BRUTAL MURDER
At HEPPNER
BUTCHER NAMED JASPELL
is KILLED FOR HIS MONEY
Man Named Webb, an Employe of
Jaspell, Suspected of the Horrible
Crime-Sheriff Shut, of Morrow
County, on Hot Trail of the MUIR
derer-Webb Left Heppner at
O'Clock at Night, and Suspicion
Strongly Points TO Him.

Last night a butcher named Jaspell
was brutally murdered at Heppner,
and today the sheriff of Morrow coun-
ty is making a vigorous search in the
Butter creek country for the man who
is believed to be the slayer.
This morning information of the
murder, together with instructions to
look out for the fugitive, was received
at the sheriffs office. According to
the story given over the phone by
Sheriff Shut, Jaspell was murdered
about s o'clock last evening, the mo-
tive being robbery.
The suspect is a man named Webb,
an employe of Jaspell in the latter's
butchering business. According to
the information given, Webb is known
to have left Heppner about / o'clock
this morning, going in the direction
of Butter creek. This forenoon the
Morrow county sheriff traced him as
far as Butter creek, but there lost all
trace of him.
1t is possible he may have gone into
hiding in the mountains or he may
have headed north toward Echo in
the hope of catching a train out.
Webb is described as being 40 years
and light hair, five feet eight inches
high, and weighing about 100 pounds.
He has a somewhat flat face. When
he left Heppner he was riding an IRON
gray horse,

Mon of means and above all men of
great wealth, can exist in safety un-
der the peaceful protection Of the
state, only in orderly societies, where
liberty manifests itself through and
under the law.
1t is these men, who, more than
any others, should, in the interests
Of their children and their chill lrsn's
children, seek in every way, but es-
pecially In the conduct of their lives,
to insist upon and to build up re-
spect for the law.
Rich Must Set an Example.
1t may not be true from the stand
point of some particular individual Of
this class, but in the long run 1t is
pre-eminently true from the stand
point of the class as whole, no less
than Of the country as a whole that
it is a veritable calamity to achieve
a temporary triumph by violation or
evasion of the law; and we are the
best friends of the man of property,
we show ourselves the staunchest up
holders of the rights of property,
when we set our faces like flint
against those offenders who do wrong
in order to acquire great wealth or
who use this wealth as a help to
wrongdoing.
Wronfdoing is confined to no
class. Good and evil are to be found
among both rich and poor. and in
drawing the line among our fellows
we must draw it on conduct and not
on worldly possessions.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton to the Sunday Oregon Journal
says that the coming session of the
federal grand jury in Portland will
take up alleged frauds committed in
the entry of Umatilla Indian reserva-
tion lands, under the act by which
the unallotted lands were thrown
open for settlement.
While it is a well-known fact that
about 100 entries upon these lands
were cancelled last spring during an
investigation by Special Agent L. r
yet United States District Attorney
w. C. Bristol of Portland refuses to
say whether the matter will be
brought before the federal grand jury
or not.
1t has been thought in this city
by those interested that the enforced
cancellation of the entries would end
the matter, and the announcement
from Washington that prosecutions
are to follow in the cases of those
who cancelled their entries, comes as
a surprise.
Since 'the entries were cancelled
| last spring, it is estimated that fully
two-thirds of the abandoned claims
have been filed upon again during the
summer.
The investigation into the Uma[il-
la reservation entries was started by
reports that land claimed to be stony,
ncn-tillable mountain peaks was
growing good crops of wheat, rye and
barley and that an amendment by
Senator Fulton relieved settlers from
making residence on this character
of farming land under the prelense
that it was stony and unfit for culti-
vation.
The general land office thorough
ly investigated the condition of the
land, the length of residence, tho
amount of cultivation, the object of
the entryman in taking the land and
all other facts are now in the hands
of the general land office. and while
it is not known definitely, yet it is
believed that number of prosecu-
tions will be started when the fed
eral grand jury meets in Portloni.

Or. ROWLAND IS
TR|EDF0R MURDER
SENSATIONAL CASE HAS
STIRRED THE SOUTH
DIR. David s. Rowland and Wife Are
Charged With Numbering Her First
Husband at Omaha-Victim Was a
Locomotive EngineeH and His
Widow Married DIR. Rowland Six
Weeks After the Murder.

Raleigh, n. c., Sept. S0.-One OF
the most remarkable and sensational
cases of alleged murder that has
stirred this section in a generation
was called for trial here today
that of David S. Rowland, a lead
ing physician with large practice
in this city, and his beautiful widow
bride, formerly Mrs. Lillion Strange
of Omaha, Neb. The two are charged
with having murdered the woman's
first husband, Charles r. Strange, in
this city last April by poison or other
foul means.
Suspicion against the accused was
first aroused by the fact that DR..
Rowland and the widow were mar
ried within six weeks after the sud-
den death of Strange, whom DR..
Rowland attended in his last illness.
At the coroner's investigation the
prosecution was dependent almost en-
tirely on circumstantial evidence. But
"a chain strong enough to bring aboat
the indictment of both on a murder
charge was soon forged.
II the accused pair are entirely in
nocent of the death of the woman's
husband, they are both the victims
of a most remarkable chain of ap-
pearances and developments. If the
circumstantial evidence adduced at
the preliminary hearing is true, it
had been a guilty love between DR.,
Rowland and Mrs, Strange for
some time before the death of the
woman's husband. On the other hand,
the attorneys for the accused declare
that the appearances are deceitful.
They declare that the early marriage
of the doctor and the widow, which
the prosecution holds as the most
suspicious act In the chain Of circum-
stantial evidence, was in reality the
act of a man disposed to do the hon
orable thing to protect the good name
of an innocent woman.
Charles r. Strange, the alleged VIC
tim of the pair, was locomotive en-
gineer and the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers, of which he was a
member, has hired counsel to assist
in the prosecution of DR., Rowland
and his bride.

