WOMAN IS SLAIN
IN BAKERSFIELD
SLAYER ESCAPES; PROBABLY
A BURGLAR
SHE HAD FIRED AT INTRUDER
Body of Mrs. Mary Van Dorse Found
Pierced BY Bullet When Her
Husband Returns Home
From Work

| BY Associated Press.
! BAKERSFIELD, July 9.-Mrs. Mary
Van Dorse was murdered at her home
early this morning by some unidenti-
one attempted to rob the house and
when she went to investigate the
burglar fired at her and killed her. AS
yet there is no clue to the person who
committed the crime. but the officers
are using every effort to find the gull
ty person.
At II last night Mrs. Van Dorse re-
turned to her home and retired, and
about o'clock this morning six shots
/ were fired near the place. When her
husband returned from work about
O'Clock he found her lying on the floor
at the entrance of the house.
She had bullet wound in her breast
and at that time had probably been
dead about an hour.
1t is thought that when she heard the
intruder she got her 22-caliber revol-
yer and went to the door and on seeing
him fired, but missed her mark.
1t is known that she fired one of the
| Shots because one of the chambers in
her revolver contained an empty car
fridge. When she fired the murderer
probably opened fire and one of the
five shots fired by him entered her
body The hi1llet which ala tha da, Al,
work entered the body just above the
left breast and lodged in the left lung.
Judging from the course the bullet
took. she must have been leaning out
of the door when she shot and the
murderer returned fire from the right.
This morning the officers found the
marks of the other shots, which had
entered the house near where the body
was found.

Rosen's attitude toward his predeces-

zeaIandia Arrives With First News
Since Wires Went Down in June
BY Associated Press.
SEATTLE, July 9.-Bringing the first
news out of Nome since the wires went
down the middle of last month, the
steamship Zealandia reached port from
the north today enroute to San Fran
cisco. Zealandia reports that all the
steamers of the Nome fleet concerning
which there has been much speculation
during the past week, are safe and that
the delay in their reaching Seattle on
their voyage was occasioned by eight
days of such severe weather as to make
It impossible to handle the cargo on the
lighters.
The storm came from the north and
piled up heavy sea, which tossed
about the steamers and sailing craft
anchored off Nome in a dangerous
manner.
The Zealandia brought eighty-five
passengers, all but eight of whom were
for Seattle, the remainder going to San
Francisco. She also brought out the
biggest Shipment Of gold which has
come from Nome this season, $1,S22, 900.
She sailed for San Francisco shortly
after midnight.
