Death of Russell Was
Accident

Calgary, Alberta, Aug. "a
Suffering from the strain under
which he has been laboring for
nearly month as a fugitive from
Roseburg, Or, DR.. r. M. Brum-
field, wanted in the Oregon city In
connection with the alleged slay-
ing of Dennis Russell, laborer,
had to be given medical attention
In the city Jail here today. He mad
not slept throughout the night,
and was extremely nervous this
morning. His voice was scarcely
audible.
Send my love to my wife and
children and tell them everything
will be all right" was DR.. Brum-
fields only remark when question
ed by reporter for the Canadian
Press. He declined to make any
other statement. Last night he
said he would tell everything to
the district attorney at .Roseburg.
Valves Extradition.
Brumfield waived all extradi-
tion rights at, headquarters today.
Chief Ritchie read the waiver form
to the prisoner and asked him II
he were willing to sign it and thus
obviate the necessity of legal pro-
ceedings. yes, sir; I'll sign IT,"
replied the doctor.
In the letter which the police
found hidden beneath a mattress
on DR.. Brumfield's bed at the
farm house where he had been en-
ployed as laborer, several points
were brought out coincident of
newspapers accounts of Russell's
Staying. Police ssfd it was evi-
dent Brumfield was writing the
letter to someone vitally interested
in the matter. and a person whom
he was anxious to advise of the de-
tails of the case.
In the letter, the writer related
that he was sitting in front of his
shack one evening when ''the doc
came along. They got into a con-
versation and he (Brumfield) ask
ed If ''the doc" would sell his rifle.
He wrote further that the doc"
returned later that evening with
the rifle and that "the doc gave
him drink OF whisky.
Says Death Accident.
The liquor made his i'll, the let
ter said, and he went for drive
with the other man to try and
straighten up" but that he was
nearly overcome.
The writer said that while ''the
doc" was driving him to the lat
ter's place. the automobile lunged
off the road and upset. He man
aged to jump clear, but his COM
panion was killed. While he was
loking under the car by the light
Of a match, the letter declared, the
machine caught fire and he was
forced to run away to avoid the
explosion. In the meantime he
had changed into some Of "the
Docs clothing.
1t was through an express order
sent by DR.. Brumfield to Seattle
from Banff, Alberta, under the
name Of Norman NJ. Whitney that
his presence in Canada was dis
closed.
Detective Sergeant Waugh of
the Royal Canadian Mounted Po-
lice learning Of the order, went to
Banff, where hc found that the
person who had represented him
self as Norman NJ. Whitney had
secured a position on farm owned
by A. C. Vader. four piles south
of Midnapors.

hand, and wearing heavy mus
taehe and beard, was srrtsted ut

DRAIN TILE HIDDEN
UNDER PAVEMENT
WoRkMEN, AFTER TEARING UP
SECTIONS OF MADISON ST. IN
SEARCH OF SEWER INLET, ARE
: FORCED TO GIVE UP JOB AS
HOPELESS.

Searchers who have been tearing up
Madison street In quest Of tile lead
ing from a curb drain In front of the
National CITY bank building, have
been forced to abandon the task as
hopeless, after ripping up large sec
tions Of the concrete foundation and
brick surface, according to announce.
ment made the city council last night
by Commissioner Edward Dougherty.
The men, who have been operating
under Mr. Dougherty's department,
broke through the pavement In half
dozen places without results and
have only their time and lot of
trouble to show for the work The
purpose Of the search was to uncover
drain, which because Of its failure
to function properly, leaves Madison
street under large quantities of wa
ter after every rainfall. In winter a
sheet of ice, dangerous to pedestrians
covers the thoroughfare at that point.
After putting In two weeks without
any success In finding the tile, which
leads to the main sewer, Commission
or Dougherty said he had made ar.
rang@nents with the owners of the
Arfnory block to attach the curb
drain leads to their private inlets,
thus providing means Of carrying
Off the street waters in the future
No record Is available, Commission
or Dougherty announced, OF where
the tile from the outlet leads, nor in
which direction it travels.
THE only way we could find the
tile" Mr.. Dougherty said, would be
to tear up the whole street, and
think we have done enough tearing
up without putting the city to any
more expense"

Weeks said, to an attempt on his
part to get reduction of twenty cents

ton company had contracted for their
cement before the drop was an
