" Ja Wednesday, a abort time after the south bouud passenger train pass ed through,. a man who was, walking aloug the- railroad track east .of the depot was seen to throw np his hand am fall heavily to the ground. As he did not rise, a number of uieu who witnessed tho -ocenrreuae ran quickly to the scene. The man lay uucon- Scloas' tljongh moaning faintly. . Ex amination showed that bis skull had been fractured aud the presumption of foul play was nntnraL. : 1 Me was rained to the city hall and piiyvicians were summoned. A type written letter found : in Ins poexet,r-cxplnined bis onfortuiite condition.. The paper stated that he was subject to fits aa a result of hav ing bis stanll-fractured by a ship mute while serving aa au apprentice cn board the British ship Castellan. His name is . given as Oritlith M. Mansfield, a native of Hawaii, and he is 31 years of ago. After a, time tho young man re covered consciousness, suilicicutly to talk, H said that he was trying io make hit way to San Francisco to take a snip from tliat place to Hawaii, whero his father owns a sugar planta tion. . A few days ago, ho was robbed at Woodhurn while unconscious from tono of hia strokes and was found hy tho officers of that town with his pockjts turned inside, cut.' He had made bis way on tho trains aa far as this city, nud beng enable to catch the train from bote had started to walk south ' when he was overtaken by one of his fainting shells. . Through tho efforts of J. H. Will, lams and others, who Interested them selves iu his case, a purse was made up to send tho tin fort una to niau as far on bis way as San Francesco. Once at that place, Mansfield says lie is ac quainted with a number of captains of vessels and will have no dillieul'y in getting home fiom there. CHAPINuRDElT REVIVED Officers Think Thov H&vc u. ' ' Clue to Murderer. A clue that is very strong and that may lead to the detection of the mnr dercr of Florence Chapin, a fiilliil woman, who was killed at her houro in the west part of Grauts Pass la-t July, was brought to light Mon day by A. McCaulley, while return ing from a hunting trip. At a place 150 yards distant from the Iioum) whero tho womuu was killed, Mr. MoCaulluy fouud lying on the ground a pair of pants, au uuderslnrt, a lit of drawers and a woman's handker chief. The pants were dark wool, of good quality and tailor made, the shirt cotton tloeee-lined aud the draw ers wool and their sue indicated the wearer to he a short, thick set man. Ou the right hip of the drawers aud 011 the right outf of the shirt, blood status were plainly visible and there were other stains, hut the garuiuuts had been exposed so long to the weather, that it was impossible to tell whether it was blood or not, ex cept by a microscopic examination. iiiere were no stains visible 011 the handkerchief and it had 110 marks of ideutiucatiou. Mr. MCaullvy turned tlie articles over to the authorises ami thev are using the evidence iu the effort to find the guilty man. Joseph Williams, a transient, was arrested soon after the murder, charged witli the crime, but at tho examination, the proof was not sufficient to hold him for trial ar.d he was discharged and soon disappeared.

Ho lias three acres to strawberries, his lead ing varieties being Wilson, Sharplem and Mngoue. He has secured plants and will gtvo a trial to the Joe, Ideal, Huby and Double Cropper, new varieties that have a flue reputation iu the Kast for pro 1 1 lioness and per feet flavor. Mr. Morrisou irrigates his strawberry land and so soou as he gets morn land rtady, he will enlarge his patch for be finds strawberries morn prolltiihio than any of the other smull fruits. Thu Grants l'ass market takes more strawberries than are grown in this locality and large ipuintities are sliipiwd In from Cali fornia and Oregon points. As straw berries can bu grown In Kogue Hiver Valley aa cheaply as In any other sno tiou of this Coast, the local growers have the added profit that Is afforded by the freight rates that the luijiorted berries bear in competition to the local berries. With tho great acreage of line strawberry laud in this Val ley, Grauts l'ass should not be com pelled to send large sums of money away each year for strawberries. Baptist Church Service.
