Portland, May 6. The Portland
pollev are looking for Edward H.
Martin of Portland, a former employe
In the city -ngmeer's office, on sus
picion of complicity In the murder of
Nathnn Wolff, the pawnbroker who
was found dead, his body horribly
mutilated and Ills safe robbed, last
Friday evening.
Martin has not been seen for sev
eral days. He Is thought to have Tt
the city for a Pnget sound point last
Sunday.
The blood smeared shin that was
found In the rwar of a Soeonfl -ftreet
lodging house Monday Is believed rto
have belonged to Martin. The de
tectrves exrct to be able to announce
Martin's arrert at any moment.
A Cegr Man.
Elward II. Martin, the man the po
lice are looking Tor In connection
with the Nathan Wolff nrurder, Is a
graduate of West Point military col-
Kge, Fordham college, the New York
law school and the University of Ore
gon. Ho is 35 years of ago. He Is
said to have been 111 of Inte.
He was a temporary mjlrye In the
city engineer's office. He was lust
seen by his wife Sundny wenlng.
Retortion Diflcah.
The detection of Martin was ren
dered doubly dlflcult because of the
fact that the bloody shirt, which fi
nally led to his detection, was not
market with Martin's name, but with
the name of Its previous owner, who
had left It at a local pawnshop. Tler
Martin procured It and- gave his
name nnd address to the pawnbroker
when he purchased the shirt, and this
was the first direct clue that the po
lice seenred.

The garment was next seen when It
was found by the police In the rear
of the lodging house In the north end
It was taken, smeared with blood ani
torn. ThU fact, with the sudden di
appearance of Martin, point to his
guilt In an Irrefutable manner, as

Martin wa arrested last winter for
having opium In hlri possession, but
was later released. A few days ago
the suspected man sold his surveyor's
Instrument to n local stationery and
book company.
The entire northwest Is being
combed In search of Martin. A spec
ial detailed description Is being pre
pared for the cities, about San Fran

broker, who wttH murdered Friday
evening, called at the house of Mrs.
J. J. Doyle, at noon unlay and asked
her to Inform the police) that lie would
give lilmwelf up at the central station
In a disastrous fire that occurred
shortly after 3 o'clock this morning,
the It. E. Porter house, below the
ball grounds, was completely destroy
ed and the members of the family
escaped with their lives only by hasti
ly climbing through the windows.
The Porter place Is on California
street, below the Matlock ball grounds
u the house was a story and if half
structure. Delng beyond the end of
the water system there was no way
of fighting the flames and the fire
department was not called out. As a
result but few knew of the blaze until
during the day.
How the fire started Is a complete
mystery. According to Mrs. Porter,
tlie family retired about 9 o'clock last
evening and they were awakened be
tween 3 and 4 o'clock by finding the
house enveloped In flames. At the
time Mr. Porter was in Hermlston
and Mrs. poiter an J her children
were alone at home. Three of the
hlldren were sleeping In the upper
portion of the house and escaped by
going out upon the porch and Jump
ii.g off.
Py the time the family was arous
ed the flames had spread so that the
d or could not be reached and Mrs.
Porter escaped through a window. So
hurriedly did the family leave the
burning place that they had not even
n opportunity to dress and werp fore-
ed to seek shelter of their neighbors
In their night rohes. A small rock
tug chair was he only tiling about the
house that was saved.
The house was owned by the Por
ters and with the contents was valu
ed at $2000. Insurance to the
amount of $1100 was earrtt'd with J,
M. Bentley, and as the loss wns
total one this amount will doubtless
be paid In full.
Mrs. Porter was formerly Mrs. iiar-
ney Crowner.
Last evening the memory of the late
Thomas O. Halley was fittingly hon
ored by his fellow members of the
bar and by those who were his col
leagues during the time he served as
a member of the supreme court.
At the service held an the circuit
court room the five judges of the su
preme court occupied the bench as
though It were a regular session of
the supreme court. In the audience
were the local and visiting members
of the bar and many other friends of
the dead jurist and his family.
At the opening of the service R. J.
Slater read the resolution that had
been drafted by the commltte from
the bar association and moved Its
adoption. Then In a brief and infor
mal manner he spoke personally con
cernlng the character of Judge Halley
Following Mr. Slater, Judge S. A.
Lowell was called upon and gave an
eloquent tribute to his former law
partner and friend. He spoke In the
very highest terms of Judge Halley's
character as an attorney and also as
a citizen and a husband and father.
A a lawyer he had high conception
of his profession nnd the courage to
stand by his views of duty. During
his earlier years of practice he was a

Grants Pass, Ore., May 6. A sen
satlonal gold strike has just been
made on Williams creek, about 22
miles from Grants Pass, by the Jones
brothers and the Harrison brothers.
From the accounts brought In It seems
to be in the nature of a pocket, $7000
having already been taken out, with
an Immense amount In slgMt. The
finders brought some of the gold In
the last of the week and purchased
rines to take out with them to gulrd
their find. There is a posiblllty that
it may be on some of the Southern
Pacific railroad land. Some of the
flakes of gold were half the size of a
man's palm. A small rush of pros'
pectors Is on to the vicinity. Many
otner rich finds have been made tn
this same district.

La Porte, Ind., May 5. A crime In

man and three children and the de
capitation of a man and woman, their
heads being found In Backs, has de
veloped into one of the greatest mys
teries that the. police of this or any

arrested Ray Lamphere.
