The STRANGE STORY oF Dick SEE.-The
story Of the arrest Of Richard See, who
was recently taken from Ellenshurgh to
California, on 4 requisition charging him
with murder, is an interesting one. Sew
enteen years ago Sees father and William
Duncan were playing cards in saloon In
los Angeles. A dispute arose and Dun
can struck See in the face, Dick See, who
was then a young man, was present and
was greatly incensed. He left the saloon,
went home, saddled his fathers Aeetest
horse, took his gun, carefully loaded 1t
with buckshot, and want back to the
saloon. When he arrived there the quar-
rel had been settled and the elder See
and Duncan were in the act Of drinking
together at the bar. Young See deliber-
ately pointed his gun and fred and Dun
can dropped dead. The murderer fed to
Winnemucca where for sixteen years his
identity was lost under the name Of Ben
nett jackson. A year ago he moved to
Cle-Elum and resumed the name Of See
for the purpose OF getting his share Of an
estate left by his grandmother. While in
Cle-Elum he committed robbery and dur
ing his trial at Ellensburgh a stranger
dropped into the court room. This stran'
ger proved TO have been one Of those who
were present in the Los Angeles saloon
ut the time Of the shooting, and be recog-
nized See as the murderer. He notified
the California authorities. extradition
papers were gotten out and when Sees
sentence for robbery expired Detective W.
II. Russell, Of Los Angeles, was promptly
on hand and took the prisoner in charge.
This is only another verifcation Of the
old adage that Murder will out"
SULLIVAN KNOCKED OUT.-The city had
u legal tussel last Saturday with Dan
Sullivan. Sullivan Is not the noted pug
Hist but he claims some skill in that line
and had inst been released from jail whore
he had been incarcerated for pIayfully
seeing how far be could knock China
man. The last charge was for disturb
ance, and, in addition to being tapped
over the head with Rpoliceman's billy"
he was fired SOS and costs. The prosecu-
ton was conducted by Reavis and Milroy
and the defence by Chancellor Boyle.
The court room was crowded and the de-
tense had an opportunity to air itself in
great style. 1t went over the history Of
the late municipal election and showed
how the guardians Of the peace, embold-
ened by their success at the polls were en-.
deavoring 10 trample on the liberties Of
good men like Sullivan; and how the
principal attorney for the prosecution
embittered by his recent defeat as dele
gate to the constitutional convention was
like an Ishmalite with hand raised against
sullivan. Boyle's fights Of elOquence
were loudly applauded but failed to save
his client. An appeal has been taken to
the district court and the defendant is
out on bail.
WATER FROM THE NATcHEEE.-A local
company is being organized for the pur-
pose Of taking water from the NatcheeE
river and irrigating the bench land south
to Wide Hollow. Upwards Of 1900 has
already been subscribed to the stock, and
the farmers as yet have not been ap-
preached. This ditch would be Of i'm
mense benefit to the country, and, in ad-
dition to retaining thousands Of acres Of
productive land, would do away with the
litigation which has for some time past
seemed imminent. Every proPertY'holder
on the bench, in Wide Hollow, and along
the Ahtanum can afford to subscribe lib
orally to the enterprise.
JUSTICE CoURT.-George W. Thayer
and Mr.. Lampson Of Goldendale were
arrested last week on charge Of throwing
rocks from the bluffs Of Union gap down
upon the public highway. Thayer and
Lampson are sheepmen and in driving
their hocks along the bluff rocks would
be started down the hill and land in the
road. This Is counted q misdemeanor
unless the rocks are Immediately removed.
Lampson claims he cleared the road, after
his band had passed, and will have 4
hearing tomorrow. Thayer was fined so
and costs. A warrant Is out for \ third
party on the same charge.

ing the Indians fish trap on the reserva-
ton below the gap. They made another

some. The latter disclaimed having any
and the whites, after threatening, finally
pulled their revolvers and commenced
shooting. It Is claimed fifteen shots were
fired, one Of which took effect in the
feshy part Of an Indians arm. AL Of
the shooting was done by the whites.
