Washington, May l0.-Commission.
er Hermann has recommended to the
encouragement the suspension for the
present OF legal proceedings growing ont
of sheep pasturing within the Cascade
range forest reserve. The attorney gem
eral is requested to instruct the United
States attorney for Oregon to stay all
proceedings until further orders, in
view of the legislation pending in con-
gress and the probable early action by
the department on the question.
The recommendation is due to q rep
resentation from Oregon that great
hardship and loss have resulted to
sheepowners of the state by their ex-
clusion from grazing lands within the
reserve ON which they have been de.
pendent for years.

Fisher, of Deer Lodge, Mont, who un.
it'll the last election was county re-
corder, died here shortly before s this
evening from shot in the right tenn

his valise and took out his revolver, it

MARKED BY LIGHTNING.
Young Girls Frightful Experience in a
Thunder storm.

Chewelah, Wash, May 1O.-An ex-
traOrdinary electrical storm occurred
yesterday, in which a number Of peO-
pie were more or less injured. The
most unfortunate victims were Miss
Lutte Mccormack and Miss Laura
Boiler, aged 16 and IA respectively.
They were returning from school, and
took refuge under large pine tree. a
bolt OF lightning struck the tree, and
the girls were knocked senseless. Soon
after, neighbor saw Miss Boiler aim
lessly wandering near his house, and
he and others instituted a search.
They went to the tree and found the
apparently lifeless body of Miss Nc
Cormack. She was lying on her back,
twelve feet from the tree, having heen
thrown that distance by the force OF
the thunderbolt. The lightning struck
her first on the back Of the head, and a
strip OF hair an inch wide was burned
clear to the skin from the last cervical
to the third dorsal vertebra. At the
latter spot there was burned black a

the knee and the sole Of the foot, on
each leg, strip an inch and half
wide was burned. Her hat was iitcr-
ally torn to pieces, and was burning
when she was found. Her shoes were
torn to shreds, and one was lying about
six feet from her body, and the other
sixteen feet away, Notwithstanding
all these injuries, she was finally
brought back to consciousness. She is
in danger, however, because of infam-
nation of the nerves.
Three head of cattle half-mile away
were instantly killed. w. O. Smith, a
half-mile west, was partially stunned
and knocked down, and Ellsworth Cos
ner, a half-mile north, was knocked
down by the same thunder bolt.

A HEROIC BOY ENGINEER.
He Saved Many Lives at the Risk O.,
His Own.


His Own.
Houghton, Mich, May 10.-With a
box containing 200 pounds of dynamite
on fire, ten feet away from him, John
Thomas, boy who runs compressed
air hosting engine in the Tamarack
mine, stuck to his post and saved the
lives of the men at work in the mine
by his bravery.
Ten seconds after Thomas had hoisted
the men to the level the dynamite ex.
ploded, smashing the engine to pieces
and doing other damage, but the men
and the boy to whom they owe their
lives were safe.
The miners working in the 23d level
had put seven casts of dynamite in a
box for future use. At noon a miner
accompanied by Thomas went to his
post, gave the alarm to the miners in
the level below and ran his engine un-
til he had hOisted them out. He then
fed. The alarm of fire caused great ex-
cltement, but no miners were injured
IN the rush to reach daylight from a
depth OF 3 200 to 4, 900 feet.

Steady Advance of the Turks.

