In that section Of the county there are
over one hundred cross roads on which
g person can easily be lost unless they
Harrison says that the sudden depa rture
from Reese and the swift manner in
which the bandits were seen walking
along the roads indicates that they were
entirely familiar with their bearings and
were making for place Of safety The
fact that they had intended coming back
TO Ogden on the passenger engine, and

jim WARNER DEAD.

Jim Warner, the aged Indian who
was shot last March at his home on
the Siletz river, died last Wednes-
day morning of secondary hemorr-
hage.
Immediately after Warmers death
DIR. Clausius, the Agency physician,
held post mortem examination and
pronounced death by the above'
cause.
1t will be remembered that on
March 22nd Jim Warner and Loyal
Chandler went from Siletz down the
river to Warmers home. The two
had been drinking heavily and the
two probably quarreled and Chand-
Ter is said to have shot Warner with
a revolver, the bullet striking the
Indian in the head but did not kill
him. Chandler was arrested and
brought to Toledo and later was
charged with assault with a danger
Gus weapon. He was tried in JUS
tice Anderson's court and was fined
500 and cots.
On Warmers death coroner's in
quest was held, Coroner Carter re-
turning from the scene last evening.
Chandler will undoubtedly be taken
in charge and probably be charged
with murder. The Coroner's Jury
rendered the following verdict:
We, the jury empaneled to rend-
er verdict in the case of James
Warner, deceased, find that deceased,
James Warner, died from cerebral
hemorrhage secondary in nature,
but due to the primary injury, said
injury caused from gunshot wound
inflicted by revolver in the hands
of Loyal Chandler, March %, 1911.
