The events leading up to the first visit Of
Schumacher to the Rudolph home are
likely always to remain a mystery. Various
theories have been advanced by those IA
miliar with the case, but the delicate
strands which, as a whole skein. lead to
suspicion being cast upon William Rudolph
doubtless died locked In the breast Of their
originator.
KILLING WAS
MOST DELIBERATE.
According to the statement Of one Of the
men who accompanied schumacher to the
Rudolph home. when the latter met his
death, the killing was done deliberately,
without even the excuse Of passion.
Deputy Sheriff vedder OF Union. who
stood within three feet of the Pinkerton
man, gives the following account of the
occurrence:
I'VE approached the house without any
pretense Of concealment was leading.
Schumacher was next. and Tichenor and
Cromer followed In the order named.

The Benefit Of Change.

We are not house plants: We need q
change of soil now and then--to be re-
planted. New scenes, new experiences.
new surroundings change of climate,
dry, air instead of moisture, sunshine in
place OF cloud This is sometimes es-
sential to health. There are conditions
near at hand that are better than Europe
can offer. Take a month or two in Cal
ifornia. Plant yourself for time where
there are no irritations. where the hotel
is beyond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, and where sunny weather invites
to walks and drives, Pure and dry air,
and the increased electric influences of
sunshine are vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very little
expense, and enjoy ride over the scenic
Siskiyou and Shasta mountains, which
at this time of the year with their snow
covered peaks. are unsurpassed for their
grandeur.

MRS. BURDICK TESTIFIED AT
THE CORONERs INQUEST AT
BUFFALO,.
Pencils Letters to her in Evidence
They Breathed Affection
and in one the Writer Said
He Might Have to
Kill Burdick.

Buffalo, N. T., March 2l.-Pale
but calm, Mrs. Burdick again
mounted the witness stand this
morning. Thu court room was
crowded, nearly all the seats occu-
pied by fashionably dressed women
of social rank.
Mrs. Burdick, accompanied by
her mother, entered the court room
lust after PROSECUTOR Coatesworth
took his place. She eyed him
shrinkingly as he commenced
his examination holding in his
hards another bundle of Letters.
She admitted there had been an al
tercation at the Burdick house two
years ago, bit emphatieally denied
that Burdick struck her with a
chair, or that he wore court plaster
after the affair ended.
Mrs. Burdick was shown letter
from her husband, in which he said
divorce suit would be pressed;
also her reply, in which she begged
forgiveness. He forgave her and
they returned home together. A
short time afterward, on Pennel's
constant solicitation, she was with
him again several hours in a room.
ing house, where they conferred
about detectives hired to follow
Burdick.. When she reached home
her husband asked her where she
had BEEN, and told her she must
leave the house, but not necessarily
that day.
That night she went to Pencils
office, where everything was amica.
bly, arranged Burdiek being very
kind even then. The next day Bur-
dicks divorce summons was serv-
ed on her after which she left the
fouse for Niagara Falls. where she
lived alone at hotel. Pennel Wis
it'd her there twice, but saw none
of her family or children. She then
went to New York, where she saw
Pennel several times.
The was shown a letter which
she recognized as one written by
Mrs. PenneI to Burdick, pleading
With him to drop divorce proceed
ipgs for the sake Of her children.
She besought him to save the rep
utation of all and not c st the stig-
ma OF divorce over the children.
One said: "Allie. I am going to
Atlantic City. What the end of
that trip will be God only knows.
As final word of warning, let me
tell you there is no punishment like
life of regret"
Buffalo, March 24.-It is repor
ted today that plot has been dis
covered which was concocted by
pennell and a beautiful young
woman which had for it's purpose
an attempt to lure and entrap Bur
dick into situation which would
prevent his pressing his suit for
divorce. The woman and the man
who brought her to Buffalo are un-
der police surveillance. It is now
currently stated and understood by
the police department that the
woman viii be put on the witness

A CHARMED SPOT IN BENTON
WHERE THEY FIND IT AL
READY MINTED.
Miners Once Camped There. En-

Fie1ds--Commissioner
Erwln's Find and That
of his Brother
James Other
News.

