WEALTH FOR A BEGGAR,
Fortune for Man Jailed at
Portland, Or, as a
Vagrant.
DR.. Murphy Notified That He Is the
Heir to an Estate in
Ireland.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 20-A fortune
has chased across the Atlantic and across
this continent to find an heir, who was a
college mate of Oscar Wilde, and is now in
decided need.
Some years ago a physician settled at
Roseburg, Or. His name was DR.. NJ. ]. Muir
ply. He claimed to be a graduate of Trinity
College, Dublin Ireland, and to have been a
surgeon in the British navy. He proved to
be a scholar and a learned doctor and
achieved great success in his profession
Destination wrecked him at Roseburg and
for several years he has been sad victim
of alcohol. Drifting to Portland. he eked
out a precarious living, writing scholarly
editorials for daily paper. Want and the
disease of bad habits tempted him to ask
help in the streets, for which be was arrested
and put in Jail. While IN Jail for begging,
a considerable fortune was awaiting him
in County Louth, Ireland, left him by his
father, who had been an important county
official for half century.
After being released from prison DIR.
Murphy received letter from Father
Chabot, a priest at Roseburg, saying he
had received a letter from Mrs Murphy,
the doctors mother, asking the where
abouts of the son, and saying that his
father. who had recently died, had left a
considerable sum in cash, bonds and
stocks. Father Chabot requested the
doctor to write to him at once, as he de-
sired to send reply to Ireland.
The first intimation DIR. Murphy had OF
the death of his father was in copy of an
exchange which he had borrowed from a
newspaper Office here. The doctor was at
college with Oscar Wilde, and remembers
the British convict well. Several weeks
ago he contributed highly interesting
article to local weekly, containing remi-
niscences of Wilde's singing for Trinity
students.
DR.. Murphy is reticent about his wind
fall, and the story leaked out only through
a prominent Catholic acquaintance of his,
who saw the letter from Father Chabot,
with whose handwriting the gentleman is
ia miIiar. The doctor is eking out poor
existence, awaiting further returns from
Father Chabot's report to his mother in
County Louth.

and utterly hopeless nights vigil was kept
from Sunday evening to Monday morning
by Mrs. a. P. Bozzaro, widow of the ''Un-

suicide Friday night with morphine. DR..
Bozzaro's widow, heartbroken over her
husbands tragic ending, was willing to
allow anything to be tried which might
possibly restore heT husband TO her. Con-
se1uently; when Dr.. Joseph F. Chan, a
Chinese physician. appeared at her door
on Sunday evening she readily let him in.
Many time IN China" said DR.. Chan,
''we have resuscitated men who died from
overdoses OF opium" Mrs. Bozzaro and
DR.. Chan entered the room where the dead
man lay. In the hope of having her hus-
band brought back TO her, she forgot TO
explain that the body had already been
embalmed. The Chinese physician said
that the man was only lying in a stupor,
I and that if the morphine could be forced
out with medicine signs of life would ap-
pear in short time.
Then he forced several teaspoonfuls of
the medicine down the throat of the
corpse. Shortly after this he departed,
| leaving instructions that the medicine
should be administered every half hour.
Mrs. BoZZaro was faithful TO the trust
and although weary from fatigue and loss
Of sleep, she remand with the dead man
until morning, administering the medi-
cine as directed and watching for signs OF
life. The gray streaks of dawn began to
appear through the windows, but the
anxious woman still hung by her hus-
bands bier, waiting for the signs OF life
which she confidently expected would aD-
pear. Yesterday morning she telephoned
to Coroner Arbuckle stating the circum-
stances. The Coroner at once went to the
house and stopped proceedings.

Jacksons Hole Country to
Investigate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 20.-Since
the closing OF the Bannock Indian troubles
the Interior Department has been busy
collecting material as basis for a report
OF the whole affair, and it has now about
completed its task. 1t has long been I'M
derstood that those implicated in the kill
ing and wounding OF the Indians would be
brought to account.
The Department of Justice will soon
have all the facts of the affair laid before
it, probably tomorrow, and it is under
stood that the Interior Department will
recommend that special agents be detailed
to visit the scenes of the recent troubles
and make an investigation with view to
Furnishing the persons engaged in killing
the Indians.
In that event the department will send
inspectors along with the agents to assist
in the investigation.
1t is not likely that Agent Teter will
take any part in this phase of the matter,
owing TO the prejudices of the settlers
against him