Lodon, May 10.-The Daily Nails
correspondent with the Turkish forces
at Pharsala, telegraphing yesterday
morning, says:
Yesterdays battle was the most de-
cisive of the entire war. 1t was not
intended at the beginning that the
fight should be a regular pitched en-
yagement, but on the arrival of Edhem
Pasha at the outposts furious firing
began. The weather. was cool and the
sky somewhat cloudy after thunder
storm. The village of Pharsala could
be see, huddled, as it were, under a
line of low, peaked hills. Higher and
roundabout were black hills rising be-
hind the others, while between us and
the village ran the small stream known
to the ancients as the Raipeus, crossed
by bridge at the railway.
Between the stream and the village
were the Greeks, in an excellent posi-
tion, well defended by earthworks.
Their advance line consisted of two
bridges, and their reserve of two half
brigades, altogether about 1000 men.
Against them were 90, 600 Turks.
The artillery began the engagement,
the Greek practice being much better
than usual, but after two hours they
began to retire across the river. This
was great mistake, as they were thus
inclosed between the river and the
mountains. with no room to deploy.
The sight was superb. In many
cases the Greeks fought with the cour-
age of despair. The great black masses
forming the rear guards to hold the
bridges covered the whole rich green
plain. The endurance and dash of the
Turks was magnificent, too. l reached
the battlefield with a regiment whose
men Immediately began to run for
ward, dancing under fire, and shouting
like children when they saw the en-
emy. The Greeks repulsed them vigor-
ously and followed up the repulse.
The Turks had formed in a semi-cir-
Gle of laundering batteries and crack
ling battalious. The division on the
extreme right tried to cut off the retreat
to Domokos, while the remainder of the
force flung itself upon Pharsala.
The battle was but little like the bat
ties described in books. There was no
firing OF volleys, no bayonet assaults,
no cheering, no rush-only steady,
leisurely advance into the open in per-
feet order, There was some individual
firing, and the soldiers shouted, "Allahl
Allah" until the constant repetition
swelled into one heavy, montonous
shout. l saw men suddenly fling up
their hands and fall face downward, but
the Greek fire in the main was ineffec.
tive.
Before . o'clock, the last village
north of the river had been taken.
Then the village of Vasili and the en-,
trenchments near the river WIS
stormed, with considerable loss to the
Turks, and the battle ceased at night.
fall, the tianking division having estab-
lished itself behind the Greeks and cut
off the best line OF retreat to Athens.

CRIME OF A FARM HAND.
Shoots His Former Employer and Three
Other PersOns.

other Persons.
Milwaukee, May 1O.-Alexander Har-
ris, farmer, living five miles south of
Waukesha, on the the MukwOnago
road, and his wife, were murdered this
morning when at breakfast. A hired
man was wounded, but escaped. A
hired girl was also wounded, and 1T
likely to die.
The crime was committed by William
Pouch, farmland. Pouch worked for
Harris about two years ago. Last night
at his request he was given lodging over
night.
About O'Clock this morning Harris
and hired man went to the yard to
milk the cows. Mrs. Harris and the
girl were preparing breakfast. Pouch
left his room quietly, and, going to the
yard, bade the men there good morn
ing. Harris and the hired man were
sitting on stools near each other.
Pouch drew his revolver and fired at
the farmer, killing him. He then shot
the hired man, intiicting probably a
fatal wound.
Pouch then walked leisurely to the
kitchen. He told Mrs. Harris her hus-
band would not be in for few minutes
and he would eat his breakfast at once.
The woman waited upon the murderer,
who seemed to relish his meal.
After breakfast Pouch started to walk
toward the door. Before Mrs. Harris
realized what was about to happen he
wheeled around and shot her in the
breast. He then fired at the hired
girl. The farmers wife died soon af-
terwards. The hired girl has chance
for recovery. Pouch then rode away on
a bicycle.
A posse of farmers is in hot pursuit.
The farmers are greatly excited and
enraged, and should they get hold of
the murderer he will undoubtedly be
lynched.
The supposition of the authorities is
that Pouch is either insane or commit
ted the murderers in order to hide the
evidence of another crime. The man
ner in which the murders were COM
mitted shows plainly that Pouch delib-
erately arranged his plans. Harris was
quite we'll to do. Pouch worked for
him in the summer of 1895, but nothing
occurred as far as known to cause
enmity between them. Pouch is 20
years of age. The name of the hired
man who was shot is Nelson McHolt.
The girl is Helen Vesback.
Latest reports from Mukwonago state
Mrs. Harris was not instantly killed
as at first stated, and may recover.
There is little hope for Nelson McHolt,
the hired man, and Helen Vesback,
the girl.

to DomOkos-Nolo Is Evacuated
Edhem Pasha still Pushing South.

