HEAEYS GUARD
 REPORTED POISONED
Strange Condition of Body of
 0. J. Kendall ArouseS Suspicion.

PORTLAND, Ore. Jan. 19.--It was found that the vital organs were miss ing from the body of Oscar J. Ken dall, late bodygdard of Francis J. Heney, when Portland surgeon who was employed by the family, began work yesterday. The brain, stomach. heart, lungs. liver and some of the larger intestines had been removed stuffed in their place.
 investigation disclosed the fact to the satisfaction of the family that the symptoms manifested by the patient during his brief illness, instead of be- ing those of meningitis, were those of poisoning and all the information which has thus far been secured points so strongly to foul play that thor ough investigation has been started by the United States district attorney. with the aid of secret service officers. The fact that Kendall was closely as- sociated with Heney in his work ip San Francisco strengthened the fam ily's suspicion of foul play.
 Kendall died in San Francisco a few days ago.

Fl PASO |S PLANNING
 AN INDUSTRIAL FAIR
Object Is to Prevent Trade With Mexico Going D
 San Antonio.

FL PASO. Tex, Jan. 18-'Tt's a go," was the slogan decided on by the ways and mems committee of the fair association at a meeting held in the rooms of the chamber of commerce this morning. The members of the committee were extremely enthusias- tic over the fair proposition and they are practically assured now that the fair will be realization of plans now being laid.
 The committee voted to have 1000 buttons bearing the slogan Its a go," printed and will distribute them around the city as soon as they are out. There Is nothing to it, the con- mittee says, but a sure thing and no obstacle will block their progress. However, everybody is asked to jump in and help push the thing along.
 The ways and means committee drew up list of prominent business men of the city at their meeting this morning who will be requested to at- tend the mass meeting to be held in the chamber of commerce rooms on Friday night, January 25. The date was first placed on the 24th, but ow- ing to attractions that will be in the city that night the date was postponed one day.
 Those men who will be asked to come out to the mass meeting are said to be the most representative men in the city and 1t is the purpose of the committee in charge to put the fair association on a solid financial basis. This list of men will be definitely de- termined at a meeting of the ways and means committee to be held next Tuesday. fe
 The interest taken in the fair by all those who have been approached on the proposition exceeds the en- thusiasm ever aroused over any un- dertaking ever started in the city.
 It Is declared that El Paso must or ganize and perpetuate fair that will bring the people of Mexico here to take in such attraction or else the city will lose the trade of the people south of the international boundary which will go to San Antonio.

PETER HILL IS
 AT LAST BURIED

Without a prayer, without song, without flowers or respect from a rela- tive, the remains of the unfortunate Peter HIn were laid to rsst in the Evergreen cemetery yesterday after noon
 Hauled to the graveyard in the plain dead-wagon, buried in pine box
 No funeral was held, no mourners followed the corpse to the grave The only one who witnessed the burial was Undertaken Ames of the Palace un- dertaking establishment, who has held the body for nearly a month in the hopes that relatives could be located and notified of the mans death
 Peter Hill was pound dead on the mountain back of the Mexican settle rnent in South Bisbee over three weeks ago An investigation was held before Coroner Hogan at Lowell to place the responsibility. It was thought at first that Hill had been killed and robbed. but this theory was dispelled when Hill's gold watch and a twenty dollar gold coin were found in his pocket.
 The next theory advanced was that he was killed by Hansen, a cutler. who had threatened to kill the first Mexican he saw molesting his burros. IL was the supposition that Hansen was look ing for his burros when be saw Hill standing on the mountain and, think ing he was a Mexican attempting to steal a burro, fired the fatal shot. The angle of the bullet showed 1t had been fired from point higher than that on which Hill stood, and that its force was nearly spent when it struck him.
 Investigation showed that about 1000 yards from the spot was a noun tain peak which lowered above It, and Hansen admitted being on top of this the morning before he found the dead body of Hill, and that he Sad a revol- yer. The next morning he vent to look for his burros and found the dead body of Hill. He reported it to Cor oner Hogan and the matter was in- vestigated, resulting in Hansen's ar rest for murder. Hansen was given a preliminary examination in Lowell and discharged.
 Although every step was taken to get in communication with some of Hill's relatives. they were fruitIess. A woman in Phoenix wrote Under taker Ames asking for a description of HNi. thinking # was her brother. He .sont her an accurate description and the Phoenix woman wrote back that she knew nothing about him.
 It was presumed that Hiu had two brothers in Denver who were wealthy

HOL D.UPS ARE AGAIN
 BEING COMMITTED
ZundeI Was Robbed of Some Silver Under an Arc Light.
 on His Way Home.

