MAN WHO MARRIEs FOR FUN.
Arrested at Coal Creek and Taken
Back to Trinidad.

Under Sheriff Hightower arrived in
Florence from Trinidad Tuesday night
IN search of Ii young man by the name
of John f. Lockard WHO is wanted in
Trinidad on a charge of bigamy.
Mr.. Hightower met Marshal Tabor
whom he used to know when they
were both young boys, and after TAX
ing in the town and not finding their
morning.
At O'Clock yesterday morning the
marshal and the under sheriff secured
livery rig and drove to Coal Greek
where they had received tip the
young man had been seen. Arriving
there they sought the business office
of the coal company and learned that
the young man was working in the
mine. He was brought out and in
troduced to the sheriff who read the
warrant and Lookard was willing to
return with the officer. They left on
No. 10 at noon yesterday.
John f. Locksrd is young man
about % years of age. Some two
years ago he married young girl
some place in Kansas and after living
with her about year skipped out
leaving the young wife with a babe
less than month old. Lockart
landed in Trinidad and shortly after
ward secured employment at Hastings
small mining camp near the former
city. The Young man was not slow
to get acquainted with the women of
the camp and was soon courting one Of
the bellies, charming young girl, of
that village. A short time had
elapsed before the young couple were
married and everything went we'll un-
til few days ago when Mrs. Lockard
No. 2 secured some evidence which
led her to believe that her husband
had been married before When ac.
costed by his wife Lockard denied the
charge. But things began to get
pretty warm, SO much so in fact that
Lookard concluded that he would
prosper better in new location, so
last week he drew what money he
had coming and quietly left for parts
unknown, leaving his young wife,
who is soon to become mother, in
destitute circumstances. The aid of
the officers WAS sought. the young
wife swore out warrant for the lius-
bands arrest and the officers soon
located the man in Coal Creek, where
he was arrested and taken back
to answer Il serious charge.

YAKIMA COUNTY VS.. IRA P. ENGLHHART

The law firm OF Graves 4 Englehart is
enjoying an extensive practice. Over Il
considerable territory, persons charged
with offenses look for acquittal to their
skill in parrying the avenging strokes OF
Justice. However, it is widely known
that while Mr.. Englehart generally, in
the language applied to him by the
Yakima Republic, appears impressive
"" in these cases, Mr.. Graves always
does the real work of argument and ex-
animation. Hence, it was not little
surprising when last Tuesdaya at the rally
Of the North Yakima Republican Ring,
Mr. Englehart 'impressively appeared
without his partner, in his own defense
against the grave charge OF breaking his
promises to his constituents, and betray-
ing their interests, by voting against a
reduction of railroad rates in the legisla-
ture of 1899. Mr.. Englehart commenced
BY reading the accusation against him
a. set forth in the democratic county
platform as follows
"And we condemn the course of a
former representative in the legislature
from this county and present republican
candidate for state senator, in voting
against reduction of railroad rates, in
pursuance of bargain between him
and the railroad lobbyists, and point to
the present discrimination of the rail-
way company in favor of the farmers OF
Walla Walla county and against Iaki-
ma county, as the natural result of leg
islators bartering away to corporate in
terests their powers of legislation"
Mr.. Englehart seemed to realize that
ne could no longer dodge this accusation,
shat at last this charge OF betraying his
constituents had pursued his fleeing
steps to the wall, and that he could flee
no farther. The scene was dral attic.
There was the candidate OF Impressive
appearance" at bay, confronted after
four years OF lodging by this accusation
before him an audience curious to learn
into what hole of sophistry he would
crawl to hide his breach of trust he
seemed to realize the gravity OF his stu
ation, that the proof OF the accusation
was clear and the presumption of his
guilt strong. With anxious, haggard
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-10-14
APPEARS ImPRESsIvELY."

