DOES BURLINGTON OWN 1T 2


In local railroad circles the new officials
and directors OF the Port Angeles Eastern
railway are occupying considerable
amount OF attention. and much specula-
ton Is rife as regards the interests repre-
scented.
The Burlington road seems to be present
with a fun share OF officers and directors
which. In tho absence OF any official In
formation. gives rise TO the belief that
that road Is Interested In the projected
line from Port Angeles to olympia.

A murder most shocking in its details
was reported last night TO the King coun-
~ authorities as having occurred We'd
nesday night at the little settlement OF
Midtown. on the line Of the Great North
ern railway. In Skagit county. Charles
Bonser, merchant and single mill OPP
orator was the victim. Bonser was
murdered in cold blood by robbers We'd
nesday night about o'clock while within
200 yards of his store at Midtown. His
body, with the pockets rifed. was found
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock in a lit
tie clump of brush the skull broken and
bloody, while near by lay wooden cudg-
ell the implement of death welded by tho
assassin.
United States Deputy Marshal John
Stringer brought the details OF the story
to the city last night. arriving on the
Great Northern coast line train. From
him was obtained the following narrative
OF the crime:
Wednesday night. at about s:s5. Charles
Bonser left his store at Midtown TO go
to neighbors less than quarter OF a
mile away, for pail of milk. He was
the manager OF the store at Midtown
operated in connection with shingle
mill owned by himself and his brother
George Bonser. Charles did not return
and about midnight his brother becom-
ing alarmed at his nonappearance. start
ed out TO make an investigation. He re-
turned during the night after a fruitless
endeavor to find any trace of the missing
man.
The following morning a searching par
ty was organized. George Bonser took
the train and came to Stanwood. hoping
to find trace Of his brother there. The
searchers secured the woods surrounding
the little hamlet OF Midtown. and at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon discovered
the dead body of Charles Bonser lying
hidden in brush patch not more than
500 feet from his store.
The mans head was bloody and the
skull was evidently fractured. Near by
the searchers picked up a club covered
with blood and mats of hair.
The body was taken to the store of the
deceased and Immediately the sheriff was
notified of the crime.
Mr.. Stringer said that the authorities
had reason to believe that one or more
members of band of tough characters
lately arrived from the Fraser river fish
Ing district are responsible for the crime.
The story told to Mr.. Stringer IL that
twelve men passed through Lynden n few
days ago on their way from the Fraser.
They looted the store of j. A. Taylor at
Lynden, securing suit of clothes.
watch and some money They were
traced to Mt. Vernon, where they were
arrested early Wednesday afternoon.
Taylor came to Mt. Vernon, hoping to re-
cover his property. He failed to locate
any of the plumber and seven of the men
were placed on a southbound freight FOR
Everett and Seattle.
The theory Is advanced that the men
may have stopped at Midtown. which Is
about eight miles this side of Mt. YER
non, and there murdered Bonser for his
money.

! TWO LOST MONEY ORDERS.
Issued in Seattle Over Ten
Years Ago and Just
Returned.

1rwo money orders were re-
ceived at the postofiice yes
terday which are something
in the nature OF curiosities. They
were issued. one twelve and the
other fifteen years ago by this Of
, fee, and have since been travelling !.
through the United States, in a
} vain endeavor TO find the parties to
. whom they were addressed.
The first, for IS. was issued while
O. j. Carr was Seattle's postmas-
ter, and was addressed to a party
in New Orleans. 1t bears the date
: of April s. 1855. The other, for 50,
, was issued during the administra-
ton of ]. NJ. Lyon, and was adj
J dressed to Tacoma. The date Is
November q. 1883.
What makes these adyices espe-
cially hard to identify. is the fact
that neither of them bears the name
of the person to whom 1t was ad-
dressed. 1t was not then the Gus
tom for money order advices to be
thus distinguished.
After it was discovered that the
Jwners could not be found the or
ders were sent to the dead letter
office. and from there returned TO
the issuing Office TO be traced.

men prominently forward, Benjamin B.

tor Platt's illness which compelled him
