Discovery of the Graves.
Trying to Commit Burglary.
A searching investigation was made
of the premises, resulting in the discovery
that the ground under an old chicken
house had been broken. Digging, the
searchers found the well defined walls of
a grave two feet wide by six feet long,
the ground giving evidence of having been
disturbed within a few months, At the
depth of seven feet several gunny sacks
were discovered clotted and thick with
blood, and two large bunches of human
hair, also blood-stained, one bunch gray
and the other black, answering the de
scription of the missing women’s hair.
A broken dish with hair clinging to the
edges was also in the grave. Nothing
further was found.
With these evidences of the crime he
feared, Mr. Nesbitt returned to Hood
River and swore out the complaint before
District Attorney Menetee. It is this the
ory that Williams, becoming alarmed
about the suspicions expressed concern
ing the Nesbitt’s whereabouts, and fear
ing that his premises might be searched,
moved the bodies within a year to anoth
er hiding-place.
S acramento , Feb. 8.—Frank Miller,
one of the eight uncaptured convicts
who escaped from Folsotn state prison
in the big break last July, has been ac
counted for. His body, shattered with
lead lies in an unmarked grave in Col
orado.
There is no doubt at Folsom prison
that the body is ;tnat of the escaped
convict. Miller was with Convict Mur
phy at the time the latter was captured
on the bridge over Truckee River at
Reno. Miller was too quick for the
deputy sheriffs and got away in the
darkness. He left no trace, and it has
always been supposed | that he made his
wav east.
About a month ago at Trinidad, Colo.,
two burglars were shot while in the act
of entering a store. The shot killed one
burglar.
The other was severely
wounded. The wounded burglar, who
is an ex-convict, said that his pal was
Miller, the escaped convict.
A Colorado detective was the first to
inform Warden Yell of Miller’s death.
Next he heard ot the same story through
prisoners in the Sacramento County
fail.
The police of Trinidad had photograps
taken of the dead burglar, and Warden
Yell secured copies of them. Miller when
he escaped from Folsom prison, wore a
light mustache. When he was killed he
had a heayy beard. Photographs were
taken with the beard on and after the
beard was shaved off.
Stabbed the City Marshal,
G rant ’ s P ass , Or., Feb. 8.—Ed Chiles
probably fatally stabbed Day Marshal
John Patrick today with a large butcher

Conscience.
TO THE EDITOR TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT.
It is the school of experience that de-
velopes the conscience.
It is just as reasonable to expect n boy
to learn to read by swinging a pair of
dumb bells, as to expect him to exercise
conscience by going to school.
The light of conscience was never
known until the Christian era began
There is but one remedy for a guilty
consciencr.and that is forgiveness, on the
terms of repentance.
The prison and asylum aremonumen’s
of disregard for conscience.
If God holds us accountable to any
thing. it is the conviction of conscience.
