ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
EXPLO LOSlON WRECKS ONE
ROOM IN THEIR HOUSE
Marshall and Wife Move From Their
Sleeping Room, Which Was Destroy
ed, Just in Time to Save Their Lives
He Tells Sheriff the Name Of Party
He Suspects OF the Deed.

That ]. b. Marshall, his wife and Ed
ward Smith we're not blown into eternity
this morning at o'clock, was not the
fault of the unknown man who placed
box Of dynamite under their house and
set fuse TO the explosive. The explo.
sion that followed was terrific. None OF
the occupants was injured but the house
was wrecked.
Who made the attempt at murder is
matter OF conjecture, but the authorities
working on the case believe they know
the guilty party. 1t is said there is a
woman in the case.
Marshall resides in a small frame house
i'll the southwestern part Of the city near
the old Centennial mill, the first smcter
built in Butte. He is an old-timer N
Butte and for some years has driven a
scavenger wagon.
Fortunate Move.
Marshall and his wife occupied one Of
the rooms. Edward Smith, a laborer, slept
in an adjoining room and the third apart
ment is used as a kitchen.
1t was the kitchen that was wrecckd
Up to within few days ago it was used
as bedroom by Marshall, but yesterday
he and his wife decided to make a change
in the use of the two rooms. Accordingly
the bed room furniture was moved into
what had been the kitchen and last night
they slept there.
1t was this sudden move that saved their
lives.
Whoever had designs upon Marshall's
life evidently knew the rooms he was
accustomed to occupy and was unac-
quainted with the fact that he had moved

plosion. | was shocked so at first that

that the explosion had come from under

explosion.

"My wife and | dressed then and with

room we waited until morning At day

examination of the premises. ! found
about 80 feet OF fuse under the kitchen.
The exact amount of dynamite used j.
was impossible to tell, but from the way

should judge there was a half box.

trouble and believe he is responsible, al

Marshall came to town this morning
and consulted with County Attorney
Breen regarding the issuing of a COM
plant against the party suspected, but he
was advised by the attorney to investigate
further into the case before taking def
mite steps.

price he is to receive for his work
is 1884. The building of the
temporary bridge may cause
traffic to be suspended for a
couple of days owing to the fact
that Mr.. Mi1hollen may deter
mine to make use of the timbers
in the old bridge for this purpose.
According to the terms of the
contract he is allowed to delay
traffic for two days for this pur-
pose.
It is a matter of importance
that the permanent bridge be a
substantial one and the court is
experiencing trouble in settling
the question as to who shall
supervise the construction of the
work. The law does not make
this matter very clear and it ap-
pears that it is placed in the
hands of the county surveyor and
the roadmaster as well, but at |
the same time the court, if it |
sees fit, has power to select a
competent engineer to supervise
The work.

The Eighth Grade.

A good audience greeted the
graduating class of the eighth
grade pupils in the Opera House
last Wednesday evening. The
exercises were all meritorious
and reflected credit on themselves
and their instructors.
Rev. Andrew Carrick deliver
ed the invocation at the close of
the first overture by the orches-
ira and was followed by the salu-
tatorian, Gladys Moore. The
program consisted of recitations
and musical numbers by mem
bers of the class. There were
two lclass prophecies that were
entertaining. Miss Elsie Bates
sang very acceptable vocal solo.
Superintendent Denman pre-
sented the diplomas to the class.
His address was a splendid effort
and he held the close attention
Of the audience during the entire
recital. AS an of-hand speaker
Supt. Denman is perfect Sue
cess. The words of admonish-
ment he gave the class were very
instructive and if needed will
prove beneficial to every one of
the pupils.
At the close of the exercises
for the evening Prof. Holmes
made a few remarks thanking
the public for the part it had
taken in making the evening
memorable and announcing that
the ninth grade pupils would
hold their exercises in the Opera
House this, Friday evening.

Committed Suicide.

