Infatuated Lover Shoots and Kills Woman While Husband

Tries in Vain to Rescue WifeMrs. Neo Fisher, Former Cottage Grove Girl, Meets

Tragic Death; Crazed Man Locks Self in Room With Woman; Ends Life o f Self and Woman While Help Is but Few Feet Away; Funeral Is Held Here.

The funeral of Mrs. Jess Fisher, formerly Miss Neo Watkina o f this city, who met a tragic death in Port­lsnd Saturday, was held from Mills' Chapel Tuesday, Rev. C. M. Cobb officiating. Interment was made in the A. F. & A. M. cemetery.

The circumstances which led up to the death of Mra. Fisher have not been elenred up. Certain it is. however, that the murderer who ’ took her life nd afterwards committed suicide, was

| madly in love with her, the two having | become acquainted at a home where Mta. Fisher had formerly worked ae a domestic.

Mrs. Neo Fisher just before noon Sat­urday, the tragic climax o f an “ affair” , with a man who then shot himself and fell dead across her body.

The man, E, W. Allen, a plumber, working for the Portland Heating com­pany, had become crazed over her. Saturday morning at 11:30 o ’clock he ruBhed into the house at 308 Mill street, where she lived with her husband, dsshed up the stairs and into her room.

For 20 minutes, with the door barri­caded, he kept her there, holding off | with threats o f death any one who should interfere with him. He fired three shots at her husband, Jess Fisher,

Each of Old Couple Has Cow; Both Animals Have

Twin Calves Same DayK IL E OF the Row River country, reports an un­usual coincidence regard­

ing the birth o f calves and one that probably never happened before and never will again.

Mr. and Mrs. K ile both have Jersey cows. Not long ago both cows gave birth to calves on the same day. This in itself is not so odd, but both births were twins. Twins are themselves unusual, and that the only two cows on the place should have twins on the same day Mr. and Mrs. K ile consider very unusual.

The animal ia seven years o f age and ia one which Mr. Gardner bred and raised himself. Proper breeding he claims to be a requisite in raising milk producers. .

MAY USE HOUND TO CATCH MISCHIEF

MAKERS .Bloodhounds may be called into ser­

vice to catch parties who are commit­ting depredations around the school bouse in District No. 45. J. E. Over- holser and J. E. Ashby, two o f the directors, were in the city Tuesday and expressed the opinion that that was the only way to successfully cope with the situation.

They have an idea that the damagehas been done by children, but are not certain. They think an example should be made o f someone to stop the mali­cious mischief that has been carried on there and expect to use the Cottage Grove hound the next time anything happens.

Grove Students as Editors.Among members of the school of

journalism, which will issue the Eugene Guard tomorrow, appear the names of Carlton Spencer as asssitant editor and Nellie Hemenway as assistant mag»- zine editor. Both are Cottage Grove students.

LORANE WANTS CREDIT FOR • FIRST BERRIES

H. O. Nightingale writes from Lo­rane : “ Regarding firat strawberries for the season, would say Geo. Salton and Cottage Grove are not in it. Sun­day, May 18, we picked a mesa; had strawberries and cream—yum, yum— and shortcake; Monday a few for our neighbors; Wednesday a crate and ever since the finest strawberries ever. A common occurrence—give Lorane the credit.”

“ There is no need for you to worry about that boy, he’ ll make it all right anywhere,” was the greeting to Mrs. Jasper Patten when she arrived at Wendling last Friday to get 14-year-old Willie Patten, who so completely dis appeared last week and for whom several daya had been spent by friends in tbe neighborhood dragging Mosby Creek and searebing tbe woods.

Mrs. Patten returned with the boy Saturday and the parents have decided to let the lad follow out hia desire and gc to work. He has secured a position in the Shearer saw mill and. started to work Monday morning. He is a thrifty young fellow and will, no doubt, add considerable to the bank account which he already had in this city.

Willie walked all the way to Wend­ling, and when his mother arrived had a position in the machine shop with an acquaintance of the family, who waa quite surprised at the boy’s ap­pearance there, not knowing until the next day o f the great worry he was causing parents and friends o f the family.

W illie said he had run away because he had had some trouble at school, and didn’ t want to go any more. When told that his mother was nearly dis­tracted because she thought he might be drowned, be was anxious for ber to be notified where he waa.

While searebing for his own boy, Mr. Patten located a boy for another father who had traced his son to this city. The name o f this father was not learned, but he was from Seattle and the lad had been coaxed off by a man.

ONE THIRD OF THOSE WHO PASS EXAMS. ARE FROM GROVE

One-third o f those who were success­ful in tbe examinations taken by offi­cers o f the Coast Artillery Corps fo l­lowing the recent school o f instruction at Fort Stevens, are o f Sixth Co., stationed at Cottage Grove. Twentj- ■ix officers attended the school and |6 took the examinations. Six passed, and o f these six two were Capt. H. K. Metcalf and Lieutenant Lee Roy Woods o f this city.
