walkover for the Hood River boys,

this half, the throwing of Baker being

In the second half the visitors

and the game ended by Hood River

ONO this morning sent a communi-
cation to Chief Waller along with
a bundle Of report cards.
The communication says that the
commission has adopted the card
system and expects each officer to
turn In one each day to the police
clerk. There is place to sign his
name when he relieves a man on
a beat. Patrolmen must not leave
their beats until relieved and If
for any cause they are called off,
must make report of it on the next
card turned in The commission
expects officers to use common
sense about making arrests. Pc
licemen must not try to make rec
ords for themselves as the board
realizes that some officers in out
lying districts will not have the
same opportunities for numerous
arrests as those in the congested
districts.
On the cards must be reported
the arrests made, the special calls
answered, fires on beat, fire alarms
turned in, when relieved and the
time Of relief. There Is also a
space for special reports.

LOVERS TRAGEDY SECRET
OF THE WILD ACKNOWLEDGES

UTICA, n. Y, Aug. 31.-The tall
pines that embroider the uneven
shores of Big Moose lake, in the
widest section of the Adirondack
mountains, murmur and sigh in the
long dark nights over the story OF
a strange. unnatural human trag-
edy. A young girl is dead, perhaps
the victim of the diabolical treach-
cry of the man she loved and trust
ed. A dashing young fellow is in
iail. charged with his sweethearts
murder.
Chester Gillette came from Seat
tie. Wash, a couple of years ago,
to enter the business of n. H. Gil
lette, his uncle, wealthy shirt
manufa cturer of Cortland. He was
handsome, gay, and spent money
freely, becoming a popular beau
among the young women. He was
the teacher of a class of them in a
Sunday school there. 1t has been
reported and denied that he was en-
gagged to marry Miss Nettie Bene-
dict. daughter of a prominent law
yer of this city. At any rate, he
called upon her often.
Very naturally Gillette appealed
strongly to the immature magma
ton of Miss Grace Brown. daughter
of Frank B. Brown, respected
farmer of South Otselic She was
20. had light brown hair in great
mop over her forehead, was slight,
winsome and a favorite with the
farmer lads. They called her
BILLY" Brown. Grace worked in
the shirt factory of the Gillettes.
Flattered by Chester's constant at
tentions. she gave him her conf
dence. He basely betrayed her
trust.
When the present hot season
dawned upon the shirt factory, the
girl told her wondering friends that
she was going home for a short
holiday. Shirtmakers do not take
vacations as a rule. Her parents
greeted her delightedly, but they
noticed she had some hidden sor-

row. There was frequent CORE
spondence between her and Gillett.
Being pressed by her mother she
said that she was engaged to mar
ry the young man. She busted her
self making a wardrobe.
She returned to Cortland, but did
not go to work. Gillette then an
nounced that he would take his
vacation in the mountains. The
girl left with him.

distorted body was picked up by
woodsmen on the bank of Big
Moose lake. Physicians said that
the girl might have died before her
body entered the water. An up
turned boat was found in a dark,
lonely cove near the scene.
District Attorney Ward and the
sheriff's men soon learned that
Gillette had been with the girl in
the boat, and at last located him
as he sat lazily dreaming on the
piazza of summer hotel on Fourth

mean it,"
Yes said the officer, " and you
are my prisoner charged with her
murder"
Gillette dropped the small cam
era he held in his hand. He, to
this day, has shown no further
emotion. Later in the afternoon of
his arrest he said that he had
taken the girl out for a row on the
lake. He dropped his hat in the
water and the boat overturned
while he was trying to recover it.
He righted the boat and chung to
it. She lost her grasp and went
down. 1t was only an accident, he
contends.
