tigated at his own request The may
or has asked the grand jury to begin
a graft investigation with himself
as the target. His action followed
a rumor, which he said, came to his
ears that he had been accused of
grating.
In letter to the grand jury Nc
Carthy says certain men, whose
names were given the grand jury
but were not made public, had
stated that the mayor had accepted
brides. one of which was said to be
$4,000 and another 100000. The
mayor asks that these rumors be in
vestigated and denies that there is
any foundation for them. The mayor
was asked concerning the truth If
the rumors that he had been told by
the editors of three San Francisco
papers to resign or he would be ex-
posed. He denied there was any
truth in the rumor and said that the
editors never called on him.
1t is expected that the grand jury
will begin its investigation Tues
day.

INSANITY OF FAMILY
It is Said That the Couple QuarreIl.
ed During the Day-Bodies Burn
ed Beyond Recognition.
Revolver Found.

MT. PLEASANT, Nov. 26.-That
Charles Mabeus shot his wife, then.
after setting fire to his home, laid
down on a bed and fired shot
through his own brain is the only in
ference that can be drawn from the
circumstances surrounding the trag
edy at the Mabeus home near Demo-
va yesterday.
Shortly after noon fire was discoy-
cred in the large farm house of MIR.
and Mrs. Charles Mabeus. The fire
was discovered by the mother-in-law
of Mr. Mabeus and the alarm at once
given to the neighborhood. Help was
soon at hand, but it was too late to
do anything, and the house was COM
pletely destroyed. AS none of the
family appeared at the scene of the
fire, it was supposed that Mr.. and
Mrs Mabeus were in Mt. Pleasant,
as 1t was known that Two Of the
sons were away at work and the 9th
er In school.
AS the fire began to die down, how
ever, what appeared to be human
form was noted in the dying embers,
and to the horror of all 1t was soon
determined that some one had per-
ished in the flames. Efforts were at
once made to extinguish the remain
/ ing fire. but before the work was
done still another body was found
in the ruins.
AS soon as they we're taken out II
was found that they were Mr.. and
Mrs. Mabeus. Mr. Mabeus was found
on the remains of mattress with
a revolver by his side. The remains
of his wife were found in another
part of the house. No traces of a
bullet hole have been discovered
but considering the time of day, indl
cations that neither had lost life IN
trying to save the other. that Mr.
Mabeus was found on bed with
pistol at his side. leads to but one
conclusion, that is that he shot MS
4 wife after setting fire to the house
and then shot himself.
The destruction of the house anc
contents was complete, but some "a
the outbuildings were saved. The cor
oner's inquest which will be held oV
err the tragedy will possibly bring g
hight some other information tha'
NAV in a way clear up the mystery
surrounding the horror.

afternoon by the navy. Score: Navy

the West Pointers in practically ev-

after the fortunes of the game had
proven varying but indecisive, Right
Half Back Dalton, a sturdy middle,
kicked goal from placement and
scored the only three points of the

out on top. The navy was the short

increment like real sports, Dalton,

There are 1000 acres in the Wal
Iowa valley this season devoted to
sugar beet culture. Last year the
acreage, was $50. Most of the sugar
beet land is in the neighborhood of
Lostine and Enterprise. This indus
try is new and the outcome is being
watched with interest by all the
farmers.
A number of petitions have been
filed with the secretary of the state
of Oregon, asking for a vote on state
wide prohibition. Chief Clerk Corey
states that nearly all OF them will
have to be rejected. as the circula-
tors have not complied with the state
law.
