Yakima Repubiic


Elisha Mcdaniel died of paralysis. at his
residence in Cowichee basin, on the 18th
nit. The deceased was born in Kentucky
in 1928, from which state he went TO Illi-
nois, thence to Missouri, and in 1874 he
crossed the plains with his mother and
family, finally hating on the Rickreal
river. in the Willamette valley, Oregon.
within few miles of where Independence
is now located. Here he took up dona-
ton land claim. Uncle Lis. as he was fa-
miliarly called, was a very industrious
man and very successful accumulation. he
at one time having been the owner of thir-
teen of the finest ranches in the Willamette
valley. In 1850 he came up to the Yakima

Snipes, went back to Oregon, where he re-
manned until 1885. when he brought his
family ID Cowichee basin and again
engaged in the stock business. He has
been in feeble health for q long time. but
il was not expected that his taking off
would be so sudden. He came into town
on horseback, u distance of twenty miles,
about ten days ago and returned in the
same manner. Great difficulty was exper-
fenced in getting his corpse out from his
his home for burial, as the waters OF the
south fork of the Cowichee were so greatly
swollen by the recent thaw as to make il an
impossibiiity 10 ford it, hence the coffin had
to be carried great distance along the
mountain side before the wagons could be
reached. He was buried In Tahoma Gene
terry on the evenin OF the 18th uit.

Crimes Of Murderer Allen Capt
ured ct LINDEN.
He WAS 4 DEEP-DyED VILLAIN.


Samuel Alien, the Wisconsin murderer
captured at Lynden. Whatcom county. last
week by Sheriff Paine, OF Clark county.
Wis, and kept in the county jail of King
county for several days. appears 10 be even
adeeper-dyed villain than his captor made
him out TO be while here A letter from
Neillsviile. Wis, tells the following story
concerning The murderer:
Aliens crime was committed in the
town of Loyal Clark county, Wis, on the
10th of May. 1855 Alien, who was . WELL
to-do farmer with much esteemed wife
and family. became enamoured of Mrs.
Wright. neighboring farmers wife. Mrs.
Wright's husband died very suddenly, and
post-morfem examination disclosed the
fact that he had been poisoned. Mrs.
Wright then made confession that Allen
had fed arsenic to Wright in small doses
until the latter died. She said that Allen
had promised to marry her as soon IS he
could make way with his wife and Mrs.
Wright could kin her husband. Mrs.
Allen had been sick for some time and after
Aliens arrest the medicine she was taking
was found to contain poison. supposed 10
have been placed therein by Alien. Aliens
trial and conviction were followed by q
motion for new trial. 1t was oyerruled
and Allen was in jail awaiting sentence
when he escaped. On the morning Of May
Is. 1887. when Sheriff Dryer went to the
jail he discovered that Allen had escaped.
Two FIRE escape doors leading from the
prisoners cell to the street had been mys-
teriousiy unlocked during the night. and
Alien, finding his way clear. walked out.
1t afterward developed that Mrs. Wright
stole the key to the doors. slid it down .
waterspout from her room on the second
foor to where Allen could reach it, and
thus enabled him TO reach the woods. He
struck across the country, finally coming
to Washington. Allen made q desperate
effort to throw the officers off his track by
causing letter to be mailed at Sydney,
Australia, saying that one Dan Allen, q
NeiiIsville, Wis, u. s. A.. murderer, had
died at little town in the interior, after
confessing his crime. The story was
traced down by state department officials
and shown to be false. Mrs. Wright, who
confessed that she consplred with Allen to
murder her husband. is living in Michigan.
The case against her was dropped.

