CITY Public School-whO is there
among us that haven't lost their

notwithstanding these things we
are indeed glad to mark the spirit
which characterized the conference
meeting of the school and city

seemed to be one mind and par
pose and that was uniting and ad,
vancing the school interests of the
city with all the expediency posi-

talks were made, indorsing the

CALCULATIONS upon the fattering
prospects of the City School. Ey-
erybody favored the higher grades,

that two fine schools should flour
ish in Union City. The interests
of the schools will be taken uE
by united and harmonious etfort

progress of educational institutions
in Union City.

Tried the Tracy Act


1t is we'll that Tracy met his
death before reaching Pullman, for
had he ever entered the Artesian
city the reception in waiting for him
would not have been at all to his
liking, for Pullmanites are not made
Of the stuff that yields immediate
obedience to the command of every
would-be desperate. Butitremained
for F. A. Mcqueen, of Driver &
Stuffeps drug store, to give prac-
teal demonstration of what would
have happened had Tracy come to
Pullman.
1t was last Wednesday evening
at about $3.50 o'clock as Mr.. Nc
Queen was coming down town from
his residence on Mechanics hill.
As the mixer of pills reached the
corner near the Moss house, now oc-
cupied by Marshal Muir, he met
pedestrian, and supposing it to be
some professor of dead or modern
languages, or some other dignitary
from the mansions on the hill, he
accosted him with CHEEKY good
evening, SIR The answer was a
command to "hold up your hands.
Mr.. Mcqueen replied that he didn't
think he had to, when the stranger
told him that he most certainly
would have to for him, and then
proceeded to launch out rights and
lefts, apparently trying to reach the
druggists solar plexus. But Mr..
Mcqueen had read all about such
things in the reports of the Jeffries-
F1tzsimmons scrap in the Police
Gazette or Seattle Times, and he
neatly ducked and parried, waiting
tor an opening to land knock out.
The highwayman then forced the
hghting, closing in on Mcqueen,
and gripping his right arm at the
wrist, but leaving a good opening
tor Macs left, which was put good
and hard on the highwayman's
chin. The highwayman went down
and out, but Mac, to make sure of
his victory, and to keep his man
down the full ten seconds. beat a
lively tattoo upon his countenance
with his heels, punched in few
ribs, and then, with a parting in
junction to lay there, you blunder

came on down street.
The nightwatchman at once
started out to find the bold high
wayman, but the latter proved more
adept at getting away than at get
ting other peoples money, for he
had disappeared from public view,
and although thorough search was
made, no sign of him was found.
He was described as wearing full
black beard, and is probably now
wearing numerous contusions and
sore spots as result of his mix-up
with Pull1nanite.

followed the seeding of alfalfa and
bronze grass. 1t is not too much to
prophesy that before many years
the area devoted to grasses for pas
ture and hay will be so great as to
materially desrease the wheat yield,
while the profits resulting from a
change to stock farming will be
much greater.

