SUICIDE AT SVENSEN
YESTERDAY
MRS. ROSE PFuND SACRIFICES
HER OWN LIFE BY HANGING
NO CAUSE ACKNOWLEDGMENT
ToDAY-MoTHER OF TEN.

Yesterday at noon the Coroners Of
flee in this city was notified by wire
of the death, by suicide, OF Mrs. Rose
Pfunder, wife OF John Pfunier, at
Svensen.
Coroner w. C. A. Pohl left for the
scene Of the unhappy tragedy on the
6:10 train last evening and found the
tale to be unhappily too true. 1t seems
that Mr.. Ffunder had left home at
o'clock yesterday morning, for Knapp
ton, on a business trip, and returned
during the afternoon, but could find
no trace of his wife. The baby was
asleep on the bed AMI ne sat down to
await the coming Of his wife, who, he
supposed, had gone to visit a neigh
Dor, but her protracted absence spurred
him to make a search for her. and
he found the wretched woman hang
ing by the neck, and dead, in small
clubhouse on the premises.
The authorities were at once noti-
fed and the body was left in its dis
NAL plight under the arrival Of Cor
oner Pohl, as indicated above. That
officer will return to Svensen this
morning and will probably hold an in
quest during the forenoon.
1t has been known for some time
that Mrs. Pfunder has been mentally
unbalanced and the rash act is gener-
ally attributed to some hallucination
Of the hour. She was the mother Of
ten children, all living, nine of them
been In the Svensen school when the
dreadful act was committed at their
home. The Pfunds are quite we'll to
do and thoroughly respected far and
wide in their neighborhood, and the
father and children have the SINGER
est sympathy Of the entire colony up
there. Mrs. Pfunder was in her forty
eighth year.
Notice Of the funeral will be an
nounced later.

Osteopathy.
Treats All Diseases.

What diseases can be successfully
treated by osteopathy?
Let the reader remember that every
part of the body gets its nutrition from
the circulating fluids, and the action
of each part is controlled by the
nerves. He will at once see that os-
teopathy, which deals with nerve and
blood supply as a specially is appli-
cable to all diseases. But no honest
osteopath will claim that all cases
can be cured. There are very few
diseases that cannot reach a stage be-
yond which cure is possible. On the
other hand, there are very few dis
cannot be cured. The osteopath en-
deavors to find and remove the first
cause or causes of the disease. With
this done the cure depends upon the
recuperative powers of the body. If
the diseased parts be not too far
destroyed or weakened the body again
builds them up and restores their
healthy action. A stomach wall COM
pletely SCARED from ulcers, a kidney
wasted and gone, a heart enlarged
and thickened nothing can cure. The
most that can be promised Is to
check and ease the condition. But in
the early stages of disease processes,
the causes removed, nature quickly
restores the organs and parts to
health and strength. This is the way
osteopathy makes its cures.

1.-THE electric roads in the vicinity
OF Los Angeles have simply built up
the country settlements until all along
the lines are now almost continuous
villages" said T. K. Beard, owner of
the Golden Rule hotel building in
this city, who is here from his home
in Modesto on a brief business visit.
Mr.. Beard believes that Pendleton
can do nothing of more value to the
city than to secure an extension Of
the proposed electric line from Hold
man to this city. The survey is al
ready made from Simmons Landing
on the Columbia river to Holdman
and he believes that the people of
this city and the surrounding coun-
try should never stop until the cars
are running into Pendleton.
where formerly the country set
Elements were light in the vicinity of
Los Angeles" said Mr.. Beard, "the
coming of the electric lines has built
up fine homes, stimulated settle
ment and brought good improve
rnents. People like to live in the
country where they have quick COM
with their trading CEN
ters and what has been true of the
Los Angeles district would be true
of lImatilla county.
while the country north of Pen
dleton does not now support heavy
population, 1t is capable of support
ing such and If electric lines were
constructed there it would doubtless
be thickly settled.
"There is no richer wheat land in
the west than that lying north of
Pendleton and the volume traffic
which an electric line would carry
out of that district would more than
Justify its construction, to say Moth
ing of the country home-building
which such line would stimulate.
$50 great is the business of the
country electric lines in the vicinity
of Los Angeles, that they run special
trains for country people returning
home late at night from theaters,
public meetings or other events in the
city. 1t seems to me that the people
of Pendleton and the surrounding
country should do everything possible
to bring the line from Holdman into
this CITY,"

lage and lodging Immediately under
the slSin?"
In reply to the question DR.. Blakes-
lee gave it as his opinion that the body
must have been in a STOPPING posi-
ton and leaning slightly to the left.
DIR. Smiths Opinion.
DR.. Smith was called and the same
hypothetical question put to him as
to DR.. Blakeslee. DR.. Smith said that,
the body would be as illustrated. The
doctor then took a position leaning
to the left and slightly STOPPING.
On cross-examination the witness
said that tissue might defect bullet
where 1t passed from soft tissue to
a harder one.
He said that 1t was not impossible
for a bullet striking the vertebra
to have been deflected upward. But
that the vertebrae were much softer
than most of the other bones and were
rather spongy and easily punctured.
DIR. Vincent Verifies Others.
The same question that was asked
DIR. Blakeslee and DIR. Smith was asked
DR.. F. w. Vincent In order for the
bullet to take the course described in
the question, DIR. Vincent said that the
body would be in a STOPPING position
at an angle of about As degrees, and
in illustrating assumed the same posi-
ton as had the previous medical ex-
perts.
DR.. Vincent said that the probability
of the bullet being DETECTED was not
very great, but that it might be chang
ed from its course. A great deal
would depend on the vertebrae. The
bullet might strike the vertebra,
glance around it, and shoot upward
back of the stomach.
DIR. W. G. Cole on the Stand.
DIR. w. G. Cole, after qualifying and
having read to him the same question
also testified that a man to have the
internal organs punctured in the man.
ner described would be in a position
leaning forward and to the left.
Human Skeleton in Court.
Have you a skeleton, doctor, to
illustrate WITH" asked Judge Fee
"I have" replied the witness. A large
green bag was then produced and a
human skeleton brought forth from
its folds.
The bleached bones were then sus-
pended by the head with a string from
the chandelier Immediately in front OF
the jury. DR.. Cole indicated the place
where the bullet entered, its course
the vertebra struck and approximately
where 1t lodged.
At 3:15 DR.. Cole was on the stand
with his examination practically COM
pleted.
