Marshfield, Or., July 19. One of
the most destructive (Ires In the his
tory of Coos Bay occurred at 'North
Bend this morning at about 1 o'clock
In the Clark Woolen Mills building.
The flames. had gained such headway
before water could be" got to the
building that it was destroyed, with
all its contents. The structure was
280 feet long by 80 feet wide, and
three stories high. There was also a
large boiler and engine room and
large dry sheds. . The plant was one
of the best equipped on the coast, the
building and machinery being valued
at $80,000. There was no insurance
on the property. The mill had not
been operated for the past two years.
It was built in 1903 and was owned
by the Simpson Lumber Company.
Thomas Orr has removed to this
city from Elmlra.

MURDERED HIS AUNT
TO GET HER MONEY
New York, July 20. Police and
detectives of many cities are search
ing for August Kberhard, a grocery
clerk, suspected of knowing some
thing of the death of his aunt, Mrs.
Otllle Kberhard. who arrived from
Vienna last week and whose horri
bly mangled body was found on the
railroad track near Hackensack yes
terday. The woman and daughter were in
duced to come to this country un the
promise of riches, and that Kherhard
would marry the daughter. She
brought $2ti00 with ber. which was
changed to American money, after
Kberhard hud lodged his aunt and
cjusln In a lodging house. Yesterday
her body was found and the neph-w
is missing.
The girl, who Is twen'y. refuses to
believe that . her. oiisln nimder 'd
her mother, who caried her money in
the bodice of her dress.
During the intense hem of Sund '.y
afternoon Kberhard suggr'sred a trol
ley ride. Near Hackens"!- 'he ii""' -ew
suggested a walk in the woods
and all three, left the car. Toward
evening Kberhard claimed he lost his
way. a storm broke and the trio push
ed down the track until In a deafen
ing rrnsh of thunder the elder woman
stumbled.
"I have been struck by lightning,"
she screamed.
At the same Instant Miss Kebrhard
says she saw a flash coming evidently
from behind a car on the railroad sid
ing, then a second and a third. As
the mother fell the girl felt u bullet
graze her own neck, cutting a thin
gold chain. Suddenly Kberrhard
urged her to run and a second bulb t
plowed Into her shoulder. Turning
to see where her mother was. a third
bullet hit the bridge of her nose, the
blood and wound blinding her.
Through the darkness and slonn
the wounded girl plunged on until
sho reached h e.ittage. where she was
la-ken esre'of Ttntil the storm passed.
Then the police were notifb.d.
The body of Mrs. Kberhard was
fiund by an engineer, who notified
the police, and an examination show
ed that she had been shot twice and
was dead when the train struck her.
Kberjiard, the nephew, disappeared
In1 the darkness.

Washington, July 19. The Inter

action on the Increased freight rates
agreed tb at the meeting of the

the Southeastern Mississippi Valley
Association, at Louisville, Ky., yes
terday, when the new tariffs are
filed with the commission by the
roads having membership In these

taken by the commission on its own
initiative or on complaints of ship
pers or snippers associations. If the
I Interstate commerce commission
should rind that the increase In
freight rates was made through con

As the $12n,oi)0 appropriation for:
the University began to run during
the yeur 190", there Is now a balance
of about $75,000 in favor of the Uni
versity In the office 'of the slate
treasurer. This amount represents.
the difference between I ho old appro
priation of $47,fi00 per year and tho
new nppropr. alien of $125,000. This
fund will be considerably Increased
by Ihe time the new buildings are
completed, as not more than $9(,r
000 u year will be required for main,- ,
lenunce. it Is estimated that about 1
$150,000 will be spent for buildings
and permanent improvements by Sep-j
temper 1, 1909.
Owing to tho overcrowded condi
tion of the present buildings, It is
quite likely that another recitation
hull will be erected between Ueady
hall and the now library. . Other
buildings that are being talked of are
a large dormitory for women and an
addition to the engineering building.
Owing to the lateness or the season
and the time that will be required
for the drawing up of pJanB, It is un-.
likely that any work of importanco
will be commenced before spring.
This means that none of the new
buildings will be ready for UBe before
September 1, 1909. There are a
number of repairs and Improvements,
however, that will be made at once,
such as the furnishing of the wo
