MURDER NEAR VALE.
Father Avenges Honor OF His Child
by Killing william Wisdom.


A special to the Oregonian from
Vale, Ore, states that William T.
Wisdom was shot and killed by John
Brown, as the latter was leaving >the
store of Isaac Nichols at Ironsides,
place rs miles from Vale. Sheriff
Dell arrived Vale with Brown to-
day. According to Deputy Sheriff
Morfitt, there has been bad feeling
between the men for some time. Sat-
urday Brown went to Nichols store
to borrow a shotgun with which to
kill some ducks.
Just as he was leaving the store he
met Wisdom, and shot him point
blank. After killing Wisdom, Brown
went to his home and spent the time
until the sheriff came, with his child
rem. Brown and his wife are separat-
ed.
Brown admits the killing and ac-
cuses his victim of having continual
ly maltreated his 14-year-old daugh-
ter for the past three years. Brown
says that when recently he discover
ed what was going on, rather than
bring notoriety upon his daughter, he
warned Wisdom to leave the country
and supposed he had done so. He
says that while leaving Nichols store
he met Wisdom face to face, and on
the impulse of the moment shot him.

A FINE SHOW.
San Francisco Opera Company Pre-

San Francisco Opera Company Pre-
sents "The TOymalxer" in Pleasing
Manner.
At the oregon last night the San
Francisco opera company presented
The Toymaker" and 1t was show
that pleased. The company is a rep
ertoire troupe and does not equal the
original company that toured the
northwest with the play several years
ago, yet 1t would be hard to improve
upon some OF the caste and the per-
formance was generally well enjoy
ed.
Little Daphne Pollard is the star,
and she twinkles sufficiently to make
success alone. As clever little
doll girl 1t would certainly be hard
to find another better suited than she
and she has voice that makes her
still more appreciated.
As the maker of dolls and the. com.
median Of the troupe Teddy Webb is
not bad. He fills his role cleverly
and made the crowd laugh with his
specialties. AS Francois, the appren-
tice of the monastery, Eugene VIE
ner fits the part and he has good
voice and the same is true of Jack
Martin, the leader of the monks. He
also appears as the uncle of Francois
in which part he did equally well.
While the chorus with the troupe was
good, 1t is small in numbers and was
not used much last night.

1t was feat never to be forgotten
by the group of anxious men, who
looked down almost straight toward
the body, with the sea beneath II.
The three men made the descent to-
gether, carrying with them a couple
of heavy sacks in which to place the
body.
The ledge Is at a point known as
DEVILS Slide, at Silver Canyon, near
Avalon.
When the body was reached It was
placed in a large sack and lowered
with one of the rescuers 400 feet more
