DEATH RATHER
THAN DISGRACE
Bodies of Married Man and a
Sixteen -Year-Old Girl Are
Found Near a Deep Pool
PLANNED TO ELOPE
Guilty Pair, Fearing the Re-
suits of Exposure, Decide
to End Life by Drowning
Special Dispatch to The Call.


ROSEBURG, Or, July 12.-The bodies
of William Ford and Emily Bogard
clasped in an embrace that was sever
ed with the greatest difficulty, were
found washed upon a bar in stream
five miles below Millwood in Douglass
County this afternoon. The condition
of the remains showed that they had
been in the water but a short time.
Ford was a married man, aged about
30, and Emily BOgard was a girl of 16.
1t Is the, general belief that the couple
started to elope and fearing that cap
ture would result in disgrace to both,
they plunged into a deep pool in the
stream and were drowned.
The girl was missed from her home
this morning. She had gone avowedly
to the woods to gather berries. There
have been numerous scares Of late
from mountain lions. which have be-
come very bold, and when Emily did
not return in good season the alarm
was given and the neighbors turned
out to beat the woods. 1t was while
searching the woods that news was
brought of the finding of the bodies.
The girl is the niece of Deputy Sheriff
Bogard of Douglass County. Coroner
Mitchell has been notified by telephone
and will repair to the scene and hold
an inquest tomorrow.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Louis NJ.
Gardner of Milwaukee. Wis, a trapeze
performer, whose back was broken
three years ago by a fall during an
exhibition in London, has arrived
here. He is being taken back to his
old home, after having been treated
by the best European specialists, who,
however. gave no hope for his recov-
cry.
Gardeners fall in the London Circus
was witnessed by a well known bank
er of New York. The performer, al
though badly stunned for a moment,
was so cool over his misfortune that
the banker became interested and
gave directions that a nurse be en-
ployed and the young man treated re-
gardless of expense. His directions
were followed and during the last
three years every effort has been made
to patch up the injured spine. but the
surgeons finally declared that it could
not be accomplished.
An agent of the banker was at the
pier when the steamer arrived to di-
rect the handling of the stretcher
upon which the cripple lay.

The party came to Eureka, where an
informal reception awaited the guests.
1t was natural that the party should be
tired when they reached Eureka. A
stage ride of forty-five miles in one
day over mountain roads is no joke.
But that tired feeling disappeared
when the band commenced to play. Not
only did the people of Eureka have a
band to welcome the party, but spe-
cial electric car. gayly decorated and
brilliant with electric effects, to con-
vey them to the Hotel Vance, where
they will be the guests of Mr.. Dough-

the comfort Of all.
Everything in this city, of 11.0O0 in
habitants, appears anxious to be at the
service of the Promotion Committee
excursionists.
Tomorrow the surrounding country
will be visited under the guidance of
the Chamber of Commerce of Eureka.
There is ne programme for tonight.
The local committee, with rare judg-
ment and foresight thought it best to
let the visitors rest. All will sleep with
visions of giant redwoods, stage
drives, fog effects. bands playing, bril-
liant electric cars, hospitable people
and at last real bed. Arriving at their
rooms each member found his baggage
awaiting him and also cards of ad-
mission to the Humboldt Club, as well
as all sorts of invitations to banquets
and functions prepared in their honor.

SCHEME TO DEFRAUD
GOVERNMENT EXPOSED
Arrest of Wireless Operator Leads to
Discovery of Plan of Gang of



NEW YORK, July 12-Behind the
arrest of the wireless telegraph op-
orator and a hospital steward employ
ed on one of the largest transatlantic
liners. charged with smuggling Suma-
ira tobacco, the customs officials claim
to have unearthed a new and ingenious
method of smuggling diamonds. silks.
tobacco and other merchandise which
should pay a high duty.
Trunks containing the merchandise
which the conspirators arranged to
smuggle into the United States are,
under the scheme, said to have been
in use, marked with private mark
and placed with the hundreds of other
trunks owned by passengers. On ar
rival at this port the confederates of
the smugglers on board the ship were
in a position to reach the baggage and
upon the trunks of the smugglers they
pasted the special label, indicating that
an Inspector had examined the contents
of the trunk and found nothing dutia-
bic therein. When the customs Off
cials came across a trunk with such a
label on it they passed on. The trunk
was then carried to the pier and pass
ed into the hands of its owners
To get these labels was the first re-
quisite of the successful prosecution of
the new method. They may have been
printed and placed in the hands of men
who could affix them to the trunks or
they may have been washed off trunks
properly passed by eXpressmen who are
emplOyed to transport them from the
piers.
In a single trunk passed by the dupli-
cate label system a Smuggler might
bring into America enough diamonds
to make him independently wealthy.
