as an Oregon volunteer in the

steads In j Wasco county and lived on
adjoining claims for about a year.
Then Mrs Nesbett, - mother of Alma
Jfesbett, came out from the East. The
two came to Portland and took up
their residence in the city for a while,r
Finally both returned to the home
steads. ' y . , - . . . - ' "
One dark, stormy n'ght In March of'
1900 Williams engaged a rig at Hood
River fori the purpose of driving- Mrs.
.Nesbett and her daughter to their
homesteads, about twenty miles from
ton. The trio 1 disappeared In the
dask with as little evidence of the
ysteriotis senuence to the ride as the
circumstances attending the famous
-ide of Dr. Patrick Henry" Cronin, vic
tim of the celebrated Chicago murder.
That was the last ever seen of them.
Williams returned,' but of the two wo
men who' rode away with him in the
wfl4 -night no one has seen or heard
the slightest thing to indicate what
their fate may have been. That they
were murdered there is in the minds
of the officers who have worked on the
case no room for doubt, and that their
murder, was deliberately - planned by
Williams to gain possession of . the
homestead "adjoining his own is their
theory. The daughter, if she was mur
dered, was murdered f or her property
the officers think, and the mother to
cover upj the plot of forging : the re
linquishment to the homestead.
The case attracted much attention
locally. Searching parties were organ
command of the company over to
First Lieutenant C. W. Wallace, pend
ing the acceptance of the resignation.
The news of his resignation will be
received with great regret by the mem
bers of Company, O, as Captain Stell
macher was yery" pCpular as -well as
efficient commander. There has been
some trouble of a partisan nature in
the company, recently and . although he
was supported by the great majority
Of the local militiamen. Captain Stell
macher thought there would be more
harmony with perhaps a better com
pany If he should retire from the ser
vice. J ..j '
Captain Stellmacher enlisted, in old
Company F, Second Regiment. O. N.
O., in 1833. He served as private, cor
poral and sergeant in Company F, and
when the 'Spanish-American 'war broke
out he enlisted In the Second Oregon
Volunteers, ; serving throughout t the
war as. . a sergeant in Company L
When Company Q was organized in
this city. April IV J900, Captain Stell
macher was elected first lieutenant and
was promoted to the captaincy by the
unanimous vote of the . company June

ized, -the county - was scoured, . but
never-a trace' of the missing women
came to light." Officers took the mat
ter In hand, attempted to work up the
case, but their " efforts, too, were un
successful.. A peculiar circumstance In
connection with ihe disappearance of
the women, as-far as can be learned.
Is that the fact of their probable mur
der never became known outside of -the
local community, but It has ever slrce
been regarded, as one of the mysteries
of the Hood River country, '
Williams is supposed to be in Canada
at this time, and an effort will be made
to effect his arrest; and return for
trial on the forgery charge. " If this Is
done, : the charge of 'murder probably
will be worked up against him in con
nection with it, under the jurisdiction
of the state courts )' :
, The fact of the forgery came to the
notice of the officers in the summer of
1900. when clerks in the Land Office at
The Dalles remarked on the dissimi
larity between the signature of Miss
Nesbett on the homestead application
and the one purporting to be hers on
the relinquishment-1 The matter was
turned over to a special agent of the
government located at Oregon City in
the spring of 1901. but no steps were
taken until the fall of that year. This
agent is said to have rendered a very
unsatisfactory report. This report is
said to have been verbal and superfi
cial.; It was then turned over to Spe
cial Agent E. B. Xdnnen; but before he
had been able to t accomplish much,
promotion and removal took him avray
The matter was then turned over " ; to
Inspector Greene, who placed it before
the grand jury.
A pitiable circumstance in connec
tion with the disappearance of Mrs.
Nesbett and her daughter is that their
relatives in Nebraska and Illinois
wrote to them repeatedly, but received
no answer, v Finally they despaired and
wrote to ; the , postmaster at Mount
Hood, who informed them of the dis
appearance and the circumstances at
tending it. ;

