Promptly at o'clock this morning the
team drivers of nearly a dozen small
firms declined to work and demanded the
union rates of wages These firms are
not located in the heart OF the city, for
the large coal dealers assented to the
scale a month ago. and since that time
they have been doing nothing but secur-

OSCAR BRADSHAW SENTENCED
TO HANG FEBRUARY Is.
William Kellett, His Accomplish, Given
20 Years in the Penitentiary--CaSe
Appealed to Supreme Court.

The trial of Oscar Bradshaw and Will
liam kellett for the murder of Nelson,
farm hand in box car at Pasco last
summer, was ended Monday afternoon,
when Judge Rudkin handed down the
sentence of the court. Young Bradshaw,
who is not yet twenty years of age, re-
ceived his sentence very coolly and sat
unmoved through the arraignment.
Following is story of the murder and
trial:
The evidence in the case developed
the fact that Bradshaw and Kellett in
weighed the Swede into box-car under
the pretence of being brakemen, about
1890 o'clock in the morning, and took a
dollar from him for ride, which they
said he could have in the box-car to
Spokane. In the course of a half hour
they went back to the box-car and Oscar
Bradshaw went into the car with pis-
toll in his hand and commanded the
Swede to hold up his hands. The latter
arose and was instantly shot by Brad
shaw, Kellett remaining on the outside
all the while; Bradshaw then fed, Kel-
lett, however, remaining in Pasco where
he was arrested the next morning while
at work in the round-house. Bradshaw
was apprehended in Walla Walla
county.
The Swede, Nelson, fingered a few
days, when he died at the Walla Walla
hospital, having first made a death-bed
statement, described the men who had
robbed him and the man who had killed
him. The evidence was very convincing
and, in fact, the defendants admitted
the facts in the case substantially as
above stated. Bradshaw claimed, how
ever, that the Swede made an attack ON
him of such a character that he had to
shoot him in order to protect himself.
The court held, however, that mas
much as he came in to rob the Swede,
Nelson, that he could not avail himself
of the plea of self-defense, unless he
had first made known 10 the Swede, |
Nelson, that he had ceased his attempt |
to rob him and had actually carried |
such notice into effect by actually ceas-
ing his attempt TO rob.

COMPLETELY SURPRISED
ON GOLDEN WEDDING
Mr.. and Mrs. William COrnett AbSO-
lutely Surprised BY One Hun
bred Friends.

Tuesday evening December 16, 1902.
was the anniversary of the golden we'd
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. William Cornett.
Fifty years of married life is a long,
long time to live together, but in the
case of these two happy old people the
years have sped by quickly and have
been full of sunshine.
That they will live to enjoy many
more such years seems highly probable.
The party happened in this way. Mr..
and Mrs. Cornet had completed all the
plans to celebrate their golden wedding.
Invitations were already printed and
were just ready to be sent out, when her
daughter Mrs. A. B. Ross was compel
led to start again with her husband for
China, leaving Sunday afternoon.
This was such a disappointment to
the old folks. they became discouraged
and gave up the idea entirely. This,
however, was only the gathering of a
threatening cloud to be blown away,
and reveal again the sunshine of glori-
GUS day. j. d. Cornett decided to get
up surprise party composed of the
most intimate friends of the couple, in
vite his parents over to spend the even
ing and then help carry out the already
incompleted plans. The enemy APP
preached surreptitiously at the appoint
ed hour, capturedt the house, and in
moment pandemonium ruled. DR.. Hay
den led the victorious phalanx, 10,
strong, and when all had gathered with
in the walls delivered, aside from many

Another House Burglarlzed.

John G. Miller's new house on North
Third street was entered Sunday eveL-
ing between the hours of seven and nine
O'Clock and robbed of $40 gold nugget
belonging to Mr.. Miller. and about 500
in cash. The burglar left no clue and
up to the time OF going to press, has not
been apprehended. This savors very
much of the burglary committed some
time ago upon the Starr residence, for
the same tactics were carried out, and
in all probability the same party or
parties are guilty of this theft.
1t is said by the police department
that there are at the present time some
very questionable characters in town,
and their movements are being shad-
owed.

Getting Ready To Build.

The trustees for the Horticultural

5000 and it is the intention of the union
to put up fine building, one that will
be large and roomy and serve as basis
for future operations

The jury found Bradshaw guilty of
murder in the first degree and recon-
mended him to the mercy of the court.
The court, however, under the laws of
Washington, has no discretion where
murder in the first degree is found, but
must sentence to death.
Bradshaw's attorney, W. T. Dovell of
Walla Walla made motion for a new
trial which was argued by him for the
defense and by II. j. Snively for the
state of Washington on Monday at
Pasco before Judge Rudkin. The Judge
over-ruled the motion and sentenced
Bradshaw to be hung by the warden of
the state penitentiary on the 18th day of
February, 1903, between the hours of
six O'Clock in the morning and six
O'Clock in the evening.
Bradshaw's attorney contemplates an
appeal. If he perfects an appeal it will
result in the respite of the execution of
the sentence until the appeal is deter
mined, which will probably not be till
next summer, meanwhile, pending the
appeal, the prisoner, Bradshaw, will
reamin in the custody of the sheriff of
Walla Walla county.
Bradshaw's co-defendant plead guilty
to murder in the second degree, which
plea, after some hesitation, was accepted
by the state. The Judge, upon passing
the sentence upon Kellett, told him
that instead of favoring the state by
confessing to the guilt of murder in the
second degree he was not favoring the
state but had been favored by the state
and that there were no extenuating cir
cumstances. However, the judge gave
him the limit of the law for a sentence,
which is twenty years in the peniten-
tiary, and required him to pay the costs
of the prosecution.
Bradshaw is about twenty years of
age, kellett year or two older.
