see no other solution of the robbery, but
that Mr. Hill was a party to it. The

Suicide at Hood. Kiver.
went across ' the bill into the canyon,
down which the flume from the mills
runs, and his father, after a vain search,
return ed home, but not finding the boy
there, immediately returned to the can
yon to make further search for him. He
found the body about 2 o'clock. The
boy was. lying on his left side, while
under him was a vine maple stick about
three feet long, in one end of which he
Lhad cut a notch. The gun waa lving be
side him discharged, and to the trigger
was about six feet of string.,' It is sup
posed that the boy .touched the trigger
with the stick, as he had placed the
muzzle of the gnn against his left breast.
The' entire charge entered his side, mak
ing a ragged hole two inches in diame
ter. The body was taken home, and
there the inquest was held, resulting in
the following verdic?
"We the jurors impaneled to inquire
into the cause of the death of WilhShoe
maker of Hood River, Oregon, find that
deceased came to his death by a shotgun
wound in the left breast, inflicted by his
own band , with intent to commit suicide :

Will, the 17-year-old son of B. F.
Shoemaker, waa -found dead by his
father back of the Oregon Lumber Co.'s
flume, and about a half mile back of his
home, yesterday afternoon at Hood
Kiver. The boy has been, very despond
ent, and it seems to be a case of suicide.
As soon as his father missed him, which
waa in less than half an hour after he
left the house, he followed him, but did
not come up with him until, he was
dead. The coroner went down today to
enquire into the cause of his death. '
Coroner Butts returned fiom holding
an' inquest on the remains' of the de
- ceased on the afternoon local, and from
him we learn the further particulars of
the sad affair. Will, it seems, had re
ceived a light sunstroke while working
in the hop-fields at Yakima last summer
aud has been morose and despondent
ever Bince. Yesterday morning he took
the shot-gun and started hunting about
10 o'clock. His, father came to the
house a few moments after he left, and
immediately followed, him. The bov
Fraser lodge, No. 16, 1. O. G. T., gave
an apron and pencil social at their hall
on Three Mile, Saturday evening, with
quite a crowd in attendance considering
the stormy weather. After ajl. had
arrived that was expected, the house
was called to order by Chief Templar J.
A. Taylor, who stated the object was to
have a contest of an' apron hemming
by the gentlemen and pencil sharpening
by the ladies, prizes to be awarded .to
those doing the neateBt work, followed
by -a short program. , Two sets of num
bers having been procured, one was
given to the ladies for their aprons and
the other was drawn by the gentlemen
for their pencils. Some time was lost
in finding partners, but Eoon all was
quiet and the work began. The judges
were unable to- decide on two aprons
hemmed by Will Moore and Mr. Mc
Culley (a stranger to the writer). "The
work could not be excelled by any of the
ladies present," so said one of. "the
judges.; They compromised by drawing
straws,. Mr. McCulley on drawing the
short Btraw, which was the .winning one,
was awarded the prize "Forget-me-not",
a Wyandotte rooster. Anyone
wishing further pedegree of the fowl
may nave it oy enquiring of Brother
Fraser. . Mrs. Chase, the fortunate one
one in pencil sharpening; prize "The
Tattooed Man." The ladies might have
done better if all had bad sharper knives;
Some were ' provided with old rusty
butcher knives; the blades resembling
an old worn out saw. Following was the
program : - ' ;

