PROBING DEATH
OF WOMAN WHO
WAS MURDERED
REDWOOD CITY, Cal., June 8 (by
Associated Press).-—Hotels of the lit
tle town of Pescadero are crowded
with professional and amateur inves
tigators who are trying to find out
who clubbed to death Mrs. Sara Co
burn, the wealthy widow on Tuesday.
Wallace Loren Coburn, an incompet
ent stepson of Mrs. Coburn, was found
holding the dead woman’s head. The
stepson is 63 years old and rambles
in his talk, being unable to say any
thing.
MILD STAMPEDE TO
TAKU RIVER COUNTRY
Considerable attention is being at
tracted by reports that are filtering
out from the Taku river country. A
number of prospectors left for the
river early this spring and others are
leaving for there all the time. Sev
eral parties will leave later in the
season.
Navigation of the river has been
solved by a man named Strong, who
operates a boat on the river. The
vessel was in Douglas this week.
It is about forty feet in length, built
for light draft and in the shape of
a scow. It is powered with a 60
horsepower engine. It makes the trip
from there to the mouth of the river
in two and a quarter hours, and makes
a speed of nine miles an hour against
the current of the Taku. The same
man is having a larger and more pow
erful boat built.
After the larger boat is completed,
which will be about the first of July,
a regular passenger run will be es
tablished between Gastineau channel
and the mouth of the Inkling river,
which is many miles upstream and
far into Canadian territory. The pres
ent boat will be used in carrying fish
down the river.