Putting large caliber pistol in the face of c. Zundel, one of the pro prietors of the Zundel Bros store on Brewery Avenue, an unknown man Thursday night forced him to deliver all the money he had on his person. The hold-up took place at II o'clock at night while Zundel was on his way home after closing his store.
 Zundel was approached at the june tion of Brewery Avenue and Railroad streets by a ragged man, who demand ed money. Refusing to give it, re- volVer was thrown into ZundePs face and a command given for him to put up his hands. This was done in a prompt manner and the robber went through Zundel's pockets. Although over $300 was concealed in the inside jacket pocket of Zundel, only a few dollars was obtained, the robberl1eg- lecting to search the other pocket.
 Constables Wilmoth and Twomey, Deputy Sherfff White and Officer Frank Johnson were given descrip- ton of the robber, but have seen no one whom they suspicion to be him. He is described to be ragsedly dress ed, medium size, about 35 years old, black hair and eyes. and heavy-set.
 This crime was, in a manner, as bold as the hold-ups committed by Comnesford and his gang last winter. There was an electric arc light shin- ing brilliantly not twenty feet from where the robbery took place. The robber hastily took what silver he could find in Zundel's pockets and dis appeared down the railroad tracks. No clew which Is likely to lead to his ar rest has yet been received

FEAR klDNAPERS

PORTLAND, Nov. 13.-Mrs
Elizabeth Stuart, 425 Ross ST., mys-
teriously disappeared from her
home. The police have been noti-
fed and Detective Coleman has
been assigned on the case. At the
time of her disappearance Mrs,
Stuart, with her infant child, was
visiting her mother-in-law who &C.
cupies the house next door. The
mother-inlaw was busily engaged
in the kitchen and after time Mrs
Stuart excused herself and left the
house alone, stating that she was
going to her own house for mo-
ment. After some time the disap-
pearance was noticed and a search
instituted.
The woman's relatives fear that
she has been kidnapped. The only
clew which the police ehave upon
which to work is the fact that last
year practically the same thing oc-
Cured and after being absent for
some days, Mrs. Stuart returned in

BURKEY IS STILL
UNcAPTURED

WALLA WALLA, Nov. 13.-
James Burkey, the convict who es-
capped from the penitentiary here
Thursday evening, is still at large.
This is the third time Burkey has
tried to get away, the other two
efforts proving failures.
Shortly after Burkey entered the
institution he tried to escape. He
was working in the jute mill at the
time and his position was near the
side of the building. While the
guards were not looking he stealth
lily removed the bricks from the
wall and had all but the outside
layer removed when found. He had
piled Irvine and refuse into the
opening so it would not be noticed
and worked for several days on it,

LAND TF1IEVS ARE CHARGED WITH
THE MURDER OF OFFICER WALKER

DENVER, Col, Nov. 13.-Have
the land locaters and high thieves
who have stolen valuable coal lands
in the West descended to assassin
alton?
The United tates secret service
agents in Denver so charge. They
declare that the murder a few days
ago of Joseph Walker, one of the
government best agents, was in
stigated by land thieves, and pro-
ceeding on that theory they have
thrown out detective lines to drag
to the surface the real murderers.
Walker had been at work some
time on land frauds and he had I'M
earthed some very valuable evil
dence. He was shot while standing
at the mouth of mine at Durango
in the southwestern part of the
state. The man who killed him was
an obscure workman employed in
the mine. The murderer is believed
to have been a paid assassin.
The mine where the murder oc-
Cured is own by a subsidiary COM
pany of the Southern Pacific rail
road.
Its former owners are under in
dictment it being alleged by the
government that they filed on the
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-11-13

land under the lumber act, knowing
that it contained valuable deposits
of coal.
Three of Walkers assistants
were in the mine when he was kill
ed. They claim that their ladders
were cut and that they had a diff
cult time in reaching the surface,
only to find their chief cold in
death.
The weapon used was sawed-off
shotgun, a common weapon in Du-
range, especially among the land
owners-a class who armed them
selves with these weapons to fight
the Western Federation of Miners
during thee famous Colorado war.
Walker was known as a shrewd
man and was an important witness
for the government at the hearings
before the grand pury. Many men
who have accumulated fortunes
through alleged frauds wept no
tears at his untimely death.
Immediately following the trag-
edy orders were sent for all secret
service men in the district to con-
gregate at Denver. The meeting
was secret and orders were re-
ceived from Chief Wilkie to ferret
the assassination to the bottom.

MINT TO The RESCUE

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-The
mint here is turning out money as
fist as the dies can be made to cast
it. Yesterday afternoon $1,000 900
In double eagles was delivered to
the sub-treasury here. 1t is stated
that within the next three months
the mint will turn out $4,000, 900
in double eagles. This enormous
amount of money will be dis.
tributed around to the various sub
treasures, and ought to go a long
way toward relieving the money
stringency. There is now enough
gold bullion at the mint for the
manufacture of $4,000 900 in double
eagles. AS soon as $3.50 900 in quar-
tiers or half dollars is turned out
the whole force will give their at.
tention to the demnd for gold.
