SO influenced the department of justice
at Washington in sending special men
here who could in nowise, politically
or personally, be interested In the
prosecution, except as cause of JUS
tice. The government claims that the
group of men who operated In Idaho
were one OF three groups who operated
in the west and whose prosecutions
have aroused such widespread inter-
est during the last two years. While
it is not to be denied that the Barber
Lumber company has secured posses
sion of the timber lands involved In
the present case. it will be claimed
that Senator Borah, acting as counsel
for the lumber company, had no part
in the conspiracy. If one existed, and
that he dealt only with the transfer
of the claims after their purchase had
been negotiated in legal manner.
William Sweet. one of the 13 indicted
men, is said to have turned states
evidence, and Is also reported In some
quarters to have repudiated the con-
fession. The reputation story is also
denied.

DEAD GIRL IN BIG TRUNK.
Murder Mystery in CHASTITY Find Near
Seattle WASH

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 24.-The body
Of an unknown girl about 10 years
old was found In trunk on the
beach at South Alki, about two and a
half miles south of Elliott bay. The
girl had evidently been strangled and
had been dead from two to FIVE days.
In the trunk were the girls clothing
and the clothing of a man and two
letters, one of which may lead to her
identity. This letter was that of sis
ter to brother. 1t was written On a
letter head Of ~. D. Covington, Fuel,
Feed and Hauling, st. Paul, MINI. y
and was signed Edith" 1t bears the
date of April II, 1905, and was en-
closed in a worn and unaddressed en-
velope. 1t was written to Frank Gov
ington. The other letter had no sig
nificance, as far as could be deciph-
cred.
When two men in a small launch
discovered it they drew it upon the
beach. In the tray were two rocks.
Lifting the tray, they saw woman's
head. They notified the police, and an
examination of the trunk revealed.
hidden under lot of clothes, the nude
body of a girl: A chemise was tied
taut around her neck and there was a
gag in her mouth An autopsy re-
yealed no marks of violence, except
that she had been strangled. No
motive was disclosed for the crime

married or had lover.

HOLD WAR FLEET TOGETHER.
Possible Reason for Bringing Fight
Ing Craft to the Pacific.

Inq Craft to the Pacific.
After all the guessing and specula-
ton is over. as to the motives which
impelled the president and majority
OF the naval general board to order the
battleship fleet to the Pacific, the con-
sensus of opinion is that several
causes contributed to bring about the
decision. A new factor which army
circles believe may have been one of
most Importance in influencing this ac-
ton, is found In the paragraph in the
report by Captain William A Judson,
corps of engineers. one OF the military
observers with the Russian army in
Manchuria during the last war. The
report has just been published by the
general staff and doubtless its con-
tents were known to the president.
In his report Captain Judson says:
ut is interesting also to reflect upon
what would have occurred If. at the
outbreak Of the war, the Russian fleet
in the far east had been limited to a
few protected cruisers, all battleships
being retained In home waters 1t is
quite evident that in such case, by the
summer of 1905 fleet might have
been dispatched to the theater of oper-
atoms with sufficient strength to
crush the Japanese beyond the ques-
ton Of doubt. Indeed, 1t cannot be
believed that the Japanese would have
precipitated war If the Russian army
and navy had not been scattered to
their liking. This is, to be sure, a
naval question, but strategy is much
the same on the land and on the sea,
and one is forced to wonder why we
maintain several battleships on the
Asiatic station subject to destruction
in case of sudden war"

JOHN D. TAKES THE HELM.
Rockefeller Hopes to Steer Oil Trust
Clear of Rocks.


New York, Sept. 25.-Things of one
kind or another have been happening
to the Standard Oil company and the
companies 1t is interested in SO fast in
the last few months that John D.
Rockefeller has decided it is time for
him to take hand, and it is learned
that he has been down at his Office
In the last two weeks, although be-
fore that he had not been down for
eight years.
He did good deal OF looking around
on these two occasions, and it is I'M
derstood that he is going to keep a
close watch on the management of the
company until several important mat
tiers are cleared up. This will not be
the case until a successor for Henry
H. Rogers. who has, been the active
head OF the organization for a long
time and who is now, it is conceded. to
retire permanently on account of his
health, has been chosen.