Last week the Yakima Republic Or
gan, not of the Republican party but OF
the North Yakima Republican Ring,
said:
"People who heard Ira p. Englehart's
address at Larson's Theatre Tuesday
night, must have been impressed by the
appearance of the man and the force of
his words" The natural inference from
this statement is that the republican
ring wants Mr. Englehart to be judged
not by his official acts, but by his looks
and his words. Evidently the ring
wants to divert the attention of the vot-
ers away from Mr.. Englehart's legisla-
tive record to the complacent egotism
swelling in his graceful rotundity of per-
son, the regal animal passions enthroned
upon his smooth expanse of face, all I'M
furrowed by thought or care, the hon.
eyed words rolling from his tongue,
skilled in the smooth and oily art to
plausibly promise without thought of
performance. When once before Mr..
Englehart was a candidate for the legis
latuIe, the voters could only Judge him
by his looks and by his words Then
he had no record, but now he has re-
cord,- official record of promises
broken and trusts betrayed. In nearly
every precinct of this county when
candidate before, Mr.. Englehart sol
EMMY promised if elected to the legisa-
ture, to vote and talk and work to pass
law to reduce railroad rates, even il he
had to introduce the bill himself. The
voters judged him by his looks and
words and elected him. He broke all
his solemn promises by failing TO in
troduce any bill to reduce railroad rates,
by failing to vote for such bill and by
actually voting with the other railroad
supporters in the legislature against
such bill. viii the voters now follow
the advice OF the Yakima Republic, and
in admiration of his looks and words,
again send him to the legislature, to
again strew his official course with
broken pledges, or will they Judge him
by his record and wisely leave him, by
his witching looks and honied words, to
shed lustre upon the cooling shades of
private life, all unhonored, unsung and
unlamented.

grateful attack as that made last week
by the editor OF the Republic upon Yak
ima's old pioneer, Jack Splawn, by the
publication Of private letter written
by Mr. Splawn during the last campaign
graciously and generously praising the
good qualities of Nelson Rich, Mr..
Splawn's opponent in the last election
the said publication being for the pur-
pose OF exposing Mr.. Splawn's lack of
early education in the way of spelling
and grammatical construction.
This was uncalled for, because, if Mr..
Robertson believes his candidate, Engle-
hart, as strong as he pretends to think
he is, the excuse of it being necessary.
with view of making a desperate ef-
fort to save his candidate, does not ex-
ist. The attack, therefore, must be
purely malicious. 1t is dastardly, be-
cause unnecessary; it is ungrateful, for,
by the sacrifice of educational advant-
ages and the common comforts OF life.
Jack Splawn and the early pioneers re-
claimed this country, Drawing ALI kinds
of hardships and dangers, including In
dian treachery land by such deprivations
and hardships developed wild and des-
olate waste, unknown 70 the people of
the United States, into one OF the fair
est and most prosperous countries the
sun ever shone upon, so that in after
years a man like Col. Robertson could
drop in here on a palace car and fall into
the soft snap where, without the risk of
the loss of much capital, and without
the expenditure of much labor, he is
rapidly amassing princely fortune.
1t is easy enough for a man who has
had educational advantages thrust upon
him by well-to-do parents, in a settled
community, where going to school is a
necessity, to pick out flaws in the gram
mar and spelling of men like Jack
Splawn, who have been deprived OF
these advantages; but is it becoming Of
a man to do so? Is it not childish in
the extreme, and unworthy of any man?
Jack Splawn is one of the best bust
ness men of this state He was for
many wears most successful manager
OF one of the largest business concerns
in the state. Shall he be cried down be-
cause in his youth he lived in a country
where he could not get AN education?
Or shall he be given all the more credit
for becoming what he is in spite of the
fact that he did not have the early adj
vantages OF Col. Robertson or his candi-
date, Mr.. Englehart? The voters will
give no uncertain answer to this ques-
ton on election day.
Both Robertson and Englehart are en-

