STILL ON THE WAR PATH.

JaiIer Farraher Can DO Nothing With
the Tough Set I'm the County Jail.
Jailer Farraher still has trouble with his
charges IN the county jail. The men are
not subdued yet by any means. They are
the toughest and hardest set that has been
confined in the King county jail for many
q day, and since nothing can be done with
them, the jailer looks forward to the day of
their release. when they will jump the
town. with even more pleasure than do
the disreputable inmates themselves.
Wilson, Davis and Trimwith, the three
ball and chain prisoners, who are all COM
mitted on charges of stealing, are the ring
leaders of the disconnected gang. These
three men are still kept separate from each
other and the rest of the prisoners by being
confined in the close cells. Cramped quar-
the least however, and the jailer Is seriously
contemplating cutting down the amount of
their rations. and thus bring the thieves to
their senses via their stomachs.
Yesterday they resumed their tactics of
the day previous, by beating on the iron
doors Of their cells with their shackles and
yelling like Comanche warriors. The
doors are becoming badly bent. and al
though they cannot be broken down the
locks on them are nearly ruined. Mr.. Far
raher says that very little more spring on
either of the bars will make it so that the
doors cannot be unlocked. In the event
the matter comes to such pass the jailer
does not propose to let the men out OF the
cells until the day of their release, at which
time the locks will in all probability have
to be picked.
To keep the prisoners from doing any
more scheming at night they will be al
lowed no more light.

CALLS FOR ENGINES.
How Fire Department will
Answer Alarms.
APPoRTloNMENT or THE WORK,


The following running card and ere
alarm signals have just been published for
the use of the IRE department and the pub
lie in general, under direction of Chief
Kellogg. The appended table is minia-
ture Of the original. which is printed on q
large 16x24 inch card and which have been
distributed among the several engine
houses, with instructions to post in q
conspicuous place. The cards are COM
prehensive and are an acquisition to the
department that has long been needed.
The cards are cleverIy arranged and
numbered, and. as can be seen by study
Of the table below. at the ringing OF the
bell everyone in the city is told not only
where the ire is, but what engine and the
crew. and the truck company that will re-
spond to the call. The alarm also makes
known to the firemen the call they are 70
answer.
It is safe to say that no city on the
Coast now has more complete and system
attic fire alarm signals than the Seattle de-
partment. It is far superior to that OF
Portland. and fully equal to that of San
Francisco:

ROBBED IN A SALOON.


A Professional Thiefss Efforts to Rob .
Drunken Man.
just at d daylight yesterday morning OH
Ger w. A. Cover arrested q clever thiei
named Tim Cokeley for knocking down
and robbing John NJ. Carson, in the Es-
mond saloon, corner of Washington and
Commercial streets.
The two men were noticed together
about midnight. and Carsen tried to rid
himself of the thief's forced compan-
ionship, but Cokeley would not be given the
shake" The designing tough followed
the confiding man into the various saloons
and slapping him on the back, would make
Carsen ''set 'em up" out of his own pocket.
When they entered the Esmond saloon,
the barkeepers Immediately grew suspic-
ious. and when Carsen disappeared into q
private box followed by Cokeley, they kept
their eyes open. The men had scarcely
been in the box i've minutes when some one
was heard to fall heavily, and the metallic
ringing OF silver coin, dropping on the
floor, could be plainly heard.
The barkeepers Immediately made q
break for the Dox. and pushing aside the
curtains, saw Cokeley on the PROSTATE form
of the intoxicated man. while purse and
some money lay around on the floor. The
thief made an effort to get away. but he
was held until the officer arrived. who took
the two men to Jail. Cokeley is thought to
be a professional and is charged with rob-
berry. Carsen was simply booked for being
drunk, and held as q witness.
Officer w. A. Cover. who made the ar.
rests, intends arraiguing his man today.

