constable Jack Hubbard OF this city To-
sated him in the mountains southwest OF
the Grand Coulee, 130 miles from here,
and induced Fra'ik Aiken and Sheriff
Robinson of Douglass county to assist
IA the capture.. The three stealthily ap-
lptoadhsddthe Paine cabin by way Of
canoni and caught the old man without
diflieulty. J p
Sheriff Robinson returned home, and
the others started for Spokane Falls
with their prisoner. About thirty-Gve
miles from the cabin and near the
Grand Coulee they observed horseIkan
following them at full gallop. Paine was
asked If he knew the man, and replied
that he could not make out at that dis
tcnce. The men stopped and allowed
the horsemRn to come nearer. The
prisoner was again asked II he knew
him. 4 7.f
Yes, he replied, "that is my boy"
A, the distance OF 125 yards the pur-
sung horseman dlsmounted and opened
Dire with u Winches ter rifle. The pris-
unrr was the one hit first. He fell partly
ont OF the wagon. Hubbard and Aiken
,urned the team across tho trail for o
Darricade and returned the fire, Fifteen
on twenty shots were fred by each side.
One Of the horses was hit, and a bullet
struck Hubbard in the leg. lie said
nothing, but kept on shooting until an
other bullet struck him in the face. Then
he fell, .-- ....rf
Supposing Hubbard to be dead, Aiken
sprang into the wagon, pushed the dead
body of old man Paine out, and dasheu
away. In few minutes the wounded
horse fell dead. Aiken cut the harness
from the other and started on horseback.
he horse soon gave out, and Aiken
proceeded on foot to u ranch where he
tuid his story.
Paine's body was found where Aiken
had left it, but Hubbards was some dis
Jance away, and completely riddled with
bullets 1t appeared that he had re-
rained his feet and tried to escape, and
chat young Paine had dashed upon him
and finished his bloody work.
Since his surrender it has been learned
that young Paine had previously taken
legal advice, and will endeayor TO prove
his Innocence, and that another man fis

Thehavy department is something like
8 man having acoat with eightspockets
In 1t. The department consists of eight
bureaus, each one having separate APP
propriations made by congress for the
purchase Of everything 1T requires.
THERE'S one thing that every bureau has
an appropriation for, and. that is the
item of ice, The contract Is let every
year, and each office in the navy yard at
Mare Island is allowed certain quantity.
,0fooourse, tits all paid for out OF differ
ent appropriations. % Last year the con-
tract was let to party in Vallejo, and
the Vallejo 5(Cal.) "Chronicle" explains
the modus operandi of payment.
,iGThe contractor is paid for the ice on
: the 30tha of December and the 30th Of
June Of every fiscal year. AS there are
oefght bureaus it requires eight sets Of
public bills, each set consisting Of FIVE
vouchers. These vouchers, must be
signed by the senior members of the
board of inspection that the ice was of
good quality. etc. Then they go to the
general storekeeper for his certificate Q
that he received the Ice and that it was
according to contract. Then they goto
the dommandant for his approval; then
go to Washington for the approval OF the
then sends them TO the navy pay office
at San francisco, the contractor In a
few days getting his money.
Our readers will see that paying for
the ice for the first half of the fiscal
year it required forty vouchers and 200
signatures; and this Is not all nor half.
When the ice is received it must be in
voiced to the heads of the eight different
departments, and these vouchers are in
triplicate and require three signatures
each, Thus it will be seen that there
must be tWenty-four vouchers and sew
enty-two signatures added to the number
mentioned. This is the routine gone
through with on the 30th of every De
cember, and the same thing is gone
through again on the 30th of June but
there is more to come. AS every con-
tract has a proviso that twenty per cent.
shall be deducted from every payment
until the contract is completed, reserva-
tion bills NEST be made out, which re-
quires forty vouchers and 200 signatures
to be added to those already mentioned !;
so, taking it all in all, the payment for
tho one item of ice for the Mare island
navy yard requires in the aggregate Ito
vouchers and TAI signatures.
