SO.— The battleship Ore gon is now on the Government diydock at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, where she was taken last Friday to undergo repairs to her keel, which was severely strained when she struck on the rocks some months ago. Later she will be given a general overhauling and painting. More than ordinary care was necessary on ac count of the strained keel and foe many days prior to the docking extraordinary preparations were made for the reception of the big war vessel. In order that she might rest gently on the blocks, instead of pumping all the water from the dock, as is usually the case,' only about six feet was taken out. Shores were then placed in position and two divers entered the water to adjust wedges and blocks carefully about . the keel, before any great part of the- weight of the battleship was allowed to rest. The remainder of the water has since been pumped from the dock and the damaged part of the hull exposed.

Sad Career of a Pretty San Francisco Miss Comes to an End in Seattle. DEATH CLOSES TBAGEDY OF A YOUNG GIRO'S LIFE There is" a reward of $500 offered by the State for the arrest and conviction of the murderer. The murder of Albert Anderson was most atrocious. He had grown suspicious of impending danger, and before leaving Winters at 10:30 o'clock on that "Sunday night had asked persons to accompany him home, but they did not share Jits fears and refused to go with him. He was way laid and his head was beaten to a JTJlp with some blunt instrument. His Jiody was then thrown over an embankment and dragged to a place of hiding in the Putah Creek bottom. It was found the next day by a boy who was -herding cat tle. The pockets had been turned inside out to indicate robbery as the motive for the deed. Anderson was known to carry but little money upon his person. It was not known then that he had any enemies, but recent events have brought out some peculiar facts. One of the offi cials says that there Is at least one woman concerned in the case, and that should Young be brought to trial startling evi dence will be elicited. The officers feel certain they have the right man under suspicion this time. . ' .. J. . _ No direct evidence was found against the man until about a week aso, when Colonel Taylor went to a trash receptacle near the cabin that had been occupied by Young to get some old rags. In this he found the right sleeve of a shirt, cov ered with blood, and identified it as hav ing belonged to Young. The laundry num ber on the garment was positively identi fied by a Sacramento firm as the mark it had placed upon clothing sent to its laundry by Young. As Anderson was car ried nearly 'one hundred yards after his head had been crushed in the murderer's clothes must have had blood stains upon them. ...... Young was a roommate of 'Anderson on the farm of Colonel Samuel Taylor, near Winters, for some time prior to the mur der and the two men had frequent quar rels. After the murder of Anderson Young became restless, suspicious and easily frightened. At one time he asked permission to move his bed from the cabin in which he had been sleeping to the house, giving as a reason that he was afraid some one would kill him. Later he sent to Healdsburg for his rela tives and had them go to Winters to re side. They did not stay long and when they left he went with them and remained in Healdsburg until a few weeks ago, leaving about the time the suspicion of the officials was directed toward him. It is said that he was summoned to appear at the Coroner's Inquest in Winters, but failed to do so. SUISUN.
