
two men Davis and M liner, north end

Tha arrest of Paul Musa In connection

affidavit-slgnud by M liner, In which It
, was stated that Mum bad taken Mllaer
Into his confidence snd admitted com
plicity in tha crime. i ' ...

however, evidence .was "presentei by

- been positively Identified as tha man
who rushed out of tha saloon immedi
ately after the ahot waa fired, threw

In ferreting out a motive the detac

Tightly1 pinned " between T two, heavily
loaded wagons, with absolutely no ave
nue of escape, C W. Taylor, a teamster,
employed by the North Paclflo Lumber
company, was ' slowly and torturously
crushed to death in an unusual and
shocking manner this morning - In the
stables sdjolnlng the mill.'. '
From the testimony of John Hallerg,
the onlv sya-wltness of the tragedy, the
accident waa unavoidable. It appears
that Taylor, as was his custom, cam a
to the stable this morning to hitch up
bis team. ' After harnessing the horses
to tha vehicle he found that a wagon
loaded with . slabwodd had been driven

. The unfortunate driver asked Hallerg
to steer the wagon by the tongue when
the horse started to puU. Taylor took
up a position between his truck and
tha load of slabwood to drive- the
horses. - Entirely unmindful of danger
he failed to- notice the proximity of the
vehicle aa It gradually approached until
the -wheels "were -on- him, Caught - in
the oal-de-sao formed by the two trucka
ha emitted' an ear-plerclng scream and
tugged frantically on tha lines to- stop
the horses. The animals, believing that
such a signal wss for them to continue
pulling, continued ' to drag tha wagon
forward and Taylor waa . aqueesed