A wear or more ago, Commis
sior er Erwin, while digging pota-
toes on his mothers farm at the
But'es uuearthed $Io gold piece
of the California mintage OF I84o
He surmised and SO did others,
tina. there might be m.re gold ID
the same vicinity. Miners. en-
route 10 and from the California
gold fields in the days of '4o used
to make the spot stopping place.
The idea seized the commissioner
that a bag of gold might have been
lost there in the old time by some
careless miner. For this treasure,
the com missioner sought. In that
particular spot he dug pora' oes as
never mortal dug,before. He crors
dugside- drg, and dug deep. He 6ug
unuer, dug over, clrcled 10 the
right and swung the left-hand lady
in his wild search. His brother
Tim, says that when Richard got
through with the hunt for the
treasure, that the hole hehadmaIe
wasbig enough to bury a horse IN.
However, he found no more gold
pieces.
But Brother James did. He too,
has had an eye on the treasure
spot ever since the com mmissioner
made the find. When ploughing
he always rests his team at the spot
Recently, as he sat on the plow
beam and ''rubbered" a piece of
glittering gold met his eyes. 1t
had been under the clod be had
Just kicked over. Sure enough, it
was $40 gold piece: not of the
kind his brother had found, but
of the regular mlntage and bea. ing
date Of 1851. That it had dropped
there with the other piece, there
was no doubt. That there must
be more of then seemed certain.
James began to see things. He
was glad he was alone SO there
would be nobody else to claim the
gold pieces he began to huat FIR.
He chased, side. stepped and ball
anced on the corner while he claw
ed dirt. He kept up the process
until all the dirt in the vicinity
had been overhauled. After he
gave up the search by hand, he
brought the plow into use and ev-
cry time he furrowed the spot he
sent the plow in up to the beam.
George Garrett was let into the sec
ret and he, too, ran the plow in
as deep as the beam would
let it go.
But no more gold pieces were
found, They are there, though,
Jim firmly believes, and there
is no doubt that as time speeds
along the charmed spot and the
dirt thereabout will get many

farmer works in the vicinity.

Each company is compelled to
submit to the secretary OF state an
exact report of all business trans
acted and from these reports the
following statistics have been COM
piled.
r. sidents of the state of Oregon
during the year 1902 collected the
sum Of $259, ,o24.97 as the result OF
deaths. This sum was paid to the
people bv Is companies. two OF a
total of II companies operating not
Being called upon to allow claim.
The largest losses were paid by the
New York Life Insurance COMPANY
which distributed $4423S 72. The
Penn Mutual was close behind in
this race, having paid out $43,57o.
During 1872 the insurance writ
ten" or issued in the state of Ore
90, amounted TO $7,S12,7o3. Only
one company out of II tell below
S1o.e o, in the total o. policies is-
sued, and but one climbed above
the, million mark. The latter was
the Penn Mutual. The Equitable
Company approached very close to
the gigantic figure of s1,ooo,ooo,
having $91S, SIT on its books for
tbs hu. in SIS of tie year in Oregon.
But three tell below 81, 100000, and
six went ovey the half million.
Cane Il tions for the year amount
ed So, ,452,2S3, no one company
mounting to the $5oo,ooo total in
this particular, but all standing
fairly even in the ce.
Over the figures OF the grand. to-
tai for 1901 there was gain dur
ing 1902 Of $4,428,242 in the a.
mount of insurance outstanding In
the state.
At the rate Of $1,000 per head,
this total would have required that
policies were taken out by 4, ,429 per-
Sous, and had thu policies been
written at 5000 each, still must
have 8S6 persons been talked into
the belief that the future Of rela-
tives or friends demanded provision
for their maintenance in case of the
testator's demise.
Rating the policies at 81 900 each
and the number of persons to whom
they were at 4, 429. it will be seen
that the total of S259,o24 81 paid
by the compa MES on deaths during
the year would have amounted to
just 1854 per new. policy holder.

Baker City. Or, March 25.-Ow-
ing to the publicity given the muir
der of Miss Minnie Ensminger at
the hands Of Pleasant Armstrong,
Christmas morning, at Haines, the
officers of the Baker county circuit
court are having considerable
trouble in securing q jury. Arm
strong's attorney, George Bently.
was unsuccessful in securing a
venue. He furnished affidavits
from citizens of the county. all of
which recited that the feeling a.
gainst the prisoner was too great at
this time tor him to secure a fair
and impartial trial, and they be-
lieyed it to the best interests of the
defendant and all concerned that
he be taken elsewhere. The pros
ecution opened up its batteries up
on the subject, also supported by
affidavite, and Armstrong; chan
cts, if he had any. were waited upon
the beeezes.
Since being brought back from
the Multnomah county Jail he has
been confined in the county Jail
here. Rumors have been current
at different times that the Haines-
ties would yet make another at
tempt at lynching, but the Office OF
Sheriff Brown is plentifully stock
ed with Winchesters, and the depu-
ties aver they will protect the pris-
oner until after the trial. When
the case was called in the court
room Monday afternoon the apart
ment was packed. People for miles
around came into the city for the
sole purpose Of being present. Ac-
commodations were provided for a
number, and then the court order
ed all unable to secure seats must
remain without. The regular jury
panel was about exhausted. Only
II names remained. The court
spent the afternoon examining these
men, and in the end accepted but
one.
Yesterday Judge Eakin issued a
special venire for 40 jurors, all re-
siding in the northeastern portion
of the county, in the panhandle
country, Pine and Eagle Valleys.
These cannot reach the court until
tomorrow. and it is expected a day
or two will be taken with the ex.
animation. J. Armstrong and Grant
Armstrong, brothers of the murder
er, are in the city from their home
at Dayton, Wash, as is also the as
scciate counsel, Judge NJ. M. Good.
man. Judge Goodman has served
upon the bench in Washington and
is looked upon as criminal barris-
Ter of ability. The prosecution is
represented by District Attorney
White. The defense promises tc
make some startling disclosures al
the trial, and solicitors for Arm
strong exhibit most tranquil coun-
! tenances.
