They sought list Of the murder
ed mans acquaintance in order to
find trace of any person out Of en-
ployment, who might have entered the
car under the guise of a friend and
then did the fatal work.
The officers are convinced that the
messenger was killed by a blow from
a hatchet and believe that the robbery
of the express safe was the work OF
an old railroad man who was familiar
with the workings and markings on
the packages. Nothing was disturbed
but money and jewelry packages.
The officers believe that Bailey ad
mitted friend into the car and that
the latter struck him in the head with
a hatchet when his back was turned.

Also Says Wyoming Mine Disaster Is
Murder by Mine Owners.

Chicago, Mar. 3O.-W. D. Haywood
took occasion to criticise Roosevelt,
Governor Gooding and other public
officials In a speech delivered here
last night.
incidentally Haywood launched his
boom for the candidacy for president
of the United States on the socialist
ic ticket Resolutions were intro-
duced and passed calling for the
withdrawal Of troops at the Tread
well mines.
Speaking of the bomb throwing In
New York, Haywood said: when
some poor deluded mortal is trying to
take by forcs what by justice belongs
to him, we call IT an outrage. But

Charles H. Green, dean of the
woolbuyers and representative of
Koshland Bros, has arrived in the
city and will remain in this section
during the coming wool season. His
arrival marks the opening OF the sea-
son and within a short time other
buyers, now in the southwest. will
reach this place.
Regarding the status of the wool
market this season Mr. Green declares
that 1t is yet too early TO foretell
what prices will be paid. At this time
he says that the situation has not
shaped itself sufficiently for the
buying houses to know where they are
at and until II does the market will
not be opened. However, he predicts
that lower prices will prevail.
'Tn the southwest much of the wool
has been sold on consignment" said
he this morning. "In Arizona $780,
600 pounds was consigned and from 10
to 13 cents per pound was advanced
upon II. In California 100000
pounds has been consigned with from
to s cents per pound being advanc-
ed. About a million pounds has been
consigned out OF Nevada and the same
amount from Idaho. In Nevada 10
cents per pound was advanced"
According to Mr.. Green he will be
ready to take wool on consignment
here, but he does not apprehend that
eastern oregon buyers will take kindly
to the idea because OF sad expert
ence they had when they consigned
their wool about IL years ago.
81 do not believe there will be much
contracting this year and II is probable
that the prices will not be established
until the first sales day Is held" he
says. by that time the houses will
know where they are going TO dispose
of their wool and they will bid ac-
cordingly. However. II is certain that
the wool will be bought and those
having good clips will get good
prices.
The following Is a schedule OF the.
sales days as arranged for the COM
ing season in eastern oregon:
Arlington. May % approximate
offerings 100000 pounds.

Auburn, N. Y, Mar. 3O.-Chester
Gillette, the young slayer of Grace
Brown. one time a sweetheart of
Gillette, and whom he betrayed, de-
serted and finally killed, paid the
penalty this morning in the electric
chair.
Governor Hughes heard the last
appeal for a review and commuta-
tion of the sentence Saturday when
he listened to the evidence of addi-
tional witnesses whom the attorney
from Gillette said threw a new light
on the case.
All day Sunday the governor stud
led the matter over and announced
Sunday night that he would do moth
ing to stop the execution.
Gillette Confesses to Crime.
At almost a last breath the boy
confessed to his spiritual adviser,
Rev. McIllravey and Prison Chaplain
Herric that he was guilty of the
crime. McIllravey refused to give
the details of the confession, which
was oral, but said it bore out the
charges of the prosecution. AS the
be, was strapped to the chair he
called McIllravey to the chair.
Tell mother that l am prepared
to meet my God" he said in calm
voice. "Tell her 1 have no hard feel
ings against anyone and am only fill
ed with sorrow for the anguish have
caused her and others. Good bye"
Gillette entered the death house at
6:l2 a. M. his face asned but was
not nervous and walked to the chair
unasslsted and settled in a comfort
able position with a sigh of relief
Chaplain Herric recited the 2Srd
psalm. Gillette sat quietly with
bowed head until the conclusion when
he made the statement to McIllravey.
The cap was adjusted and the
switch turned on. A current of 1900
volts was applied for 80 seconds
Only one contact was made and at
$50 he was pronounced dead.
Today an official statement was
given out by Rev. McIllravey and
Chaplain Herr1ck which was as fol-
lows:
Because Of our privileged rela-
tions with Chester Gillette we deem
it unwise to make any detailed state.