Forged Check.
J. r. McCoombs. ex-seerelarv Of TIE re-
lief committee, wae Monday morning
bound over 10 the superior court IN the sum
OF 500. after = preliminary hearing before
Justice Miller. on charge Of uttering
false check
McCoombs was arrested on this charge
immediately after his trial for emhexzie-
ment last Thursday on complaint Of
Ge0rge H. Hebron . member OF the COM
mittee. The complaint vas based upon .
check issued By McCoomhs upon the relief
fund to Mrs. Aaronev. Who lives on Wash
ineton and Fourteenth streets, for so.
The state Was represented by Assistant
Attorney May and the defense By r B.
Aibertson. The frst witness called vas
Mrs Aaroney. She testified that she had
never signed the cheek which was pro-
duced- che stated fnrther that she had
received aid from the committee hut never
appiied for II. she said that there were
NOT over $l2 worth Of goods sent 20 her
home
George H. Hebron was the next Wit
ness called. The COMMITTEES. he stated, n
one time issued checks payable to
the grocerymen, leaving AcCoonbs
70 pay for the goods "a be
saw 1T. This method was changed
By resolution ordering that the checks
be drawn payable to the benehciaries. He
stated 10 the court that Mr. Mccoorabs
had brought the check in question around
for him to sign. He testified that . written
report in reference 10 this check had been
submilted ~ meeting Of the COMMITTEES
by Detective Rogers. who stated that Mrs.
Maroney bad told him that she never
signed the check. and that McCoombs had
tod him that be took the check up TO Mrs.
AaYouey and secured her signssu-e 10 it.
Jacob Farth, OF the Puget Sound Ma
tional Bank. testified that the check had
been presented ~ his bank and paid. Mc-
Coomhs had been in the habit Of cashing
checks there. He said that In cases where
persons could net find anyone to identify
them, checks were sometimes paid with
out identification after close questioning.
Detective Rogers testified rs To how he
had worked the case up. Mrs. Maroney
had positively denied indorsing the check.
The defendant was not placed upon the
stand, and no witnesses were called in his
behalf
Attorney Atbertson moved that the de-
fendant be discharged. rs no evidence had
been introduced to prove that the indsrse-
nent was forged, or that AcCoombs had
forged Ii.
The court ruled that Mrs. Maroney's
evidence had not been impeached. and
decided TO hold McCoombs. No bond has
as yet been given ny McCoombs, but he
put up $50 cash. and Is at liberty.
T. W. Wald. James Franklin and ciar-
ence Bagley, the committee appointed to
examine the books OF the relief committee
have begun their task. Ii will probably
take them until tomorrow to arrive at any
results. This auditing committee has re-
tanned w. ID. Fenfon as It's attorney.

Coiville + Puget sound Railroad.
Coiviile Miner


A party of surveyors came here early
this week to survey railroad route from
Colville, to be known as the Colville &
Puget Sound railway. The party has a
full outfit for making the complete survey,
and has some of the Sound cities
for their objective point 1t Is reported
that the movement is under the direct SUI
pervision of the Great Northern. but was
adopting the name of Coiville Il Puget
Sound railway as q cover. A route from
Coivijle westward was drawn and submit
ted to the Great Northern company sew
eral days ago. and the supposition is that
the surveyors being sent out means that the
route was favorable. Certain it is that the
course that the surveying party will take
is the same as that outlined and given to
the officials of the Great Northern. A
route can easily be obtained through the
country west of Colviile. crossing the
Columbia river at Rickey's landing. and
thence onward would be comparatively
easy sailing

pearing and Crops VIII Be Good.
Ellensburr Iocaiixer.
Mr.. A. Guihert. Of the Big Bend. gave
Us pleasant call few days ago. He in
formed Us that the prospect for full crop
in that country is very promising. The
presence of the squirrels is about the only
drawback they have. They are very thick
in places. but there is general poisoning
Of them by the ranchers. and thousands Of
them have been cleared out by that means
In sparsely settled neighborhoods their
ravages are worse felt, and there are fewer
persons TO carry on the war against them.
IL is found that the destruction Of stock
in Douglas and Lincoln counties, by the
late severe winter Is not nearly so great IS
was first supposed. Persons who have
been riding the range are agreed that not
over 80 or Mt most 80 per cent have per-
isbed.