Larissa, May lO.-A dispatch from
Pharsala, dated II A. NJ. today, de-
scribes the battle there, which begun
yesterday morning A Turkish corps
appeared on the summit of Mount
Tekke yesterday morning. Securing a
formidable entrenched position on the
hillside, they attacked the Fourth regi-
ment OF Evzones about noon. The lat
ter made a strong resistance, but were
finally compelled to slowly fall back.
The Turks then cannonaded and de-
stroyed the village of Ordskiniwof,
which is about two hours march north
of Pharsala. The crown prince having
ordered the army to draw up in line of
battle, the Greeks advanced about 2
P. NJ.
The Turks. numbering 80, 900, imme-
diately descended the slopes OF Mount
Tekke and planted batteries, which be-
gan to bonn bard the regiments Owing
to superiority of weight, the Turkish
cannon inflicted heavy losses upon the
Greeks, and especially near the station.
The Turks continued to advance until
they came into close quarters, and then
the crown prince decided to retire to
more commanding positions.
All the ammunition and supplies
have been transported to Domokos, on
the heights of which the Greek batteries
were prepared for action.
The Turks have burned the village
Of Tatia, and have massacred priest
and the entire family in the village of
Dioskani

sunnyside Mail Route.

After re-advertising, the mail
route between here and Sunnyside
has been let to one w. P. Parks of
Independence, Mo. for 1926. SO per
annum. The distance is about 65
miles and the mail runs twice a
week. This route was bid in at the
regular letting last winter at 1914.
90 per annum by parties at Clinton
Mo. When the first of July arrived
this year, the contractor was not
on hand, nobody would sublet at
the price, and special service was
put on. Then it was announced
that the original bid was informal,
that the contractog could not be held
on his bond and the route was re-
advertised.
The new contractor must be good
at figures. He has the matter down
to fine point. A local bid or two
were in, but the fact that it has been
let at trife less than their bids,
strengthens the growing belief that
there are leaks of some sort in these
mail lettings.

Lafayette Monument.

A Special Commission has been
formed by the Commissioner Gener-
al to the Paris Exposition for the
purpose of securing by popular con-
tributions, to be obtained through
the agency Of the schools of the
United States, funds to erect suita-
BILE monument to General Lafayette,
whose remains now lie in practi-
cally unmarked grave in the Petit
Picpus cemetery of Paris, France,
the same to be unveiled and dedi-
Gated on United States Day, the
Fourth of July, 1900, at the coming
international Exposition.
The plan of the Commission is
that the school officers aud teachers
arrange for the recognition of Octo-
Der 10th, as ola Fayette Day, in
the schools, and by the giving Of
appropriate exercises, to which an
admission fee may be charged or
where general collection may be
made, raise the funds necessary for
the erection of the monument.
The foregoing is part of letter
on the subject which is being sent
out to every school in the land.
We hope the project will meet
with the assistance which it de-
serves.

ROUND VALLEY RESERVOIR.

A boiler and engine have been
landed on the site of the proposed
reservoir wall at Round Valley.
They will be used fori handling
heavy stone.
1t is expected that active work
Will begin early next week. Some
prospecting for rim rock at the
narrowest point in the gap was
done last week. A pointed gas
pipe was driven to a depth of 35
feet with ordinary sledges, without
striking rock This is disappoint-
ing to some of the projectors, since
this is the most favorable point, and
a sixty foot wall there would answer
all requirements. 1t was hoped to
find rimrock here at ten or twenty
feet. Another drive was made
some rs feet above the first. Here
rock was encountered at twelve feet,
but wall at this point would be
nearly $50 feet long when complet-
ed.
1t is proposed now to build at the
narrowest point, the place where
the 80 foot sounding was made, and
to establish foundation by driving
rock into the soil there with a 1000
pound weight.
A solid masonry wall there with
a long sloping interior is regarded
as suitable and safe for all purposes
intended.

Through to peLamar.

The mail and passengers for De
Lamar now go directly through
from Phoebe, instead of going
around by way of Panaca. This
saves the ten miles of road lying
between Panaca and Bennett Springs,
piece of road which in the wet
season is axle deep in mud. and in
the dry season reyels in dust and
chuck holes. The change was made
by orders from the Postal Depart
ment. 1t practically alters the head
OF the Panaca-De Lamar route, from
Panaca to Phoebe. Bill Perry has
the new route under management
and is again establishing his resi-
dence here. The mail for Panaca
is forwarded promptly on arrival
every afternoon so that the service
to Panaca is not at all impaired by
the change.
