SUSPECTED CHINESE MURDERESS
TO BE WIFE OE
Woman Came to This City Shortly After Seid Bing
Was Killed and Mutilated.
That Ol Sen, the Chinese woman
wanted in Portland for the murder
of Seid Bing and for whom every
Chinese quarter on the Pacific coast
is being combed, is none other than
the wife of Ung Goey, well known
Pendleton merchant, was definitely
established this morning when Port
land papers containing the photo
graph of the woman reached the city.
All of the local officers and many
townspeople recognized the pictures
immediately and several local Chi
nese have admitted that she is the
woman wanted. Goey, himself is si
lent and, if he knows anything of the
whereabouts of his wife, the secret
la locked In his bosom.
A Chinese runner from Portland
arrived in the city this morning
searching for a clew to the alleged
murderess and has been working with
the local officers. However, the wo
man Is well known here that it Is
thought highly improbable that she
will attempt to hiio here.

Mrs. Goey was in Pendleton dur'ng
the latter part of December, accord
ing to trainmen, and they believe she
came here soon after the murder. Pat
McKee, yardmastrr for the O.-W. R.
& N. company, declares he saw her
about a month ago early m the morn
ing asleep In the waiting room of the
dpot. Knowing she was, awaiting
the train to Portland, he awakened
her when the train pulled in and
states that she appeared very start
led when he shook her into wakeful
ness. Mr. Goey Well Known.
Oi Sen was well known to the ma
jority of Pendleton citizers. She
came here about nine years ago and
on March 7, 1903, was married to
Ung Goey by Judge Thomas Fltz
Gerald, in the presence or Postmast
er J. T. Brown and Attorney Charles
Carter.'
Her married, life was not a happy
one and her presence here kept lo
cal Chinatown in a continual turmoil
for a number of years. She owned
a noodle Joint on Alta street and
constantly figured in some trouble
with others of her race. Finally
during 1910, sho was accused by O
K. Joe, a well known celestial, of
(tenling $400 but was never convict
ed. However, before the case was
cuser had called upon the police for
setlled, both the woman and the ac
protection, declaring their lives to be
In danger. Shortly after thla trou
ble, the pretty little troublemaker
left for Portland and has not lived
with her husband since. In a letter
to Judge Fltz Gerald she declared
ho had treated her like a yellow dog
and that she never would live with
him again.
Mrs. Goey was an exceptionally
beautiful little oriental and was
much admired here. The officers re
garded her as being one of th9
shrewdest and cleverest persons with
whom they had ever dealt and believe
her quite capable of planning and ex
ecuting a crime such as the one of
which she Is accused.
Don't get scared; in the war of the
colonels nobody will be killed.

HEAD OF FORMER ECUADOREAN PRESIDENT
' CUT OFF BY FORMER LOVING SUPPORTERS
Guayaquil, Ecuador, Jan. 26. Insanely angered because General
Montero, formerly president of Ecuador and only a few months ago
their popular hero, received a sentence of sixteen years in prison in
stead of being condemned to death for treason, a large mob of infuri
ated citizens today overran the troops and authorities about the prison
where the general was confined, battered down the doors, secured the
prisoner, dragged him into the streets and cut off his head and then
riddled his body with bullets.
General Montero was proclaimed president of the republic, follow
ing the revolt here last November. - He transfered the presidency
shortly afterward, to General Alfaro, and his erstwhile loyal support
er's love for him turned to bitter hate, resulting in the fearful Inci
dent today. ,

LITTLE CITY OE HELIX
THE THRILL OF LIFE;
Though generally supposed to be a
somewhat quiet burg that has about
reached its limit of growth for the
present the little city of Helix is do
ing things these days and in some re
spects is "putting it over" all the
other towns of the county?" It has
building operations Just at present
that are not bad at all and there are
other signs of stirring life in Helix
and its neighborhood.
Among the new buildings now un
der construction is a two story busi
ness structure, tho second story of
which is to be used for Commercial
club quarters. Helix has a Commer
cial club, bo it known, and if its new
rooms are fitted up in accordance with
the possibilities Helix will have by far
tho finest club rooms in Umatilla
county, if not in eastern Oregon.
An improvement of interest in the
Helix neighborhood is the establish

Action of Manchus in
Abdicate
IS HELD RESPONSIBLE"
Concession Seekers Cause
to Stand Pat for Financial
Shanghai, China Jan. 26. Forg
ing ahead in the face of a terrific
fire, a large force of revolutionists,
commanded by General Li, today ut
terly routed a larger force of imper
ial troops in th first battle of the
rebel advance on Peking in an effort
to strike a crushing blow at the seat
of government of the Manchu dynas
ty. The battle occurred midway be
tween Nanking and Tien Thin, where
a large Manchu force intercepted and
attempted to check the northern ad
vance of the rebels from Shan Tung.
The number of dead on either side
is unobtainable. Dispatches receiv
ed here from Wu Chang state that
the main section of the rebel army
ha started toward Peking to aid the
northwest forces in the proposed at
tack on the capital.
The Shanghai Gazette today in an
editorial charges that the Standard
Oil company of America, and several
other seekers of special concessions
are responsible for the' failure of the
recent peace negotiations.
It is believed that this will greatly
intensify the feeling against foreign
ers. Many think that Republican
President Sun headed the suggestions
of representatives of concession seek
ers and it Is declared that the for
eign corporations contributed finan
cial support to Dr. Sun's campaign
for president and that as, a reward
he stood pat for them.
HEIRSHIP CASES IN
FISHER'S DEPARTMENT
Despite efforts made by interested
persons to restore Indian heirship
cases to the jurisdiction of federal
courts, the secretary of the interior
will still continue to hear all cases
pertaining to the matter. Secretary
Fisher to whom Senator Chamberlain
has referred a letter from R. J. Sla
ter of this city, asking that jurisdic
tion regarding the lights of heirs of
Indian,, allottees be restored to the
courts, says that the new law giving
this into the hands of the secretary
of the Interior was the result of
careful thought, and that It has been
in operation over a year and that it
appears to be giving general satisfac
tion. He says: "Experience has
shown that better evidence has been
obtained than ever before." He adds
that when the department finda the
evidence adduced at hearings in in
sufficient, other hearings are ordered.
Uncle Ike Stephenson can keep his
seat, but his sort of man won't get
It again soon.

RURAL ROUTE A FACTOR
that town. The route runs down
Vansycle canyon, across to south Ju
niper, down Juniper to tho forks, up
north Juniper, extending through a
section of the Cold Springs country
and thence back to Helvx.. The route
will be 30 miles long and will serve
over 100 families.
When the new rural route gets
underway it will mean the abandon
ment of the Juniper postofflce since
the patrons of that office will have
their mail delivered each day right at
their homes. It will also discontinue
the star route out of Helix. ..
Among the farmers In the Helix
section there is now a feeling of op
timism over the crop outlook because
the rains of the past few weeks have
tetn favorable to the growing grain.
A large percentage of the farmers in
that section are young men, many of
them being renters.
