In the nshes there were found evidences of straw. A straw stack stood near the house, and It is believed that Worley, after kill lug his bride, filled the house with straw nud cordwood and then set it ou fire. This theory is sustained by the evidences of a much greater degree of heat than the shack alone would have made. The sheet iron stove was melted and those who viewed the corpse of Mrs. Worley state that it looked ns though it hud laid In a log fire for 2.1 hours. The lire had destroyed till evidence that would indicate in what manner Worley had accomplished his fiend ish deed. """. There & grueral suspicion that Worley's letter docs not tell the full cause of the trouble, that it was his desire to cover up the de tails of his crime, and thus he net fire to the house after filling it with straw. Funeral services were held yes terday ut 2 o'clock, with Rev. I.ow lhcr officiating, and interment of the two bodies was made in the Redmond cemetery.

T. Whliller, of Portland. Work ou the dam In the Dcs chutes has not progressed fan enough to enable us to give much information crtaiuing thereto this week. I,. I). Wiest has been busy during the pust week with survey ing and will probably finish his work today. Ills notes will be for warded to Mr. Whbtlcr at Port land, who will examine them and select the locution of the dam. M. J. D.uiiclsou, who will have charge of the building of the dam, said to The Ilullctin that the dam would very probably lc built from a high rock oint north of the F. O. Minor cottage directly across the river. The formation on the west side of the river is Mich as to pro vide n natural channel for n .spill way, and the water would ".spill" around the west end of the dam canal would lc built ou the com side of the river, back some too or 150 feel, and would extend from the dam to about the location of the present pumping plant. There a new power plant could nc mint and a fall of 1.1 feet secured. This location would require n diun to feet high and would raise the water about eight feet. The dam will be what is known as n "lock fill" dam. While Mr. Dutiiclsou gave it ns his judgment that the dam would lie built nt this X)iut, yet he stated the final selection is in the hands of Mr. Whistler, ami no one can tell the exact locution until Mr. Whist ler examines the surveys.

FENCES AGAIN CUT IN EASTERN CROOK Several Allies of Barb Wire Arc Rendered Worthless. DEED DONE BY THREE MEN Three Unknown Criminals Destroy Five Miles of Fence Around Road Lands Near Post Other Items of fjencral Interest. Unknown parties in the neigh borhood of Post are preparing to get themselves into trouble. They are up to the same trick for which C. Sam Smith was convicted and sentenced to a term in the peniten tiary. Evidently they are stock men who object to fences. The Prinevillc Journal ays that a party of unknown men, 'presum ably three, judging from the tracks, cut and mutilated about two miles of fence surrounding some road land which was leased by George Wiley and John Pickett, and also about three miles of fence surround ing n section of road land leased by R Bootcn and son. The wire was cut, in some places, on each side of the post and again in the middle. In other places the wire was cut only in the middle. Five or six wire gates were cut up into small pieces and tossed aside. In some of the roughest country a short string of fence would not be cut, but in the main it was pretty badly cut up. This is only one of a series of depredations of a like nature which have been committed during the past few years upon honest and law-abiding citizens residing in that community No relief from these outrages has yet been found for a definite clew is hard lo find.

Redmond people have become disgusted with Harrlraau's dilatory tactics ana have lost all faith in his railroad promises. They held a meeting there recently to consider ways and means for getting a road into Central Oregon. As the mect iug was only preliminary no defi nite course was determined upon, but the following plan was outlined and looked upon with favor. It is proposed to build an electric road starting at The Dalles and running southward through Mad ras, and at some point branchiuc. one fork going to Princvllle and the other to Bend, with such other branches and extensions as should later prove feasible. Kirk Whited and Ben McCaffery were appointed a commltte to con fer with the people of other locali ties to secure united action. The committee suggests that a meeting of delegates and others be held at Prinevillc in the near future for the purpose of considering the whole railroad question as it bears on Central Oregon.
