of the engineer of the passengers agents
special to take to the siding and relOln
the main line farther on. The air brakes

of the brakes, the special continued on
the main line past the switching point
and ran into the freight train. Both en-
gines were somewhat damaged at the

FALLS. VICTIM
To ASSASSIN
Portland Young Man Is
Murdered on Way to
His Home.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov 21.-James Nor
row. prominent young man, was the vic
tim of an atrocious murder last night.
The manner I'm which the deed was perpe-
trated and the identity of the assassin
are enveloped in mystery.
The murder was not discovered until 4:30
o'clock this morning, when a milkman,
Ambrose Sparrowk, found the body lying
on the sidewalk of an East side street.
The circumstances surrounding his tragic
death make 1t one of the saddest that has
ever befallen the efforts of the police to
unraVel
Leaving the home of his fiancee, Miss
Lilah Illidge, a beautiful young society
woman, at 11;40 o. clock last night Morrow
started with a jest on his lips for his
home, one mile and half away. He had
missed the last car and blithely began his
long walk. When the tragedy was en-
acted he was three blocks away from his
home. The murder took place on East
Eighth street, between Stephens and Mill,
twenty feet away from the residence OF
c s. Bradford, mailcarrier-
The report of a pistol was heard at 1920
a. m. and the whole neighborhood was
aroused. The listeners merely turned over
in their beds. Several heard the clatter
Of two men running away. While the
residents lay back for sound slumber rain
drops battered on the dying boy.
TWO theories are advanced to explain
the murder-one that he was killed by a
personal enemy jealous of the boys at
tentions to Miss Illidge, the other that he
was the victim of highwaymen. The bull
let was fired at close range, burning the
face with powder. The mystery is deep
ened by the position in which the body
was found. the left hand being in his
pocket and the right appraised. The bullet
went through his left eye. His position,
with his left knee appraised to take a step
is taken to indicate that he made no re
sistance and that the shot came unexpect-
eddy.

week to enable Vernon to write up the
record. There is an appropriation for an
additional stenographer in the Police

son will not make the appointment.

BusDy arrived here to-day by the
steamer Amur. He is one of the most
valued officers of the Government in the
North and has on several occasions pre-
pared important reports. A month ago
ne wrote to friend in Vancouver that
Sne would at once come down here on a
honoay: A few days later he wired that
ne was delayed for three weeks in MAX
ing special investigation.
w men he arrived in Vancouver to-day
BuSDy expressed great surprise that the
story mad been published regarding the
Northern conspiracy. He admitted that
tnls was the special business regarding
which he had been detained. Busby saws
that it was one of the features of the plan
OF conspiracy to bring large number of
men up from Seattle who were opposed to
government ana It's rule In
the Yukon and to have them assist in the
ngnt to be made against the mounted
ponce. 1t was the intention to ship in
rifles and money was subscribed for this
purpose The officials obtained wind of
this, and because of their extreme vigil
lance they are certain that no guns
passed through and that this part of the
programme was never fulfilled.
Another scheme included in the general
plan was to rob various banks in White
Horse as Well as in Dawson. These are
not usually well guarded and the idea
was to obtain the money for the Beers in
South Africa. But so far none of these
schemes We're acted upon and nothing
was done, for the officials watched care
fully all the time.
Other passengers coming by the same
steamer to-day agree that an attempt
was made to carry out the conspiracy.
TWO men opened offices in SkagWay in
the summer, and from there they OBJ
tanned subscriptions from American resi-
dents for the carrying out of the scheme
one or these men came to Seattle and
did missionary work there in the revolu-
ZIONIST cause.