talks with him, but we simply wish
to say that no legal mistake was

Story Of the Murder.
SO ends the pitiful tragedy Of a pal
lid, covering boy and a simple coun-
try girl who loved unwisely, per-
haps but with pathetic constancy
The boy faced by a situation that
he could not master, killed to avoid
disgrace, the daughter of poor but
refined family living on farm,
Grace Brown, who went to work in a
shirt factory at Courtland, N. Y.
There she met Gillette. a nephew |

Morphine at San Francisco Hotel.

San Francisco, Mar. 3O.-Whether
the death Of Joseph Cannon, cashier
of the Northwestern National Bank of

ing and was found in a dying condi-
tion late in the afternoon.
A doctor was called but the man
died in about an hour. The physician

Cannon came to California a month
ago, first staying in Los Angeles. An

the Herald from Hanna, Wyo, says;
Seventy-one men are known to have
lost their lives in mine number one Of
the Union Pacific Coal company al
though only 81 names are obtainable
Seventy-one coffins have been rushed
TO Hanna. The bodies OF Alexander
Tenant and Matt Huhtala OF the res
cuing party were found at daylight
100 feet from the east slope, having
been blown from the mine by the
second explosion which snuffed out
the lives of more than SO men. Ten
nant's head could not be found and
one arm was some distance from the
body.
Huhtala's body was horribly man
gled, Warburton, Hunson and Perry
were taken out last night. All were
badly burned and all those still in the
mine have been given up for dead.
The rescuing party is working hero
ically but the bodies will possibly not
be recovered for several days as 1t will
be necessary to close the west slope
and smother the fires below the 10th
level and then draw off the large
quantities of gas before entering the
colliery.
or the dead fully so per cent were
married and practically all have chill

The widest excitement prevailed to-
day in Hanna and at the mine, where
hundreds are congregated, including
widows. children and other relatives
OF the victims. Many women are rum
ming about wringing their hands and
crying, while many little children, sep
arated from their mothers in the semi
panic that prevails, are sobbing and.
trembling in fear.

Violates Sunday Closing.

Jesse ONeal, proprietor of the
Bowling Alley under Hunters Gro
Gerry was brought before Judge Fack-
rell Tuesday on charge of allowing
people to play pool In his place on
Sunday. O'Neal set up the defense
that 1t was his ianitor boy who went
in to attend to some work, and some
of his chums went with him, and
played some without his knowledge,
but evidence was introduced to show
that Mr.. O'Neal came In while they
were playing, and that two men who
entered with him played without any
objection being raised by O'Neal. The
case was tried by jury, and five
voted for conviction. while one was
for acquittal.
Judge Fackrell passed upon the
matter Wednesday morning, and up
on Mr.. O'Neal making very earnest
plea for ieniency and promising to
be good in future, he was let off with
a fine Of $4,000, this being the least
that could be imposed.

try the newspaper business for a
time and they will conclude other
wise after about three issues. Last
week we tried to publish very ac-

carefully with Mrs. Gagon, checking
each name off twice, then re-check-
ing again when the article was ready
to go on the hook, but somehow mis-
takes occurred. Mrs. Blanche Ed
redge and Mrs Katherine Wasley
each loaned $500 and their names
were omitted entirely, while A. Whit

forgive us, we really try to have
everything correct and promise to
