A blow with a blunt instrument

kindly feeling for Presley, and that
he is capable of a wilful attempt at
murder and suicide seems scarcely
to be credited
William Murray, who first brought
the news to town, is becoming dis
agreeably connected with the affair
about Superior. 1t is claimed that
Murray was a frequent visitor at the
PRESLEY home, a fact most distaste-
full to the husband. Murray has told
stories of the affair, many of which
are contradictory on important
points. One of these is seeing a
bloody razor in the hand of Presley
when he first gave the alarm, a state
ment that he now denies. There is
also ifference in the hour Murray
gives of discovery of the tragedy.
His detention as a suspect or valua-
BILE witness in clearing up the mys-
terry is urged.

Washington, Sept. 18.-According
to mail advices from Minister Con-
ger, China is on the verge of another
boxer uprising. The principal causes
are extortionate taxes and bitter re-
sentiment against missionaries. Min
lister Conger reports serious anti-for-
eign riots near Chen Fo, in province
of Szeung, in which a number of ma
tive Christians were massacred anu
chapels destroyed. There had been
great shaking UP of officials in this

able to cope with the rebels.

Ira Pressly and Wife Found at Home N
Missoula County
UNCONSCIOUS FROM WOUNDS
OF Knife and Club-The Husband Makes an Ante Morten,
Statement but His Explanations are Lame-Woman
of Some Questionable Notoriety

Missoula, Mont, Sept. 17.-Living
but with the only hope of always be-
ing insane as the result of wounds on
the head received Monday night, is
the condition tonight of Mrs. Ida
Presley. She mas been unconscious
since found at an early hour Monday
evening at her ranch home, near Su-
perior, in this county.
Beside her lay her husband, whose
throat was cut from ear to ear. The
husbands condition is stated by ply
sicians to be more hopeful than that
of his wife. Surgeons this morning
sewed UP a gaping neck wound The
windpipe was found to be completely
severed and other vital points were
reached with the keen edged instru-
ment that in a mysterious manner
came so near ending his life.
The wound was found to be in
bad shape by reason of the time that
nau elapsed since 1t was made. This
fact makes the hope of recovery ex-
ceedingly slight. Following the sur
geon's work, PRESLEY was permitted
to take some liquid nourishment.
How he has managed to so long sur
vive his wound is puzzling to physi-
clans.
A theory of attempted suicide that
was advanced continues to find sub
sanitation. The wound was so clean
that there could have been no strug-
gle. Another point strengthening the
theory of self infiiction is that the
cut is deepest upon the left side of
the throat, gradually tapering to the
skin as it ends upon the right. Fol-
lowing the penetration of the blade
the hand that held it was weakened

not yet been filed, although the at
torney representing it stopped at
Olympia en- route for Salem to secure
the Oregon reward. A question was
raised shortly after Governor Nc
Bride offered the reward of $4,000 as
to his power to make such offer un-
der the constitution, as he is appar-
emily limited to $1,000 in each case.
The stand taken by the executive
was that he could offer $1,000 for
each murder. The auditor has re-
ferred the matter to the attorney
general for an opinion, and it is prob
able that unless the Gardner party
withdraw their claim the matter will
be finally adjudicated by the courts.

Filled Full of Shot by the Men Who
Capture Him.

killed his wife and her father, and
wounded his mother an sister-in-law,
and for whose arrest rewards aggre-

shot down in a cornfield near here
today. He is badly wounded.
Dave Leary, Winside liveryman
and Perry Borum, armed respectively
with shotgun and a small bore rife,
effected his capture.
When they came upon Neigenfind
in cornfeld they called upon him
to throw up his hands. His reply was
to draw revolver and shoot point
blank at Leary. Then Leary and Bo-
rum poured a fusilade of shots into
him until he fell. He was brought to
Winside and surgeons are attending
him.

WILD GIRL is AT LARGE.
For Four Days She Has EIuded the

Officers.
Walla Walla, Wash, Sept. 17.-Liv-
ing by herself in the brush along the
Walla Walla rive, Amelia Mclean
has for days defed the countryside
in the vicinity of Newcomb corners,
ten miles southwest of this city. Yes
terday her strange behavior was re-
ported to the sheriff's office, but
nothing has been done by the au-
thorities toward locating her. Tues
day seven men spent the day in at
tempting to capture her, but the lit
tie girl proved too quick witted for
them and eluded their snares. Al
though she was known to be near,
they did not even catch a glimpse of
her.
She is believed to be mentally de-
ranged. How or where she obtains
food is not known.
The girl is II years of age and the
adopted daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mclean, farmers residing near New
comb.
On September II she left the home
of her adopted parents and took to
the bush. Since that time she has
been seen twice. Once she went to
house and asked for work, and at
another time she was seen in the
road walking toward this city. She
is bareheaded and poorly clad, wear
ing a dirty kitchen apron.
