The mystery surrounding the motive OF
the suicide of r. II. Passmore, cashier OF
the Security bank, of Tacoma, has been
cleared up. To a gentleman with whom
he passed q portion Of the evening pre-
vious to his death, he spoke OF being I'm
Strengthened circumstances, and ex-
pressed the hope fervently that Mr..
Boyle, who had rented his home since
Mrs. PASSWORDS absence, would continue
to remain there, as he was very much in
need Of the income derived therefrom.
He had been for some time severely
troubled over his financial affairs, seeing
no chance to recover he losses on his in
Investments. Since those who knew him
best. and TO whom he naturally looked
for pecuniary assistance had refused him,
he evidently resolved that il was easier to
face his God than his fellowmen. Pass

of insanity are said to be i'm the family,

The steal of horses by the desperadoes,
who IL is thought nave one toward the
British line, was even more ~stYpendous
than at first stated. Every day since the
raid additional knowledge has come to
the detectives in Spokane OF horses stolen.
and il is thought by some that the plum
der all told will add up To nearly 1000
horses. The posse of armed cattlemen
which left Spokane Thursday night are
on the trail Of the outlaws. In nearly
every town in eastern Washington, i'm
western and northern Idaho, and in north
wester Montana there are spies stationed
ready to give the alarm IL the outlaws and
the stolen horses are seen. Beside that
there are spies on horseback riding into
the appropriated portions of the country
over which the fugitive h~orse-pirates
might likely go. Notwithstanding a posse
has been out several days securing the
country in search of horse thieves n valu-
able team belonging to Windsor Bros.
was run of from Spokane early Monday
morning. The horses were stolen be-
tween 3 and 4 o'clock and were seen by
several parties as they were being driven
through the streets. The thieves were
headed for the Canada line. The sheriff
and posse are in hot pursuit.
J. w. Branan, an employe on the Front
Street Cable Company, of Seattle, met
with a terrible death this morning at the
power-house. Branan was employed as
night Waterman and car repairer, a por-
ton of his duties being to oil the machin-
cry. Saturday morning he had stepped to
the from Of the house and oiled the great
sheave wheel, around which the cable
passes, and being in a hurry neglected to
Mt nee replace the planks covering the
wheel. Returning to the house he as
sisted to run out the dummy. After run
ming il out he noticed the absence of the
oil can carried ON the dummy and stepped
on the car As he stepped back he failed
to notice the open place at the sheav and
stepped In. The arms of the whee at
once seized his legs, and SO rapid was
their motion that before the unfortunate
man could utter a sound he had beer
drawn between the wheel and the heavy
timbers forming the frame supporting IL,
and his life was crushed out before his
Mortified companions could stir from the
spot. Their shouts attracted the atten-
ton Of Superintendent Dawson. He at
once shut down the machinery and the
planks remaining were at nee pried up,
and the body OF BranaH was found In a
corner rolled up like n ball with the legs
broken, skull crushed and the body
mashed to q pulp. Death had been al
| most instantaneous. Branan was % years
| of age and married. He came to Seattle
from Dallas. Tex. about N year aUo. and