QUESTION IS
A HARD ONE
Who Has Power to Act as
Governor In His ,
Absence? :
HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDING'S
BROUGHT BY LEWIS DALTON
BRINGS UP .MANY QUESTIONS
OF INTEREST TO PUBLIC DUE
TO GOVERNOR'S ABSENCE -
... y. . N v ;;:--.r
"Who is the Govtrnor r of. Oregon,
since Governor Chamberlain is out of
the state, and who, if anybody, has the
power to act In his capacity during his
absence 'When the emergency arises?
Such will probably be the perplexing
question with which, the Multnomah
county Circuit Court'will be confronted
in case the habeas corpus proceedings,
which were instituted in the Circuit
Court for that county by Lewis Dalton
to prevent the issuance of extradition
papers for his return to California,
are sustained by the court today. .
There Is no knowing what the court
will decide in the case, neither does it
have any bearing upon the question,
only in that, if the court sustains the
habeas corpus proceedings and dis
misses me prisoner it may De put to, a
test straight away, but, on the other
hand, if the proceedings are dismissed,
the question still remains and will have
to be decided at some future dat,e. . (
On Saturday, of last week P. R. Veal,
agent for the state of California, ap
peared in the Governor's office with
requisition papers from Governor Par
dee,! of California, demanding extradi
tion papers for the . return of Lewis
Dalton, who was held by , the Portland
authorities and was wanted in Marti
na, California, to answer to the
charge of seduction under the promise
of tnarriage. Upon the request of W.
T. Hume, counsel for the defendant,
action upon the matter was stayed
until he could be heard and show w hy
extradition papers , should not issue.
Upon" Monday, however, a warrant
was issued from the Governor's office
and placed in the hands of Mr. Veal
and habeas corpus proceedings were
brought by Dal ton's counsel to Kecurg
his release, ostensibly upon the feround
that one con Id not bb extradited upon
the Information of a-district attorney,
but, when the case came up for hear
ing, the question of the legality of the
action of Governor Chamberlain, in
signing up ' some blank extradition
warrants before Toe, left for the East
and leaving them to be filled in and
IsHued .by-his private secretary, was
brought up a the primary issue in the
case, and this, as ."well as the other
question, w ill be decided by the court
today. , , . -. ; .
s. If. the-Circuit Court qt Multnomah
county, sustains, the. habeas corpus
proceedings and turns the prtaoner
loose, the state of .' California has al
ready frne to considerable expense in
locating Dalton and now that he is
within reach, it ii not probable that
he will be allowed to slip now and
the only way that this can be prevent
ed is to . secure another warrant, and.
If that already Issue,! from the Gover
nor? office1 cannpt be made to stick,
the. only course left for the agents to
pursue is to apply to the Secretary of
State." and there is ,wherethe .question
arises. If the Secretary of State issues
& warrant for Dalton's extradition the
legality of it will no doubt likewise be
attacked. :
The Constitution of the state of Cali
fornia provides, in this relation, that':
"In case of the impeachment of the
Governor,; or his removal from office,
death,, inability to discharge the pow
ers and duties of his office, resignation
or absence from the state, the powers
and duties of his office shall devolve
upon the Lieutenant Governor, eteV
but the- Constitution of Oregon states
that, in-case of the Governor's death,
resignation. Inability to discharge the
powers and, duties of the office, the
vacancy must be filled by. the, 'Secretary
of State, or. in case of the latter'a ab
sence, upon- the president of the Senate,-
but no, provision whatever ii
made for the Governor's absence from
thetate, and It would remain, for the
court to , decide v whether or . not the
Governor was able to act in his official
capacity while off upon a trip, to some
other state id the Union.;; ; - "
Officer Veal was in the city yesterday
upon business, i but at is not, known
whether or not he applied for, or se
cured a warrant from the Secretary of
State. f .- ' "

exhibit yesterday. Some of the nuts
are still in the burrs and others are
husked, and Mr. Dosch says hand
somer or better cannot be found any
where. They are not to be eaten raw,
like the little" sweet American chest
nuts, but either boiled or roasted, are
much jused in Germany, France. Spain
and Italy, and are highly . vsteemed.
They are practically the same as those
seen in places about the city, usually
called Italian chestnuts. None of the
nut-producing trees are native to Ore
gon, the only nuts found by. early Bet
tiers being the hazelnut and chinkapin.
Contrary to a very general opinion,
this state is well adapted to growing
most kinds of nut trees. Chestnut and
black walnut trees are common and
produce- well and there are several
nourishing orchards of English wal
nuts in Yamhill county. Pecans, but
ternuts, filberts and almonds do well
here and fine samples of all grown by
IL E. Dosch are to be seen at the per
manent exhibit. A few days ago a lot
of hickory nuts as large and fine as
are produced in Illinois were sent in
by a man who found a hickory tree
growing beside a street on the F-ast
Side. There is a large tree in the cen
ter, of the block on which Vincent
Cook has his residence, which has been
a source of wonderment to many. Sora-i
said it was-a sycamore and others an
ash. Mr. Cook did not know what it
was, but said It produced some kind
of nuts, but the boys always took care
of them. Of late he has kept a lookout
and a few. days ago found out that it
was an English walnut and had a good
many nuts on it. No one need be de
terred from planting nut trees- from
fear of the trouble of harvesting the
crop, for the street boys will attend to
that. Oregonlan. .
