SEASIDE is SWEPT
BY FIERCE STORMS

Seaside, Ore, Jan. 10.-For the past
three days Seaside has been in the
throes Of one of the worst wind and
rain storms that has struck this coast
in many years.
For several days prior to Monday
the barometer was unsettled, then it
began to fall, and did not stop until
It reached the point of low register.
The storm began with a heavy snow
fall followed late Monday afternoon
by heavy rain. The wind kept rising
until the waves were lashed into a
froth that at times fringed the beach
several feet high. The fury Of the
breakers swept strip of the sidewalk
away in front Of several cottages. The
waves at times swept over the lawns of
the homes along the board walk, but
beyond depositing driftwood and sea-
foam, the lawns were undamaged. Tel
ephone poles we're broken down and
several pieces Of wreckage were
tossed ashore.

were so badly scared, he said, that
they offered to "let him in on the
game" if he would keep quiet. Wink
field said he did not know why the
letters We're being stolen and denied
that he ever received one-third Of the
$34 900 said to have been divided be-

81 learned the business of all the big
men who came to see Standard Oil
officials through handling their cards
before letting them in," said Wink

and could not get raise, so just
agreed to get in the game. Morrell
who was an office boy and file clerk,
and Stump would go over the copy
books and when they came to n letter
that looked good, they took It to q
photographer"
WINFIELD said he did not know tho
present whereabouts of Stump and
Morell. He declared he would make u
clean breast Of his connection with
the affair before the senate committee
