No Stone Was Left Unturned.

No murderer in the country ever had
such a fight made for him as has Kemm-
Ter. His case has gone through all the in
termediate steps up to the court of ap-
peals twice. Then at the last moment he
was dramatically rescued from death by
'the people of the United States" in the
shape of the habeas corpus of the United
States supreme court. Then even the leg
islature of the state was asked to inter-
vene in the shape of an act abolish ing
capital punishment; but everything
failed.

The New Hotel at Chehalis.

CHKHALIs, Sept u.-For some weeks
past men have been at work getting out
the foundations for the new hotel on Mar
ket street, and the Chehalis Land & Tim
Der Company have now received the plans
and specifications, which show building
complete in every respect. The basement
will contain laundry, barber shop. bill
lard room and barroom which will be re-
plete with all modern conveniences. On
the first floor will be large kitchen, an
elegant dining hall. three large sample
rooms and the Office. A spacious entrance
hall will open on Market street. and from
it the grand staircase will lead to the
upper stories. The second story will have
the ladies' parlor, which commands
excellent views from two sides, and has
some of the windows opening to the floor
and giving access to very pleasant YER
anda. There are fourteen bedrooms on
this floor, some of them very large. The
third story will have several suites of
rooms. besides eleven separate dormitories.
The west elevation shows over fifty win
dows, and there are twenty-six fronting on
Cascade avenue. with about the same
number on the rear side. A perspective
drawing of the hotel is now hanging in the
First National bank and shows hand
some four-story building, with q tower at
the corner. The first story will be of brick.
A magnificent view of the snow-ciad peak
of Mount st. Helens can be obtained from
either of the verandas of the hotel, which
is to be called most appropriately the
Hotel st. HeIens. When completed and
furnished this will probably be the finest
building between Tacoma and Portland.
The cost is estimated to be not less than
about $50 O00.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 1s.-The
latest story of a Mexican outrage on the
border comes by way of Fort Hancock :,
and Il letter detailing il reads thus:
quite a little excitement was coca
stoned here few days ago by the cross
ing of the Mexican river guard into this
reservation and burning large quantity
of wood intended for the delivery to post
Qunrtermaster az this post, and firing
several Shots at one Jose Giraeo. an en-
ploye of Mr.. Wilson, the wood coutrac-
tor. 1t seems that Jose Girago was
hauling the wood from the other side of
the river in violation of orders that were
gwen the river guard by the Mexican
authorities at Paso del Norie to prohibi,
all such crossing. While piling the
wood on the United States mill
tary reservation, GFago was sud-
denly surprised by the appearance
of the river guard. who demanded tina.
he accompany them as their prisoner.
This GiaCO refused 10 do, at the same
time starting 10 run toward the post, Il
distance of about q mile, when the Mex
leans opened fire on him, but luckily he
escaped unhurt. The MeXicans then set
fire to the wood and quietly crossed to
the other side of the river. AS soon as
the commanding officer, Maj. Logan,
was notified he at once took a detail of
armed men and started for the scene.
He found the invaders gone, but man
aged to save about one-half of the wood
about thirty cords in all. II is not known
why the orders we're given by the Mexi-
can authorities to prohibit the crossing
of cord wood, as there is no duty on that
article, but is though; has some connec-
ton with the late tariff law increasing
duties on other Mexican products. There
is considerable excitement among the
Americans at such hgb-handed proce-
dure, but no further trouble Is appre-
hended.'
