The Colfax Lynching.

Coroner Shaw found small
memorandum book in the pock-
cts of Parker's clothes, saws the
Colfax Commoner. The writing
showed that Parker was keeping
note of the incidents of the trial
and, perhaps, suggesting some
questions to be nropounded to
witnesses in the murder trial.
Here are few extracts:
"Had they found this splinter
when THEY took me up into the
room to search; ditto, paper
burned oil cam
"Who searched my room prior
to finding these things in my
room. Whether they searched
my room or the dead mans
room first. Whether one and
the same person searched both
rooms"
"Refuse to leave town" are
the words contained on one page,
They may have indicated a
point in the contemplated line of
defense.
On another leaf of this book
were found these addresses.
81. P. Baker, 10 W. Sotth
street, Frederick, Md.
Laura Jones, 1876 South
street, frederick, Md..
Between the leaves Of OF the
book was clipping from a news
paper relating to a blacksmith
who was suspected Of having had
a hand in Cooper's murder.
Coroner Shaw has written to
the addresses above mentioned,
and the answers may reveal
some knowledge Of Parker on
the part of the persons named.
On Friday morning the side
walks at every corner in the city
of Pullman contained certain
figures in chalk The design

doubly sure it was necessary to
examine their heads, as the
criminals are described as being
partially bald.
Constable Dixon was summon
ed and made acquainted with
the circumstances and requested
TO hold the men up and subject
them to an examination. BY
this time the men had gone
down and engaged lodgings at
Gains livery stable and were
in the upper story spreading
their blankets. As the men who
escaped from jail are described
as being bad, bold and danger
Gus, it looked like a rather dan
gerous undertaking to attempt
TO approach them through a
hole in the floor via step lad
der. An hour or so was con-
sumed in discussing the ques-
ton of guarding the barn and
dispatching a messenger for the
sheriff but before any conclusion
was reached the men came down
town and entered Gerding's sa-
loon and a few of the brayest
armed with six shooters, clubs
and etc, walked in and request
ed them TO raise their hats,
whereupon it was discovered
that they had not reached the
required stage of bald headed
ness, so they were turned loose.

Hats Off

Oh Monday evening aboutgup.
per time couple of men came
into town carrying their blank
cts on their backs, and stopped
on the corner by Gerding's sa-
loon to rest While they were
there the stage pulled up at the
post office with Johnnie Provost
on the b6x and Mr. NJ. Parker,
of Omaha, Neb, as passenger.
These gentlemen had met Depu-
ty Sheriff Newcomer, Of Colfax,
on The way out from Lewiston,
who had shown them the pictures
OF the men who had escaped from
the Whitman County Jail, and
are Stir at large, and requested
them to keep a lookout for them.
AS soon as they east their cold
gray eyes upon the tourists who
were resting over in front Of the
saloon they decided that they
were the fugitives, as they an

pearance, but to make assn rance

IlO matter what she threw at, il
was her game. y
The owner of the ranch was 4
mild-tempered harmless sort d
man, and not having any wife
she having died before my ap-
pearance in that section Of the
country, had nothing to say,
he was afraid to discharge the
cook; in fact he told me very
contidentially one day, miles
away from the house and only
then after carefully scanning the
horizon to be absolutely sure
that she was not near, that she
was the worst tempered woman
he had ever known, and could L.
for God sake, suggest some way
to get her out Of the house and
away? ! suggested burning it,
but he was not enthusiastic over
that suggestion. saying it was
the only one he had. then
suggested poison. He said no,
it would not do. | begged him
to. He considered it for several
days, but finally weakened.
So matters logged along, get
ting no better, and her love for
me growing warmer every day.
| could not rub away, for she
told me if ! ever deserted her she
would follow me to the ends of
the earth. / could not escape by
crossing the ocean. for what
would one little ocean be to that
kind OF a woinan! My main
trouble was to keep her from

happy for couple Of days and

when little matter occurred
that knocked our happiness out
in one round. She was churn-
ing, and had been for long
time and no signs Of butter.
She was getting wild when |
came along on horseback. She
says, "What do you suppose is
the matter with this stuff? I've
been churning two hours and no
butter; | can't imagine what the
trouble is" | asked her if she
had looked into the churn. She
said she had. "That settles it,,

ny Love On The Snake.

" ASH American: | have no ex-
cuses to make for loving this
girl, for, between us, there was
not much about her to love, ex-
cept that she was a woman--ar1d
they were very scarce around
tnose p9rts--and | am SO CON
sIltNted that ! had to love some
thing To say that she was a
devil and had a temper of four
devils boiled down, is paying her
compliment. am frank to
say tnat the English language is
not full enough to do her Justice
regarding her general make up
and disposition, But i loved
her-and she loved me, with a
love that you could not shake
off with gattling gun. Itpame
in waves. 1t would rise higher
and fall lower than any love |
ever heard of before or since.
She could do more mean things
IN five minutes than hundred
men could do in year. Still,
in many respects she was very
superior young woman. She
and | worked on a ranch. She
was general manager Of the
kitchen; | was general manager
of everything out doors, or at
least when she did not ru.. ev-
erything, which she did every
day or SO. 1t is only fair to the
dear girl that / tell the reader
what she looked like. Well, she
was very tall, very bony and as
strong as team of mules, but
by no means as easily handled.
She had bright red hair, with
a compound fracture of both
eyes, which made it almost inn
possible for anybody but her
most intimate friends to tell
which way she was looking.
She was frecled with regular
Fourth of July complexion.
Her taste ran to bright eolors,
and when she was rugged up for
Sunday she was radiantly gor-
geous; an Italian sunset was alb
solutely colorless compared to
my love on the Snake. 1t is not
my nature to be ungallant to
women, and l cant tell you all
the dreadful things this big hus-
sy did to me; but you must be
Satisfied with the cold facts
that dynamite was harmless as
face powder; that tornado was
a gentle zephyr compared to the
fury of this Ibig Idaho darling
that l. was to love, had to love,
did love, was not allowed to do
anything else if | wanted to. I
have always been considered a
manly man, but | was Rtt in it
in this case; neither would a
battalioh of cavalry have been.
When she proclaimed her love
for me, it was in a straight, man
ly way, and straight to the
point-the cattle would stop
grazing, the coyotes would stink
to. their holes, a haze would come
over the sun. All nature would
act disturbed. | did not ask her
to love me; in fact she asked me,
