Weed, about 90 miles southwest of
Roswell, were brought here today by
a man and his son who live in that
vicinity and heard all the details at
first hand from the mouths of those
who survived and the ones who took
the leading parts.
In the tragedy. Wash Parker, a good
and well known man, was ambushed
and murdered last Sunday afternoon,
and Tom Gentry, a young man of that
n~eighborhood, was killed the follow
ing Tuesday, when the officers tried
to arrest him, accused of the murder.
Parker had been t. Roswell with
his mohair and sold it to Jaffa and
Prayer, receiving in payment a check
for over $500. He was supposed to
have the money for his goat clip with
him, and this is supposed to have
been the object of the man who muir
dered him But instead Of taking this
large sum home, Mr.. Parker deposit
ed it with the First National Bank
here and it is safe.
He was riding home with two men
of that neighborhood, Daugherty and
Dennis. and left them at Chimney
Lake Draw, where their ways separa-
ted. AT two miles above that point,
and two miles this side of Pains
place on the Weed road, was where
the murder occurred. His body was
found in the road with bullet hoes
made by shots from a 80 calibre Win
chester. two in the body at the side
of the stomach and one in The back
of the head. From evidences, 1t was
judged that he was killed at about
four O'Clock Sunday afternoon. His
pockets were wrong side out and had
been rifed of all but $1.6O that was
overlooked in the fold of one of the
pockets.
From a neal by tree a limb had
been jerked and dragged a considera-
bic distance by a horse. This was
supposed to have been the steed of
the man who fired the shots, and it

ing. These tracks were easily fol
lowed, by Deputy Sheriff Lee Green
and his posse, there being one shoe
on the horse that was of peculiar
shape. The tracks led to the store of

The people at the store n p~ostofice
had seen Gentry and had noted his
as being suspicious. He had
been at the store for tobacco and
kept his hand on his revolver.
The track with the peculiar shoe
was shown to be that Of one of the
horses at the Munson place. All of
these things were brought out in the
over Parker's remains, which |
held by Justice Harbert, and

Gentry.

Will Run Line Down North Bank of
Columba-To Be Built as Rapidly
as Possible-WilI Give Both Roads
First Class Entrance to the Oregon
City-23o Miles-cost $13,ooooo0.

President Howard Elliott of the Nor
thern Pacific railway has made public
the fact that a road to be built and
operated Jointly by the Northern Pa
citic and the Great Northern is to be
constructed down the north bank Of
the Columbia river from Pasco, Wash.
the point where the Northern Pacific
crosses the Columbia river in eastern
Washington-to Vancouver, Wash.
and from the latter place, spanning
the Columbia and Willamette rivers,
to Portland.
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific Railway companies have or
ganized and own jointly the Portland
& Seattle Railway company. That
company will build a railroad as
rapidly as men and material will per-
init, from Kennewick, opposite Pasco,
along the north bank of the Columbia
river to Vancouver. Bridges over the
Columbia and Willamette rivers will
be built from \ ancouver to a connec-
ton with the present line of the North
ern Pacific, north of Portland. When
the railroad and bridges are finished
they will give the Great northern
and Northern Pacific a first class en-
trance to Portland and direct line to
and from the east. The line is 230
miles long and saves 164 miles. Work
will begin at once and the road will be
finished quickly.
Unofficial estimates place the cost
at approximately S12000,000. This
money will, in large measure, be ex-
pended in Portland, Tacoma and Spo-
kane.

Ing the Tartars, who continue to raw
age the countryside without regard
to station. The troops are so badly
scared by the rioters that they refuse

armed Tartars, who occasionally ap-
proach the barracks. During the past
"A hours armed bodies of Tartars have

district and at the present time few
remain standing.
NO one can estimate the loss, which
will run into the millions. An esti-

Although Mr.. Rockefeller states that
absolute fairness in dealing with en-
ployes is the reason that the Standard
Oil company is never annoyed by
strikes, there is another contributory
cause which Mr.. Rockefeller did not
mention. This is the existence of an
organization of which the public hith-
erto knew nothing. 1t is the intelli-
gence bureau of the Standard Oil
There are SO men in it, four station
ed in Cleveland and the other 81 scat
tered all over the world, the majority
being in the United States. Among
other things, it is their duty to mix
with the men employed by the Stand
ard Oil company in all of it's DEPART
ments. This they do to keep watch
for labor agitators. Whenever a labor
agitator arrives in any of the Stand
ards plants the intelligence men get
his confidence. If found necessary the
