Woman's Body Taken To Independence Mortuary Meanwhile in an Independence mortnary the body of Mrs. Dick inson was held, pending funeral arrangements and after the. scene of the tragedy and the position of the body had been seen by the Polk county sheriff and coroner. While rumors of murder ran quickly about this quiet town to day, any motires for a crime was not evidenced by the facts and townspeople tonight were attri buting the death of Mrs. Dickin son to a tragic accident In which the yonng man she had befriend ed played the sad but major role, ; Relatives of the Dickinsons who are one of the best known families in this district, said young Lawson, now held in Port land, had become acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson through their daughter, Pauline Dickinson, a yonng woman about 21, who taught last year near Dallas. Law son, whose father and mother are separated, wanted a job on a farm where hecould attend high school. Pauline Dickinson brought him to her parents who made arrange ments that he should work on the farm and attend Independence high school. School Attended Until Short Time Ago The lad had gone steadily to school until a fortnight ago when he quit, telling the principal that next fall he would enter a poly technic school in Portland. He was reported 'today as being a mild mannered young man, con sidered "a member of the Dickin son family." No quarrels were known to have occurred between him and Mrs. Dickinson who was known here as a mild-tempered and friendly woman. t While Lawson was reported not to have stayed at the Dickinson home Tuesday night he was there this morning to do the chores and after Dickinson went to his brother's adjoining farm to work, young Lawson was seen at work in the garden next to the house by the driver of the Independence high school bus. Death Occurs About Nine o'clock In Morning From the report of Dr. G. C. Knott, called to the Dickinson home after the tragedy, Mrs. Dickinson died about 9 o'clock in the morning. Those who attri buted her death as accidental sur mised that young Lawson may have come to the house to get the shot-gun, a 16-guage pump gun, and taken it into the dining room where Mrs. Dickinson sat sewing and listening to the radio. Here either while loading or cleaning the gun, Lawson discharged it, striking -the woman mil in the face. No motive for the possible mur der of Mrs. Dickinson could be found aa no ill-feeling apparently existed, Lawson was a boy of good character and there was no theft of goods or money. The Dickinson home where the shooting occurred Is five miles south of Independence, one mile to the west of the Independence Corrallis road and two miles from Parker. Several members of the Dickinson family live in the vi cinity. Three children survive their mother as well as George Dick inson, the husband. The children are Mrs. Roy Young, Salem ; Paul ine Dickinson, a teacher near Portland; Alva Dickinson, 9, a talent In grade school in Independence. Possible Salt Famine Is Reported as One Result Of Mahatma's Campaign BOMBAY, INDIA, April 30. (AP) The ctvil disobedience campaign of Mahatma Gandhi, centering around violations of the government salt monopoly and propaganda against foreign cloth, is beginning to have economic re percussions. Reports have snread among salt merchants recently that the gov ernment either would abolish the salt duty or reduce it. Hence they cancelled orders or took such quantities as were sufficient for current needs, with the cons& quense that salt prices rose in some districts. The government today issued a communique denying that aboli tion or reduction of the duty was planned and urged traders to re sume normal activity. The com munique pointed out that salt can be removed from the salt works for only a few weeks before the monsoon season arrives, and that if business is held up a rise in prices with possibly a rait fa mine will follow.
