After being surrounded in tho woods
between tbo Willametto river and the
railroad tracks at this placo this room

derbrush to bring him out. Draper, ac
companied by the dogs, went into tho
timber and Smith was discovered be
hind a log. Ho mado a despcrato at

him, shooting him through tho neck
and killing him instantly.
Smith boro no wounds, showing con
clusively that ho bad not been wound

perado, who made a sensational cseape
from the city jail at Portland, and since
his night last week has killed threo offi
cers, mado his last stand.
After murdering Policeman Hanlen
at Oregon City, Smith was next loeatcd
near Woodburn by Sheriff Shaver of
Olaekamas and Captain 0. D. Hender
son of Woodburn, whom he mortally
woumled, hoik dying at Salem a few
hours later. .A..
The banditMcn disappeared as com
pletely as ifHlio earth had opened up
and enfolded him. Many rumors were
prcvalont of tho murderer being seen
during the last few days in various
parts of the district where he was be
ing hunted, but nothing definito could
be found until this morning, when,
weary and worn with his long flight,
he was driven into the brush.
The gray cap, slightly torn in one
seam, which was stolen from the Canby
postofilee. and which Smith were, Droved
his undoing. The stolen cap belonged
to Willie Stuniger, who lives near New
Era.
Willie was pumping water for the
cows this morning when he saw a man
pass along the road wearing his own
cap. Willie recognized the cap at once
and gave the alarm.
This positive identification brought
out the posses in force, and 200 armed
men with degs were presently hunting
down the fugitive.
Smith stopped to talk to Flagman
Archibald on tbo Southern Pacific
tracks. Whllo they were in conversa
tion one of tbo numerous armed parties
that has been scouring the country ap
peared down tho road.
"Well, I must take to the woods,"
said Smith. With that he dashed into
tbo brush.
He was surrounded between the rail
way tracks and the Willametto river,
half a milo below New Era.
PIBE TANIO IN BW HOSPITAL.
Blaring Laundry Causes Patients to
rieo Half-Clad.
San Francisco, May 4. The 700 pn
tlents in tho genernl hospital nt tho Pre
sidio were thrown into n panic at -I -.1(1
o'clock this niorulng by tho cry of
"fire."
At that moment tlninos wore discov
ered in tho hospital laundry, which was
only a few yards nvtny. Tho oloso prox
imity of tho two buildings gnve rise to
tho fear that tho hospital would bo
destroyed.
In anticipation of such a contingency
hurried arrangements wero made for
tho removal of tho patients to n placo
of safety.
For n few minute.", until the fire in
tho laundry was cotton under control
and there was no dnncor of tho tlninos
spreading beyond that building, paude
monlum reigned among tho hundreds
of patients.
Those who wero not dangerously HI, or
could help themselves, jumped from
their cots and beds, and, hastily don
ning what clothes they could find, tied
from tho hospital out into tho cool
morning air.
Many of tho indisposed men nnd
women did not wait to sccuro th,olr
clothe, but wrapped themselves In bed
ding nnd mado their oxit as quickly as
possible.
In moro than ono instance men nnd
women tied out into the air with noth
ing but their niiibt clothes. Scores of
patients who had tho physical strength
stopped sufficiently long to nsslst more
weak nnd unstrung men and women
from tho hospital.
within 10 minute after tho alarm
was given tho majority of the patients
had left the hospital building nnd stood
in groups or lay upon the ground upon
bed clothes, watching tho firemen and
soldiers fight the flatnes in the laundry.
When th flames had been extin
guished the nurses, physicians and sol
diers turned their attention to the patient-refugees,
and assisted in taking
thorn back to their cots ami beds in
private rooms and wards.
Men and women beame hysterical
during the progress of the fire, and it
was with difficulty that many of them
could be indue. I to return to the hos
pital. It is feared that the shock to
many of the more seriously sick pot teats
will have a serious if not fatal effect.
When the fire was discovered In the
hospital a general alarm was sounded.
Besides the regular post fire defmrtment
hundreds of soldiers turned out to fight
the flames. It was only by bard work
that tho flames were 'confined to tho
laundry, which, with its contents, was
entirely destroyed, and prevented from
spreading to tho general hospital.
Tbe origin of tho bra is unknown.

