WEBSTER MURDER CASE.
Question of the Identifying of the Ac-
cased BY His Dying Victim
in the Gdrk.

SPOKANE, WASH, Sept. 22.-The de-
tense in the Webster murder trial tripped
its hand to-day for the first time. Web
ster is on trial for the murder of Mrs.
Aspland, near Cheney. He stopped on
that night at the home of Aspland. Dur
Ing the night he went to the bedside of
the woman ana made improper sugges-
tions. She ordered him out of the room.
Later he went outside, and she Locked the
door against him. He called for his
Clothes and while Mis-. Aspland was pass
ing them out over the top of the window
she was shot The defense will claim that
the killing was done by a mysterious per-
son named Mullan, and will seek to prove
their contention in part with the dying
statement OF the murdered woman.
In that statement Mrs. As pland asserted
that she was shot by Webster, but the de-
-ense will claim that she could not know
who shot her, as there was light in the
room. 1t Is impossible, they say, to iden-
tify a person from lighted room when
SUCH person is outside in the darkness
The dying statement was introduced to-
day and created a sensation. In it Mrs.
Aspland was asked:
WAS there anybody with George Web
ster when he fired the shot?'
She replied: There was another fel-
low outside with him. l don't know his
name. He came out from Cheney. He
came after dark"

WAS THE BONNER PARTYS GUIDE
Adventures of old BaptiSte 7rauvieo,
Now a H0p-Picker in Sonoma
Fields.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Sept. 22.-An his
torical character left Santa Rosa to-day
for his home IN TomaIes.. Baptiste
Trauvieo came month ago to pick hops
for Supervisor Hall. He is the little old
chap who is mentioned in pioneer history
as the survivor of the famous Donner
party, that was penned up in the Sierra
Nevada IN the terrible winter of 1S45. 46.
Baptiste, as every body calls INN, is
about 81 years old, but he looks youneer,
for his eyes are as bright and his move
ments as brisk as many men of 40. Every
year he comes here in August to gather
hops.
Baptiste never gets tired telling of the
experiences OF the Donner party. He was
only 20 years Of age when he joined the
party al Fort Bridger in the fall of 1915
He was good frOntiersman, and George
DOnner engaged him to drive the stock
and to act as guide. He remained with
them and when the Donners became sep.
arated from The Murphys and others of
the party who pushed further on, Bap-
tiste became very i'm portant parsonage,
for upon him devoIved the hard task ior
many weary days and nights of cooking,
attending 10 the sick and keeping up the
fires In their prison OF snow.
Tears come into the old mans eyes
when he tells about the heroism Of Mrs
Donner, who preferred to die with her
husband rather than desert him for a mo-
ment.
Baptiste and the party were finally res
cued and sent to Suffers Fort. He make
his home in Tomales.

TEAM RECORD DOWN TO 2:09.
John R. Gentry and Robert y, htched
Together, Knock Fraction 0f
the Marx.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept. 22.-Ihe
famous PAGERS John R. Gentry and Robert
J, hitched together, this afternoon lowered
the worlds double team record for mile
to 2:O9, on the track of the Belmont Driv-
ing Clun. The quarters were 0:33, i:0414,
1877, 2:09. The previous record was
2:O9M, held by Mrs. W. Z. ID. Stokes
Miss Rita and Josie B.
With the exception of light breeze
the weather conditions were good for the
trial. The track itself was also in good
condition, although it is rated two sec
onds slow by expert turimen. As pre-
llminary the two PAGERS were given a
warming up In sulkies. During this pre-
liminary work Gentry was sent mile in
2:14.
1t was 4:30 O'clock when the 2500
people present greeted the famous pair as
they came up the stretch from the pad
dock. Robert had the pole. They were
hitched 10 pneumatic tired wagon
which weighed just sixty-one pounds
The rens were held by L. r. Bovine, who
tipp the scales at 155 pounds.
Bovine took the turf champions twice
around the mile track for a warming-up,
and then started for the wire. AS the
team came down the stretch toward the
wire Gentry, which was the near horse,
broke and they were taken back TO the
three-quarter post and again started.
AS they marched to the wire a second
time Driver Bovine gave the nod to
Starter j. Marshall ard they were off.
When the watches recorded 80 seconds for
the tlrst quarter the crowd almost lost
hope OF the team lowering the record.
They were going beautifully, however,
and the next quarter proved to be the
fastest OF the four This was made in
0;31H, or l:o414 for the halfmie. AS they
passed the hail mile post Gentry's near
front kneeboot came down, and every
time he stepped ne would hoist his leg in
an effort 10 free himself OF it, Bovine had
the pair we'll N hand and the three
quarters was made in 1871
AS they came down the stretch the pair
for some distance kept nearly in step, and
they were pacing beautifully as they
passed under the wire There had not
been a misstep during the whole mile.
When the official time, 2:09, was posted
the cheering crowd swarmed over the
track and gathered about the handsome
PAGERS. Gentry's leg was slightly cut
where the loose boot had rubbed it.
Mr.. Bovine, after the trial, said the
team would have made the mile in 2:071%
or better had not Gentry's boot b. come
loosened.
