MOUNT HOOD IN ERUPTION.
Narrow Escape of the Party Who
Were Ascending the Peak.

PORTLAND orr, Aug. 31.-It was
only through mere chance-a miracle,
some might say-that the party OF
mountain climbers that made the as
cent of Mount Hood last Wednesday
was not buried beneath an avalanche of
rock and ashes. There was an eruption
as the party, consisting of twenty one
persons, were making the descent of the
mountain. The earth trembled, and
smoke and steam were seen issuing
from a towering cliff directly above
them. Before there was time for flight
shower of powders came tearing down
the mountain side directly toward the
mountaineers. One of the largest stones
struck Miss Fay Killingsworth and
knocked her into a crevasse ten feet
deep She was badly injured, and is
still unconscious. The rest of the party
escaped with a few scratches ana
bruises. The party has ont yet reached
the city and details of the eruption are
not yet at hand.

The Woman at the Receiving Hospital
in Dying Condition.
John A. Jelik Attempts to Kill a
Pretty Young Widow, With Whom
He Was in Love, and Then Tries
Death of an Employe of the Risdon
Iron Works at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31-Joseph
kilkline, an eX-freman, this afternoon
fired four shots at his wife in their home
at 81 Jessie street.
AT 2:2O o'clock people living in the
neighborhood were startled by the re-
ports of revolver. A number rushed
to the residence of Kilkline. There they
found the wife lying on the floor dying
from bullet wounds in the breast and
back.
The husband, who had fired the shots,
had the smoking pistol in his hand. He
was sober at the time, and surrendered
to an officer who soon arrived.
When asked why he shot his wife he
declined to give any reason and refused
to make any statement whatever re-
garding the crime.
The wounded woman was hurried to
the Receiving Hospital, where it was
found that three bullets had taken ef-
feet.
From the neighbors it was learned
that Kilkline was extremely jealous OF
his wife, and it is supposed that was the
cause which impelled him to commit the
crime.
The injured woman is p years of age.

WITTY GETS NO MONEY.
Not Entitled to the Reward Offered
for the Capture of SOntag.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31.-Jim Witty
will have to satisfy himself with the
empty glory of having captured Sontag,
the late partner of Chris Evans, for it
was decided to-day that Witty is not
entitled to any part of the $4,000 re-
ward given by the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. Witty recently
brought suit in the United States Cir
cult Court to compel them to pay him
the $4,000 reward. The court decided
to-day that Witty had only caught Son
tag after some one had shot him, and
was therefore not entitled to the money.
