train at Clio and while the train was
 was a fusilade of shots. Godfrey re- ceived three bullet wounds. One en- tered the back of his head, and two leaden bullets plowed their way into his right hip, shattering his intes- tnes. He dropped to the ground and died at the feet of his friend, w. D.
 just shaken hands with Godfrey.
 McEWen, the Texas vocal teacher. alighted from the same car and was passing the two men, when he receiv- ed several bullest in his abdomen. He also feli to the ground dead man. Bush was only a short distance a load of buckshot in his back. He ran up the railroad track and when
 last seen was about a quarter of a mile away, still running. Later his coat, perforated with shot, was found half mile up the track, but up to a late hour this afternoon Bush had not |been found. His wounds are known to be fatal 1t is thought that he threw off his coat, becoming almost exhausted and feverish from his in iuries.
 The news of the tragedy reached Pine Bluff shortly after it occurred. The young man who went to Clio Bluff on the local freight an hour |later and another man came ill from Clio and told as much as he knew of thes tragedy. The young telegraph
 CT was badly frightened, but he re- turned to Clio this morning.
 Mir. Pugh of the Holderness-Fitz- hugh Company, went to Clio on the midnight train to take charge of the
 body of Godfrey. He brought the body
 here today at noon and it will be pre- ,, pared for interment and shipped to
 Ola. La, tonight. No one seems to i, know anything of the whereabouts Of
 Bush, who is believed to be dead. The
 body of McEwen was taken in charge
 by the members of the Woodmen Of the World, of Grapevine, Grant coun-
 ty, of which order he was a member,
 and will probably be shipped to Tex
 as for burial. Little is known at Cll"
 of McEwen. He visited that place
 frequently and taught vocal music. He was making one of his visits there (Continued on Page Four.)

TWO MURDERED
 ONE |S MISSING 
 Three Men Believed to Have Been Assassinated at Clio Last Night-Tom God frey and Vocalist Dead c. l.. BUSH ALSO SHOT Bert Mccartney and His Wife Are Suspected With Othcrs-No Ar- rests Have Been Madc-My>tcr, About Triple Trn.ed,


 Tom Godfrey. an employe~. of the Bluff City Lumber Company al >CHo and A. R. McEwen, a vocal teacher from Throgmorton, Texas, were shot and instantly killed. and Clarence l.. Bush. former agent for the Cotton Belt road at Clio is believed 10 have been also murdered at Clio, a station eighteen miles south Of this city/yes- terday afternoon by unknown parties. Bush is smissing. but his opcTcoat with several buckshot holes in 1t to indi- cate that he was mortally wounded, was found shortly afterward near the scene of the shooting
 It is stated tha, the three men were assassinatcd as they alighted from the No. , southbound Cotton Belt train at Clio yes erday afternoon. McEwen was an innocent bystander and was shot to death at the same time the other two men were fired upon No arrests have been made There are all kinds of rumors in circulation here. but no definite information can nbe secured from the scene of the triple tragedy, as there seems to be a disposition OH the part of the witness es and others to shield those who did the shooting No one has told the story. Every one, questioned. claims to know nothing of the happening.
 The triple tragedy is the outcome of figh;, which occurred at Clio last Wednesday. when Bush and Bert Me Cartney, superintendent of the Grant Lumber Company's plant in Grant county, near Clio. had a difficulty. The men had previously been at outs and Godfrey. another victim of yes terday's tragedy, is known to have been present. Godfrey and Bush were intimate friends. In the fight Bush badly wOrsted Mccartney, clubbing him over the head with revolver and laying him up for 6wo days. After the trouble Bush and Godfrey came to Pine Bluff to avoid further trouble. The next day Sheriff Ira Moore of Cleveland county came here with warrants for the arrest of God frey and Bush. They were each charged with assault with intent to kill Godfrey made bond here, but Bush went back to Clio with the sher- tiff, giving bond there. When he was released, he returned to Pine Bluff and remained in the city with Godfrey un- til yesterday afternoon when they took their last ride to Clio. Bush, it is said, decided to give up his job as railroad agent. He said he would re- turn there yesterday afternoon to get his clothes and move away as he feared further trouble and wanted to go elsewhere and work. Tom God frey made up his mind to go with him, some evidence to assist him at his trial. He declared that he was not implicated in the fight between Bush and Mccartney, but did witness it.
 The two men left this city yester day afternoon on the southbound Cot ton Belt passenger They were ac- companied to Clio by young man of this city whose name could g not be learned but who was to succeed Bush as telegrapher and agent there. As soon as the men alighted from the

they are looking into the plan OF hay

Grants Pass by boat rather than from
West Fork by paok horses over
mountain trail. Mule Creek
district has very indication OF becom-
ing a rich mining section and its
trade will be worth looking after by
Grants Pass and it would be well for
the Commercial Club to take up the
matter of having the channel OF
Rogue river so improved as TO make
it possible to operate large boats on it
and make this city the shipping point
for all heavy freight for all points
down the river. Mr.. Thurner and Mr.
Aubery are confident that by expend-
ing 5000 in clearing the bouders out
of the. rapids that Rogue river can be
navigated for eight months each year
by boats large enough to carry all
kinds of mining machinery and sup
plies and that a protfble trade could
be built up for Grants Pass.

FRUIT GROWERS TO
DISCUSS ORCHARD WORK
Will Meet This Saturday and
Compare Successes and
Failures.

The fruit growers meeting this
Saturday at the Court House will be
strictly an experience meeting, for the
farmers will each tell of their sue
cesses and failures in fruit raising.
There will be no speakers from
abroad and the topics to be discussed
will be presented by the fruit growers
themselves and al will be expected to
take part in the discussions and to
ask such questions as they may de-
sire. Such meeting as this will be
very helpful to the. fruit growers, for
in their orchard work each has studied
local conditions aud learned many
facts pertaining to location, soil,
cultivation, pruning, spraying, thin
ming and the features of growing
fruit. For beginner to gain this
knowledge through the hard school of
experience means a loss of much time
and the expenditure of many dollars.
At a meeting like that of this Satur-
day the beginner can have the be..etit
of the knowledge of those posted in
the fruit business and then be able to
avoid many of the obstacles that are to
be encountered from the time the land
is selected until the fruit is marketed.
1t is to the interest of the business
men of Grants Pass to attend this
meeting for their presence will do

County ordered resale OF the Med

sold at the front door Of the court
house in Jacksonville. The purchaser
is George Estes, capitalist OF Port
land, representing business and rail-
roadmen of that city. The first sale
Of the road was made to Dewing q
Co., OF Michigan. the price bid being
S62, 700 but DI. J. f. Reddy imme-
diately after the sale stated that he
had a bid OF $40. 900, for the road and
that he would ask the court to deny a
confirmation Of the sale. This was
done and the court made an order
directing the receiver to offer the
road again, resulting in sale OF the
road to George Estes for $S2, 500.
This is generally conceded to be
more than the road is worth, but the
purchasers represent that il is their
purpose to build into the klamath
country and secure that trade for the
Portland merchants. The road under
its new management. If the court
confirms the sale, which is entirely