CHIMES CRUSH OUT HIS LIFE.
Bell Ringer Takes Fearful Revenge
on Pastor.

on Pastor.
Rome, Sept. 24.-Bound to the clap
per and crushed to death from the big
gest bell of the famous Malalbergo
chimes, the parson of the church from
which the notes sounded paid horribly
for wrecking the home of the bell ring
err, who comprised his punishment.
The murderer, still chuckling over his
victims fearful ending, awaits trial in
prison. His wife has gone mad with
horror.
Against the pastor there Is but one
witness-the ringer OF the chimes.
Going to the church loft to sound the
bells for the usual service, he sur
prised his wife and the pastor, he says,
in one another's arms. The pastor
stumbled and before he could regain
himself the bell ringer had seized and
tied him hand and foot to the clapper
of the principal bell and began to
sound the shurch chimes furiously
The murdered mans blood, streaming
upon them from the bell tower, cen
veyed the first news OF the tragedy to
the congregation. Hurrying up the
ladder to the loft they found the pas
tor with nearly every bone in his body
broken and the ringer still madly
crashing the bells.

5 CHINA TO BE DIVIDED !
WI Tuns Fang May Prevent Plans OF
Powers.

Is China confronted by a gigantic
struggle to preserve its territorial in
tegrity? Do the recent treaties en-
tered into with japan by Russia and
between Great Britain and France
have as an Interior object the parti-
ton of the empire, which the late Sec
rotary of state John Hay fought to the
day Of his death to prevent?
Such is the conjecture given rise to
by the Picking announcement that
former Minister WI Tung Fang is to
return to the land where he once lived
so greatly and from which he was
withdrawn because of his too ready
acceptance of American customs. ORR
entail advices are that WI lungs in

HORTON too QUICK
". F. CRAMER ATTEMPTED TO
SHOOT CAPT. HORTON.
Result Of Quarrel In Saloon at osburn,
idaho-cramer Ordered Drinks and
Was Refused on Account Of Sunday
Law--Jury Returned Verdict Of Self
pefense-Horton IL an oIdtimer.

Wallace, Idaho, Sept. 23.-W. F..
Cramer fell dead on the floor OF a
saloon in Osburn Sunday morning,
charge of lead from a shotgun enter
ing his open mouth, the slayer, Capt.
A. P. Horton, proving quicker in the
use of firearms than Cramer, who was
reaching for his pistol Horton, after
notifying the sheriff's Office Of the
tragedy, lathered his face and shaved
himself in the room where the dead
man lay and awaited the arrival of
the sheriff. The coroner's jury re-
turned verdict of self defense.
Cramer, who was better known In
this district as Cray Frenchy," met
his death in the saloon belonging to
Capt. A. P. Horton and William Os-
borne, at Osburn, between Wallace
ind Wardner. The full charge enter
ed Cramer's mouth, fractured the jaw
in at least five places and causing in
staneous death.
About 1880 O'Clock Cramer entered
the saloon and demanded drink from
Capt Horton, who was cleaning up.
Horton refused to give the drink, be-
cause, as he told the coroner's jury,
he had known Cramers character
when under the influence OF liquor,
and also because of the Sunday rest
law. Other evidence goes to show that
Cramer appears to have lost his tenn
per, and after smashing some glasses
on the floor reached for his gun,
which he carried in the inside pocket
of his waistcoat. Horton at the same
time reached for a shotgun under the
bar and discharged the contents in
Cramer's face, killing him instantly.
Horton says that "Frenchy" hated
him like poison and had often threat
ened to shoot him. and Horton there
fore did not care to take any chances.
Immediately after the shooting Hor-
ton himself notified the sherlff's de-
partment in Wallace, after which he
shaved himself in the room where
Cramer's body was lying on the floor
Six men were present at the time OF
the shooting, but none saw exactly
what had happened, as they we're play
ing cards and sitting with their backs
to the bar.
Captain Horton is one of the best
known characters in the district and
is pioneer OF the Occur d'Alenes
having come to this district in 1883
Early in the spring Of this year he
entered into partnership with VIII
liam Osborne in saloon at Osburn
He is now 81 years of age. Cramel
was Frenchman by birth, man Oh
good education. and came of an excel
drink habit. In spite Of the fact thai
he was shot with shotgun there is
practically not mark on his face, the
whole contents Of the charge entering
by the mouth without spreading.
