THE DOUBLE MURDER.

The coroner's inquest held Sunday on
the bodies Of the two men murdered on
the north side OF the Columbia opposite
this city. early Saturday morning. fall
ed to produce any evidence which
would indicate who We're the pcrpe-
traitors Of one OF the most atroclous
murders committed on this river, or
whether In fact the double murder
might not have been duel between
the two men. or whether Il was not u
case Of vengeance for wrongs commit
ted by them.
Chris. Veins was a well-known bar
tender in this city. and Tor years was
a longshoreman in Portland and other
places Recently he opened a whisky
scow near Megler's station. Point Ell
lice. Frank Nelson has for number OF
years been foreman for Megler's can
merry and recently has been in charge
OF the receiving and weighing OF hsh
at the station near which the tragedy
occurred. Veins was not n general
favorite. on account Of his high tenn
per and stubborn disposition. Nelson,
on the other hand, particularly since
his marriage was one Of the most pop
ular men on the river, and could do
almost anything with the fishermen.
Neither OF the men were members OF
the nshermen's union. although IN SYM
pathy with that body. In the earlier
part Of Friday night Veins sold a
number OF salmon 20 the Scaudlna-
Wan fishermen at Desdemona sands. for
which he received $2S. He then return
ed to his whisky scow and about /
o'clock he and Nelson took short
piece OF net In small skin and stated
they were going out to catch a few
fish. About o'clock cries for help
were heard and number of shots fir
ed. A Greek fisherman named Castro
testified that he rowed in a skiff TO
where the noise came from and par
ties who heard him coming warned him
to turn back or they would shoot him.
He turned back and endeavored to get
some Of his companions to go with him
and investigate the trouble. This they
refused to do. Veins was found in
his skin grasDIng an oar in the act
Of rowing and fallen forward on his
knees shot through the neck and evil
IDENTIFY killed instantly. His rifle was
lying beside him in the boat, his watch
was on his person, but no money In his
pockets. A friend took the wa'ch. but
when the coroner arrived next day the
rifle was missing, which may have been
stolen by parties who took the money
from his pockets A short distance
away on the beach, Nelson's body was
found floating in the water with one
shot through his side and one through
his head, either Of which would have
caused death Both men were powder
stained, Indicating that the shooting
was done at close range.
Friends Of the men state that both
bore good characters as to their hon

mors to the contrary, that neither had
any money Of consequence. AS both
were the best possible friends, 1t is GER
