UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRn.I

Newport, Ore, July 28.-With the
positive declaration of two sisters of
Miss Sophia Nois, who is missing,
that the crushed and broken skele-
ton found on the beach here in n
gunny sack is not that of Miss Nois,
the efforts of the authorities to iden-
tify the murdered woman seem fur
ther away than ever today.
The sisters of Miss Nois, Mrs, e:
A. Alloway of Blodgett and Mrs.
John Gunsalus of Jefferson reached
Newport last evening. They imme-
diately went to the morgue to view
the bones in a faint hope that the
remains might be those of their sis
ter whom they firmly believe COM
mitted suicide as her farewell note
stated.
Without emotion they gazed upon
the barnacled remnants of a human
being and minutely inspected the
looking glass, the scrap of silk, the
bottles and cards which were in the
gunny sack when John Schlesser, of
Albany, found it. They were unable
to identify anything that. would in
dicate that the mass of human
wreckage before them was their sis
ter's.
Mrs. Alloway said her sister So
phia had her teeth filed with gold
a short time before she went to
Newport, The teeth in the grimac-
ing skull before her, she said, were
not Sophia's.
Two inquests have been held over
the skeleton. The last one held yes
terday resulted in the jury return
ing a verdict that the woman had
been killed by a blunt instrument,
and that it was evidently a case OF
murder.
Sheriff Ross, of Lincoln county,
said today that no efforts would be
spared in the hunt for the woman's
murderer.

ton identified soon," said the sher-

Pictures and Reward.

Paris, July 2S.-Pictures and
detailed description of DR.. H. Fl.
Crippen, the American dentist, ac-
cused by the London police of the
murder of his wife in their home at
Islington, near London, were posted
today in conspicuous places at the
Paris police station. With the pic
ture is posted an offer of a $1,000
reward, offered by the Scotland
Yard authorities for Crippen's ar
rest.
Crippen and Mile. Leneve are sup
posed to be aboard the steamer Mont
rose, bound for Canada. The post
ing of the pictures and the offer uf
reward in Paris is believed by some
to indicate that Scotland Yard may
have received information which
contradicts the theory that Crippen
is on the Montrose.

STRANGE COMPANIONS.
The "Happy Family" and Kitten and
Hawk.


Hawk.
The first public exhibition of HAP.
py family" in England was given
ABOUT fifty years ago, when there were
SHOWN monkey, cat, several rats
and three or four pigeons in one cage.
The monkey was on excellent terms
with the cat so long as puss would
allow him to warm himself by cud-
ding her; otherwise he would show
his vexation by slyly giving her tail
nip with his teeth.
The birds perched on the cats back
and pecked at her fur, and the rats
were as friendly with their natural
enemy as If she were one of their own
sort.
A lady walking in tie Isle of Wight
observed little kitten curled up on
a messy bank taking a midday nap.
AS she stopped to stroke it a hawk
swooped down and, pouncing upon the
kitten, hid 1t from sight
The lady, fearing for the life of the
kitten, tried to rescue it, but the hawk
nrmly faced her, stood at bay and re-
fused to move. She FASTENED to
fsherman's cottage and told the in
mates of the impending tragedy.
ITS always sO," they said, laughing.
"That hawk always comes down If
any one goes near the kitten. He has
taken to it and stays near at hand
to watch whenever it goes to Sleep"
The lady, greatly interested, made
further inquiry and learned that the
Kittens mother had died, after which
the nursling was missed for several
days. One day the hawk was seen
about the cottage picking up scraps of
meat and carrying them to the roof of
the cottage.
The fisherman climbed up and found
the lost kitten nestled in hole in the
thatch and thriving under the care of
Its strange foster father. 1t was
brought down and restored to the cot
tage, but the hawk would not resign
his charge and was always n. hand toll
