Federal troops in Oregon,

and Montana will be placed at
the disposal of the forest service
to aid in fighting forest fires in
the Pacific states.
President Taft, in response to
an appeal from the coast, tele-
graphed the escretary of war, as
follows: You may direct the
commanding officers of posts,
upon application by them to lend
every assistance in their power
for the suppression of forest

Reports here are to the effect
that $4,000 acres of forest lands
have been swept by the fires.
The rangers have been working
under tremendous strain and
probably a thousand troops will
be sent to their relief to prevent
destruction of valuable timber.

she doesn't know that she is a

anything-but the tender, rasped

Lucy's case sets a precedent in
baby annals. Usually they die
when fed on diet of paregoric
in doses to which Lucy is accus-
toned. Her mother gave her Is

Lucy isn't dead-yet.

SOLICITED DOODLE MAY BE
MENTIONED by UNKNOWN
WITNESS-SOME CONGRESS-
MEN AND SENATOR'S ARE
WORRIED.

M'ALIESTER, Okla. Aug. s.
j. c. McMurray, holder of the
Indian land contracts that have
resulted in charges of bribery
made by Senator Gore, probably
will be called before the con-
gressional investigating commit
tee, which resumed its sessions
here today. Although the COM
mittee had not intended to call
NtMuITay, it is believed that the
testimony of d. c. McCurtain, son
of Chief Green McCurtain of the
Choctaws, i'm which it was charg-
ed that McMurray had offered him
$25, 900 to withdraw his opposi-
tion to the contracts, will result
in the summoning of the man be-
hind the deal.
Sensation Expected.
Besides the testimony which il
is expected McMurray will give
antoher sensation is expected to
be developed by the testimony of
an unknown witness, who, it is
said, will be called.
Asked For Bribe.
This witness probably will ap-
pear before the committee at
Oklahoma City. According to the
reports here, he will show that
a prominent legislator went to a
certain contract holder and of
fered to use his influence to have
the contracts declared valid in re-
turn for a stipulated sum. Com
senators and politicians
are eXpectant. The committee
members refuse to confirm the re-
port that such a witness is to be
called.
A number of Indians will be
called to the stand here and
questioned closely concerning
their land deals. They will be
asked whether they desired to sell
The land and will be asked what
fees they have paid lawyers for
the transactions in which they
have figured.
Those who have been watching
the committee colsely during the
hearings already held predict that
no matter what the finding may
1e, so far as the bribery charges
are concerned, the committee will
recommend drastic legislation for
the protection of the Indians.

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Aug. s.
Evidence sufficient to warran the
Indictment of Manjiro Yamaguchi
or the filing against him of a com,
plant charging him with murder
is in the hands of the Sonoma
county officials today, according to
District Attorney Lea. The au-
thorities will take no definite
action at present, devoting all
their energies to search of the
Starbuck ranch where the three
Kendalls were killed.
Sheriff Smiths deputies today
continued their search of the ra-
vines and canyons of the ranch in
the hope of finding additional
charred bones or other relics that
might show that T. A. Kendall,
the son, also was killed. A bun
die of bone fragments, including
a jaw bone, found yesterday, be-
lieved to have been that of young
Kendall, was brought here today
for examination by surgeons and
dentists.
The jaw bone is relied upon by
the Sonoma officials to establish
the fact that young Kendall was
killed and his body cremated.
In the jay are gold filled teeth
and these, it is hoped, will estab-
lish identity.
Owing to the present uncertain
ty regarding the number of victims
in the ranch tragedy, the date of
an inquest has not yet been set.
In the absence of definite proof,
the authorities are still working
on the theory of revenge and rob-
berry as the motives for the triple
crime.