Health Onicer Hinton watching eus-
Pected Stables for Glanders-
Health Officer DR.. H. Hilton has almost
satisfied himself that in one OF the down
town livery stables horse has been
afflicted with glanders. A gentleman called
on that official yesterday and made CONF
plant that At certain stable where are
kept other horses an animal was 80 lar
gone with the dreaded disease that the DOOR
emitted from the unfortunate beast was
positively sickening.
The doctor immediately repaired 70 the
stable mentioned and found number OF
hostiers vigorously sp0nging the nose Of
one animal, but whether the animal was .
sufferer from CHAMBERS the doctor could not
satisfy himself He made inquiries, how
ever, and was told that sick horse nad
Just been taken away from the stables.
The men employed learned in some way
that DR.. Hilton was q city official, ana ne
could get nothing further out OF them.
When asked what became of the animal
which was taken away, one Of the men re-
piled:
I'VE don't know what became OF him.
The owner came and took him away. May
be he will do away with him and maybe
not We don't know anything about 1T
And that was ali the doctor could geto
of the men. They said the horse was sick,
but would not admit that the animal was
afflicted with CHAMBERS.
The doctor. as city official, naturally
feels the responsibility of sitting the matter
to the bottom, and the hostlers' evasive
answers and non-commital attitude has
very naturally rendered the doctor sggra-
waited and uneasy He will not let the mat
ter rest here, however, but has appointed
deputy who has his eyes open and is watch
ing the suspected stables and viii report
the FIRST suspicious actions to his superior.

establishment on Jefferson street, by Dep
uty Sheriff Woolery, was given prelimi-
nary hearing before Justice Rivers yester-
day afternoon. and was bound over TO the
superior court in the sum of $500.
While the clerk was making out the CON-
mitment and Constable Thornton was
looking over his shoulder, the prisoner
took advantage of the constable's relaxa-
ton of vigilance and made sudden dash
for liberty. He ran out the front door,
down Yesler avenue and started into
the alley running through to Jeffer-
son street back of the Jail
like . scared wolf, the clerk, constables
and all the policemen about the justices
courts after him in full cry. In the alley,
unluckily for him, he met Joseph Smith,
the complaining witness. who discovered
him committing the burglary. He jumped
over the railing of the walk to the ground,
ten feet below, and was Immediately fol-
lowed by Joseph Smith, who caught him
and held him until an officer came John
Smith is boy about Is years of age, a pal
of the two boys bound over by Justice
Miller few days since for stealing brass

ROOM FOR A MILL.
a Grain Merchant Speaks Of
FIGURING Here.
ADVANTAGES or THE LOCATION
No Gambling II the Raw Material-
Quality q Grain and shipping
facilities An Favorable.

Mr.. John H. Wendell. who has been .
grain merchant 1t Detroit for the last
twenty-five years, and who is now ct the
Rainier, has been spending two weeks on
the Sound investigating the resources Of
the country, with special view to grain
production. In IN interview with PosT-
IsrELI1GxEcER reporter yesterday he
said:
I'm my Judgment Seattle shows the best
opening for first-class Touring mill, with .
capacity Of 500 to 800 barrels day, of any
point ON the Sound, as wheat can now be
delivered ii mill properly located in this
city BY rail from the best wheat belts in
the state. The feed resulting from such
manufacture would ali be wanted. and .
much greater quantity in Seattle than else
where. This alone is Of great importance
70 . Touring mill
II notice another great advantage .
miller would have on the Sound. That is,
that for the present ct least he would be
free from gambling in the raw material he
requires. which in most OF the grain CEN
tiers throughout the states has been dis
advantage to -four manufacturers In
Seattle he is assured Of purchasing the
raw material on the basis of its value for
milling for the home trade or for export
.sThe quality Of wheat, one year with an
other, is much more uniformly of good
quality than is the case in many portions
Of the middle wheat~growing states. The
citizens Of Seattle should not lose sight Of
the fact that two or three additional eIe-
vators for the storage Of grain would prove
Of great advantage TO this city in making
. market, for where wheat finds its market
trade il sure to follow.
Nothing has surprised me more than
my investigation OF the wonderful capacity
of your bottom lands. and in the near
future these lands viii make the price the
world over for hops. 1t is no detriment
that the bottom lands cannot raise wheat
crop, as the soil is worth much more for
hay and root crops 1t does not look well
for these thriving cities to see cargoes Of
feed landed upon their docks from Cali
fornia, when this article in all its forms
should be manufactured here

pense of $780, and six men in the Fourth ward

pense of S25, and three-inch advertisements in

rELLIGENCER. The hand bills prepared, printed
