Ryan's body was found June 30.
about noon. by two boys. Two
bullet holes In his head and n
pair OF blood-stained mittens in
his pocket led the sheriffs TO be-
lieve that the murder had been
carefully planned. The body had
evidently been thrown off the Du-
vanish bridge.
That Ryan feared foul play. pos
sibly because of the numerous muir
dcrs OF rent car drivers. Is shown
by the fact that he left all the
money he had In a safe deposit
vault, along with a note saying
that the money should be turned
over TO his sister.

OLYMPIA, July 1i.--After an
all-lay Investigation Thursday
into the murder Of an unknown
woman. whose nearly naked
body was found in shallow
grave on the n. II. Pitner farm.
seven and half miles south OF
Olympia, Wednesday. county Of
ficials have ascertaincd the facts
about n follows:
A month ago--June "a large.
dark-colored automobile. presumably
black. heavy, with an oregon license
plate. drew up at the roadside TO
make camp for the night. Neigh
bors differed in their remembrance
OF the type OF auto. Some said IL
was Cadillac or Oldsmobie. others
believe that il was Dodge or
Chevrolet. At any rate. II was load.
ed down with camping parapher.

persons could comfortably sit in the
car.
The only person seen was a man

woman was not seen. The car drew

camp for the night.
House In Flames
The location is right near the
banks of the Des Chutes river. a
popular FISHING stream The grounds
there are often used by automobile
camping parties. Only the unusual
action OF her collie dogs who kept
barking and making a disturbance
late at night. aroused tho attention
OF Mrs. John Sheehan. living close
by. She was unable to sleep. and
recalled that at about O'Clock. June
io--she heard what was thought TO
be joIlification in the house. Two
hours later the house was aflame.
and the next morning II was burned
to the ground.
That the murdered woman was
shot thru the head. the bullet enter.
ing out behind the ear on the left
side. and that she was also struck by
a blunt instrument. is borne out by
the crushed condition of the skull,
both on top and on the left side.
The woman's body. after the muir
der. was taken across the highway
and nearly 200 yards beyond into
the woods. near burned-out stump
on the Pitner farm. and there quick.
ly buried in a shallow grave. The
body was flung face down. and COW
cred with little earth, ferns and
leaves.
Ring Was Found
Except for a union suit Il light
and fine texture. the body was nude.
The woman's clothing was consigned
TO flames. Neighbors the next day
searched the ruins OF the house, but
found nothing. except a plain gold
ring, a mans ring. with an indis.

up by Mrs. Sheehan and turned over
to Prosecuting Attorney Thomas

fire was started to cover up the
crime.

that was found. These were In the

than anything else TO establish her
identity. in the opinion OF Prosecut.
ting Attorney oLeary. one OF the
teeth in the lower right jaw IL
crowned: many OF the upper front
teeth have filings OF various sizes.
Ii was impossible to obtain a de.
scription of the womans face. the
head being badly decomposed while
the rest OF the body was in a fair
state of preservation. Outside OF the
injuries to the head. there were no
other marks OF mutilation. Opinions
differed as to the woman's age. Sher.
IN Clifford thought she was 2s or 80.
while Chief Cusack believed she
might be over 40 years.
The woman's hair was black and
not very long. IL had probably been
done up loosely on top and fallen in
a mass to the left side. From the
the right temple the woman had been
shot at close range with a weapon
OF about 80 calibcr. The left side OF
the head was badly shattered by the
bullet.
Advances Theory
II am satisfied the woman was
shot IN the house. her bloody cloth
ing stripped from her. and set fire
to, together with the house. while the
murderer planted the corpse in the
woods before making his escape in
the Machine said Sheriff Clifford.
Tho corset string may have been
used to bind cloth around her head
, while the man carried the body TO the
shallow hole, and then the cloth. too,
was put into the flames"
The burned house had only a
couple OF rooms
The murder recalled to Olympians
and others the repetition of about
two murders a year that have oc-
Cured In Thurston county during
the past decade. Invariably also the
murdcrers have been apprehended.

Market and Industrial News of the Day
FINANCIAL

New York, April! Trading in today's
active and strong stock market was gov
erned to a far greater extent than at any
recent period by the confident tone OF
advices from abroad.
Statements from Influential quarters to
the effect that the peace treaty Is pro-
crossing toward early ratification caused
hasty retreat Of the shorts and probably
prompted renewed buying Of standard
shares by conservative interests.
Home developments, such as the further
relaxation of call money on last Satur-
days favorable bank statement, and re-
ports from western and southern centers
which reflected the growth Of optimism
over crop prospects and general trade con-
ditions. doubtless contributed to the move
ment.
The prominence Of commission houses
In the days broad operations was accepted
ticipation from interior points which have
provided much of the markets monen-
tum Of recent weeks.
Rails and United states Steel made rel
atively little Roadway, dealings In trans
portations being limited to popular lead
kept within narrower bounds, forfeiting
half It's gain OF 1 4 points.
American International corporation, prl-
marily an organization for the promotion
Of export and import business, but possess
ing wide and powerful affiliations, was
the spectacular feature. outstripping all
other stocks on its advance Of almost 10
points.
Oils motors, shippings, equipments sug-
ars tobaccos. distillings, chemical and fer
tilizer issues furnished unusually large
proportions to the diversified trading at

MEXICAN TRADE
DISCUSSED AT
LAREDO Farley
Interchange OF Commerce
Hampered by Lack Of Rail-
road Equipment; Will Ask
Help from U. S.

Jewett, Tex, April THE first
conference of the Mississippi Val
ley associations trade mission with
Mexican officials to formulate plans
for resumption OF commerce be.
tween Mexico and the United States,
will be held today in Laredo. Tex.,,
when members of the party meet
Governor Niceforo Zambrano of
Nuevo Leon, Governor ,Recault of
Tamaulipas, and Governor Wireless
of Coahuila. The three Mexican
governors are coming to Laredo to
confer with Governor Hobby of
Texas. regarding imports and ex-
ports between the two republics.
Members of the trade commission
expect to gather much valuable
information from the meeting.
Z. L. Cobb, adviser on Mexican
matters to the United States war
trade board, met the Mississippi
Valley party on board train this
morning, and gave them an illumin-
ating talk on commerce conditions
in Mexico. This party has already
encountered the sentiment that pre-.
walls along the border to the effect
that the United States railroad ad-
ministration must loan the Mexican
National railways rolling stock if
this country desires an interchange
of commerce.
Mexican rail lines are reported al.
most denuded of rolling stock in
good repair, and large business in
terests in that country are being
forced to supply their own trains
when they wish to move any con-
siderable quantity OF freight, 1t is
said.
All other barriers to commerce
between the two countries have
disappeared with the removal of re-
strictions on passports out of the
United States, and the party has
been advised strongly to use all its
influence to bring American mer-
chants to the Mexican market
ahead of buyers from other coun-
tries.
