Marshal of Sprague Killed by a
Desperate Prisoner.
WAS EN- ROUTE TO RITZVlLLE
Three Bullets Through The Heart One
Each Through the Head, Shout
der and Hip.

Ritzville, Wash, June 25.-For a long
time a warrant has been in the possess
sion Of the officers for the arrest of AL
fred Symes, a noted cattle rustler,
known as Jesse James," and who has
always been considered as a hard citi-
zen by those acquainted with him. He
was a member of the gang who had a
hang-out in q rocky cave in a wild
country near Rock lake and which was
unearthed recently by the Whitman
County Stock Association.
Yesterday Symes was in Sprague and
was seen by Constable L. A. Conlee,
who has for years acted as detective for
the cattle men, Conlee arrested the
man, and a short while after noon start
ed with him on horseback for Ritzville.
The two horses were tied together and
when about five miles from Ritzville
the prisoner in some way oVerpowered
his captor and secured his gun. With the
the officers own revolver Symes shot
six bullets into Conlee, three passing
through the heart, one through the head
and one each in the shoulder and hip.
He then secured the two horses and
about 8 O'Clock last evening was seen
going north towards the British line.
The tragedy must have occurred
about o'clock, as the railroad section
men heard the shooting a short while
before time to go in.
The body was not found until about Z
O'Clock this morning. 1t was discovered
by Hugh Rankin, who met the two men
a few minutes before the tragedy and
who caught the horses and turned them
over to Symes, who informed him that
Conlee had been thrown but not serious
ly hurt. Mr. Rankin, after thinking the
matter over, was not satisfied with the
story told him about Conlee being
thrown and mounted his horse this
morning and started out to investigate
with the result above stated. He noti-
fled the authorities here and a coroner s
jury went to the scene and held an in
quest, after which the body was brought
to town and prepared for shipment to
Sprague, where the dead man has a
wife and two children.
kilograms were sent in all directions,
warning the authorities and today Sher-
if Thompson with a well-armed and de-
termined posse started out after the
murderer.
SYMHS is A DEAD SHOT.
Symes lives about IA miles from Ritz
vile, near the Whitman county line,
and is well known here and in Sprague.
He is an exceedingly pleasant sort of
man, extremely polite, and, while re-
garded as rather crooked, was not con-
| sidered so very desperate. The muir
derer is tall, slim man with a light
sandy mustache, freckled face and very
prominent front teeth. He is an expert

is evidenced by the precautions taken
against the army for centuries. In the
early history OF England troops were
raised ior particular purpose and dis
banded when hostilities ceased. MILF
tafy law, therefore, covered only a time
Of war. The crown declared certain
articles Of war for the time being. This
method oil governing the army remained
IN vogue until 1859. when the FIRST
mutiny act was passed, and the army
was brought under direct control Of
Parliament. The mutiny act was the
military law for about two hundred
years; and the manner OF It's existence
maniiests clearly the determination to
subordinate the military to the will oil
the people. II was brought forth on
each occasion for one year only in com.
pliance with the constitutional theory
that the maintenance Of a standing army
In time OF peace, except by permission
OF Parliament, is against law. II had,
therefore, to be passed at each session
by each house OF Parliament, clause by
clause, and line by line. In 1879 the
mutiny act was superseded by the
Army Discipline and Regulation Act"
which is a fixed and permanent code
like our own, but the consent Of Parlia.
ment for maintaining an army must be
obtained every year. The consent gives
force to the act for one year.
This cautious way vi disbanding the
army every twelve months was brought
forward to our Constitution IN the pro.
vision which declares that no appro.
priation Tor the support OF the army
shall be for a longer period than two
years.
On account Of the supposed danger
from the army. the question Of its prop.
er strength In time OF peace has been a
source Of anxiety to Congress and the
American people from the beginning.
In 1918 MI. Calhoun. secretary Of war,
In an able state paper, replying to the
question, what reduction may be made
m the military peace establishment OF
the United States with safety to the
public service" voiced the sentiment
and the opinion Of tue leading states.
men OF the time. After stating that a
reduction OF the expense could not be
made with safety by reducing the army,
which then consisted OF about 10000
men. he continued: I'm coming to this
conclusion, have not overlooked the
maxim that a large army Is dangerous
to the liberty Of the country, and that
our ultimate reliance for defense ought
to be ON the militia. It's most Jealous

Will equally prove that the present Is
not too large. To consider the presen.

1t Is conceived, more Of timidity than

Thus was presented the spectacle OF a
nation which had by force of arms torn
itself away from the political bondage Of
the most powerful country on earth,
ard which, out three years before, had
maintained its sovereignty against the
same power, grayely discussing the
question whether or not its liberty was

Congress having raised an army, aud

proper to consider some OF the laws
under which the army may be called

1t is the acknowledged duty OF Con.

It's decision is final. Congress also dc
cides upon the means proper to fulfill
Its guaranty. II Congress sees III Ia

plainly within It's constitutional power.
The provision made by Congress lot
the employment OF the militia to repel
invasion is found first IN the &C, Of
February 2Sth, 1895, wherein It Is made
lawful for the President to call forth

Delegate Oaks Murphy. according to

Delegate Oaks Murphy, according to n special Phmnix dispatch in the Tue son Star of May 24, has written to the Secretary of War that the Apaches are restless and threatening, and sense of insecurity prevails, and that such n condition Is a great injury to Arizona, which is true. He also says 'the com plaint ot iuadequacy of rations and compensation for the right of way through the reservation is merely an excuse, which we can not similarly endorse.
 Being within ear-shct of the San Car los Indian agency, our information is daily acquired, and we are likely to comprehend the situation better than those living miles away, whose ears are stuffed by discordant rumors. and we therefore disoredit the statement that tho complaint of inadequacy of rations and right of way through the reserya- ton is merely an excuse

 A large part of Secretary Carlisles s speech was devoted to the contention that, the prices of exportable products being fixed in foreign markets, the effect of free ooi,,Sge would be that the exchange would be doubled, and the pound sterling instead of being worth $4.S66 in our currancy would be reck- oned at sa632, so that the farmer would receive just one half ot the value represented in American money, for his wheat, corn or pork sold abroad Mir. Carlisle all through his speech ignores the fact that the United States is tho richest nation in the world, and also the largest producer of silver, and that the adoption of free coinage by the United States would so diminish the supply for use in the arts and to maintain the coinage of other countries, that the price would quickly advance to par Mir. Carlisle must have high opinion of his country to place it on an equality, in his comparisons, with Mex leo, Chili and other inferior nations,
