sYMEs FOUND GUILTY.

Convicted of Murder in the First De-
gree.
The jury in the case Of Alfred j.
Symes at Ritzville, charged with
the mErder Of Constable Conlee,
brought in verdict Saturday at
midnight of murder in the first de-
gree. The counsel for the defendant
moved for an arrest Of Judgment.
The prisoner took the verdict quiet
ly, making absolutely no demons
ftration, but his face was deathly
pale.
(June 81, 1895, Constable L. A.
Conlee, was taking AlfredJ ]. Symes
to Ritzyille, Wash, to answer
charge of stealing hogs, When
within three miles Of the town,
Symes pulled out revolver, which
he had coacealed in his chaps, and,
telling Conlee that his time had
come, began, as Symes said, "pump-
ing led into him." He kept on
pumping" until all the shots were
fred from his revolver. Symes
then made his way out of Wash
ington, and across Idaho, into
Montana. There he was given en-
Ployment on a ranch tending
sheep. The owner of the ranch
saw description ofSynnes in a
newspaper. One day he caught
Symes when off his guard and
knocked him down with billet Of
wood, securely tied him up and
afterwards turned him over to the
authorities, who brought him back
to Ritzville. At the time of Symes
capture, fairy tale was told how
a lynching party was formed to
string him up, but were prevailed
upon by the murderer's sweetheart
to give him a chance in court.)

An old Timer

E.A. Linn, the pioneer of Wall
lula, greeted his old Walla Walla
friends the other day, says the
Statesman. Mr.. Linn was one of
the first settlers of old Wallula,
and can entertain listeners by the
hour in reciting "reminiscences Of
early pioneer life in the days when
steamboats, landed at Wallula and
freight was hauled from that point
for hundreds of miles. Mr.. Linn
has rare collection of Indian rel
les, such as Indian arrows, spear
heads, beads, pipes, mallets, toma-
hawks, Indian ornaments, etc.
Many of these curios were washed
by highwater from the old Indian
graveyard on the bank of the CO.
lumbia near the mouth of the Wal.
la Walla.
It is rare treat for the tender
foot to be present at the meeting of
oldtimers, like Mr.. Linn and Chas.
Painter, for instance, and hear
them account their experiences in
the early days when the streets of
Walla Walla were Indian trails
and cow-paths, and the yell of the
coyote and the war hoop Of the
savage often disturbed the slum-
'bers of the inhabitants.
The early history of the Walla
Walla valley would make book
of thrilling interest, and some one
should be found to write it while
the old landmarks are still with us.

Genino Pardoned.

On Saturday Gov. McGraw
granted a pardon to Eremino Geni-
no, an Italian, who was under a
life sentence for murder commit
ted in Skamania county about IA
years ago. The impression has
long prevailed that Genino was an
innocent man, the victim of per-
jured testimony. At the time Of his
trial he could not speak word Of
English, and was at a great disad-
vantage in defending himself
against the crime charged against
him. 1t seems that the body of a
man riddled with bullets was found
hidden under pile Of brush and
leaves in the woods. Several wit
nesses conspired to fasten the crime
on the helpless Genino, who made
no effort to escape. The prisoner
has now served thirteen years and
three months.

Horrible IfTrue.

A strange story comes from
Huntsville. near Ogden. It is that
two little children went to the
chicken coop. One reached into a
darkened nest for the eggs. The
child drew back with cry of pain,
something sharp as a needle had
struck it on the finger. The other
child then reached its chubby hand
into the same place, it. too, fell
back with shrek of pain. The
mother, hearing their cries, put
down her babe and run to the res
cue. While she was away the babe
fell into the we'll and was drowned.
The two children also died. They
had been bitten by a rattle snake
that lay coiled upon the warm eggs
in the nest.

Where Is ANDY Brown

Andrew Brown, we'll known in
the Granite creek country, says the
La Grande Chronicle, has not been
heard from for some time and his
many friends have some fear for
his safety. When he left Granite
he did not intimate leaving the
country, and the fact that he own
ed mining property in that section,
precludes the possibility Of his
leaving without telling his inten-
ton to do so. Where he is or why
he left is an enigma. His friends
fear that he has met with foul play.
When he left Granite he had some
money and grave fears are now en-
tertained for his safety.

Oregon Annual cold outnut.

The Oregon Mining Journal, a

has the following mining news;
No accurate data can be had with
which to solve the question as to
the annual gold output Of the state
of Oregon, From the best, data OBJ
tainable, however it approximates
S2,000,000. The diffioultyin reach
ing a conclusion arises from the
fact that the gold is shipped out to
.differentsparts of the country, and
by dfgerent channels. Much of it
goes bY'express and some by mail.
Ne data is to be had from which to
ascertain the amount shipped
through the postoflice. Again,
much of the gold product Of the
state goes to the Shelby Smelling
company, at San Francisco, where
it ultimately reaches the mint and
is credited to California. About
100000 is annually produced in
Southern Oregon. About 100000
is annually sold to the bank and
merchants at Grants Pass.
