A WATERY CRAVE.
Homer Caron Disappears in the
NesquaIly Ford.
a FOOI-HardY Attempt to Cross the
Stream Results In Death--Spec-

tatOrs Protest, But Are Helpless.
The Body Not Recovered.
Homer Carron, better known as
"Frenchy," was drowned in the upper ford
of the Nesqually on Saturday while trying
to cross the stream near Roy. His body has
not yet been recovered.
Carron. who has been in Olympia about
two years, has lived with silas Wentz, on
the top of lAyres bill. He Is a teamster
and owned several head of horses. Re
Gently he has been hauling shingle bolts at
Roy, where he had two or three men in
camp. He hired a horse and wagon from
an Indian, and on Saturday started for
Olympia to engage somebody to cook.
When be came to the ford he was cautioned
not to cross, but having done so the pre-
vious day, he failed to heed the warning of
those standing on the shore. The recent
warm weather, however, had melted the
snow on the mountain to such an extent
that the water is rushing down the sides,
and the stream is rapidly swelling and ris-
ing. The men on the shore cautioned him
not to attempt to cross, but he started his
horse in until it lost its footing and then
turned to the shore, Carron again de-
clined to yield to the protests of the by
ISLANDERS, and started to cross, this time
applying the whip. When out but a short
distance the water became so deep that the
ANNALS feet raised from the bottom, and
driver, horse and buggy went floating down
stream. The buggy tipped over and
Carron jumped out and managed to reach
a sand spit a short distance down stream.
On the edge of this he stood, waist deep
in water. When the horse and buggy came
along, he grabbed the bride, turned the
horse to the spit and tried to unharness it,
but a sudden turn in the current caught
the buggy and again carried the rig down
stream. Carron jumped on the horses
back, thinking the animal would swim
ashore. The current was so swift, how
ever, that the horse and driver were power
less.
They went down stream until they struck
drift. The horse, thoroughly frightened
commenced to kick. CarrOn clung to him
but the animal finally went down. When
it came up again, Carron was still clinging
! to the animal. The aWe-stricken
spectators from the shore were powerless
and were hoTror-stricken when they saw
the dying and struggling animal lick Car
ron. Again the two went down and came
to the surface, this time the horses feet up
ward, and CarrOn still clinging with
deathlike grip. For the third time the two
disappeared went under the drift, and
that was the last seen Of the unfortunate
man.
The buggy was completely shattered
Ropes were brought into use, and the
horse was pulled out in the hope of find
ing Carron still clinging to him, but he
was not The boys in the neighborhood
made up purse of $40 for anybody who
would find the body. OarrOn was unmar-
rled and was about 26 years of age.

olARKsON TALKS.
Intimates That Blaine Will he
Nominated by AccIamatIOn.

NOmAMaGeu Dy AccialmaLIOms
NEW YORK, May 23.-'I believe that the
nomination will be made by acclamation
and without ballot" So said General
Clarkson, the chairman Of the republican
national committee today, speaking of the
coming Minneapolis convention, and his
words acquire added significance from the
fact that he had come straight from the
conference at the home of General Russell
A. Alger in Detroit. General Clarkson
laughed at all the illusions to Detroit, and
showed disposition to avoid talking about
the Alger conference. "Ah," said he,
laughingly, "that was coincidence"
''By chance, the usual waY2" he was
asked.
General ClarksOn laughed again.
"Is the contest at Minneapolis likely to
be protracted one2" Clarkson was asked.
81 believe that the nomination will be
made by acclamation," !" he answered.
THAT means it will be made without
taking ballot2''
"Of course / believe that will be done"
1T looks as if there is only one man in
America. who could be nominated in that
way"
"There are very few" said General
ClarksOn, warily. 'Indeed, there are very
few people in any city who stand in such
relation TO the public as to be such a spon-
taneous favorite."
"Do you not think everything is very
uncertain nOW2"
"Well, this is not a cut-and-dried con-
ventiOn by any means. You see, there
never was a convention containing so
many uninstructed delegates. Now, as to
myself, l am delegate from Iowa, but /
am not instructed, and 1 will not say what
l shall do till our delegation gets together
and talks it over. / shall be guided en-
tirely by what the party in my state wants."
"How will the nomination be brought
about 2'
''To my mind the candidates will be
named by the states which are doubtful,
and which we most care to win. The
situation is critical and no mistake must
be made, because the margin is very small.
The house is democratic already, and we
must have man who can carry the doubt
full states The states as a general thing
have not instructed their delegates. For
that matter, very large humber of the
delegates from the south are uninstructed.
| think that what states like New York,
Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Isl
and, Iowa. Indiana and Wisconsin say
will have weight in deciding he question.
They are states which may be considered
close and in which the battle must be
fought"

