Blew Off Victim's Head-
The state will further contend
that the dentist, following the
wrecking of his roadster, blew off
Russell's head with a stick of dy
namite and removed the jaws of
the victim so that there could be
no chance of using the teeth to
identify the murdered man as Rus
sell. The jaws and other parts of
the head have never been found.
Besides his own clothing. Hrum
field is alleged to have placed his
own ring on the dead man's finger.
Mrs. Brumfield, after viewing
the remains of the murder victim
and until her husband was cap
tured a month later, persistently
maintained that the murdered per
son was the dentist. Whether she
knew differently and preferred
that her three children should re
member their father as a murder
victim instead of the brutal taker
of a human life, may alwvs re
main a secret as far as the public
is concerned. For the state has in
dicated no intention of attempting
to make Mrs. Brumfield an acces
sory to her husband's alleged
crime.
Pink Shirt Puzzle.
Considerable mystery exists con
cerning the box of lingeries which
Brumfield expressed to Seattle on
the afternoon preceding the mur
der. He purchased various bits of
flimsy underwear hut not a com
plete outfit at a local store and
shipped the box from an adjoin
ing town, to which he made a hur
ried automobile trip.
In the box, when returned to the
authorities here, was a pik silk
shirt, which was bought at the
store by a strange woman just be
fore Brumfield entered to buy the
lingerie. The dentist spoke to her.
It may develop at the trial that
there was a "woman in e case."
The prosecution will contend
that the purchase and sb'oment of
lingeries by Brumfield htore the
murder shows his alleged crime
was premeditated, and will ask for
conviction for first degree mur
der. The penalty In Oregon Is "to
haig by the i.eck until dead."
gregation of football men to a
near standstill and had substituted
a bare 7 to 3 defeat for a prospec
tive drubbing.
Bohler had license to be pleased
with the outcome and tickled with
the showing of his team in the
Oregon fray, but not because his
men showed any particular knowl
edge of the game he is trying to
teach them. The Bource of his sat
isfaction must lie in the spirit
shown by the Bearcats.
To many of the Willamette boys
Saturday's game was their first
taste of intercollegiate football,
yet the size and reputation of
their opponents dismayed them
not. They fgught from the first
whistle to the final gun and fought
the hardest when the tide of de
feat was running strongest against
them.
Two weeks of practice, and that
without opportunity for scrim
mage, had given Bohler but little
opportunity to teach his men any
thing but the fundamentals of de
fensive football and nothing in the
line of offensive tactics. Under
fire the Bearcats, with few excep
tions, remembered the admonitions
of their coach they kept their
eyes on the ball, played safe and
fought every minute.
class of the gridiron game. Ore
gon's weakness and not Willam
ette's strength was responsible for
the close and small scoro.
At no time during the four quar
ters did Willamette have a chance
to win except, perhaps, by a fluke.
Their impromptu offensive could
not pierce the Oregon line or gain
around the ends. Lack of familar-
ity with forward passing deprived
them ot the greatest offensive
weapon of a light team against a
heavy one. Their chance to use
the jingle offensive weapon at
their disposal, the field kick for
goal, came to them on a fluke.
They knew nothing but to play
safe and kick out of danger;
merely the rudiments of defensive
football. And that don't win
games.
Nor is the foregoing comment1
passed to belittle or discourage the
Bearcats and their followers.
Rather it is to warn them that
they have a lot more to learn be
fore they can play the class of
football that will give them an
even break over the handicap they
face in their contests with the
larger colleges. They are learn

Approximately 6000 cords of wood

John Tuel, was returned two days
after leaving the camp.

Prominent Wisconsin Man
Says Tanlac Promptly Re
lieved Him of Bad Case of
Stomach Trouble of Sixi
Months' Standing Gains
27 Pounds and Feels Fine as
a Fiddle.
It is an unquestionable fact,
that Tanlac is now being more
widely endorsed by well known
men and women than any other
medicine on the American mar
ket. One of the latest to testify
is George E. Nickels, well known
lecturer, residing at 227 Wells
St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
"Tanlac has not only complete
ly restored my health, but I have
actually gained 27 pounds in
weight," said Mr. Nickels in re
ferring to the remarkable bene
fits he had derived from the
medicine.
"For something over six
months, my stomach was very
badly disordered. I suffered terri
bly from indigestion and dyspep
sia. At times I would be in great
distress and I would invariably
experience an uncomfortable
bloated feeling for hours after
eating. I had no appetite scarcely
and the little I ate would often
make me deathly sick. My head
ached until I felt like it would
burst and I was so nervous I
trembled like a leaf. When I got
up in the mornings, I was so weak
and dizzy, I couldn't trust myself
to walk around and I just hurt
all over.
"Tanlac has brought about a
wonderful change in my condi
tion for I am now enjoying the
very best of health. My appetite
is splendid. I relish my meals. Ev