Bed Cross Sends $300,000, and Has
Another 91,000,000.
Washington, May 1. Three hundred
thousand dollars were forwarded by
wiro by the American Bed Cress to
day to James D. Pbslan, chairman of
the Bed Cross and relief oommitteo in
San Franelseo, and bo was advised that
$1,100,000 moro is at the disposal of the
committee.
Judge W. W. Morrow, president of the
California braneb of the Bed Crest, ad
vised the Bed Cross today that it will
be better from this time on for the so
ciety to send money to California rath
er than food and provisions, as tbe im
mediate needs are provided for.
Dr. Bdward T. Dcvine, special repre
sentative of the Bed Cross at San Fran
elseo, made tho following report today
on supplies seat to earthquake sufferers:
"I have tabulation from Quartermas
ter Devel of supplies reported to have
been received up to April SS and of
supplies en route or ordered. It shows
on the whole remarkable discrimina
tion ami intelligent purchases; Sup
plies received:
"live carloads of stoves, 1,850 stove

tona and 25 carloads of tentage, two

plies, two carloads of acid and chemi
cals, seven carloads of wood, 241 cars
and four steamerloads of subsistence
stores, 1,570 tons of flour, five cars of
fresh meats, 185 ears of miscellaneous
stores, one ear of oranges, fivo cars
of clothing, two cars of salt, camp out

Two Slight Shocks Causa No Alarm.
San Francisco, May 1. Two slight
earthquake sbqeks at an interval of an
hour were felt here early this morn
lug. They were of tho same nature as
n dozen other shocks that have been
felt since the big quake of April 18.
No damage, was done this morning, and
there was no alarm.
Companies Will Be Generous, but Not
Exceed Legal Liability.
New York, May -I. Tbo Tribune to
day says:
Beprescntatives of both foreign and
American fire insurance companies, who
were in tbe city yesterday, dlneossed ae
ttoa to effect a compromise in the ad
justracat of losses by the San Franelseo
nre.
The great companies express a strong
panose to bo not only just, but gener
ous in eases of doubt, but one insurance
president said:
"The adjusters for this eompany will
not be allowed to waive the conditions
of its policies, nor the conditions and
restrictions of its charters. We have
no more right to pay a loss occasioned
by earthquake than we have to pay a
loss of life. We are not an earthquake
insurance eompany, nor a life insurance
com jinny."
Insurance men estimate that the com-
jMiaios will ultimately pay from 00 to
75 por eeat of tho aggregate amount of
tbe risk.
Tbe message from London insurance
eompoaictf to adjusters in Oakland, pub
lished this morning, should have road:
"Under any circumstances, tho Brit
ish offices will only pay tbe losses for
which they are legally liable, sinee to
go boyosMl their eoatraets would be II

"They cannot recognise any liability

fallen or partly fallen buildings, nor
for damage to buildlai; nulled dawn or

authorities.1'
Acroago North and Bouth of Bend Com-
lug Under Cultivation.
Bend Much now land is being cul
tivated near Do ml. North lies what la
known as tho Powell ltuttcs district,
ono of tho best agricultural sections in
tho Deschutes valley, extending from
tho eastern extremity of tho buttos to
tho old channel of tho river, eight miles.
It Is onq. immenso plowed field, broken
in only n few places. This nrcn is be
ing increased rapidly, and In a short
tlmo all tlllnblo land lu tho district
will bo producing. Three years ago
thero were, only n couple of houses bo
twecn Bend and Prihevillo. Fences nnd
other styns of habitation wcro equally
scarce.
Another district rapidly developing Is
that under the Arnold ditch, fivo to six
miles south of Bond. Settlers hero nro
putting up substantial houses that would
bo a credit to any city; they nro not
small shacks ns so many dwelling houses
aro in n now country, but in many in
stances nro two stories and well paint
ed. Much now land is being seeded In
this district. Fences nro being built,
now permanent roads mado to run on
section lines. Less than two years ago
one could go south from Bend fifty to
sixty miles, nnd in that distance find
scarcely a houso; now, within seven
miles of Bend, along what is known ns
the Ico Cnvo road, there are thirty
houses, with much land in crops each
year.

come is about $800, this will provide
for three students annually. The fund
will be non-sectartan, and benefits aro
to be secured by competitive examina
tion. A standard of 85 per cent In
scholarship must bo maintained. Bo-
port of expenditures will be given to
tbe society each year.

