Charles Independence Roth, New What
CONS nominee for the legislature, was born
at Peoria, Ills, July 4. 1860. Hence the
significance of his middle name. In 1884,
the year he attained his majority, he was
admitted to the bar and practiced his pro
fession for several years. He came to
Washington in 1888, locating at once in
Whatcom county. The following year he
was elected probate judge, and the year
thereafter he was married to Misa Lottie
Roeder, daughter of Captain ROeder, the
well known pioneer and owner of the great
Chuckanut quarry, of which Mr.. Roth has
been manager for the past four years, and
is now part owner. He is individually the
owner of much valuable property, having
recently completed the Lottie Roth build
ing, one of the finest business blocks in
Western Washington.

TRAIN ROBBERS.
They Are Said to be Surrounded

Made a Drummer Drink Four
Bottles of Beer with Him-The
Pursuing Posse.


REEDLEY, CAL, Aug. s.-A telephone
message just received from Orosi in the
foot hills twelve miles from Reedly, says
the robbers are on Niger creek, ten miles
from Orosi, surrounded by posse of over
fifty armed men. No new developments
but the officers are very sanguine and feel
confident of the capture Of the desperadoes
if they get no further in the mountains.
Provisions were sent to the posse from
Visalia. The chase will continue with in
creased vigilance. John Sontag stopped
at New Reedley hotel July 22nd, was
very talkatiye and astonishingly profane.
He spent the evening in the hotel drink
ing beer. A drummer for a shoe manu-
facturer was there. Sontag made him
drink till they emptied four bottles. Son.
tag told Landlord Ayres that he was going
to squaw Valley to join his brother and
then they were going shooting.
VIsALIA, Gala, August 8.-All but two OF
the Visalia posse, in pursuit of the robbers,
have returned, the last coming this morn
ing. The robbers were traced to Niger Greek
where the trail was lost. II is supposed
they are in the brush near where a mule
and cart was found. The party visited
Evans mine at Sampson fiat and found
dynamite and caps hidden away. A bum
die of letters addressed to George Sontag
were unearthed from his wife IN Minnesota,
addressed to him at various points, show
ing that he did not come directly
from the east as he claimed
These letters are a giyeaway on him. An
effort was made this morning to organize a
party to go to lnyo county with Detective
Will Smith. Those approached refused to
dence in him. The hills will be full of men
again tonight and the pursuit will not be
abandoned until the last hope is gone.
Deputy Sheriff Witty is still cheerful. He
has pain in his side, and there is some fear
Of pneumonia. As soon as possible he will
be removed to his sisters, in Alameda

Mckinley arrived here at noon to day. AZ
ter Luncheon a reception was held in the
Republican League rooms AT , p. IN. the
Governor was driven to the Fair grounds,
whore he spoke on money and taxation un-
der the auspices of the Twin City Chataqua
Association. He spoke from a temporary
platform erected on the race track facing
the grand stand, which was filed By an as
semblage Of 10000 persons As the carriage
drove Up the party was greeted y prolong-
ed cheering. which was repeated when Gov
ernor Mckinley appeared on the platform.
He Vas introduced by Judge Reed and
spoke for almost an hour.
Governor Mckinley said The Demo-
cratic platforms of late years have declared
in favor Of free silver, but when in the last
Congress they had a majority they failed to
pass free coinage bill against the opposi-
ton Of 4 solid Republican minority and de-
serters from the Democratic ranks. What
We want is dollar worth 100 cents here
a well as elsewhere. Be it silver, paper or
gold, the Republican party insists and has
always insisted that It should be worth 100
cents. Ifthere are two kinds of money in
circulation Of different values everyone
knows that the cheaper money drives the
good money out Of circulation. The 100
cent dollar will not associate with the So
cent dollar. (Laughter).
Governor Mckinley then went on to
show that protection benefited the farmer
By giving him a nearby market He de
el4red that the old farmers who founded
the republic originated protection.

but came too late to be of service; her
shrieks, however, brought the father who

to the shore ofa nearby lake whore he knew
there was an eagle eyre in the cliffs. Shaw
arrived Just in time to witness a terrible
sight, two eagles were huvering above a
rock, filing the air with their cries and bat

high on the cliff Before the father reached
the summit one Of the eagles had fallen dy-
ing to the ground. while the other had again

mother of four children left home on a

children and a large dog in the house. The
children, when the parents had gone, became
anxious for something to eat The eldest
girl, IA years of age, went TO the cupboard
which she found empty, and upon examin-
ing hepocketbook discovered but y pennies
with which 10 keep the wolf from the door.
It was upon this small pittancs that they
existed for four days, and in the meanwhile
the dog was bowling mournfully for food
and water Hearing the cries Of the animal,
the neighbors began to investigate, and soon
learned the condition Of the unfortunate
children. Food was then supplied and their
suffering alleviated. 1t IS understood that
steps will be taken to punish the parents.
