TWO ARE KILLED
BY TILTED LOVER
ROSCOE JAMES SHOT
GIRL AND HIMSELF
Son of Superintendent c. w. James
Of Oregon Penitentiary Shot Grace
Disney and Then Sent Bullet Into
His Own Brain-Crime Committed
on Streets OF Portland in Presence
of James Successful Rival, Hal
Reed.

Portland, April 1.-Roscoe Jam IS,
son of Superintendent c. ". Jam IS
Of the Oregon penitentiary, last night
shot and killed Grace Disney, his for.
mer sweetheart, because she Tilted
him. He then put a bullet through
bis own brain and died at ST. Vim
cents hospital this morning.
The shooting occurred last night
when James met Miss Disney and Hal
Reed, his successful rival, on the
street, and without word sent a bull
let through the girls heart, death
following instantly. He turned the
smoking revolver Upon himself AMI
sent bullet into his forehead, but
fingered until this morning.
James and the girl had kept COM
pany for some time and it is report
ed were engaged when she Tilted him
and began keeping company with
Reed. Young James had made re-
peated overtures to her but failed to
win back her affections and became
frantic at the success of Reed.
All the young people interested
were well known.

From Chicago to the seaboard.

Chicago, April Increased rates
on grain and grain products from
Chicago to the seaboard were put in
to effect by the railroads today. The
rate during the past two years has
ranged from 13 1-2 to Is cents a
hundred. The new rates are from
II 1-2 to 10 cents. While the in
creased cost of operation is given by
the railroads as the reason for the
increase in rates 1t is generally be-
lieved that the action they have TAX
en- Is meant as counter blow for the
adverse railroad legislation recently
passed in so many states. 1t is be-
lieved furthermore that thi increase
Is but forerunner of a general ad-
vance in rates to be made by the
roads throughout the entire country.

Today the dipping provision of the
recently enacted sheep law goes into
effect, and stockmen desiring to dip
may now do so under the supervision
of the federal or state inspectors. At
the federal inspection headquarters in
the Smith-Crawford building, DR.. S.
w. Mcclure, head of the federal in
spection, DR.. w. H. Lytle, state sheep
inspector, and numerous federal depu-
ties were gathered this forenoon.
However, no calls had yet been receiv-
ed from sheepmen, and in the opinion
of DR.. Mcclure there will be little
doing for couple of weeks yet.
The work of selecting the county in
spectors for eastern Oregon is now on
and according to the state inspector,
they will be announced shortly. In
each of the three districts in the state
the commissioner suggests the depu-
ties for the counties of his district and
the appointments are made by the
state inspector. Thus far no appoint
ments have been made in eastern Or
egon, excepting that of John Bryant,
who will be continued as inspector in
this county.
The appointment of the following
western Oregon inspectors has been
recommended by Commissioner
Steusloff:
Marion county, Edward Ziegler. of
Gervais; Benton and Lincoln, Peter
Whitaker, of Corvallis; Polk, C. NJ.
Lewis and G. T. Boothby. of Mon
mouth; Lane, DIR. j. Christy, of Eu-
gene; Douglas, Ben F. Riddles and
DR.. Hunt, of Oakland; Washington,
John W. Sewall; Linn, Lee Miller, of
Albany, and j. c. Davis of Shedd;
Jackson and Josephine, C. E. Tull, of
Medford; Yamhill, DR.. Mum, of Nc
Minnville.
That the Willamette valley flock
owners have been prompted to imi-
tate their eastern Oregon brethren in
the idea of having an association, is
a special dispatch from Salem:
The Willamette Valley Wool Crow
ers' association is to be one of the re-
suits of a recent conference of the
State Sheep Commissioners, the plans
of which were made public tonight by
Commissioner w. H. Steusloff. He
said:
"The sheepmen should organize. as
they have much to gain by it, and lit
tie if anything to lose. One of the
subjects that should engage the at
tention of the sheepmen of Western
oregon is the raising of the standard
of the species. in other words, to raise
a better grade of sheep, and thereby
get a considerable advance in prices.
''There is a good demand for sheep,
but we of western oregon have not
given the matter as much attention as
We ought. They could also obtain bet
ter prices for their wool. and be in
a position to keep closer watch on
the Quotations and changes in the
market. These associations are also
in that matters of legislation
can be discussed thoroughly in an in
telligent manner and the interests Of
the industry promoted as well as safe
guarded"

DRAWING JURY IN WARNER CASE
Special Prosecutor in Charge-Judge
Bean Is Not We'll,

At $3.50 this afternoon 10 of the Il
Jurors in the Warner case had beer
secured as follows: w. p. Temple
d. c. Brownell. A. Ruppe, H. II. Gil
bert, Charles Vinson. S. A. Alloway
S. p. Shaw. j. r. Porter, w w. Ather-
ton, Amos Richardson.
Mrs. Mabel Young Warner is now
on trial here and the above men have
been selected to sit on the jury which
Is to try her case. The case was call
ed at 1880 this afternoon and the selec-
tion of jury was taken up Immediate
ly Messrs. Winter & Collier appear
for the defendant. while Judge James
A. Fee represented the state, both
Messrs. McCourt and Phelps being
barred from the case through the fact
that the latter is to be a witness.
Judge Not Well.
For time this morning II was
feared Judge H. ]. Bean would be un-
able to hold court today because Of
illness. He was suffering from A
somewhat severe case of grip and
early in the forenoon did not expect
to be able to attend. However, he
rallied and at 10 o'clock was upon the
bench. An adjournment was at once
taken until 1880 however.
From the number Of cases now on
the docket the present term promises
to be a long one and several days
will doubtless be consumed with the
Warner case.

Stifle says II the situation is not sat-

1t is reported that officials of the
American Federation have been here

so as to be able to control II when
the clash came. The Federation and
International association each claims
some authority over the local unions of

HERM|ST0N SAYS HANDS OFF" ON
SALOON QUESTION

What promises to be somewhat
bitter contention between Hermiston
and Echo has developed In the move-
ment to start a number Of saloons at
Hermiston. Because of the fact that
Hermiston is not incorporated sigma
lures from anywhere in Echo pre-
cinct in which Hermiston is located
are available on the petitions for IL
quor license. and while n large per-
centage of the people In Hermlston
do not desire saloons there, yet as a
large number Of names are being Sc
cured on the petitions in the vicin-
ity Of Echo, 1t is thought likely that
the petitions will be granted.

Pittsburg. Pa, April 1.-The new

an advance of from to 10 per cent
over the old schedule. went into ef-
tect today. The coal companies in
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and Ohio are affected.
Increased cost of operation is given
by the railroads as the reason for
the advance in rates. A slight addi-
ton to the price of coal will prob
ably result from the advance in rail-
road rates.

1t is repcr rted that several reti-
tions for saloons in Hermiston are
now being circulated freely in the
vicinity of Echo which has aroused
the people of Hermiston somewhat
ana strong remonstrances agairst
these petitions will be signed by the
people In and around Hermiston.
1t is thought that a majority of
the people in the entire precinct in
1hiding the town Of Echo can be Sc
cured On the petitions. but the peo-
pie Of Hermiston will stand for local
seif-government and will make a
strohg fight against the petitions be-
fore the county court.
