BUNKO" KELLY CONFESSES.
Explains the Part He Played in the
SayreS Murder.

SayreS murder.
PORTLAND. Or. Oct. 9.-"Bunko" Kelly
has made full confession to the part he
played in the murder of George w. Sayres,
whose body was found floating In the
river between Airsworth and Mersey
docks last Friday morning. Chief Of Pc
lice Mimic declines to reveal the nature of
the confession beyond that it esta blishes
his theory of the crime. 1t is claimed that
every one connected with the murder is
now under arrest or close surveillance.
One and probably two more arrests will
be made.
The charge of murder against Robert
Garthorne, who was held as an accomplice
in the murder of Sayres. has been with.
drawn, but he is still held as q witness.
Bunko Kelly's alleged confession consisted
in an attempt to fasten the crime on Gar
thorne.
Kelly's statements were very conflicting
aud his story is given no credence. Chief
Mimic believes that Kelly is the guilty
man, but he still refuses to disclose the
evidence against Kelly.
X. n. Sleeves. the attorney arrested
yesterday, will have his examination to-
morrow.

cracy this evening nominated the choice
of the committee of seventy. Colonel

for Recorder and Henry r. Beekman Tor
Justice of the Superior Court.
The delegates were addressed by ex-
Secretary Farchild, who urged the nomi-
nation of Strong and the defeat of Tam
many Hall. His speech provoked storm
of Kisses. Finally an effort was made to
stampede the convention for ex-Mayor
Grace. Mr.. Grace stated that he would
not accept because of i'll health. He then
pleaded with the delegates to vote for
Strong. So earnest were his words that
the delegates decided to accept the candi-
date that the committee of seventy and the
Republican party had chosen. The dele
gates. however, had their revenge few
minutes later when Otto Kempner was
named for Sheriff. He had been the
choice Of The committee of seventy. but by

overheard and nominated E. j. Tamssen.

present exists. The meeting was well
attended and was presided over by W. j.

The first resolution of the evening was
introduced by Everett Green and embodied
the following: "The Democratic party
has seen fit to abuse the methods of the
old party and has introduced a system Of
blackmail. These methods are not Demo-
cratic methods. AS Democrats we intro
duce these resolutions to repudiate David
B. Hill and the Saratoga platform, and
we request all good Democrats not to
vote for him."
ResoIUed, That the Brooklyn Democratic
Club halls with delight the nomination OF an
independent ticket and that this club asks
all good Democrats TO refuse to submit to The
dictation of this bossism.
A number of addresses followed the
presentation of this resolution. They in
dorsed the sentiment contained therein as
it was adopted. A second resolution
adopted was one for the appoin ;ment of a
committee 10 confer with other Democrats

that has been in the gulf for some days
struck this section on Saturday night. 1t
increased in force as morning approached.

fury. Falling roofs made it dangerous
to appear on the streets and business was
practically suspended. Several barks
dragged their anchors and either went
ashore or were capsized. A wharf was
swept away and the supply house was
swamped and sunk.
In the city much damage was done to
fences, trees and small outhouses. part
of the roof was torn off The opera-house, and
the entire roof of the large Blount g. Wat
son building was carried away and the

Baptist Church was blown down. SO far
as learned no one was killed. The storm
ceased at midnight.

with the result that one miner IS dead and
ten are severely burned. two probably
fatally.
The explosion occurred at an hour when
the second shift changed for the tnlrd

dead:

At the time of the accident 127 men were
at work on this level, which is the only
one being worked at present, and had it
occurred little earlier in the day 1t would
have caught the miners in the adjoining
breasts, and the loss of life would have
probably equaled that at the Franklin

son, is badly burned, and he has ever since
been in an unconscious condition and I'm.
able to tell anything concerning how the

THE PRATT WILL CONTEST.
DR.. Surnam Tangled Up by Senator
White


Los ANGELES. Oct. 9.-The Pratt will
contest got under way again this after
noon, after a rest of few days.
When the case was continued last week
DR.. James Surnam of Portland, an old
friend of Mrs. Annie a. Pratt, was on the
witness stand. he was one of the wit
nesses to the will before Inc court for pro-
bate, and testified that Mrs. Pratt was of
sound mind in 1893, when the contestants
claim her mind was uusound.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Surnam was
cross-examined by Senator White and be
was considerably tangled up before The
long examination ended.
In the first place he was questioned
about his statements on direct examination
concerning Mrs. Pratt, and reiterated that
in his opinion she was amply able to
transact business in January and Febru-
airy, 1893, when he saw her at the house of
General Mansfield in this city.
White then produced a written state
ment of twenty-0ne pages which has been
taken down in Por land by Attorney Han
Ion. The statement consisted of his re-
plies to questions by Mr.. Hanlon, and in
it occurred the statement that Mrs. Pratt
was not able to transact business in Janu-
ary and February. 1893.
These contradictory statements DR..
Surnam explained by saying that he re-
ferred more to her physical than to her
mental condition in his statement.
General Mansfield testified that in 1886
Mrs. Pratt delivered to him a paper with
the remark that it was her will, and re-
quested him to keep it. and in the event of
her deeth to "put it in court"
Mansfield said that he put the document
in his safe which was Endorsed on the out
side May, 1885. This Will is the one pre-
sented to the court, which was opened by
Judge Clark and handed to the clerk TO
