WOMAN'S SMILES
CAUSE OF CRIME
Mystery of the Shooting Of
Portland Business Man
Partly Solved.
ACCUSED MEN SHOW ALIBlS
EVIDENCE POINTS IN DIRECTION
OF CLEVER CONSPIRACY.

Portland. Ore, July 16.-The mystery il
the shooting Of Rae +. Bracket, prom
/ inent business man, at midnight on Wed
nesday. apparently is growing deeper
Late yesterday afternoon Bracket, who
is perhaps MORALLY wounded. made q
statement to the detectives in which h
named two young business men as his as
ssilants. He said he recognized them BY
their voices, but that was his only means
of Identification. Both men are prOmi-
nently connected and ii appears have
been more or less involved with the ''wo-
man I'm the case" named by Bracket
She is a divorce.
Men Were Not in Town.
One Of the strange features of the
crime. in view Of Brackets Identified
ton Of the two men, is that one of them
practically has proven an alibi and dis
plays documentary evidence of the fact
in the. form of a Pullman ticket showing
that he was in Ashland. Ore, on the
night of the shooting. The other man Is
absent from Portland and has been 50
for a week. it is said. He is employed in
the Portland branch of a large Seattle
machinery house and at the local office
it is positively asserted that he has been
in Seattle and Victoria for the past week.
Anonymous Message.
In view Of these alibis. the theory is
entertained in some quarters that Brack-
EFT was a victim of mistaken identity.
that another man was the intended vic
tim of the two men who did the shoot
ing in the shadow of the trees on Yam
hill street between Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets. One of the detectives
working on the case has received an
anonymous telephone message from d
man to the effect that you are on the
wrong track. You are three blocks out
Of the way
Clever Conspiracy.
Another strange feature of the case is
involved in the alleged connection of
Bracket and the other two men named
by him with the divOrcee. The question
is asked why three married men should
become so enamored of a woman that
two Of them conspire to kill the third
man, and yet the two alleged conspira-
tors each alleged 10 be I'm love with the
woman, still keep on friendly terms with
each other.
If Brackets theory that he was shot
by the two men named by him is borne
out by future developments, he was the
victim of one of the cleveTest murder
cOnspiTaCies Of modern times. The con-
spirstors must have arranged details far
in advance, even to the dates and places
which they would, If apprehended, pro-
duce to prove that they were not in
Portland on the night the conspiracy cul-
minated in the shooting of their victim.

NEW ZEALAND's WHITE ISLAND
Always EnveIoped in Clouds of Steam
Its Strange Lakes.


White Island derives its name from
the clouds of white steam in which 1t
appears to be continually enveloped.
Its area is only 600 acres, and its
heisht about $50 feet above the sea
level.
In form and color it is like repos-
ing camel. while its interior with its
gray, weather beaten, almost perpen-
dicularcliffs, recalls the Coliseum at
Rome. Overhanging the southern
landing place stands column of rock
closely resembling a sentinel, which
has been dedicated to the memory OF
Capt, Cock. The water of the island
is of a pale green hue, and anything
dipped into it becomes of red brick
color. The fumes of sulphur are al
ways plainly perceptible.
On a fine moonlight night wonder
full sight is afforded to any one who
will sit in an open boat in one of the
lakes of the island. Covering an area
of fifty acres is an immense caldron
Lissing and snorting and sending
forth volumes of poisonous steam,
while all chances of egress appear to
be denied by the steep, silent and
gloomy cliffs.

A PAIR OF MYSTERIES SOLVED.
Mr.. MacSwiIliger Now Knows the Fate
of Old Trunks and Suit Cases.

