Brumfleld, a dentist nnd a reward of 20o for his apprehension, hns been posted by sheriff Htatner of Douglas county, following the discovery Into yesterday of a hurtling automobile, from which 0 charred body was re moved. The body rms been identified f OH that of Dennis Russell, a laborer, j whom Brumfleld visited July IS to oh. tain his servlcos In blasting stumps from the Brumfleld farm. A bloody I and shot-torn hat found near the road wns Identified as Russet's. The body was clothed in Russell's clothing, hut was wearing Brumfleld's shoes and signet ring. The clothing of both men were found nearby. Blood was found on the river bank. Mrs. Brumfleld In sists the charred body Is her hUBbnnd and others declare It Is Russels, Both men are missing. Brumfleld is known to hHve carried heavy Insurance. A mysterious tangle envelopes the deed. Hiwntly Hart Two Houses Burn Brumfleld had two houses burn Into, ly and recently bought a new place.

There probably are tew people who have not cither heard or made that remark several times during the course of their lives when they have been flushed with a sense of superior ity of the accomplishments of this twentieth century of ours over the successes that had been marked down to the credit of Americans In thf.t early day when Washington lived. The chances are thnt George would have to rub his eyes several times, too, before he could bo Induced lo b 1 eve thfU this present-day America is the same little country thnt he was iluldy of when it started'on its career But while you're wasting a lot of unnecessary sympathy on George, here Is a little poser that applies to 1821 and Pendleton: How many men and women live here who have never seen a big; combine take wheat off of the stalk, convey It on canvasses to the cylinders of a huge moving thresh ing machine, separate the grain from the chaff and deposit a red-brown stream of wheat In a wngon alongside ami windrow the straw behind? ' Behind lieitrxv Washington. Humph! I guess there are several who are In the same fix that I was in until yesterday afternoon, and believe me or not, I hnve an idea that you have a lot mar sympathy1 coming to vou for being' behind the times tlinii should he given George, because you must admit that he was certainly right In style on things (hat happened in his own day, and In some respects he cs tuhllrhed standards that we haven't been able to Improve on even In ibis age. The desire to see a big combine out fit at work has been In the back of my mind as long as I've know the thrill of a wheat harvest, so when Dave Nelson, who farms a liltle 10(11) acre patch three miles north of town, Invited me out. I went right after the opportunity. (Continued on page .) SEATTLE, July 15. (U. P.) The Coast Cutter Hear reported the dam aged schooner Gertrude beached near the East cape of Siberia. The Ger trude's ctew is safe following the benching of the vessel during the most violent storm that has struck the Bear ing Pea this year. The schooner Bam, lost between Teller and Nome, Alaska, Is now ten days overdue. The Bner is also hunting for this vessel. It Is not known whnt cargo or how many pas sengers the Ham carried. Amundsen's crew from the Maud is on the Pear, and the vessel herself is In tow. ilOIBII burning. Sheriff Stumer's belief is that dynamite, carried in Die car, went off, decapitating Russell, setting fire lo the car, musing it to plunge Into a tree and turn over Into a ravine. Itrnmfield's participation In the occur rence Is held to lie mysterious. His presence in (he car at the time Is be lieved sure. His signet ring and shoes was found on the hofly o." the man. The vests and watches of both men were found under the body. Hits of scalp and gray hair wero found near the car Brumfleld's hnlr was black. Brum field's motive, provided he was con nected with the deed. Is unexplained. . Sheriff Ijonds Posse ROSRIirRC, July 15 (IV P.) Sheriff Stumer Is leading a posse scouring the hills In an endeavor toj find Brumfleld or Russell. 1U Is con- fldent that the body found In the auto mobile Is that of Russell and llrum fleld Is the real object of the search. .Brumfleld Is described as a heavyset man, weighing ISO pounds, black potn podoured hair, wearing a light suit, white socks, oxford shoes, nose glasses and earring himself erect. All evidenen tends to support Stsmer's theory that Brumfleld Is stlil niive and Russell dead.