The people of Yak ma county will look
long time for better man than Ii. II.
Allen, the democratic nominee for county
treasurer. One OF the pioneers of this
section, a prominent cattle man, and for
years in business in this city, he has
maintained an enviable career and made
a host OF friends. Mr.. Allen is no poll
tician. but is loyal and honorable cit
izen and if elected to that responsible
office, will handle the Affairs with econ
omy and satisfaction to the taxpayers
and credit to himself.

tirely too recent arrivals in this country
to make fun Of men like Jack Splawn,
who have made this country what it is.
1t is noticeable that when Col. Rob-
ertson failed toget the rights-of-way for
the proposed electric railway system, he
turned the job over to Jack Splawn,
whose energy and business standing
quickly turned dismal failure into a
great success, despite the fact that Rob-
ertson now says lie can't spell.
The use that Col. Robertson makes of
the letter in question is also breach of
the confidence which one gentleman
owes to another; but, however, the OBJ
servance of knightly conduct towards
an opponent is not one of Col. Robert
sons strong points.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-10-14

eyes, and grim, desperate lips, he stag
gered beneath the overwhelming weight
of his own legislative record. That the
accusation was true he did not deny.
The proof is too clear. Did not deny
that he voted against the proposed law,
reducing railroad rates; did not deny
that he so voted in pursuance of an
agreement between himself and the rail-
road lobbyists did not deny that our
people are now reaping in extortlonate
railroad rates, the bitter fruits of legis-
lators thus barterng away to corpora
tons their powers of legislation. No
part of this charge that has pursued him
for four years and prevented his being
nominated two years ago, did he deny.
All of his speech, however, was in his
own defense; not word against the
railway lobby that menaces this state !;
not word for his fellow candidates, his
party, his principles, or his country-all
for himself. For nearly an hour he
floundered on sea of words, vainly fish
ing for excuses to mitigate his admitted
offense of voting against reduction of
rates in breach of his solemn ante-elec-
ton promises, and in betrayal of the in
terests of his state. First, he said he
voted against the proposed law, reducing
rates because he did not think it a good
law, but soon bethinking that this is
the very reason the railroad companies
and their attorneys give for opposing
the bill, it dawned on him that that eX-
cuse would not do. Then he said the
reason that he voted against it was that
the bill reduced the rates on eastern
Washington products more than on
those of Yakima county, and that he
didn't work for the interests of the state
at large, but only for Yakima county.
Now that line of reasoning naturally
suggests that in fact he didn't even
work for Yakima county, but only for
North Yakima, and not even for that,
but only for his own ward, and not even
for that but only for himself, l. P.
EHsienarl. lie SAW that Woulun 40 /,
then he said he voted for a railroad COM
mission bill, but remembering that it is
common knowledge that the railway
push" in the legislature OF 1899 got up
the sham railroad commission bill, for
which he voted, especially to humbug
the people, he saw that excuse wouldn't
do. After thus vainly hunting for ex-
cnses. he wisely concluded that there
are none, and wound up by advising his
him, saying that he was proud OF his
record, thus suggesting that he might
be found voting the same way again if
given the opportunity.

A Yakima county paper last week
said: Ira P. Englehart is good fell
low" In this connection, let the voters
remember that all experience and all
morality teach that there is an immeas-
urable difference between the ''good
fellow and the good man, the same
Unreasonable distance that there is be-
tween the good man and the bad man.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-10-14

The Republic will doubtless discover
after the election is over, that the people
OF Yakima county appreciate honesty
and reliability in state senator far
more than the advantages of an early
education. Mr.. Splawn's reputation
among the people of Yakima county
with whom he has lived for thirty years,
is such as to make votes. He does not
rely upon an impressive appearance.

The Office OF county commissioner is
one of vast Importance to the taxpayers.
The board should be composed not only
of representative citizens but men of
business ability and integrity. Such a
man is w. B. Mathews, the nominee on
the democratic ticket from the lower
Yakima country. He has been tried
and found equal to every emergency,

having served term on the board dur
ing the most trying times Yakima coun-

to his shrewd and careful financiering
that warrants became worth something,
