When

■ “I come here to kill that man, as

J The first thing that Mitchell did

Ko send a telegram to O. V. Hurt,

George.”
SEARCHING FOR HIS 81STERS.
| Mitchell said he had come to Seattle
rfrorn Portland last Wednesday, and
'bad learned that Creffield and bis wife

were living in this city.
Hie two
sisters, Mrs. Burgess Starr and Miss
Ester Mitchell, have been missing
for some time, and be concluded
that Creffield bad influenced them to
follow him to this city.
It was on tbe mission of looking for
his sisters that Mitchell came to Seat­
tle.
He was on tbe street early this
morning.
He was walking up First
avenue when be saw Creffield and his
wife going down the street.
For tbe last week tbe Creffields have
been living in an attic room, two
chairs, a small table and a camp cot
comprised all their furniture.
Tbeir clothing consisted of what
they bad on tbeir backs.
Mrs.
Creffield wore a tattered waist and a
skirt with equally bad shoos.
PROMISED A NEW SKIRT.
She and her husband had arisen
earlier than usual this morning, for
Creffield has promised to buy her a
new skirt, and they wanted to reach
one of th» down town stores before
the morning rush.
The woman says
neither she nor her husband knew
Mitchell wus in tbe city.
She said
she bad hoard In Corvallis that
Mitchell was locking for bet hueband.
“I killed Creffield,” said young
Mitobell, becaii«e 1 believed it was
right for me to do so.
I shall take
the coneequencce. whatever they may
be.
‘ Crefflold influenced toy sintere,
Mia. Strrr and Ester Mil «bell, until
they joined his Holy Roller crowd at
C irvallis.
.
“Ifo had them nnder a epell, and I
could do nothing with them. 1 beg­
ged them to quit the sbaruefnl life
that was being led by tbe Rollers,
but they would not heed me.
SWORN TO BE REVENGED.
"But that is not all.
Thia brute
who declared . he
was
appointed
Joshua’ by God. betrayed both these
\irls. I swore that I would be aveng-
id and my time came this morning.
“1 am sorry, of course, that 1 bare
leen compelled to take a man s life.
bat there is no man among you who
can appreciate my feelings.
“No brother could Jove bis sisters
more than I. To have a maj of the
stripe of Creffield take them away
from me and ruin their lives UUdHI
tbe guise of frenzied religion was too
muob to bear.
"Tbe more I thoubt of it tbe more
angry I became, and resolved at the
first opportunity to meet Creffield
and secure my revenge. It was will­
ed that I sboud meet him today, and
Creffield suffered tbe eud that he was
eutitled to.”
Creffield was released last December
from the penitentiary, in Salem, Or.,
where he bad served two years upon
bis conviction on a criminal charge,
which connected him with Mrs. B. E.
Starr of Portland, and wbiob was
preferred by the woman's busband.
WIFE A FIRM BELIEVER.
Mrs. Starr bad left her family to go
with Creffield, and was a firm believer
in bis peculiar doctrine. She waB a
sister of young Mitchell, who killed
Crefield yesterday. The second sister,
Ester, who is only 18 years of age,
was living in Seattle with Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Hurst, up to two months
ago.
Creffield was divorced from bis wife
while he waB in the Oregon prison,
but was remarried to her in Seattle
on April 2 of the present year.
Justice George performed the cere­
mony. Creffied then persuaded his
wife and tbe members of the Hurt
family to accompany him to Ocean
View, Or., where he bad gathered
some of his old adherents, including
tbe two sisters of Mitchell, for tbe
purpose of taking up Government
land and starting a new settlement.
During the afternoon a telegram
was received by Mitchell from several
prominent citizens of Corvallis, offer­
ing tboir assistance to bim to the ex­
tent of tbeir resources tbat be might
te set free.
The postmortem examination was
held by Dr.
Bories tonight, and
allowed tbat Creffield met bis death
by a bulled tbat entered tbe back of
tbe neck, breaking tbe spinal cold at
tbe base of tbe brain and then rang­
ing through to tbe right jaw, wbicb
it shattered.
Mitchell was removed to tbe county
jail this afternocn by order of Proee-
cntlng Attorney Mackintosh.
Mrs.
Creffield was placed under tbe charge
of Mrs. Kelly, the police matron, to
te detained as a witness.
Tbere will be no inquest held by
tbe Coroner, as Mitchell acknowl­
edges tbat he killed Creffield, thus