SPOKANE AT FAIR.
Efforts Being Made to Have Large
Separate Building.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. SO.-It is
probable that there will be separate
Spokane building at the Ataska-Yu-
kon-Pacific fair at Seattle in 1903.
The last session of the legislature gave
the officials of the different counties
Of the state of Washington authority
to levy a tax not to exceed one-half
mill for the purpose of paying the
expenses of providing for their ex-
hibits at the Seattle exposition. Spo-
kane county, with its valuation of
S60,O0O,0O0, could raise in this way
100000. and If the entire Spokane
country is to be represented, the pro-
portion from northern Idaho and
northeastern oregon could be raised
by subscription.

Following Horseman's direct exam

attorney of Horseman in touching
upon what Horseman claimed Nc

swer of the man on the stand.
Buh0ltz Corroborates Story.
This afternoon Alex Buholt2 and j..
w. Ray were called TO the stand by
the defense and the former was re-
called after Ray had completed his
ltSlillOHy.
Buholtz had been called to testify
regarding the threats which William
Cartwright was said to have made
against Horseman while the stock
men were at the Heppner reserve
meeting in February. A hard fight
was made over the admission of this
evidence, but the witness was allow
ed to say that Cartwright had threat
ened Horseman's life.
In telling of the fight and the in
cidents just prior to the killing, Blu
holtz corroborated Horsema7 in
much OF his testimony. At the time
OF the shooting he said both men
were facinG Horseman and each had
just made a threat against the de-
fendant.

ernor Mead.

Suicide Remarked That He Was
About Ready to Go.

Genesee, Idaho, Sept. S0.-Tom
Mills, who has been a resident OF
Genesee, Idaho, for 15 years, COM
mitted suicide Saturday evening by
taking aconite. He was on the street
at I o'clock and jokingly said that he
was about ready to quit, but no one
thought of his being serious in the
matter. He was heard in his room
shortly after o'clock and was found
dead in his room about l o'clock in
the morning. No reason is known for
him to commit the act, but 1t is sup
posed that he became discouraged, de-
Gliding that life was not worth living.

PREACHERS NOT ACTORS.
Bishop Moore Deplores "Top-Line'
Acting i'm the Pulnit.

At the NJ. E. conference which
closed in Portland Saturday evening,
the feature of the day was the address
of Bishop David Moore, who gave an
eloquent talk to ministers in regard
to their attitude toward the present
theatrical methods employed by some
preachers.
He declared that he hoped the day
will never come when q Methodist
minister acted and advertised as
though he were a top-liner in dra-
matte troupe. A minister should get
congregations by earnestness and able
handling of his flock.
He also announced that he would
stay in Oregon during the month of
October to help raise funds for the
Salem theological college Eighty
thousand dollars was raised Friday
night, and he expects to make it $780,
900.
The confer ence voted to allow the
Swedish-American Methodist churches
a voice in the conference hereafter.
The next conference will be held at
Salem. Coos Bay and Marshfield also
invited the conference, but failed to
land the attraction.

he will join the Mississippi river ex-

as follows:
Roosevelt's Address.
We have gathered together today
to pay our need Of respect and af-
lection to the memory of William
Mckinley, who as president won a
place in the hearts of the American
people such as but three or 1our Of
all the presidents of this country have
ever won.
He was of singular uprightness and
purity of character, alike in public
and in private life; citizen who
loved peace, he did his duty faith
fully and well for four years of war
when the honor of the ration called
him TO arms.
As. congressman, as governor Of his
state, and finally as president, he rose
to the foremost place among our
statesmen, reaching a position which
would satisfy the keenest ambition;
but he never lost that simple and
thoughtful kindness toward every
human being, great or small. lofty
or humble, with which he was brought
in contact, which SO endeared him
to our people.
He had to grapple with more Sc
rious and complex problems than any
president since Lincoln, and yet.
while meeting every demand of
craftsmanship, he continued to live
beautiful and touching family Jfe,
a life very healthy for this nation TO
see in its foremost citizen; and now
the woman who walked in the shad-
ow ever after his death, the wife to
whom his loss was a calamity more
crushing than it could be to any 9TH
er human, lies beside him here in
the same sepulcher.
Lessons of His Life.
Many lessons are taught us by Nc
Kinley's career, but none more val
liable than the lesson of broad SYM
pathy for and among all of our citi-
zens of all classes and creeds
No other president has ever more
deserved to have his life work char
actrized in Lincoln's words as being
carried on with Malice toward |
none, with charity toward ALL"
As a boy he worked hard with his |
hands; he entered the army as pri-
vate soldier; he knew poverty. he |
earned his own livelihood; and by |
his own exertions he finally rose to !
the position of a man of moderate |
means.
Not merely was he in personal |
touch with farmer and town dweller, |
with capitalist and wageworker, but |
he felt an intimate understanding of
each, and therefore an intimate SYM
pathy ith each: and his consistent ef-
fort was TO try to judge all by the
same standard and to treat all with
the same justice.
Arrogance toward the weak. and
envous hatred Of those we'll off, were
equally abhorrent to his just and gen.
tie soul.
Respect for the Law
From the standpoint OF our mate
rial prosperity there is only one other
thing as important as the discour-
agement of a spirit Of envy and hos
tility toward honest business men, to-
ward honest business men, toward
honest men of means; this is the dis
of dishonest business
men, the war upon the chicanery and
wrongdoing which are peculiarly re-
pulsive, peculiarly noxious, when ex-
hibited by men who have no excuse
of want, of poverty, of ignorance, for
heir crimes