THE 'BOBBERS CAUGHT
OTIS
SAVAGE AMD. FBANK KLEIN
ARRESTED.
And the Latter Confesses, and Bolnts
Ont the Biding; Places Jf the
Stolen Money..
Quite an exestement was caused Sun
day morning when it became known
that the parties who robbed the express
office had been arrested, and that those
parties were Otis Savage and . Frank
Klein. This excitement' increased to
the flaming point when the latter con
fessed and pointed out the places where
the money was bidden. The clue which
lead to the arrest of the boys was fur
nished by Walter Rowe and Hawthorne,
it- being; to' the effect that the iron bar
with which the express box was broken
Open was owned by the gang last spring,
and that in dividing up the tools the
bar in question fell to Savage and Klein.
They further stated that the tool in
question was one of the lot that they
had provided with the intention of hold
ing op and going through the passenger
trrin at some point near the high trestle
six miles west of town. Following this
clue, a close watch was kept on the boye,
and Saturday night they were arrested
and put through the "sweat box." Sav
age denied, and still denies all knowl
edge ot the affair. Klein, however,
could not stand' the pressure, and gave
in detail the plan and execution of the
robbery. .
The detectives are keeping everything
very close, giving out no information;
hence jnst what he confessed iB hard to
say, bat we give the substance of the
rumors connected with it. According to
these, Klein, says that Ralph Gibons,
the night watchman, was implicated
with them', and that he was to keep- the
officers away .while Savage and Klein
got away with the money. Klein had
two keys to the office, which he had had
for a year or more. With one of these
the door of .the office was opened, the
box being served the same way. They
were only in the office for a moment,
and dividing the plunder, pulled the
door, which fastens with a spring lock,
and walked, north across the railroad
track. They threw the money under
the old building washed up near the
railroad track at the west Bide of the
Cosmopolitan, and at ohee went home,
being in bed ten minutes after the rob
bery occurred..- The next morning they
got the money and divided it, Klein tak
ing the sack containing $5,000 in small
gold, which he buried in the yard at his
father's house. Savage buried the re
mainder of the money' at the corner of
the' building mentioned, and near the
sidewal:. . Following Klein'a instruc
tions, all the money was found but
about $200; which had been kept out for
spenaing money. ; - -
The . boys were taken before Justice
Davis this morning, but as whatever was
done waa behind closed doors, nothing
definite can be told. We are informed,
however, by one who ought , to know,
that the boys will' have -an examination
tomorrow at 10 o'clock, and that neither
of them will waive examination.
About noon .Night Watchman Gibons
was arrested and taken before Justice
Davis. The bonds of all those arrested
were fixed at $5000 each. - i
By tomorrow night the full particulars
as to Klein's confession, and other mat
ters may probably become public. In
the meanwhile the detectives are look
ing wise and waiting for somebody else
to tell them something. . ,
Whatever else may be shown by the
testimony we feel certain that Ralph
Gibons will come out of this examina
tion with no shadow of suspicion resting
upon him. Klein's story is to be dis
believed in some respects, and we cer
tainly would disbelieve anything he
would say implicating Gibons. It seems
suspicion fell on him for telling -the boys
the money was in the box, but the ac
cepted story concerning that, matter is
that Hill hunted Gibons up for the pur
pose of having him help him take the
money tot he office. He met Ralph with
.Otis Savage and calling him to one side
told him the money was coming, but it
seems, loud enough for Savage to hear.
Those who know Ralph Gibons will re
quire more evidence than that of a con
fessed criminal before they will 'doubt
his honesty. v- Besides the accusation
against ' him made ; by Klein might be
prompted by revenge: Klein and Savage
bad deen identified with Hawthorne and
Rowe, before the robbery of Mays &
Crowe's store, if not at the time. Ralph
Gibons is the man who recognized Haw
thorne and Rowe and who made their
arrest possible. It is hot probable that
he would have anything to do with them,
even if inclined to he a 'criminal. It is
quite probable that those whom he
caused to be arrested, whose gang be
broke up, and whose plans were thereby
destroyed; would endeavor to pull him
down in their own ruin. .-'.
It is said that further arrests will be
made, but this remains to be seen. - The
true story of the robbery cannot be
known until the evidence has been sub
mitted in the courts and there sifted
under direction of the - judge by the
attorneys in the case. .
How He Does It.
Mr. 0,Brien, of Umatilla county, is a
level-beaded farmer. Instead of looking
sour, he eays he is mking money this
year. He doesn't sleep. He diversifies
his business, and runs it. on business
principles. Let's Bee. He gets about
$200 from hie butter ; $100 to $200 from
his potatoes ; perhaps -$1 00 from his hay ;
his hogs pan out well and even' with
wheat as low as it is this year - he clears
something. VMr. O'Brien,", was aeked,
"what principles do you apply to your
farming to enable you to make money
when so many are complaining that in
no department on the farm can a profit
be secured?" The reply was: "It Is
by diversity of crops, and by carefully
keeping account of all outlay and reve
nue so as to tell how much more is se
cured from one line than another. .
