MYSTERIOUS MURDER
NEAR DARTLESVILLE

Bartlesville, Okla. July 13. r The
police Of this city. and officers Of the
county are working quietly but with
determination on one OF the most
brutal and as yet mysterious murders
the history OF Oklahoma records, The
killing here during the night of July
3, or early July 10, Of II. j Deckard
Of Lake Charles, La.
The body was discovered late Sat
urday night 600 feet from a public road
near the Dupont nitro.glycerin works.
between Bartlesville and Dewey. Deck
ard had been murdered far from the
spot where his body was found, and
all evidence that might lead to the
discovery OF his murderer had been
destroyed. Tho police believe the
deed was committed with a hatchet
and the body was hauled in cab TO
the lonely spot IN the woods.
Deckard was a man Of mystery;
nothing IN particular was known of
him until the day before the murder
when his wife, beautiful, young, and
possessor Of a wardrobe which startl.
ed those who saw her at the theater
OF IN the restaurants. was arrested IN
the Right Way hotel. charged with
film fiamming" q couple Of oil pro.
ducers from the Hog Shooter field.
Deckard did not possess the best
sort of a reputation. but the handsome
young fellow with his tall, straight
figure. his Grecian face. his rich
'front.'" and his sporting procllyities,
has been a familiar figure on the
streets here during the current year.
lie was known IN Tulsa. Nowata
and Pawhuska, too. but none knew his
business. The arrest Of Mrs Deckard
drew from Miss Kate Barnard, state
Commissioner Of charities, a stlngipg
rebuke for the county officials who
thrust her among hardened criminals
in jail where no female ward was
maintained.
Mrs. Deekard, who says she was
born in Paris, but who speaks with a
decided cotton country accent, was
held for the grand Jury under an $500
bond. The bond was made light be-
cause her attorney. J i. Charlton, the
man who convicted emmett Dalton
thought she might be able to stay out
Of jail If the amount was reasonable.
Deckard called on bis wife at the
county jaIl late Friday evening. lie
had had a bond prepared and told her
he was going to the county to get Il
signed. That was the extent Of their
conversation. according T. the iailer.
Deckard took a northbound Santa Fe
train bound for Dewey late at night.
and late Saturday night bis body was
found IN the lonely spot near the nitro
works.
Deckard's head had been hacked in
many places with g sharp instrument.
His tongue had been cut out and his
lower lip chopped away He bad been
washed carefully and no blood was
found on bis clothing, but there was
evidence OF a scrubbing and bis knees
showed traces Of blood which had been
seraped OF. aid there was lint from
towel on his trousers where soap and
water had been applied.

MOTORS
OREGON ROAD WILL USE ElEc
TRICKY BETWEEN WALLACE
AND SPOKANE.

That the .. II. & \. intends to place
motors on the run between Wallace
and Spokane is believed to be as
srred. judging from the present OPP
"rattons OF thu company on the Wal
lace branch. \ motor requires Il
heavier rail than the one in use now
and the company is beginning to re-
place the co-pound rails with 90-pound
rails. which is a heavier rail than
is used ON the Pcndlcton- Spokane
hi dnch. Twelve carloads of this steel
Is at Wardner now and five extra
gangs are employed between here and
Harrison getting the roadbed in order
for the new rails. In these extra
gangs many men are employed, in one
of them alone there are more THAI
100 working.
The cutoff grading on the other
side of Occur d'Alenc lake is COM
plct"d and large force of men is
now employed on surfacing, and rails
will be laid as soon as the surfacine
is completed. The cutoff will then
be in readiness. for the boat that will
make the transfer over the lake is
completed.
Officials of the road assert
that the motor cars will make
the run between Wallace and
Spokane in 2la hours. The 81 miles
from the other side of Occur d.Alcnc
lake Ia Spokane will he made in less
than an hour. it is believed.
1t II said that the company will r"v
rtuiio 'ze tn, passenger service. and
that il is probable that three pass
enscr trains each way will be run
between Wallace and Spokane next
summer when the motors are In op-
Grafton. II is not known yet on what
date the motors will he placed in com
mission. but it probably will not be-
TIL after the first Of the year, One
motor will run between Wallace and
Harrison and the other between Spo-
kane and the lake.
On the Hartman branch lines in thu,
southern part of the state Il number
of these motors are in operation and
they are giving excellent satisfaction
and are making far faster time than
