OF the Northern Pacific land department,
wrote a letter TO Mr.. Nodine. as mayor
OF Ocosta, asking whether or not 1t was
true that the ely was about to bring legal
proceedings TO cancel the sale Of the

Northern Pacific had defaulted on It's
taxes for the year, and had sold the
wharf to the city to pay its taxes, MIR.

would have been no Ocosta, ana also TOOK

San Francisco, June 5.-The Evening
Post states tssat the entire detective force
OF this city is convinced thai ex-senator
L. W. Buck stuck the blows that killed
Miss Nellie Harrington IN her nat last
Saturday. Buck died yesterday from me

thrown from a cart while being driven by
a policeman 20 the Office o. the CHIEF or
police. The local chief Of detectives said
today: II don't want TO talk about this
murder, because hate TO fight dead
men,
The conclusions OF the police are said
TO be based on the contents OF 80 private
letters found IN Miss Harrington room,
which are said TO indicate between the
murdered woman and Buck even greater
intimacy than appears on the SURFACE.
On the back OF Bucks photograph Mass
Harrington had left written request
that Il be destroyed at her death.
The abb OF Buck. as stated by his fam
lily, Is not borne out by police illveSt.ga-
ton. Detectives state that instead OF re-
manning N his Oakland residence from
the time OF the arrival OF the Marysv-lls
tram at 1i:9 until l:3o. as stated oy as
son, Senator Buck actually lett home
few minutes after noon. An Oakland
resident named Chamberlain came across
