GREEN EYED MONSTER AIMED
 THE SHOT.
Jerome Hardenbrook Killed by G. w.
 Trailer.

Ashland, Ore, Nov. 25.-Jerome Hardenbrook was shot and killed at Jacksonville last night by G. w. Trailer, while visiting his fiancee, Miss Sarah L. Deeson. at Trailer's home. where Miss Deeson, who is sister of Trailers' wife, was visiting. The Trail CT family came to Jacksonville about two weeks ago from Willamette Val ley, Miss Deeson with them. She wrote to young Hardenbrook to come to Jacksonville, and they were to be married within day or two. Har- denbrook arrived Friday night, and visited the Trailer residence the next day.
 Last night he called at Trailer's, and was received by Miss Deeson. Trailer came into the room, laughed at the couple, and went out. A short time afterward the pair were sitting near the window, Hardenbrook with his back to the window, and the young woman on one side of the panel, when a shot was fired through the window, the ball entering the back of liar denbrooks' head and coming out near the eye. The girl caught the dying man in her arms and held him in the chair until assistance came.
 The assassin, who was Trailer, started away on the Medford road but had gone only a short distance, when. hearing someone behind him-it was his son following him-he stopped, placed the muzzle of the rifle under his chin and fired. The shot made a ghastly wound through the face. Then he inclined forward and fired again into his forehead, being instantly killed.
 It is alleged that Trailers' crime was due to jealousy and that he had pro- posed to his sister-in-law to elope with him. He was 50 years old and the father of nine children. Hardenbrook was a young man from Willamette Valley.

ALL ABOUT RINGS.
What They Meant and How They Were
 Worn in Old Times.

What They Meant and How They Were
 Worn in Old Times.
 Rings have been worn by both savage and civilized people from the remotest antiquity. They have been worn in the ears, in the nose, around the neck, and around the wrists and the ankles. But the most famous and universal use of rings has always been for finger adorn- ment. In ancient times they were not merely for ornament, but had their use as signet rings.
 The old Egyptians wore what were known as "tebh," or finger-rings, and "khatem," or signet rings. They also had certain kinds of rings that were used as money.
 At one time fnger-rings were the em- bfem of rank and authority. They were of two kinds: The solid ring made of gold, silver, copper, or iron, with square or oval bezel, on which the sub ject to be impressed was either sunk or cut in intaglio, and the scarabaei rings of glazed steatite, set in frames of gold or silver.
 These scarabaei rings were often used for bezels. As rule, the base of the bezels was engraved with hiero- glyphics the names of monarch, mot toes and devices, and figures of the deities Very valuable gold rings with revolving bezels have been found, as that of Thothmes IT., and another bearing the name of the monarch Horus. The Horus ring contained as much as a hundred dollars worth of pure gold. Like the seal and counter seal of the present day, the rings hay ing revolving bezels could make two impressions.
 The early Greeks and Romans wore iron signet rings. In later times they covered their fingers with rings, even wearing them on their thumbs. Some of the very wealthy Romans had rings for exclusive winter wear, and others that they wore only in summer.
 Rings are closely associated with many of the Oriental beliefs and super stitions. Among the marvels attributed to Solomon's ring, it was believed to have power to seal up the refractory Jinns in jars and hull them into the Red Sea. The Creeks believed that

Strange Experience of Lieut.. Arnold Missing Naval Officer Found in Seattle
 Saloon.

Seattle (Wash.), Nov. 25.-(Exclu- sive Dispatch.) First Lieut.. Solon s. Arnold, U. s. N, who has been missing from Port Orchard drydock since last Thursday, was discovered in a ten derloin" saloon this evening. He is out of his mind. It is believed that he was stripped, robbed and clubbed by thugs. Tonight he lies in bed at the home of friends, his wife at his side. Fears are entertained that he will die before recovering sufficiently to explain his strange experiences. His head is badly bruised.
 Every stitch of clothing on Arnold when found, was different from that he wore when he left Port Orchard. His rings, gold watch and chain and money are missing. During the after noon he wandered into prominent hotel He acted so strangely and looked so dilaDidated that he was re- fused accommodations. After he had left it was discovered that he had reg istered as MT. Arnold. Hotel people recalled seeing the account of the dis appearance of Arnold, and reported the matter to the police, with the result that the missing man was subsequently located. Every effort possible is made to pull him through, but his condition is undoubtedly serious.
 The police have learned that Arnold was acting strangely when he arrived in the city Thursday from Port Or chard. He purchased a ticket for Portland instead of Tacoma, where he was directed to inspect government material. He asked the porter of the car to purchase him berth. When the porter returned, Arnold was miss ing. The police think he fell in with thugs while wandering about the city.
 Arnold was once an engineer in charge of Mare Island naval station. and was also a member of the Inspec- tion Board on the battleship Wiscon- sin.

Not single stroke missed full effect. The crowd roared it's disapproval, but no interference was attempted.

The thoroughfares through which Mir.

There vas bullet hole in his side The head was found some distance from lhe trunk. The remains were badly 1ecomposed, and it is thought the man has been dead several weeks.

 Many explanations have been given why rings have, from the most ancient times, been connected with marriage. One reason given is that the ring, hay ing no end, thereby symbolizes eternity and constancy. It has been said, too, that in ancient days the delivery of the signet ring to anyone was a sign of greatest confidence; in like manner the transfer of ring from husband to wife was a sign that she was to be his con- fidante. In Iceland, at one time, as a part of the marriage ceremony, the bridegroom passed his hand through a large ring and clasped the hand of his bride.

W|TCHCRAFT KILLS fl CHILD.
Horrible Death of a Little Indian Girl,
 Witchcraft the Cause
SAID YOUNG SISTER MUST BE KILLED
The Way The Faker Had of Doing up a
 Witch.

Cahto, Nov. 23.-News was received here tonight from Kabisallah, a small coast town, of the horrible death of a little Indian girl, victim of witch craft. Notwithstanding the efforts put forth by the Indian police and the gov> ernment supervisors to put a stop to the horrible and barbarous practice of witchcraft among the Indians and the severe punishment inflicted on them for that crime, it still continues to be practiced.
 The child was living in an old hut or tepee with her parents, and for some time had been ill, and at times suerffed untold agony. She was nursed and waited upon by an old medicine man known as "Old Lock lan.' Locklan would go through all sorts of incantations, but failed to drive the evil spirit out of the sick child, and becoming chagrined at his apparent hopelessness to maintain his professional reputation, he confessed to the child that she was bewitched and that before there was any assur- ance of recovery, the witch had to be removed. He assured the suffering child soothingly that he would that night commune with the sreat Spirit and ascertain who was bewitchlng her.
 The next day he informed her that her younger sister must be killed for the restoration of her health. A few days later the younger child died so suddenly that her parents thought something was wrong. "Old Locklan" was accused by the parents of the girl of crime. but before any inves- tigation could be made he had dis appeared taking with him the sick child.
 It is said that the authorities will issue a warrant for his arrest, but as the medicine men have great inf1u ence with the Indians and are looked upon with superstitious awe, they will be kept securely out of the reach of the Indian officials, and it may be that "Old Locklan" vii not be heard of for some time to come.
