Cazadero, Cal., "Aug. 6. Oriental cun nlnr of th most inscrutable tf De marks the mystery surrounding the murder of the Kendall family, at 'the Isolated Starbuck ranch.-in the mountains near here. Four day. ago.ic,harred fragments of bones from the bodies of at least two persons , were found at the ranch, and for three days the authorities of five counties have been baffled by misleading Information believed to have been given them purposely by Japanese friends of Henry Tamaguchl, suspected by the au thorities of the murders. 4 . - Revenge, rohbery and religious 1 fa naticism are three motives the county authorities say strengthen the evidence they have against the suspect. Buddhist Call Coveted Iteaee. -Tamaguchl la believed to have been the forerunner of a Buddhist philo sophical and theosophieal-cult that de sired to establish a colony at the Star buck ranch. The Kendall family, com prising Thomas A. Kendall and his aged father and mother; . Enoch and Urs. op posed the plan and refused to relin quish their leaae of the ranch.- The Kendalls recently sold livestock for which they - neceh ed $300 In gold. This money has not been found. Yama-j guchl. It Is said, borrowed $1 to pay his way to the ranch and gave the lender l In gold in return Revenge is the most plausible .theory. according to the. police,- The Kendalls had legal and financial differences with Mrs. Margaret . St.rb.uck owner of the ranch. Yama guchl was 4 employed by Mrs. Starbuck and his' preaenee on the ranch aroused the ire of the Kerjdalls. :" Tamaguchl'. Story. . A week ago he appeared at the Star. thick home In Oakland, He was cruised and bleeding and told a story or tiavlng killed the vounaei' Kendall after a fight in which Kendall had at- UmpteU to shoot him. Tamaguchl ex pressed ;!&; tor klH-r himself, and ins actions were., so., strange that Mrs, starbuck summoned the police. The Japanese left before the detectives ar rived, -ami lias not been t seen alnoe. The police of San Francisco surmise that he may have embarked for the orient. .-. , That the rider Kendalls were slain Is unquestioned.. ..'Enough-'of their bodies lifls been found to eMtabJish . that fact teBf'.l'Cb through .the mnvnni ,nil n. vlPMfc.of the ranch for ; young Kendall's body is still under. way. . -. , ; Deep Ounala Kanlfest': fs'. The details, of' the murders sjiow t'erp criminal cunning. The aged cou l:lc were elala near the ranch house, which has come to he called the '"house of horror." The murderer severed their limbs n ith an ax, ut the flesh, from the bones and fed it to- the ljbgs on the lamli. The bones were charred In the kitchen stove,-then 'hidden" a consider able distance from the house. The younger Kendall probably was waylaid and shot a.mlle from the house, according to signs discerned by men skilled in woodcraft.,; He staggered to the hnt-n and th..A ... ....... Tils body is probably lburled In one of the ravines, the authorities believe. . Atter the slaughter the murderer scoured the 'ax and knives, washed all bloodstains from , the walls and floors of the house, remoed every videm- that would excite suspicion' and then fled., . . ... A week later, the cattle, horses and chickens on the ranch were found to be starving and an investigation was made by neighbors. The mound of ashes with Its calcined pieces of skull, Jawbones, fragments of clothing and personal ef fects, was found and the hunt for the murderer began.

' The flames have burned an area of 175,000 acres, and the situation Is still acute with the ten or fourteen serious ' fires not yet under control. , - , . i .' Of the damaged area 100,000 acres are government . holdings and 76,000 acres private lands. The figures were con tained, in, a. telegram received by the forest service from Assistant " District Forester Stlcott at Missoula, Mont if alt' the timber on this extensive area had been "destroyed It Is estimated that the loss would approximate $3,000,000. It is estimated that .the government timber has een damaged to the extent of 1250,000 and that the loss of.prtvate holders is between $160,000 and $200,000. Fire fighting has cost the government about l000 already and 1400 men' are on the fire lines combatting the flames. While forest ! off Icials here - believe that the xonea- over; which the fires spread have not been denuded entirely, they regard the estimate of loss to be very low owing to the extensive terri tory burned over, .
