KNApP-At Knappa, Oregon June I'd, 1888,
Mrs. Sarah M. Knapp, in the eighty -sIxth
year of her age.
From letter received this week
from Mr.. A. K, Knapp an old sub
scriber to the REPORTER, we learn
this sad bit of news. The deceased
was his beloved mother and will be
remembered by some of the good
people of this city and Centralia, as
having spent one winter with her son
in this city during the years 1866,
the father having died five years ago
Rev. j. W. Harris of Albany, Oregon,
formerly of this city, was called to
oficiate at the funeral. He was 40
miles away but responded to the call.
A venerable, and dear old lady has
passed away. She was loved by many.
DEATH OF JAMES L. HOUSTON
On Wednesday afternoon last at half
past l o'clock the futtering spark
which had for many days been growing
fainter. went out. and the ife-work
of James 7. Houston was at an end.
The deceased, who was the eldest son
of Frank r. and Mary z. Houston,
was born in Pike County, Mo,
August 9th, 1914 and would therefore
have been 80 years old next August.
He had lived here since 40, when his
parents removed to this city, and was
well known to nearly everyone,
especially the old residents. He Lad
grown up here from childhood and
was well liked by all who enjoyed his
acquaintance. When young man
he learned the blaek-smithing trade in
J.. IMoe's shop in this city and after
wards the machinist's trade. He
worked at his trade for several years
in Grand Rapids, where he met Miss
Lydia Lyons, of Centralia, who after
wards became his wife, and who
together with six children, the oldest,
II years old, now mourn the loss of a
kind husband and afectionate father.
He was for several years City Clerk,
until little over a year ago, when he
sought outdoor labor in hopes to
prolong his days, having already con-
tracted very severe cough which
threatened, and finally developed into
consumption. Last winter, he was
engaged in scaling logs and came
home sick on the 10th of April. His
cough grew worse and he gradually
wasted away, until he was only mere
shadow of his former self. The
funeral took place Friday afternoon,
Rev. w. Henry Watts officiating.
The deceased was for several years
Secretary OF Evergreen Lodge, and he
was buried with Masonic Honors,

Saturday Mr.. George Hi!es Of
Dexterville, went to Black River Falls
for the purpose of going Ketchum S
bail in any sum necessary. The
charges against Ketchum are of such

he should be given at least chance to
be heard in his own defense, and if
found guilty, then dealt with accord
ing to law.

Private advices inform us that I. D.
McCutcheon, who now disgraces the posi-
ton OF Secretary Of tue Territory, will re-
sign before very long. This is not in any
way surprising. By his rcprehensible
course in obtaining fraudulent divorce
and Immediately marrying a woman
whose former associations with him had
given rise to social scandal, he has
brought down upon himself the condem-
nation of all pure minded citizens, who
have not hesitated to express their opinions
either privately Or in public. Added to this
he has foolishly endeavored to intimidate
the public press by a violent attack upon
one of its leading presentatives, who had
merely exercised his undoubted right to
criticise McCutcheon's course and present
the facts in regard thereto. The sooner
he resigns the better for himself and
Montana So long as he remains in his
present honorable position he will be
mark for merited criticism, and at the
same time bring opprobrium upon Mon
tana. There can be no doubt but what
is deserving of all that has
been said of him, and this being so he is
the wrong man for his present position
The second executive office in Montana
must not be filled by man who has out

1ot the statutory, code, upon the very
scene of his official duties. Montana

The Cheyenne Leader of late date

"a map has been received at the land
office showing the surveyed line of the
Wyoming and Montana railroad. The
line begins at the Union Pacific railroad,
at Fort Steele, and runs parallel to the
North Platte river, as far north as the
Seminole oil springs, near Searight's
ranch, a distance, according to the sur
sey, OF exactly 100 miles. AS no names
appear on the map there are many con-
lectures as to the company interested in
the line. Some say that it is new road
that is to take in the oil and soda region

Sam Wilde and William Bennett Under
Arrest in Billings for Theft.
The Billings Herald of the 18th con-
tains recital ef the evidence rendered In
the examination Of Sam Wilde and Will
lam Bennett, charged with feloniously
stealing, taking and carrying away three
Northern Pacific checks of 800, the
property of one Thomas B. Warren. The
defendants are we'll known to many Liv-
ingston people and the story of the case
may be interesting. On the 18th inst
Warren left his checks with Mckee, the
proprietor of the Bank Exchange. the
leading saloon in Billings to be placed in
the safe. This was done, and later Mckee
was ordered by Wilde not to give Warren
the checks till the latter had signed a
receipt for them. Wilde, it seems, had
acted as Warren's attorney. and had a bal
ance due him on fees. After little time
wide, warren ana Bennett came In and
Warren demanded his checks and Mckee
refused to give them up without receipt.
Wilde then started to write the receipt,
claiming that he was Warren's attorney,
but the latter protested and refused to
sign the receipt. Meanwhile the checks
had been placed on the desk and Wilde
had his hands on them, and as Warren re-
fused to sign the receipt or take the
checks ON any such receipt, Wilde showed
them to Bennett, who took them and left
the saloon, and in short time had cashed
two of them with different merchants.
Decision was reserved in the case by
Judge Maginnis before whom it was tried.