Burt Batty, quite we'll known
here, where he attended the Ag-
ricultural college about three
years ago as student in the
farmers short course, recently
committed suicide at his home
near Fort Cahbv.
He was secretary of the Will
lamette Fruit Company, and a
son of George S. Batty, prom
inent railroad man of Chicago.
He had been despondent for
several days over minor business
troubles, but they were not
thought sufficient to cause him
to take his own life. He left
home early Friday morning to
do some work in the field and
when last seen alive was going
towards the river. He did not
appear at the house at lunch
time and search was made, with
no result. He was tracked in
the soft ground to the river bank.
The river was dragged and on
Sunday morning the body was
discovered with bullet hole in
the breast. Temporary aberra-
ton was undoubtedly the cause
of his suicide. The funeral will
be held upon the arrival of the
young mans father from Chicago.

Council Notes.

The city council met Wednes-
day evening at which time the
following matters were given
consideration:
Councilman EleetZ. H. Davis,
who was placed on the ticket in
the recent election against his
protest, asked the council to ap-
point some lone in his place as
business matters made it impos-
sible for him to give his atten-
ton to the city's affairs. The
council elected Emory Allen to
fill the vacancy in the upper
ward.
Nightwatchman Flett made
application for reelection to this
position.
Councilman ]. R. Smith Of
fered his resignation as council
man, which was accepted, and ].
L. Underwood elected to fill the
vacancy. Mr.. Smiths letter of
resignation follows, and is self
explanatory:
Corvallis, Or. June 2. 1902.
To the Mayor and Common
Council
Of the City of Corvallis:
GENTLMEMEN: Since my recent
election as councilman, I have
given the subject of acceptance
my thoughtful consideration and
a view 1 had not heretofore taken
has been presented. Consider
ing the fact that at this time my
firm has several contracts with
he city which will, during the
next few months, come before |
you for settlement, / do not feel
hat should hamper your trans
actions in this particular by con-
:inuing as a member of your
body. Nor can I feel that my
absence alone from your deliber-l
atoms would leave youthat entire
reedom to act that my resigna-
ion will. l have no other rea-
;on for declining the office, and
:egret that I did notsee this as I do
aow prior to the election, when
might have relieved you of the
luty of selecting my successor.
In thus advising you of my in
ention not to qualify, I desire
also to avail myself of the oppor-
unity to thank the Mayor and
0ouncilmen for the uniform
courtesy that I have at all times
enjoyed. I assure you it il ith
10 little feeling of regret that I
hus sever an association that has
or seven years so amicably con-
inued.
It is needless for me to say
hat 1 have at all times had the
interests of the whole city at
leart. 1t has been my desire
hat Corvallis should be conduct
d and maintained in, a manner
guaranteeing comfort. and con-
eminent to her citizens with the
burden of taxation;
hat the City should stand as an
pen recommendation to strang-
rs, influencing them to stop and
AXE up their residence with us.
his interest in the welfare of
he town will continue without
iminuation and l shall always
e ready and pleased to render
ou what assistance I can, to
1rther the best Interests of. Cor
allis. Respectfully yours,
J. R. SMITH.

ANOTHER GOTHAM MYSTERY.
Salt Lake City Dressmnker Found
Dead I'm Her Room I'm the Metropolis.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The body of Mary
Gruner, a dressmaker, twenty years old,
was found in her room in West Fourth
street this afternoon. The woman's lower lip
was badly swollen. The police thought the
woman's death required investigation, and
detectives were assigned TO the case. Miss
Gruner came to this city about ten days
ago from Salt Lake City. In her room were
dresses and jewelry TO the value OF about
81 coo.
Coroner Jackson, after a superficial ex-
animation Of the body of Mary Gruner,
said he thought IL probable from the posi-
ton of the body when found and the con-
dition of her mouth and tongue, that she
had been strangled TO death. On the man.
tel in the woman's rooms the coroner found
found also newspaper clipping announc-
ing the marriage of Fred T. McGuiren and
Estelle Crystal at Colorado Springs.
A further search OF the woman's effects
disclosed a torn store bill. which. on be-
ing put together, showed it had been made
out to Miss Gruner by Roy Watrous, OF
81 East Third South street, Salt Lake City.
1t for 1913 for lettering a box There
was also part of bill from DR.. s. Stichel,
of Salt Lake City.
Further investigation. into the death of
Miss Gruners satisfies the police that ii
was due TO natural causes. though of a
somewhat peculiar nature. Their theory is
that the young woman had received news
that a love affair had ended unhappily for
her and that in violent fit of emotion she
had burst a blood vessel. Miss Gruner had
come from Salt Lake City quite recently.
