WENATcHEE, July 2o.-ISpecial. Pat
rick Conley, alias "Black Pat" a we'll
known gambler and desperado, formerly
located at Sand Point, Idaho. was shot
and instantly killed on the 25th inst. at
one of the advance railway construction
camps on the Great Northern, sixty miles
west of here. on Mason creek, near the
summit, in KIttitas county. by a young
man named Ed Wilson. The alteration
which led TO the shooting was caused by q
dispute as to the ownership or possession
of riding horse. Wilson walked into
town and surrendered himself to Sheriff
Arthur. His preliminary examination
will be had on the 30th, at 3 o'clock p. m.
Conley was formerly civil engineer and
was offered position on the railroad this
spring Last May he was arrested for
running shell game and lay in Jail thirty
days.
To a reporter Wilson told the following
story of the occurrence:
killed Conley in self-defense but so you can
for yourself, will tell you how il came about
Conley had my horse from Friday until Monday
evening, when saw and killed him. He took
the horse without my consent. He came riding
along to where was on the south fork of Mason
creek. When i saw him told him to get Off
and feed the horse. By way of answer he ap-
piled to me number of hard names, and said
he would not then stepped up and told him
he could ride my horse no farther, to which he
replied, ed d--n you. IL show you," and at
the same time threw up his hand to his hfp
pocket if TO draw gun. i saw what he was
doing, and. knowing the desperate aud reckless
character OF the man, thought either my time
or his was come. i then drew my gun az
quickly as possible, and plugged away. striking
Conley near the heart. He fell over dead and
never made a struggle.
There were three witnesses to the shoot.
ing. Wilson is a boy only 20 years old.
He came from the Coast to this section,
and his parents are now residing some-
where on the Sound. He is very cool,
and does not display the slightest ner.
vousness when conversing of the killing.
His only fear seems to be that his mother
will hear of the trouble. The other side
of the story is yet to be told. Officers are
now in the upper country, getting wit
nesses and looking into the case.

DEFICIENCX BILLS.

One Of the most effective ways Of getting
money out of tile people is by means.of de-
-fei-ncy bills. 1t will be urged oH behalf
Of these bills that debt has beeu incurred
IN good faith, aad that TO withhold the
means OF payment will be "a kind of repudi-
alton. The honest member or. the Legis-
Iature doubts if the. expense was necessary.
but be does not Ike 10 repudiate debt that
may have in j q measure Of merit. Officials
sometimes do travelling that may or may not
be necessary, bat whenthe expense has. been
incurred in the belief that it was necessary
it some times seems hard t0malse the official
foot his own bills. An amendment: Will
come before the people in November au-
thoFizing the Governor to object to enc or
more items in the deficiency bill, while ap-
hRys been incurred from necessity. Tie
amendment also provides that:
No officer OF The, State shall have: power 10 in-
cur.any deficiency except in case OF actual me-
cessity, and then only upon the written au-
thoIlty, FIRST obtained. OF the Governor SecFe-
taty OF state and Attorney General Any-den-
shall be void and the Legislature shallnol have
powtrte TO appropriate money 10 paythe same.
There viii not probably be many mega
tiyes TO this amendment. Any deficiency
" wbichis really necessary can always secure
tie indorsenient Of the Board Of ExamIn-
ers,. and il is, TO be hoped that there will
always be one member of the board who
will vote to authorize any State official to
incur debts for the State to pay Under
frivolous pTetenses.

SO far as Congressional districts are affect

considerable waste of mai0rlttes on either

design in putting some Republican pre-
