HERMIT MURDERS
Twin NEPHEWS IN
WASHINGTON W|LDS
Youths Bodies Found Near
Isolated Shack OF Eccentric
Relative.

Aberdeen, Wash, Sept 6.-Blood-
hounds were this morning put on the
trail of John Turno, an aged hermit,
who is believed to have killed his
nephews, the Bauer twins, aged nine
teen years, whose bodies were found
several hours after they had been
slain near the shack of the hermit,
in a remote place in the wilds of the
Wyanchee country.
The two youths had been shot t.
death and a search for their uncle
revealed the fact that he had absent
ed himself from his abode and it is
believed that he shot them while
temporarily insane, as he is known to
have been subject to spells when his
mind would become unbalanced.
1t is presumed that he imagined
that the two nephews had come to
his home to assassinate him, as he
frequently labored under the idea that
his life was being sought by sup
posed foes.J
His trail has been picked up and
il is likely that he will be captured
within few hours. Many fear that
he will commit suicide.

MOVEMENT STARTS
FOR COMMISSION
FORM GOVERNMENT
Matter Taken Up By CONNER
cial Association and Urged
By Many

AS result of action taken at the
meeting of the Commercial club last
evening a special meeting will be
held on Tuesday, September 10, for
the purpose of discussing the commits
sion form of government and of pro-
vding for voting upon the same at the
coming city election.
The subject was brought before
the meeting last night by Judge S. A.
Lowell, who dwelt briefly upon the
plan and the wonderful favor with
which it is being received throughout
the country. He moved that the COM
mittee on city affairs be instructed
to draft a new charter embodylng the
commission plan. The motion was
seconded, by Dr. c. ]. Smith. How
ever, the motion was later on amend
ed so as to provide for the calling of
n special meeting to consider the sub
ject.
In a brief debate which ensued
while the subject was under discus
sion, w. Il. Thompson opposed the
commission idea, while DR.. c. ]. Smith
and others spoke in favor of the plan.
Mr.. Thompson urged that the plan
would be expensive in Pendleton and
that the city should first wait and see
how the plan works out at Baker and
Walla Walla.
In support of the commission plan
DR. Smith declared the expense would
be far less than estimated by Mr.
Thompson and urged the commission
plan as being far superior TO The pres
ent form of city government.
Councilman T. G. Montgomery al
so declared himself favorable to the
commission plan, but as chairman of
the city interests committee he asked
that further time be taken by the
club before final action be taken.
