man of Mullan, after the query from the
Tribune. "Why, Mrs. Renkert think
to be the best, but then there are great
many good dancers and walters in
Mullan. Miss Phelps, Miss Sarah Ran

Harris, Mrs. Potts, and in fact nearly
every lady attendant at our balls can.be

was keeping furniture establishment,
but of late trade had been bad and
Hofieditz was in poor health and
respondent. On several occasions
lately he has been heard to say that he
believed he would make away with
himself Last evening he and his
father were in the shop together on First
street. They were seen by number of
customers and acted as usual, no trouble
appearingto to exist between them. The
store was closed at the usual hour but
the men did not go home.
The wife of young Hotfeditl was much
disturbed at their absence and did not
60 to bed, but waited for them all night
This morning she went to the shop, but
found the front and back doors both se-
curely locked. An entrance was forced
through rear window and both men
were found lying on the floor with bullet
holes through their heads.
The old gentleman was dead but the
son still breathed He is still alive but
unconscious, and his death Is only q
matter of time.
The only tcnable theory Is that Of
temporary. insanity as the father and
son have always been on good terms.

DISCOVERED IN TIME,
An Attempt to Escape at the waila
Walla PenitSntiarY FruAtrated.

WALLA WALIA, Nov. 25.-At the PEN
itentiary, while the prisoners were being
exercised Sunday, it was discovered that
two prisoners had made preparations to
escape, having managed to saw Off the
bolts which fastened the bars locking
their cell door. The door of the cell was
locked in two ways; a paddock on the
door and lever so arranged that it locks
all the doors at once. 1t was with the
latter method they had worked, the
bolts having been rendered useless, so
that when the lever attachment was
worked, and apparently all the doors
we're locked, all that was necessary was
to shove back, with the fingers the angle
irons fitting over the cell door. The
discovery was most opportune. II was
supposed that the work had been pro-
crossing some time, and that number of
prisoners knew of the fact, as the night
watchman states that the prisoners
would make a noise, tramping on the
floor and rattling on the doors, so that
the saw used would not be heard.
The prisoners confined in the cells
were two criminals from Seattle, one
having thirty-six: years to serve, the
other seventeen.
