a Cutting Array.


DIR. DIETRICH, who arrived in town at
noon from Dufur, brings word of a
cutting affray which occurred at Wamic
yesterday afternoon. A courier arrived
at DIR. peitrich's residence last night
asking him to go to Wamic to attend
Tom Edmonsen, who had been seriously
and perhaps fatally stabbed by Ed
Stoey. For some time there has been
bad blood between the Stoey and Ed
munsen families, the cause being very
trivial one-it being Ealleged that one of
the Edmunsen family stole spool of
thread from the Stoeys. Yesterday
afternoon Ed Stoey came to Edmunsen's
house, about three miles from Wamic,
and after some conversation the stab
bing occurred. DIR. DIETRICH was unable
to go to Wamic, and DR.. Kane of Dufur
was summoned. The exact extent of
Edmunsen's injuries are not known, but
it is believed they are very serious. At
last accounts Stoey had not been ar
rested. Wamic is situated at the south
ern end of this county.

At the onu1ones yesterday.

large audience filled the Methodist
church last evening to listen to a Christ
mas sermon by the pastor, Rev. ]. H.
Wood. The speaker took his text from
the verse in which the announcement of
Christ's birth is made and preached
from it an able sermon, most appTopri-
ate to this season of the year. Mr..
Wood spoke of Christ in four different
roles-First, as a statesman, in which
capacity Christ taught lessons of politi-
cal prudence to the people of Palestine,
and showed his wonderful insight into
the civic institutions of the age; Christ
as reformer was the next subdivision /;
then as the greatest philanthropist of all
ages; and finally as the saviour of man
kind. The speaker spoke of Christmas
and the habit of gift-making at this
time. Presents, he said, were too often
given with the hope of receiving some-
thing in return. The rich receive what
they do not need. while the poor go un-
remembered. Remember the poor at
Christmas time was Mr.. Woods closing
thought.
AT THE CONGREGATIONAL.
Rev. W. C. Curtis was listened to by

theme was founded upon the story by
Edward Everett Hale entitled "In His
Name" Mr.. Curtis proceeded to give a
resume of the story which told of the
Poor men of Lyons" and the deeds
which were done for the love Of Christ.
The central idea gathered from the story
and which the speaker enlarged upon
and eiucidated was the dependence of
one person on another and the utter
helplessness of selfish life. The SER
mon was a most spiritual one, and lis
tened to with deep attention by the
hearers. The singing by the choir both
morning and evening was of high
order

peared.
In an apartment house. on O'Farrell

days, the landlady says. and during that

There is nothing-absolutely moth

They say that Detective Anthony
says he has about concluded that she has
eloped with some man. He should not
say this; he has no right to say it, for
he has no evidence that points to that
direction. Suppose he says this on gen.
eral principles. because San Francisco
girls who disappear are usually found to
have disappeared in this manner. My
niece has only been in San Francisco
since last September. She was not used
to city ways, and was afraid to go out
alone. She even disliked going to school
alone. She had been special scholar
at the boys high school on Suffer street
since last October. She took only few
studies, and was permitted to come home
for the day after ~ if she desired to do
SO. She was very ambitious, however,
and frequently continued her studies into
the afternoon, remaining in the school
library to do So because she could get
books there that she had not at home.
She was never late coming home-that is,
she got home as suon as possible after
school hours.
She never went out in the evening
with young men. She went to the theater
only once since she has been in the city,
and that was in the afteroon with her
uncle and sister. She did not seem to care
for that kind of thing. She was very
anxious to hear Lew Wallace when he
was here. because she was so fond of his
books. so her uncle, her sister and l went
with her. and that was the only time she
ever went to any place of amusement at

TACOMA, WASH. April 14.-Maggie
Kornders, a pretty German girl, was shot
and killed this morning by Mike Pfeife,
a crank who imagined he was her lover.
Pfeife then shot himself and died almo st
instantly. Maggie was servant girl in
the employ of A. Vein berg, but was I'M
usually unassumi ng and ladylike. She
was favorite with the German popula-
ton. PfeiHe was a mechanic of little
means and good address. He secreted
himself in the woodshed of the Weinberg
residence in some manner last night.
At 8 oclock this morning Maggie went
out to get some wood. She had picked
up few sticks when Pfeihe fired. His
bullet entered her left eye and crashed
through her brain. The girl died at 1880
at the Fannie Paddock hospital. She
was "A years old and Mr.. Weinburg says
she was the best domestic they ever had.
She helped support an aged father and
two younger children.
Pfeife had been paying her attentions
for three years but she did not like him
and told him so. On March 9th he was
threatening to kill her. He had said he
would kill her before she should marry
another. The case was continued two
weeks and last Monday was dismissed be-
cause she failed to prosecute. Mr.. Vein
berg wanted to prosecute him but Maggie
said he was too much of a coward to kill
her and asked him to desist. Last night
she was observed by Pfeifle to walk out
with another young German. his rival.
Pfeihe was member of the San Francis
CO German Turnerbund and Mason.

DISAPPEARANCE OF MISS LAMONT
The Murdered Girl Dropped Out Of Sight
Hysteriously

IiyetSIiOuehy
The following story of the disappearance
and search for Miss Lamont is taken from
the Examiner of Friday last.
Not trace of Blanche Lamont has been
found since she stepped on Powell
street car ten days ago.
She was 81. slender, graceful. we'll
dressed, brown haired, accom- lished-the
picture of the girl in the Preside Com
Panion stories who has adventures among
the traps of great city.
1t is absurd to suppose that young
woman could be kidnapped in broad day
light in the heart of San Francisco,
though such things occasionally happen
in the stories.
whom dark plots might be Matched. She
was not in any body's way. Indeed. there
was nothing mysterious about her. She
was simply very pretty girl, romantic.
according to some of her school friends
intensely matter-of-fact according to her
relatives.
She lived with an aunt, and wanted to
be teacher, and to help her in this un-
romantic ambition she was attending
the nor NAL school.
She should have been at home at
clock that afternoon. Her music teacher
was there at that hour and waited for her
but she never came. and the last her

tered the Powell-street car with her school
books.
But that is not all the story. There was
young man. Whether he was the de-
signing villain or the bold young hero Of
the tale the story has not developed far
enough to reveal.
His description would answer for either
character. He is about % years old,
with dark mustache, well dressed and
gentle hammered. He was waiting for
her outside the school One of Miss
Lamonts school mates saw him greet the
girl and get on the car with her-it IS
from her description of their meeting
that it is known he was gentle hammered.
Blanche lamont walked out of the
school with another girl who, however,
left her at the door.
A third girl walking Just behind saw

mustache and saw them get on the wait
ing car.
The police did not go any further than
this point and believe the girl eloped
with this young man--a view which
the girls relatives refused to consider
even possibility.
Her aunt never knew of Miss Lamont's
acquaintance with any young man ans
wering this description and believes that
the girl who told the story was carried
away by the lover OF romance. but the
police believe the young man story.