effect that negotiations we're in progress

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 20.-The i'm
provement in Governor Budd's condition
is more marked every day. DR.. Sargent
said this morning he thought that in about
ten days the Governor would be able to be
up and about. Then he will be removed
to Tiburon, where quarters are being fitted
up for him on board the steamer Merren,
which is out of commission now.
The patient continues his diet of eggs
and milk, which has been prescribed to
give him strength. He also eats birds and
fruit, but is not allowed any meat except
young pigeons, as it is bad for his rheu-
matism. He seems brighter now that he
has gained a little strength, and laughs
and chats with the members OF his house
hold.
No matters connected with his official
duties are vet allowed to come before him.
Miss Todman. his executive secretary looks
out for the correspondence and helps the
others to stave off the politicians.
From the present indications it will not
be long before the Governor will be himself
once more. His eye is brighter and his
voice clearer than it had been, and the
marked weakness has now about gone
from him.
This afternoon he sat up in the invalid
chair that has been procured for him. To-
morrow he will be wheeled into the parIor
for a time. 1t is expected tonight that
the Governor will be able to go down to
Tiburon a week from tomorrow.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 20.-A great
sensation was created yesterday among
the elite of Long Beach, Wash, a fashion
able seaside resort, when United States
Marshal Grady arrested A. ]. Lusk for en-
bezzling $4,000. Lusk went TO Long

was released on bail and fed to San Fran
cisco. Since then, until last month, de-
tectives all over the country had been look

BULLETS AND DYNAMITE.
An Empty Safe in the Express
Car Was Easily Blown
Open.
TWO TRAINMEN WERE ROBBED.
Passengers Not Molested, but a
Flagman Was Shot Down
by the Bandits.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, Aug. 20.-The
SPIN Chicago and West Michigan pas
senger train from Chicago was held up by
four highwaymen one and a half miles
south OF New Richmond at $40 o'clock
this evening. When the train reached the
curve at this point it slowed up as usual,
and as it did so a signal was swung for the
train to stop.
Engineer George Zeibel reversed the
lever and applied the airbrakes and
brought the train to standstill. A mo-
ment later he and the fireman, Michael
Driscoll, were covered with revolvers by
two men, while two others proceeded to
the express-car and ordered Expressman
Bernard Van Often to open the door.
This he refused to do and the robbers
began firing at the train, breaking all the
windows in the expres.-car. Finding Van
Often not easily scared one of the robbers
forced the door and the two men went in,
and while one covered the expressman the
other dynamited the safe, blowing the
door off. They got nothing, as It was an
empty safe being taken from Chicago to
the company's offices in this city.
The robbers then proceeded to the pas
senger-cars, firing as they went. Entering
the car they held up Conductor E. E. Rice,
taking his watch and 81 in cash.
While this was going on the other two
robbers went through Engineer Zeibel and
got his watch and also took one from Fire
man Driscoll. The four men then jumped
from the train, and as they did so they saw
Flagman Timothy Murphy signaling and
shot him in the right groin, infiicting q
serious wound. After firing more shots at
the train the robbers struck out into the
woods.
After the train was started it ran into an
obstruction short distance north of the
place OF the hold-up. The robbers had
piled the track with old ties, and some
time was spent in clearing the track. The
train was held twenty minutes, and arrived
in this city at II 10 o'clock. The wounded
flagman was taken to the hospital. None
of the passengers were molested, or in
iured by flying bullets, but all were terri
bly, frightened.
The Chicago and West Michigan officials
at once dispatched posse after the rob
bers. The gang is evidently the same one
which assaulted woman at Otsego, Sun
day, and has been operating in Kalamazoo
and Aleghan counties for the past three
weeks. robbing farmers and holding up
travellers

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 20.-An answer
of Thomas F. Cakes, Henry c. Payne and
Henry C. Rouse, receivers of the Northern
Pacific, to the motion and petition of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company for
their removal was filed this afternoon in
the office of the clerk of the Federal court.
1t is a voluminous document and denies
every allegation made in the petition for
removal, and atfirms strongly that Judge
Jenkins of the Eastern Wisconsin Judicial
District had jurisdiction in the original
case, as the property of the company is
and was located therein. Stress is also
laid upon the fact that at the time the
original suit was brought counsel for the
Northern Pacific admitted that the COM
pany was bankrupt and consented to the
appointment of receivers.
The hearing of the case viii begin Thurs
day.

police, and they had to snatch him off his
box and arrested him on the charge of re-
fusing to move on.
No sooner was Isaac taken into custody
than one of his colleagues mounted the
box to continue the discourse. He held
the position few moments only, though,
as one OF the officers made for him, and
the fellow broke and ran away.
In the Municipal Court Isaac declared
he had local following of 100 men, who
would be heard from.