Of Old Trunks and Suit Cases.
81 used to wonder" said Mr.. Mac
Swilliger, what became of all the old
leather trunks and suit cases and
handbags and that sort of thing. OF
course, they must wear out and be
thrown away, but you never saw an
old leather trunk on the rubbish carts
of the street cleaning department, did
you?
81 never did, never; and still they
must 60 somewhere; and l wondered
where. Now l know, or l think
know. They go into meat pies and
things that you get in boarding
houses. l used to wonder where they
got the beef that they put into these
pies, it was so tough; but now
know. They buy these old leather
trunks and cut 'em up into suitable
sized chunks and make this leather
beef up into meat pies.
1T is true that l never yet found
in a boarding house meat pie or beef
stew a trunk lock or piece of a
hinge or any rlvets or corner clamps
or other trunk hardware, but 1t isn't
necessary for me to find these things
in the pie to know; there's a whole
lot of things that we may not be able
to get any actual proof of that we
know just the same are true, and this
is one of them.
Il may not find any buckles or keys
or casters in my meat pie, but l don't
have to; l know what the meat in
the pie is made of we'll enough to
satisfy me, and this is to me a great,
in fact a double, satisfaction. know

ToItec Land Drawing.

Denver. An Antonito dispatch
Thursday night says: Nebraska and
Iowa people drew the cream of the
Toltec tract at the Carey act land
drawing. Several Denver men drew
land. but there were few lucky ones
down state. When the drawing was
completed it was estimated that from
one-third to one-half of the $4,000 acres
had been disposed of.
One of the features of the drawing
was the location of so acres by E. R.
Marshall of Antonito, who got second
choice. The piece he selected is three
miles from Antonito, fenced, has been
farned, has two stacks of alfalfa and
many improvements. The land had
been farmed by Fred Ortiz, well-to-
do land owner of this place, and it
had been supposed that Ortiz held a
patent to it.
The first number drawn was 1888, by
]. Doran of Georgess Iowa. He was
neither here nor represented by an
attorney, and his chance had to be
passed. If he arrives later he will
have to select from what remains Sew
eral Nebraska and Iowa people are on
their way to the drawing failed to ar
rive in time and it is possible that he
is in the party.
The first choice was given to the
next number drawn. 202. held by Guy
7. Nash of Pueblo. He had registered
for 100 acres and selected a tract
about two miles southwest of Antoni
to w. H. Sauber of Stayetown. Pa.

NATIONAL LIVE
s STOCK SHOW
ACTIVE PREPARATIONS FOR THE
GREAT ANNUAL EXHIBITION
IN DENVER.
TO DOUBLE LAST YEARS
BREEDERS OF PEDIeREED STOCK
WILL BRING THEIR BEST
ANIMALS.

Denver.-This city will be the
storm center of the live stock indus
try of the country in January, and
the coming annual stock show and the
conventions of the American National
Live Stock Association, the National
Beef Producers Congress and the
Colorado Cattle Growers Association
VIII provide an opportune occasion to
bring the men engaged in the various
branches of the industry together to
discuss the present most interesting
situation in regard to the meat indus
try.
After long period of fluctuating
markets in which the profits of one
year are swallowed up in the losses
OF the succeeding year, it is generally
agreed that the industry has in sight
a long period of prosperity. So conf
dent are live stock investors of this
fact that they are buying cattle right
and left and banks and money brokers
are besieged for loans with which to
buy more cattle.
Preparations for the big show in
January are being pushed vigorously.
Entries are already pouring in and
the show management is commencing
the construction of additional accom-
modations to take care of the large
amount of stock coming. The show
will be nearly double the size of last
year in every department and General
Manager Skinner is busy planning
how to care for the exhibits. The big
stockmeu of the East are alive to the
situation and realize that the center
OF the industry for the future will be
in the West, with Denver as head
quarters. The breeders of pedigreed
stock are coming to show their best
and to sell some of their animals to
the West and many more are coming
to look over the country and try to
find a location. Thousands of stock
men in the Middle West are selling
their farms with the idea of coming
West to locate where they can control
some cheap grass. The West has the
grass and the time is coming when it
will provide the bulk of the live stock
for the whole country.