From reports received by Mr. Bam
say from federal Inspectors, county
stock luspectors nnd sheepmen thrin

aro worse than last year. Consequently
bo says quarantine regulations cannot

Wells Are Spouting Water.
Arlington Wells bored for oil pros
pects two years ago, In which water
camo to the surfaco level, havo become
active artesian gushers since the hour
of the destruetlvo earthquake in Cali
fornia. These wells are located at Car
ley, Wash., a few miles northeast of
Arlington, and bad been sunk by pros
pectors in tbo hope of scouring a flow
of crude petroleum. Bcsults wero not
up to the anticipations of those who
planned tbo exploitation, and tbe en
terprise was abandoned. Water from
tbe principal well is being thrown ten
feet into the air, and tho flow has been
continuous and even in volumo sinco
tbe earthquake in San Franelseo.
Heavy Loss in Sin Mateo County.
San Mateo, Cal., May 4. Tbe lossac
in San Mateo County resulting from
tbe recent earthquake can never be even
approximately estimated. Practically
every building in the eounty stfTered
some damage in chimneys, plaster,
broken furniture or crockery. Here, as
elsewhere, brick and stone buildings
suffered tbe most. The loss of life was
small. In Half-Moon Bay a painter and
two children were killed in tho collapse
of an old adobe building. Tho heaviest
losses were in Bedwood City, where the
new $150,000 courthouse was almost to
tally destroyed.
China Hates to Admit Fact.
London, May 4. A dispatch from
Pekin to the 'Times today says that
tbe only thing delaying the settlement
of tbo French claims growing out of
the Nanehang outrage of last February
is China's reluctance to imue an im
perial edict admitting that tbo niagis
trate committed suicide.

Washington, May 4 President Boose
velt today signed the bills passed by
congress making appropriations of
$100,000 for Mare Island navy-yard and
$70,000 to meet emergencies in tbe post
office department in California.
Substitute Fills for Bridges.
Albany Fills aro taking tho place of
bridges in Linn county wherever tho
ehange is practicable. In a great many
plaoes this ehange has been mado. In
two Instances fills 360 feet leng wero
made. Bridges aro short-lived in this
climate, nnd a constant source of ax
nense to the county. Permanent fills
cost but little more than n new bridge,
which will stand but n few seasons.
Tho county court has ordered road su-
ervlsors to supplant all wsrnout
iridge with fills where material is
available. In all oases wboro thcro
are long approaches to bridges, stand
ing only n short distanao above the
ground, fills aro ordered.
Plan Union High Schools.
Albany To securo high school facil
ities in rural communities, different
school districts In Llun county are
planning union high schools nt central
point. In Jordan Valley five districts
will join next fall, nnd besides main
taining separate schools of eight grades
will establish one high school for all
pupils who have completed oighth-grade
work. Under present conditions rural
districts must send children to ono of
the larger towns fur high school train
ing. If tho experiment nt Jordan Vol
Icy proves successful, the plan will bo
followed in other jwrts of the eounty.
Bigger Demand for Oregon Sugar.
I .a Orande One of the immediate ef
fects of the San Franelseo disaster on
La (Irande Is an increased demand for
tho product of the local sugar factory.
During tho past week the factory 1ms
sent out seventeen carloads of sugar to
points that have heretofore dojieuded
largely on San Francisco for their sup
ply. While tho factory has been supply
ing places eastward as far as Bolso and
shipping westward to Pendleton and
Walla Walla, no such extensive ship
ments havo boforo been made at this
time of the year.
