WAS 1T MURDER !?
A Sailors Strange Death
at Howard Wharf.
A Very Peculiar Method of In
veStigation Which Has Gre.
ated Confusion.

On Monday afternoon Frank Jones. a
seaman on the British ship Dobarden
Castle. was arrested and taken 10 the
South Harbor police station on the CON-
plant of Olaf johnson, who charged that
he had struck q seaman named Thomas OF
the British ship Peleus a blow which
caused the latter to fall from the compan-
ion-ladder of the Dolbarden Castle to the
wharf, where he struck and bounded oh
into the bay. sinking from sight.
Although the trouble between the sailors
occurred at o'clock on Monday morning
young Thomas blood still stained the
planking of Howard pier l, and gave evi-
dence Of where the sailor had first struck
after falling from the side of the ship.
Detectives were at work on the case all
yesterday, and Jones was during the time
or their investigation and is still confined
in the tanks at the old City hall, where he
is said by the officers on duty to be held as
witness"
Jones is not wanted as witness. but Is
the principal in the case, and will be
charged with murder. The complaining
witness, Johnson. states that his comrade
was thrown headloDg from the gangway.
and that the losing of his life was due to a
blow struck him by Jones, which caused
bin to fall as stated.
The men on board the DOlbarGen Castle
were very reticent. but it was learned
from other sources that all the trouble oc-

Thomas of stealing.
Thomas and his shipmate, johnson,
went on board the DOlbarden Castle about
O'Clock Monday morning. 1t is rumOred
that they had been drinking and had tried
to induce Jones TO come ashore with them
and get glass of beer. This Jones re-

railing when Jones grasped him by the
leg Of the psntaloons, holding tightly to it.
The missing 10 cents was N mentioned by
the prisoner several times, mingled with
curses.
Thomas turned to get away, isrked his
tronsers out of Jones' grip. and started to
climb down TO the wharf.
As he turned his head his assailant
kicked him in the side of the neck, and
with groan he plunged headlocg to the
wharf. striking the stringer, from which
he rolled off into the bay.
A fender-pile about IS inches in diameter
lay between the DOlbarden Castle and the
wharf pillng. The young sailor must have
hit this before striking the water, where
he sank from view Instantly.

A dispatch from Klamath Falls,

A dispatch from Klamath Falls,
of date July 9th says: "W. e.
Howe, ex-county treasurer, was ar
rested Saturday night charged with
violating the law providing for the
redemption of county warrants
when more than $500 is on hand.
The arrest grew out of the big fire
of last Monday, when, according to
Howe, $3.50 in greenbacks, be-
longing to the county, was burned
in his store, where the fire origin
ated. The circumstances of the
fire were peculiar, and do not all
tend to relieve Howe of suspicion.
His bondsmen, being responsible,
caused Howe's arrest, and today
he was held to appear to await the
action of the grand jury. Other
information will be filed against
him immediately"

The harvest is about upon US,
and many a farmer is hustling for
machine extras and to have head
ers or other harvesting machinery
put in order. AS extras are just
now something almost impossible
to get, there is considerable annoy
ance and worry. The condition
shows two things: First, lack OF
energy on the part ofthe wholesale
implement dealer in Portland, to
whom the retailers look for sup
plies; and second, the greatest
carelessness on the part of the
farmer, who, when through har-
vesting last year, left his machin-
cry exposed to the weather and to
damage, or put it away in a dam
aged condition The care Of farm
machinery is one of the most inn
portant things on the farm, and on
this alone success often hinges. 1t
is useless, Of course, to preach on
this subject now, because the con-
ditions cannot be changed for this
season, and by next springer for
that matter, by the time harvest is
over-the lesson we have just had
will have been forgotten. Itwould
not be all evil if by the present con-
ditions farmers could all be taught
to take care of the farm machinery,
and that the best time to put it in
running order is in the fall be-
fore it is put away for the winter.
Then it can be brought out and
used when the time comes without
two or three days delay and a trip
to the blacksmith shop.

The reports from the gold fields
of South Africa are most fiattering
Millions of dollars worth of gold
are being taken out every month,
and the prospects are quite favor
able that the output will be greater
than it was from California or Aus
tralia in their palmiest days. If
expectations are reached, America
will, indirectly, derive as great ben
eft as any section Of the globe. 1t
will for time check the flow of
our gold to Europe, and will thus
afford temporary relief. But the
greatest benefit we will derive will
be in the diverting of immigration.
For many years past the United
States has been the most inviting
country on earth, not only to the
laborer seeking employment but to
the criminal fleeing from justice,
and as result the country has
filed up with both laborers, who
are compelled by force of circum-
stances to work for whatever wages
are offered and thus compete with
our laborers, and with all manner
of criminals, who have come here
for refuge. But the opening Of rich
mines in Sesth Africa, together
with the development of a new
country rich in agricultural re-
sources, will attract thither the un-
employed of the world, as well as
those who seek to lose themselves
t9 the world in order to escape pun
