Only one or two parties in the house
heard the shot fired, as the gun was held
so close to MIR. Cooper's breast that the
report was smothered. Mr.. Morroll
proprietor of the Office saloon, occupied
the room directly over that of Mr. Cooper,
and, although he heard the struggle and
the call for help, he did not hear the re-
port OF the pistol. The ball entered the
left breast, above and to the right of the
nipple, and severed the left oracle of the
heart, causing instant death. The gun
used was a 38-caliber, and showed that
it had not been used very much, although
it was an old one, it was quite tarnished
and rusty.
If the dastardly assassin could be
caught the people of Pullman would
make short work of him, and would
hang him up to one OF the numerous
telegraph poles that adorn our city, as a
warning to others. We do not believe
in Lynch law but this is one of those
cases where the majesty of the law is too
slow to satisfy the public, and such men
should be taught the lesson that murder
is the greatest sin that can be committed,
and that death alone can pay the penalty

years that he has been coroner of Whit |

with men and he will dwell with them
and they shall be his people, and God
himself shall be with them and be their
God" In the evening union services
were held with the Methodist C hurch at

his text, "a Greater Religion" his sub
iect was well handled, and showed
great study :and deep throught. And

David Wilson on the Wheat Crop.


ldCuLnd Ledger
David Wilson returned yesterday from
a week trip through eastern Washing
ton, where he spent several days ex-
amining the wheat crop. Said he yes
terday afternoon:
"Ihe figures given in the dispatches
regarding the amount of injured grain
are very much exaggerated. When l
LETT Sprague Monday at one o'clock in
the morning, there was little drizzle.
The sun was shining brightly, however,
at Yakima at seven o'clock, and contin-
ued to do SO all day yesterday. As for
the alleged loss of from 10000 to 10,-
100000 bushels in Whitman county
alone, the statement is ridiculous and
utterly misleading. In the first place
10 per cent. OF the entire grain yield of
Whitman county had been threshed and
secured prior to the setting in OF the late
rains. OF the balance OF the crop, more
than one-half will be saved if no heavy
rams come hereafter.

OF foreign attachments to secure the money

he represented William d. Broomall, the
receiver for the tirm, and the latter was
entitled to the funds due the firm from the
Wilmington creditors.
