Agricultural college aggregation, that

The Nebraska boys completed their

BAD MANS CLEVER ESCAPE.
CRIMINAL WHO FEIGNS PARALY-
Sis CAUGHT IN BAKER CITY,
HAS BAD RECORD.

BAKER CITY. Ore, Jan. John
Corliss, special deputy. ived in the
city yesterday morning from Salt Lake
City to take back one JOnn Murphy, if
it is possible for the state of Oregon
to let him go. Murphy is wanted ir
Salt Lake for highway robbery. having
held up railroad man at Huntington
and then sat down and chatted and
jokel with him.
Murphy has many aliases and in Salt
Lake passed as Richard Deming. His
escape from the authorities was one of
the most clever pieces of work ever ac-
complshed by criminal He produced
bump on the back of his head and
then fell out of his bunk, appearing to
be paralyzed. Physicians worked over
him for hours with electric batteries,
running their fingers around his eye
balls. sticking pins into his body and
the soles of his feet. but We're unable
to produce the least sigr. from the pris-
oner showing that he felt the instru-
ments. He was then placed in hospi-
tai with a special guard. and the guard
either went to sleep or left the room,
as Murphy quietly walked out of the
building.
His body is mass of scars, bearing
no less than five bullet wounds and
many knife wounds. His face alone is
free Scars from WOUNDS that would
have caused the death of an ordinary
person appear on his chest, abdomen
and right leg. 1t is thought that he
has committed murder, and he is badly
wanted in California, supposedly on
this charge. as he said he would object
very strongly to going back there. He
also intimated that he is wanted some
other place but will not tell where.
The Salt Lake authorities say that
he is one of the most hardened Grim
inals in the west. and is exceptionally
hard to deal with because of his ability
to endure great physical torture and
injury.

BODY FOUND IN ORUCE GRAVE
ROMANTIC STORIES OF DUAL PER-
SONALITY EXPLODE AT
DOOR OF OPEN TOMB.

LONDON. Jan. 1.-The body of
Thomas Charles Druce in High Gate
cemetery, was exhumed Monday just
43 years to a day after it's burial The
coffin was found to contain the re-
mains of a human body, thus explod-
ing the romantic tale told by Robert
G. Caldwell and others, who sWore dur
ing the recent hearing of the Druce
perjury case that it contained a roll
of lead.
The official statement given out by
representatives of the home office and
others who We're officially present at
the examination, not only definitely
disposes of the lead myth but seems
effectively to prove that the body buried
in 1854 was actually that of r. c.
Druce.
The scene at High Gate cemetery
when the vault was opened was re-
from everywhere; every bush and tree
apparently hid an officer of the law. All
| the entrances to the cemetery were
surrounded by cOrdOns of police. Only
those persons who had passes from
the home Office We're admitted to the
grounds. George Hollanby Druce, who
claims he is the rightful heir to the
Portland dukedom and to it's vast es-
tate, tried twice to get into the ceme-
terry. but was met with stern re-
fusal.
The Druce vault gave up its secret
after ten years of legal proceedings
which have cost. all told, a cOnsidera
BILE fortune. A large part of this money
was obtained from servant girls and
other workers, who We're induced to
buy shares in a company formed to
prosecute the claims of George HOl-
lamby Druce against the estate of the
Duke of Portland
The charge of perjury against Her
bert Druce is effectively disposed Of

FIRE DESTROYS
SUMMER RESORT
PAVILION AT MEADOR PARK
BURNED TO GROUND ATT
O'CLOCK THIS MORNING.

Meador Park. Walla Walla's popular
summer resort, was destroyed by fire
this morning at l o'clock, the damage
being about $4,000. Just how the fire
originated is a mystery, but it is the
theory of Mr.. Meador that the blaze
started either from incendiary origin
in leaving a fire. The loss is partially
covered by insurance but the owner
was unable to state this morning just
how much of the loss was thus pro-
tected. The resort is closed during the
winter months but it has beer custo-
mary for visitors in small parties to
visit the park and in some cases they
have built fires to warm their toes or
make coffee. Several times dangerous
fires so left have been found by Mr..
Meador.
Asked if the pavilion would be re-
built. l.. Meador. owner of the park,
said this morning:
YES. will rebuild and the place viii
be put in better shape even than be-
fore. The pavilion will be rebuilt in
much the same manner as before and
probably about the same size as before.
The bill for the lumber will be put in
Immediately and as soon as the
weather permits work will be begun.
About $4,000 feet of lumber burned
last night and fully as much will be
used in the new building.
Besides this, a shoot the -chutes'
will be installed and giant whirl. be-
sides several other first-class attrac-
tions and the park will be one of the
best summer resorts in this part of the
country if my efforts can make it so.
THE pond for the shoot the -chutes
has been completed and will be fed
from the big spring through a pipe
400 feet long. The pond is 75x145' feet
and is of ample size for the purpose.
There will be a 20 foot pressure. The
park itself will be beautified and the
grass started last year will be in nice
shape this summer and We expect to
accomplish large crowds this season

the interest, however, of simplicity,
