Was Unable to Stand the Finan-
cial Strain.
WAS AN UNEXPECTED DEMAND
The Assets Are Placed at Sfe5.000 and
the Liabilities nj About
$4,000.

Palouse. Wash. Aug. s.--The bank OF
Paiouse failed 10 open for business this
morning. At conference held last
night II was decided that this was the
best course. as the cash on hand had
dwindled no low that further receipt OF
deposits would be unjustifiable. The
liabilities are placed between S65, 100 and
10000. and the assets at about Sl65, 600
Among the heaviest creditors were:
Theis q Barroll. $4,000.
First National bank OF Portage. Wis
consin. $1,000.
London a San Francisco bank Of
Portland. $500
Wells-Fargo OF San Francisco, $4,000.
Western National bank of New York,
$4,000.
Deposits. $4,000. and miscellaneous.
from 5000 to $4,000

When the panic struck the country In
June. 1893. there were three banks here
the First National, the Palouse Far
mers'. and the Security State. The
First National closed Its doors, and ar
terward there was union of the inter-
ests of the broken bank and the Pa
louise Farmers. and the new concern
was called the Bank of Palouse. The
Security State is now the only bank
here.

RICH MINES IN owyHgs COUNTY
Old Properties Working Again and New
strikes Reported.

Boise City. Idaho. Aug. 9.-That the
mines of owyhee county under good
management are going to develop until
they shall regain their early reputa-
ton. is shown by the results being at
tained In the Poorman. That is one
of the old properties. II was once
great gold producer. but since the time
OF paralysis of the district. II had until
recently been AN uncertain quantity.
When Mr.. Grothe was put In charge for
the London company, systematic devei-
opment began. The mine already show
ed sufficiently TO warrant the rebuilding
of the mill which was burned down last
year. but II was proposed TO put In
only five stamps for the present. The
developments were such, however that
II was later determined to put In 10
stamps. The last chapter. though, is
still more interesting; the company is
contemplating putting In 20 stamps at
once. This is because a new strike has
been made In the mine which seems 10
justify such an enlargement OF the
plan for operations. The details of this
discovery has not been learned. but 1t
shows large body OF good ore and IL
proves 10 the satisfaction OF the man.
agement that the vein Is strong and
permanent. and that there need be no
further fear of the property. 1t Is
quite likely that additional machinery
viii be on the way to Silver City.

WANTED TO KILL HIS ATTORNEY
fremont Smith. Executed nj san Quentin.
Had but One Regret.

San Quentin Prison. Cal. Aug. o.
Fremont Smith. the murderer OF HIS
companions. two Colusa fishermen, was
hanged today. Smith said his only re-
gret was that he had not had chance
TO kill his attorney. by whom he main
tained his interests had been neglected
He maintained his innocence and said
that In allowing him TO hang Governor
Budd was a murderer. Smith had be-
come so stout In confinement that the
rope cut into his neck. almost severinR
the head from the body. A stream of
blood poured from his throat during all
the time he was kept suspended by the
rope. When the body was cut down II
was found to be horribly mutslated by
the rope. The evidence against Smith
was purely circumstantial. The bodies
OF his fishermen companions were
found In river with marks OF violence
upon them. Smith was arrested some
distance away with a watch and some
firearms belonging 10 them.

EVIDENCES OF A CRIME
George Ciackiug of icssczke Locks.
known 10 Have Money. One
OF the Victims.

Pendleton. Or. Aug. "a mystery
dark and deep. pregnant with serious
consequences To some persons, envelops
the Transfer hotel fire. How II started
II u question not satisfactorily an
swered. but the conviction is forced
that some merciiess fiend. TO cover his
own dark deeds. applied the torch
which caused the death of four human
beings and Injuries TO others.
The Investigation. though quiet, Is
searching. and trails of the criminal
are being closely followed.
Hints OF robbery and possible muder
before the fire and then the crime of
arson to destroy the tracks are given
out. but they are only hints.
Rees Haycock. the hotel proprietor.
is free from a breath of suspicion and
has the confidence of this community.
but some OF the guests are under sur
veillance and II the clues hold good
startling developments are expected.
All the missing persons are now ac-
counted for. The night clerk has ascer9
tanned that he wrote u. ID. Tailor for
-. ID. Tilton." Tilton has been found.
40 this eliminates the name of Tailor
from the affair. II leaves only four
missing and four bodies recovered.
The facts relating to all but one have
been sscertained. William Stevenson
can not be traced to any town. 80 his
antecedents are entirely unknown. To-
day a Spokesman-R Review representa-
tive found a vaiise I'm the express Office
shipped from Cascade Locks to George
II. Clacking at Pendleton. In the va
iise were found envelopes on which
Clacking's name was addressed. BY
inquiry over the wires Ii was learned
that Clackfng was secretary of the
Elks lodge at Cascade Locks and a
member of the knights of Pythias
lodge at the same city. He was a prom
tnent young man and was employed by
Day Brothers. government contractors.
James Graham who came to pendleton
with Clacking. says the latter had
plenty OF money and was looking for a
business location TO invest his capital.
Ciacking was about to dress himself
well so as 10 present a good appearance,
as he made his inquiries from business
men and banks, but Graham advised
him 20 go In cheap clothing 50 as not
to make anyone think he had money
and so avoid being robbed. That night
the hotel burned and clacking met his
death. perhaps. say the officers OF the
law. being robbed first by the same ones
who set the fire. This Is the trend of
the evidence. Considerable excitement
was occasioned by the fact that the
authorities have been following clue
as TO whether murder was committed.
A woman who was carried out during
the fire asserted that she saw a man
lying In a pool OF blood. dead or dying.
The statement at first was not believed.
but In view OF such strong conviction
that someone was murdered before the
fire. the story is now thought not Inn
probable.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY LAW ARGUMENT
Senator caffery Devoted His Time 90

Senator Caffery Devoted His Time TO
proving Its consfitufionaiity.
Washington. Aug. 9.-Senator Caffrey
took the floor when the sugar bounty
hearing was resumed today. He began
by eliciting from Mr.. Bowler brief
statement of his position. which that
gentleman said was based principally
on the belief that the iaw was uncon-
stitutional. Caffrey then made the fol-
lowing proposition. saying IL contained
In brief the point that he would at
tempt to make: That the judiciary
power lodges. by express constitutional
grant. I'm the judicial department and
that ~ any judicial function lodges In
any other district II must be by express
constitutional grant and II Il lodges In
the executive department at all IL must
be In its chief alone. and not In his sub
ordinates. Conceding for arguments
sake that the bounty law is not consti-
tutlonal to warrant the interpreta-
tion that IL Is unconstitutional. even
from a court, much less from a minis
terial officer, is not law. Even conced-
ing the unconstitutionality of the law,
the power lies in congress TO appropri-
ate money. especially where Il is ap-
propriated for the purpose OF repairing
a wrong or injury inflicted by congress
itself
He then proceeded to elaborate these
points in an argument devoted almost
exclusively to the constitutionaiity Of
the bounty law.