INDIANS ROBBED.
Interesting Testimony to BE Laid
before Congress-.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Colonel J. NJ.
Lee, who was sent to the Indian territory
by General Miles to investigate the com
plants made by the Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe Indians that they had been robbed by
attorneys, has reached army headquarters.
Colonel Lee brought back large volumes of
shorthand testimony given by the Indians,
and it is said the evidence is sufficient to
demonstrate that not only were the red
men robbed by the lawyeas, but that they
have been victims of sharpers in many
other transactions, dating lack many years.
Several officials pf the. interior depart
ment are said to be involved. Bribery of
Interpreters and robbery of the Indians in
wholesale way of supplies of food and
clothing have been discovered. The facts
gathered by Colonel Lee will probably be
laid before congress, to which the Indians
have made a protest in the matter of the
payment of attorneys fees.

BEST ARMOR PLATE.
An American Production Stands
the StyereSt Test.
The Plates to BE Used on the Bat
tie ships Indiana and massa-
chusetts-They Are Pronounced
TO he of the Highest Quality.


to BE of the Highest Quality.
WASHINGTON, May %. Il The thickest
armor ever manufactured in this country
was successfully tested at Indian Head
proving grounds Saturday-one of the
14-inoh nickel steel diagonal plates for the
Indiana, the first Of the battle ship armor
plates completed by the Bethlehem Iron
works. Twenty diagonal plates for the
battle ships Indiana and Massachusetts,,
aggregating 800 tons, representing half
million dollars value, will at once be ac-
cepted as a result of the test. The results
show conclusively the ability of the Ameri-
can armor makers to supply armor plate of
the highest quality. The conditions were
more severe than tests imposed by foreign
countries. Under the terms of the con-
tract the projectile might go nearly through
the plate and backing and be accepted if
no serious cracks developed None of the
three shots fired succeeded in getting far
enough into the plate to show the break
ing. Three shots were fired near the
middle region of the plate, the three points
impact forming equilateral triangles. All
three shots rebounded, one of them back
to the muzzle of the gun, a distance of 1876
feet The deepest penetration was four
teen inches.
A ten-inch gun was used in the test.
Two of the projectiles were Firth imported,
the third being made by the same process
in this country. The latter was thrown
out entirely uninJured, while two of the
imported broke in two, showing a splendid
record for the American plate. The
proJectiles weighed 500 pounds, the powder
of 140 pounds giving striking velocity Of
1410 feet per second.

STATE POLITICAL POINTERS.

Hon. T. V. Eddy, of Olympia, is mem

is one of the most accomplished orators in

They do say that James Hamilton Lewis
will have a walk over as democratic nomi-
nee for governor. As to his election-Well
that's diferent.-Montesano Vldette.
Fred R. Reed is not the only proposed
candidate for lieutenant governor; but he
has the credit of being perhaps as well
known as any other gentleman desirous of
obtaining that position. However, it is
not positively known, even here in
Yakima, that Mr.. Reed is working for the

Veteran Leag que.
New YORK, May PA Syracuse special
says: A soldiers movement has started
here which may have an important inau-
ence on the politics of the state The plan
is to organize veteran leagues all over the
state and give them distinctively political
character, local as well as general. The
Grand Army posts, as such, have nothing
to do with politics. "The organization, ("
said veteran, twill be formulated as an
aid in politics, and perhaps in other direc-
tlons. We shall organize so we shall be in
position to assist friends effectively when
ever an opportunity Affords" The exist
ing country veteran leagues will be the
basis for the organization, and there will be
civic committee for every assembly dis
trict in the state and a vice commander for
every town and ward and he will have
staff of ten members. The soldiers are
hopeful in building up in this way polit-

why Chiidren Wear Glasses.

Yes, ! think more young people wear
glasses now than formerly. This Is owing
to the fact that early education is more
generally pushed, and that young people
read more nowadays than they used to do.
Another thing is becoming known--the
eyes often differ with each other Ia strength
and vision. One eye gives out before the
other. In choosing glasses both eyes should
be consulted, as both feet should be suited
In buying pair Of shoes. Few people pay
any attention to this. though the eyes
