ASTORIA Ore, Nov 14.-Captain
Winkel, of the steam schooner Wash
ington, which was rescued by the little
tug Tattoo last night, today told how
the vessel grounded on the spit. "The
bar was rough when We attempted to
cross he. said. I'VE had almost
reached the open sea when the star
board deckload of lumber was lost
and the ship keeled over until the rail
was awash. The port load was then
released to right the vessel. | be-
lieve one of the chains dragged along
side the propeller and choked it. With
the engines rendered useless and the
fires extinguished, the vessel was soon
at the oceans mercy and quickly
drifted on Peacock spit.

BODY OF ". H. WOLFE
DOUBLE MURDERER,
IS FOUND TODAY

A most sensational find was made
this morning on the Three C ranch,
in brush near New river. 1t was the
body of w. H. Wolfe, the man who, the
evening of July last brutally killed
the two Overman children near the
ten foot drop, northeast of Calexico.
Since that crime was committed
there has been diligent search for
Wolfe, and at one time he was re-
ported to have been seen in Los An
geles.
1t appears now, however, that after
killing the children he went TO the
secluded spot where his body was
found, and with a shotgun blew off the
top of his head.
Sheriff Mobley Meadows and Cor
oner Peterson went to the scene of
the suicide this morning and later in
the day telephoned in that it was the
body of Wolfe.

MAPS SET FORTH
STORY OF VALLEY

The fair owes to the California De-
velOpment Company the most valuable
exhibit ever seen in this section, it
having been prepared by Engineer
Allison of that company. The exhibit
consists of maps of great value, show
ing the valley as it was known in
1900, before the irrigation system was
constructed, as it is now, and as it
will be when the irrigation system has
been extended to cover all available
land. There is not a citizen of the
valley but can we'll afford to come 10
the fair to devote two hours to a
study of these maps.
