shooting that is attributed to
Jesse Mullinix, 40, now in the
county jail under a charge of
assault with intent to kill.
Knowledge that Mrs. .Steiger
would be the sole heir to a large
estate her husband would leave
in case of death, and that if he
successfully wooed her he
would get it, is another theory
that was being worked upon to
day by Prosecuting Attorney
Max Gehlhar,
Mullnix was formally charged with
the crime last evening: He probably
will be arraigned In court late this aft
ernoon, Mr. Gehlhar said. The arraign
ment has been delayed, it was stated,
to enable deputies from the sheriff's
office to gather further evidence on
the case.
Steiger Sonfesses.
Reluctantly Mr. Steiger, who Is con
fined at the Salem hospital, -told Mr.
Gehlhar and Sheriff Needharh yester
day afternoon that he did quarrel with
Mullhilx while he was'employed on his
farm in August, 1918, and that he or
dered him from the premises after
Mullinix had paid undue attention to
Mrs. Steiger. Steiger admitted that he
did not believe that Mullinix would re
turn after this long elapse of time to
get revenge thought to have been
sought when they disagreed on how
horses on the farm should be cared
for.
Investigation made by Deputies
Bower and Smith on the Steiger farm
yesterday resulted in the finding of five
empty pistol cartridges, from which,
authorities aver, the bullets which en
tered Steiger's body came. They were
found lying together about ten paces
from where the shooting occurred.
Shot' nt Barn Door.
It developed today that the shooting
did not occur in -the barnyard wnue
' Mr. Steiger was en route to the house,
but that It occurred at the entrance of
the bam.
It is the belief of Prosecuting Attor
ney Gehlhar that whoever commltteed
the crime had intimate knowledge of
Mr. Steiger's habits. For, according to
Steiger's story as told yesterday at the
hospital, his assailant reached through
the door, that was apar not more than
a foot and a half, and fired Just as he
:rame through with the milk buckets.
Steiger said that he struck at the man
with his lantern, then grappled with
him. When his strength ebbed the
fellow broke away and ran. He is be
lieved to have emptied the shells from
the revolver as he ran, and thrown the
weapon into a moat nearby. Authori
ties have thus far been unable to find
the revolver.
Neighbors Silent.
Although declining to discus uie
matter with officials, neighbors near
the Steiger farm persist In stories that
Mullinix had made clandestine visits
to the Steiger home recently and that
they saw htm with Mrs. Steiger. They
y there can be no doubt that Mul
linix and Mrs. Steiger enjoyed Intimate
acquaintance.
Prosecuting Attorney Gehlhar re
tailed today that about two years ago
"e was on the point of filing a charge
t perjury against Mullinix when he
testified in a criminal case in one of
the local courts. He claims that the
Prisoner, who testified as a witness ?n
the case at that time, made misrepre
sentations of time in an attempt to es
tsW'fh an alibi for a friend. For this
reason, Mr. Gehlhar said today, he Is
'"dined to disbelieve Mullinlx's state
ment that he was playing pool In a
"'"lard hall down town here when the
wwtlng occurred at 8 o'clock.
,'t was reported from the Salem hos
pital at noon that Mr. Steiger's condi
tion la "good," and that every hope for
recovery is held out.

Allies Discover
Huge Stores of
Arms In Germany
Paris. March 27. Great quantities
of arms have been discovered in Ger
many by the allied officers charged
with supervising execution of the
peace treaty, according to advices re
ceived here. In Brandenburg and in
the immediate vicinity of Berlin alone
3,500 three-Inch field guns were found.
This discovery by the allied officers,
together with other information In
possesison of the French authorities, is
considered by French officials to in
dicate that Germany Is endeavoring
to avoid executing the terms of the
treaty.
The discovery Is commented upon In
connection with reports that-a repub
lic has been proclaimed in the Ruhr
region. The French, It Is Indicated, are
inclined to believe that occupation of
the Ruhr district by German trobps
or the alleged separate government
would have as an ultimata effect, if
not as a direct object, delay or evasion
in executing the treaty terms.
Particular significance is attached
here to the discovery of so many field
guns in a small part of German tn
view of the fact that the Germans, re
plying to the demands of the commis
sion of control to which Germany's
excess war material and munitions
should have been delivered March 10,
declared it was immaterial whether
the munitions were delivered to the al
lies or destroyed and they were
destroying them.

Eyerly Brothers

telegraphic Instructions from Bakers-

with burglary and grand larceny,
were enroute to Bakersfield today in
the. custody of "deputy Sheriffs A. P.
Cochran and T. E Yancey. Failure to
gather any evidence in Montana suf
ficiently strong t to outweigh the
charge against the pair of breaking
into a garage and stealing an auto
two years ago, was given today as
the reason for withdrawing the ha
beas corpus proceedings and permu

cution. ,
The brothers were taken from the
city Jail last night by the Bakersfie'd
deputies, after a copy of the with
drawal motion had been served on
Chief of Police Welsh. They left fo?
the south on train 13, which will ar
rive in Bakersfield some time Sunday

The arrest of the Eyerly brothers
in Salem two years after the crime, to
which they have confessed, was coin
mitted; their spectacular fight against
extradition, and final surrender o
the law has attracted coast wide in

Workers Revolt
Extends Thruout
Saxony Is Report
Falkenstein. Saxony, Mar. 25.
Workers have taken control in towns
and cities of Lower Saxony, but there
is an impression their
would be short lived as they are not
sufficiently organised In a military
way to resist pressure successfully. In
this little town, tucked away in a pret
ty valley 15 miles from Plauen, Max
Hoelze, whose regular Job is lecturer
in a moving picture theater, is direct
ing affairs. Widespread reports ns
had established a soviet republlo here
made him famous throughout Ger
many a few days ago but these rumors
are declared untrue. The burgomas
ter f'.ed when the upheaval came and
workers have since been co-operating
with the other town officials.
One hundred workers under the di
rection of Hoelze entered Plauen Sun
day night and kidnaped City Attorney
Hubert and held htm until he gave up
data he had gathered for the prosecu
tion of trade unionists and communr
lsts accused ot political agitation. Herr
Hubert's wife came to Falkenstein and
secured the release ot her husband
after he had been a prisoner for five
hours.
Hoelze has established headquarters
in castle ot Freiherr Falkenstein who
has fled from-this region.
The red flag waves from the tower.
