Portland, Ore, Oct. "A mother de-

presented here yesterday when Mrs
Dora Lundroot told the story of the kill

Keutemeyer, on Sauvies island.
Mrs. Lundroot declares her son planned
the deed two years ago, and that he had
been waiting only for suitable oppor-
tunity to commit the crime. The trouble,
she says, arose through the jealousy of
Keuteneyer because Mrs. Lundroot's
mother decided to LundroOt thirty acres

lives of other persons on the island, and

persons will see that he is put out OF the

THREE AWFUL NIGHTS
Described by One Who Was With the
Besieged at Pekin.


San Francisco Oct miss Ceci1e
Payen, the young miniature painter,
who went to Pekin last spring as the
guest of Minister and Mrs. Conger, told
a graphic story of the siege on her ar
rival here.
"Of the whole eight weeks of terrible
anxiety and dread. she said, three
nights stand out with special promi-
hence. They are spoken of by the be-
sieged as the three terrible nights The
first was just before the siege-about
June II or Is. That was while we were
in the American legation We went in
to the British legation compound on
June 90 The night 1 speak of was one
the foreigners will never forget. All
night long went up cries and bowls of
thousands upon thousands Of Chinese,
crying for the blood of the foreigners.
THE second terrible night was about
the middle of the siege, when, after three
or four days of muggy and sultry
weather, one of the most violent thun-
der storms ever experienced broke
over the city. Everybody had predicted
that with the coming of the rain the
Chinese would cease firing, but the eff
feet was just the opposite. It was a
night of believing thunder, roaring ar
tillery, incessant lightning and pouring
rain.
''The third and last night of horrors
was that of August 10, the day before
the relleI came On mat n1gnL the chi
nese were fairly frantic and moved
heaven and earth to break in and kill US
Firing that had seemed furious was
tame compared with the hail of shot and
shell that poured in upon US that night.
1t came from all quarters and seemed to
be from every Imaginable kind of fire
arms. We had received reports of the
approach of the relief column, and knew
that it must be near, from the frantic
attempts of the Chinese to STAY US. We
expected that any moment might be our
last, as many breaches were made by
shells and a determined assault at any
one place would have opened the way
for the hordes outside"