Acceptance of Nomination.
As the Democratic party in Yamhill
and Tillamook Counties at the primary
election have voluntarily tendered me
the nomination of their ticket for the
office of Joint Representative in the
Legislature, from the 14th District, with­
out solicitation upon my part, and in
fact without my knowledge in advance
of their intention so to do, I deem it
my duty to accept it, and make the race
for the position, and in accepting such
nomination, to state biiefly some of the
principles I adhere to, so that those who
wish to favor me with their votes in
June, may know before hand what to
expect of me in event of my election.
First.—I adhere firmly to, and pledge
myself to support the statement know
as “ Statement No. 1,” which is in
effect that I will support the people's
choice for United States Senator, with.
out regard to my personal preferences,
or his political affiliation.
Second.—I am opposed to grafts of all
kinds, believing in equal rights to all
and special privileges to none, and am
especially opposed to the custom of
grouping appropriations of public funds
for different purposes, into one appro,
priation bill, thereby forcing the people
to support a weak proposition with a
strong one.
Third.—I believe the quickest, cheapest
and easiest wav to develope the whole
country, is bv building and maintaining
good permanent highways, and if
elected will favor such laws as will in
mv judgment facilitate the opening and •
permanent improvement of our roads
with less expense and less “ red tape.”
Fourth.—I believe in the taxation of
franchises and the gross earnings of cor
porations, as a means ot reducing the
burdens of taxation to the producer and
the laboring classes.
Fifth.—While running for the office, I
am running on the democratic ticket,
yet if elected I will not favor the passage
of anv measure that I do not believe will
benefit the whole people, as I believe the
representative is no greater than the
people he represents. I am a citizen first,
a democrat afterwards.
Very respectfully yonrs.

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.
IIow frequently does a head line simi­
lar to the above greet us in the news­
papers. The rush, push and strenuous­
ness of tbe American people has a strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir­
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations and other dlstrui»
Ing symptoms.
Three of tho prominent Ing.-odlents of
whi<?h Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis­
covery Is made are recommended by some
of the leading writers on Moteria Metflca
for the cure of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance. Is said by the
U mitbi » S txtis D isi ' knsatoky , a stand­
ard authority, -to Impart tone and In­
creased power to the heart's action."
Numerous other leading authorities rep­
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system it. general,
end as the heart is almost wholly com­
posed ot muscular tissue. It naturally
follows that It must be greatly strength­
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most important Ingredient
of • Gold en Medical Discovery," so far
at it* marvelous cures of valvular and
other affections of the heart a»e con*

Can.,
Prof. Wm. Paine, author of Paine’s
Epilomy of Medicine, says of it:
• L not long since, had a patient who wa«
ao much oppressed with valvular disease of
the heart tbat his friends were obliged to
carry him up-stair». He. however, gradually
recovered under tbe influence of CoHinsuoin
(medicinal principle extracted from Stone
root), and is now attendirx to his business.
Heretofore physicians knew of no reraedy
for the removal of so distress!nr and so dan­
gerous a rn al adv With them it was all

Htone root ia also recommended by Dr«.
Hale and El I in# wood, of Chicago, for

Esteemed Friend :
TOOK A C1RUCLAR ROUTE.
The people in that section, however,
soon found out who tbeir new neigh­
bors were to be and made things so
unpleasant that Creffield left, and,
instead of coming through Corvallis,
wbiob would have been tbe ordinary
route by train, be drove for many
miles up a cirouituous route, in order
that no one might know that be was
in the country.
Mrs. Creffield alleges that during
tbe week that her husband was at
Ocean View was the only time that be
was near tbe young Mitobeil girl, and
that be was well behaved during that
time. Last Wednesday Mrs. Creffield
started to Ibis city, and while at
Albany, where sbe bad to lay over
for several hours to wait tor a train,
sbe says that tbe police of that city
informed her that some one was
shadowing her. Sbe saw tbe man and
recognized him as young Mitchell.
After tbat, she bad not eeen bim till
this morning, when tbe shooting oc­
curred.
WARNED AWAY FROM COR­
VALLIS.
A. J. Johnson, Mayor of Corvallis,
who is also a National bank inspector,
was in Seattle today, and made tbe
following statement:
"Creffield never dared to come back
to Coivallis after his release from tbe
Salem penitentiary.
He had been
treated to a coat of tar and feathers
while in tbe city and warned tbat If be
ever showed bis face there tbat he
would be phot down like a dog.
Mitchell was not tbe only man looking
for bim on account of his conduct.
"Tbe outrages tbat have been com­
mitted by tbe Holy Roller in Corvallis
and in the vicinity of Oregon City
have been too numerous to mention.
They have broken up dozens of famil­
ies with tbeir doctrines of free love.
In tbe case of the Hurt family there
was only one member of tbe entire
