We walked back through the office, and as we
passed the bench upon which the boys sat, Dawson
stopped before the boy who had delivered the tele

The lad went off on his Grand, and in a few min

with smile of recognition
Yep" said Dawson laconically, he leaned

The buttons returned and delivered the KEY
of Sir Henry Darlingtons apartment into the hands
of William Dawson, ex-detective.
Ten minutes later sat in Room 4o7, l in blue

"Real?" laughed Dawson. Yes; he's a real

VIII Fix Boundary Line.

This mornings Albany Herald
says:
An attempt will be made by the
Linn and Marion county courts to
definitely fix the boundary line be-
tween the two counties. The line
was fixed two years ago by mutual
agreement, and when presented to
the legislature passed. but was
killed by Governor Chamberlain S
veto. Now Linn county and Marion
county will make another effort to
have the line established and proved
by the governor.
The statute defining the boundary
line says that the line shall follow
the channel of the North Santiam
river until it strikes the mountains,
and then runs due east" The ques-
tion which has always presented
itself is just where the line strikes
the mountains. but mutual consent
has agreed that the line shall extend
as far as the country is settled. When
the two county courts fixed up the
matter two years ago the line was
run up the Santiam to the mouth
of Whitewater creek, and up that
creek to its source on Mount Jeffer-
son, making the mountain the north
eastern corner of Linn county, and
the southeastern corner of Marion
county. 1t is probable that the new
bill to be sent to the legislature will
be like the one originally presented.

BRUTAL
MURDER
in CROOK
C0mpels Wife to Help Carry
Body of Husband and
Then Assaults Her

A dispatch from Prineville Tues
day to The Dalles Chronicle says
Further details of the murder of
F. b. Zell Monday morning, about
25 miles from Prineville. or within
five miles of Bend, proves it to be
far more cold-blooded than first re-
ports indicated.
Instead of Sunday night the mur-
der occurred Monday morning at
4:30, and the murderer was hired
man. named Fred Shepherd. Accord
ing to Investigations made by the
coroner's Jury, Zell and Shepherd
had trouble over wages about fort
night ago. since which time Shep-
herd has threatened to kill his en-
ployer, who gave little heed to his
threat.
Monday morning Shepherd walked
into the room, where the Zells were
sleeping, and ordered them to hold
up their hands. They pleaded to be
"iio"Ou " SCI UP anu uTeSS anu
then discuss the matter with him.
After arising they had a hard tussle
with him, during which he threw a
rope to Mrs. Zell. and ordered her
to help tie her husband. She re-
fused, and finally they succeeded in
escaping to the yard, and started for
the barn, Shepherd firing two shots
as they ran, the last shot being fired
as they entered the door of the
barn, where Zell fell. An old man
who is nicknamed Dakota" slept in
the barn, and as they entered scream
ing, Hes after u.s." Dakota ran
out of the door and over to a neigh
boris for. assistance.
The murderer compelled Mrs. Zell
to assist him in carrying her husband
into the house, and, when this was
accomplished. turned upon the wo-
man and assaulted her. He extract
ed a promise from the woman not
to tell that he killed her husband,
but to say old Dakota" did it, To
escape him she promised. and final
ly succeeded in getting out of doors.
when she rushed to secure help.
When she returned, together with
Dakota and the neighbors, they
found Shepherd walking about the
house where the dead man lay,
whistling unconcernedly. Mrs. Zell
denounced him, and he was taken in
charge until an officer arrived and
brought him to Prineyille. He was
held under a charge of murder in
the first degree. 1t was also proven
that Shepherd used Zell's rife, which
he stole just after the quarrel to
commit the murder with.
The body of the murdered man
was also taken to the home of rela-
tives in Prineville, where burial will
take place.
