ELLIS WILL GO FREE.
His Friends ALI Condone His
Drunken Madness.
NO ONE TO PROSECUTE HIM.
The Men He Threatened to Kill Are
Now Anxious to Get Him
Out Of Jail.

George Ellis, the butcher, who, while
crazed by jealousy, tried to kill his wife and
all MS neighbors near II yde park late Satur-
day night, spent yesterday quietly in the
county JAIL
For cell companion he had a non-com-
municatiye Chinaman, and he found ample
opportunity, during the day. to think over
and repent of his madness.
In spite of his wild threats and desire to
XIII everyone, Ellis friends have not de-
serted him and an effort viii be made to Sc
cure ms release on bail; after which he
wiz, In all probability, so arrange it that
ne VIII never be brought into court for
James Routledge and H. Tobin, the
teamsters rooming in Ellis house, both Of
whom heard the three shots tired and saw
INN scufling with his wife and s.Lankey"
bin smith, have already stated their SYM
pathy for Ellis and are ready to assist him,
In financial way, out of his trouble.
Both Routledge and Tobin had to run
Tor their lives from the house while Ellis,
daring them to ''show their heads stood
ready to pick them off with his Winches-
ter; but they say that George was only
crazy drunk, and they could not imagine
what caused him to act in the manner in
which he did.
They insisted Yesterday that Ellis had
no cause TO be jealous of his wife, and that
when he saw her playing cards with
Lankey" Bill Smith, he was so drunk he
couldn't tell what really was going on;
that he just few into rage and wanted to
MI everyone about the place.
George Morrison, bartender at the White
House saloon, who knew Ellis well, said
ne would 'give 500 to see him out of his
trouble, for he is mighty tine man when
he is not drinking"
Superintendent Smith. of the Okanogan
Live Stock and Beef Company, Ellis en-
pioyer, called on the prisoner at the county
jan during the afternoon and had long
talk with him. Smith stated his readiness
to go on Ellis bond at any time.
When Ellis was asked where his wife
was, he lost his temper and said:
Il don't know and / never want to see
her again. The mother of two such nice
little girls as have to conduct herself in
such way. couldn't have believed it!
only wish had it all to do over again.
L would not have made such fool of N.Y.
self. Instead of getting the rifle and scar
ing everybody to death. would have just
gone into the house, taken my two little
girls and gone quietly away and left them,
but it is too late now"
Ellis claims he never shot at anyone.
that the shots were hred accidentally He
says he only gave ''Lankey" Bill Smith
and his wife I'D good licking" that he
ran to the slaughter house for his rife be-
cause he was afraid the dodgers in the
house would attack him and try to kill
him and he wanted something with which
to defend himself
Nothing was done in regard to the mat
ter yesterday, but the prosecuting attorney
will take the case IN hand today, and
probably Ellis friends will succeed in get
ting him out on bonds.

sEATTLE's INDEBTEDNESS.
n question raised by Judge Dillon is
y interest to Seattle taxpayers, as his
fndsrd, if correct, would be applied to
general indebtedness of Seattle. On
31lustion of $4,000, 900 the constitutional
1.alt Of indebtedness is 81, 1900. OF this
eIattle has already incurred $4,000 in
n.ds. has a street improvement indebt-
saness Of probably $550,0O0, and proposes
e ;ssuc OF 1851 900. Altogether this makes
81 1900, so that Seattle is approaching
M near her limit. Judge Jacobs advised
3 Isue Of 81 1000 600, applying 1851 900 as
1lrendy proposed, and the balance to be
I'D In buying up street improvement
,uip, which the city will probably have
SgsnfualIy to pay. That would leave $780,
% icr the redemption of the disputed
ozip upon which the city has been paying
q II cent. since as far back as 1888 and
NJ
h business-like effort the city could
sv56Sbly collect from property owners the
manning $4ll,0 goo. As it is proposed,
syen after the city has funded the 1851 900,
Hvill be compelled to pay other amounts
y process of law, as the recent success
iii suit of Dexter Horton & Co. proves. It
xil b easier to float 81 1000, 900 now than
b doat $751; 900 now and another Issue of
bends later. when, after expensive litiga-
fon and compound interest, it is COM
plled to redeem the disputed warrants.
PROSPECTIVE INCOME.
Seattle is quite able to pay her indebted
ness and meet her current expenses, but
lus little foresight we can materially re-
~ those expenses. The property valua-
bon for next year will probably be
4A0O0,000. The charter allows a tax levy
4 ioIlows: General municipal purposes,
mills; fire protection, 8 mills; street
Hehts, mills; street and sewer work,
mills: altogether Ii mills. This will yield
$4,000; and with, say $3.50. ZOO for tines,
licenses, etc., revenue of $3.50. 600.

The Watch Chain Not De Rigueur.

1t is no longer de rigueur to wear watch
chain, and the man-about- town who desires
to carry about with him reminder of the
fieeting hours must carry it without any
gold chain attached. The waistcoat of the
favorite cutaway Is no longer to display an
ornamental bunch of charms or a dangling
souvenir of the skill of the ieweler.
Fashion long ago declared that men must
abjure diamonds by night as well as by
day, barring a deep-set solitaire. perhaps,
for the little fnger, but the new decree
against watch chains will fall with severity
on very young men, who like TO have a
little jewelry to toy with in their hours of
statuesque posing. The fact is. however,
that this dictum of modes masculine is
quite as absurd as the feminine edict that
street dresses must sweep the pavement,
and is quite as likely to be disregarded by
sensible people. 4p'opos de modes, the
fashionable shades of green are seen on the
streets now in great profusion and consid-
cradle variety, and the woman who hash I
q green dress of some sort is likely enough
10 be not in it with the passing show.
