Filler KILLS
CAMP COOK
A Lindsey, Probably Insane,
Says God Told Him Ed.
Gosseling Was Devil
POSSE WOUNDS SLAYER
Murder Committed Just In
Side Grays Harbor Line
At Simpson Camp 7

Declaring that God told him Ed
Gosseling was the devil, \. Linquist,
saw filler at Simpson Camp No. Z,
was shot in the arm by deputy sher-
ifs who were searching for him after
he had killed Ed Gosselng, the camp
cook, Saturday morning.
Gosseling had just finished his work
and was walking to his cabin. Lin
quist shot him with a high-powered
rifle, apparently without warning, as
he was walking down the railroad
track.
Linquist barricaded himself in a
cabin in the camp but later left for
F'risken V He was walking along the
track when Sheriff Bartell and Deputy
Sheriff McKenny saw him. They al
lowed him to pass them and then or
dered him to drop his gun.
The man wheeled suddenly and with
a menacing attitude. McKenney, who
had a sawed-off shot gun, fired and
wounded Linquist in the arm at the
same time knocking the rifle from his
hand.
Linquist was taken to Jail at Mon
tesano and told of .fancied insults by
Bosseling. He said they were riding
on a train recently when Gosselins
gave several friends many drinks
while he only gave Linquist one. From
Linquist's talk it was gathered he haC
planned the murder since last week
Sunday.
Gosseling is married and has foul
children. Not much is known of Lin
quist. He has been working at the
camp since January. Before that he
worked for Warren brothers at Lebam

ink-I don't think there is anything
inconsistent in any Of his testimony
with the facts as they appear to the
court find that there is no evidence
to justify a charge that Finch has,
fraudulently concealed any thing from
the company or from it's officers, or
that he has fraudulently or purposely
misrepresented the condition of the
books. There seems to have been
some little looseness, perhaps, about
the bookkeeping and some little loose
ness about the transaction Of busi-
ness, but l am convinced as Mr..
France testified and | believe other
stockholders, that at that time they
had the utmost confidence in Mr..
Finch and | think there is nothing in
the evidence in this case that ought to
change their opinion-about his con-
duct in that matter. l don't believe
from the evidence that he intention
ally tried to deceive the company in
any of the matters relating to the
transaction of this business-either de-
ceit or fraud"

He May Recover Possession
of Union Pacific Addi-

MONTESANO, April 2.-Judge Ben
Sheeks did not leave the bench Satur-
day at the conclusion of arguments
from counsel for Z. G.. Finch and the
Aberdeen Realty company but gave
his decision in which he entirely vim
dicated Mr.. Finch from any wrong
doing.
Judge Sheeks concluded that Mr..
Finch lived up to his contract. The
latter is given the right to recover
the possession of unsold property in
Union Pacific addition and whatever
loss he may have sustained by having
been deposed or he may elect to bring
suit against the company for having
cancelled his contract.
AS soon as the arguments had been
completed, Judge Sheeks expressed
himself as follows:
Interlined Before Signing.
81 will say in the first instance that
am satisfied from the evidence, and
great weight of the evidence is in
the mind of the court, that the inter
linations in this contract were made
before signing. The testimony on that
was the testimony of Mr.. Douglas, the
vice president, and others; the testi
mony of some four witnesses who
seemed to know or claimed to have
known at the time of the signing
Mr. France has testified that he was
