Roseburg, Aug. 18.-The mys- tery as to whether Dr. R. M. Brumfeld, we'll known Oregon dentist, had been killed by the overturning of his automobile or was a murderer in hiding was solved Wednesday, when he was captured by members of the Canadian Mounted Police near Calgary.
 On the 18th of last month pr. Brumfeld's auto was found Tn somewhat secluded spot a few miles from Roseburg, overturned and partially burned. Under the machine was found the headless body of man dressed in the dentists clothing and wearing @ ring known to belong to the den tist. Suspicion. however, was aroused by the finding at the scene of the wreck of a watch and papers belonging to Dennis Russell, a Roseburg laborer, who proved to be missing. On the other hand, the positive identifi- cation of the body as that of Dr. Brumfeld by his wife gave a strange air of mystery to the case. The police, from the start, disputed the wife's Identification and immediately began search for Brumfield.
 The police now claim that the murder took place at Brumfeld's home. where the head was de- stroyed by dynamite to prevent identification, the body dressed in the dentists clothing and taken to the scene of the wreck, where the machine had been run over an embankment and fired.
 The motive. the authorities contend, is the S25, ,OOO life insur- ance carried by Brumfeld, which

WILL CUT RATES
FOR RAIIID HAY

Shortly after the hearing of the
interstate commerce commission, on
the freight rates on cattle some time
ago, the editor of the Walden Star
interviewed a number of the hay
shippers of that section and took the
matter up of possibly getting a reduc-
ton in hay freight rates to Denver
and ether intermediate points. While
in Denver he interviewed Judge J. T.
Sippey who once before secured a
lower freight rate for the North Park
hay shippers, and together formulat-
ed q plan to secure this reduction.
Judge Shippey met the men who
would have the granting of the lower
rates both on the Union Pacific and
the Colorado, Wyoming and Eastern
railroad. ana put up the proposition
Of the cost OF producing the cost OF
baling and the cost of putting the
hay on ears land SO impressed the
railroad men that under the prob
abe price of hay at market, a lower
rate must be granted il much hay
was to be shipped from North Park
this fall.
Judge Shippey asked that the
rate be reduced from S6.25 per ton
to 81 per tor. Officials for both the
Union Pacific and the Colorado.
Wyoming and Eastern road have
agreed and will recommend a reduc-
ton of 25 per ent and possibly
30 1/3 per cent.-Laramie Repub-

grown. Licenses are required by all
persons over fourteen years to shoot
game birds and the past few days
have been rather busy ones for

to get their allowance of chickens.

WinifYed Black Writes About:
Getting Your Moneys Worth

baggage trucks full OF trunks up and
down the railroad station, and no
one even looked at him or thought
working for a living again. Then
he became a station agent, and
worked quietly and well the rest
of his life. And now, he's dead,
in a little town in the West. / sup
pose they've buried him on some
windy hill, or in some forlorn
stretch Of prairie. and these-as far
as we knows an end to Coal Oil
Johnnie.
What fool he was to throw all
his mopey away so fast, Now. If
lived in a house with a cupola on
it. and had an iron dog in the gar
den and a conservatory with two
potted rubber plants and a dusty
palm off the dining room-and the
little local newspapers would have
referred to him as a distinguished
citizen.
But somehow. foolish though he
was, / rather think 1 like Coal OIL
Johnnie just a little. and / wonder
if he didn't get his moneys worth
after all
I'm afraid I'm just stupid enough
to love the sound of money ring
ing on the counter or the rustic OF
bill as somebody goes TO get 1t
changed.
And Yet-And Yet.
II isn't what you get with money
that makes you feel so good about
it-not of you're a spendthrift born
and bred - it's the fun OF feeling
rich all to yourself. The eestacy of
being like a bird in the air of
fish in the sea - free, free, held
down by no little strings and small
prudence and hateful common
sense
How great it must be to be an
eagle-and whenever you're tired OF
Llace, just spread your wings and
fly, and not care what is left be-
hind, or who, or how dull and gray
il is on the surface Of the earth
so long as you can soar with beat
ing heart above the clouds.
Poor Coal Oil johnnie suppose
1 ought TO be very sorry for you or
to disapprove of you as a foolish
spendthrift-but somehow. keep
wondering. Wasn't it lot Of fun
while it lasted-and were you, after
all, such an awful fool?