ness, in fact, many of them have
come from wheat producing states
of the East and are glad to escape
from it.
A great many are seeking stock
country and they know full we'll
that before stock there must be
grass. Naturally these inquiries
are legitimate for they come from
men wishing to be informed on a
matter which vitally affects their in
terests. The best argument for the
statement that both Eastern Oregon
and Washington is a natural grass
growing region is the historically
true statement that it was never
anything else until interferred with
by the plow. Any old settler will
tell tales by the hour of the days
when the entire surface of these roll
ing hills was waving carpet of the
finest of grasses which at the time
OF his coming supported thousands
of Indian ponies and other wild
animals. Even pet, where imported,
the soil is completely occupied by
different forage plants, known under
the common name of bunch grasses.
The great number and variety of
these native grasses is the wonder
of every botanist who has made a
study of them. Grasses are found
here that are unknown elsewhere.
This adaptability to the conditions
OF soil and climate, as we'll as their
complete occupation of the soil made
this the most valuable grazing
country in the West. Now, it is a
safe and logical argument to say
that where grass once grew so lux
uriantly it can do so again. There
is something in these volcanic soils
that grass roots like, that explains
why wheat, which is simply a big,
course grass, does so we'll. This
soil is comparatively new yet and
unimpoverished. If left for few
years unplowed, without doubt it
would be taken possession of COM
pletely by a mixture of indigenous
sbecies.
The tame grasses have already
been tested sufficiently to prove
their adaptability. 1t is strange
how some of the old fashioned sorts
like timothy, blue grass, white
clover and red top are pushing their
way and occupying the ground. A
few years ago the roadsides were
covered with ANIMALS which replaced
those destroyed by the close crop
ping of stock. Now in many places
the timothy has occupied the low
lands entirely, and whenever the
seed has been scattered, notably
near the towns, the blue grass is
no less persistent.
White clover is spreading every
where. Prof. Henry, of Wisconsin
who recently visited the Palouse,
could not refrain from remarking on
its luxuriant habit of growth.
These forage plants are pushing
their way without assistance, and
give all inkling as to what might
result if their cultivation was under
taken in a systematic manner.
lam frruly convinced that equally
good results would follow the culti-
vation of other clovers and grasses
if undertaken by the general farmer.
1t is one of the hopeful signs that
many land owners are seeding down
small tracts to the tested grasses
ond are closely following the exper-
ience of others.
In further article l will speak
of the success which has already

WITH AK And CLUB
Judge Lewis and Wife, Aged Resi-
dents Of Almira, Wash,
Beaten to Death.
Double Murder Planned and Exc
cuted for the Money in Pos
session Of the Judge.

Special to The Journal. /:
Butte, Mont. Dec 22.-Advices received
here last night from Almira. Wash, tell
of the worst tragedy in the west Of re-
cent years. Judge w. A. Lewis, a pioneer
rs years old, and his aged wife were muir
dered in cold blood by unknown robbers,
who, after a struggle, Drained the old
wife by beating her. to death with a.
club. - -t7A. n
The double murder was as coldly plan
ned as it could possibly be and the object
was doubtless robbery as the Judge was,
worth $4,000 or $4,000 and was supposed
to have money in a safe. The theory that.
the terrible crime was committed by some
visitor who came in the guise of doing
business, as the safe was found open and
had evidently been unlocked by Mrs.
Lewis, as she alone was able to turn the
tumblers. =. - y
The crime was discovered by O. J. Will
liams, a tenant of the Judge, who found
the body yesterday morring. Heaped up.
in the corral was a little mound covered
with snow, but Williams paid no attention.
to it. Yesterday morning he went to the
house on business, but found the blinds
all down. Filming q. bio-en pare IT
l,lass he pushed the blil.u as;lc and vas
Mortified to see the body of Judge Lewis
lying face down with his head beaten In
ana the 1OOf DcSnlCtlI co WITH DlOOu.
He rushed to town and gave the alarm
and & party went to the ranch. \ They
found all the doors locked and blinds
pinned tightly down. Breaking into the
place they saw the body of the dead
judge. and evidences Of fearful struggle.
The table was upset and the rear Of the
whole place had been ransacked. Even
the bed was searched:
The job was evidently planned with the
utmost care, for the back door had been
barricaded by table and two chairs were
piled against it. Lying on the floor was
a bloody ak. The judge had been pound
ed to death with the blunt side Of it.
Evidently after completing the search
the robbers went out the front door,
locked it behind them and disappeared.
Before leaving, however. the robbers
went to the corral where Mrs. Lewis had
been milking the COWS and waylaid her
with a club. There was evidence of a
fearful struggle, but at last the poor old
woman was beaten lifeless and her body
buried under heap of hay and snow in
the center of the corral. Her body
formed the little mound which Williams
saw.
Judge Williams was a pioneer of Big
Bend and well known. He was formerly
probate judge.
