BIG REWARD
FOR MURDERER

SILVER LAKE, Ore, April "a
reward of $4,000 has been offered for
the capture and conviction OF Allie
Hamilton, who murdered Julius Wal
lende here in December of last year.
by beating him upon the head with
the butt of a revolver.
The body of the murdered man
was only found in creek bed near
here a little over a week ago with
the skull fractured and the head
badly slashed. Although suspicion
was directed to Hamilton at that
time, there was no positive evidence
of his having committed the crime
and the coroner's jury brought in a
verdict of violent death at the hands
offs an unknown assailant. Immedi-
ately after the verdict Hamilton dis
appeared and more recent develop
ments seem to point Enthusiastically
to mis- guilt.
Hamilton was last seen at klamath
Falls, and description of him has
been sent to all the coast police and
his arrest is hourly expected.
Governor Chamberlain, to assist in
the capture, has offered $4,000 re.
ward on the part of the state, tc
which the Lake county officials add
ed $500 and the citizens of this city
raised $500 more, making $4,000 il
all.

TO putting an opponent on zee for future
references
Attel took a ten-round decision over
Ad Wolgast at Maud JunCss0a last night,
but the American feather eight cham
pion lost prestige by the bout In the
opinion OF the writer Attel was under
a strong pull from the third round and
allowed WoIgast 10 make a good show
ing when, had he so willed. AtteI could
have cut the Milwaukee youngster 10
ribbons.
As early as the third round Il was
apparent that Attel had the best OF
WOlgast at every department Of the
game. During the two first rounds
Attel jabbed Wolgast at win and kept
safely away from all Of Woigast's wild
swings and rushes-
From then on the affair took on the
aspect Of a joke. WOlgast appeared
serious enough and fought as best he
knew how Attel took IL easy and
allowed Ad to lead and then would jab
back. Whenever Attel liked be landed
and he was able to pick out any spot
for a target.
