Wife Knew About the Affair.

his ree-weeks-old baby, was captured

red and G. L. Houk, all experienced
woodsmen, keeping the trail, while the
others sought to head the fugitives off
by beating the woods ahead AS usual
they started out at daybreak this morn
ing, and at the hour stated Sheriff Cud.
ihee saw Underwood come down a hill,
and the latter, evidently Spying the
officer, dropped into the tall grass on
the tide land at the bottom of the hill,
but gave himself up promptly when
Cudihee came pp to him. He was ap-
parently making his way to Cedar
river, and had about half of his supply
of provisions left when captured. He
was placed in the custody of Sheriff
Roney, of this county, in whose charge
he was brought to this city. He was
taken to a barber shop for shave and
then to the Jail. His first wish was
for glass of beer, which was not graf
flied. He was not fully satisfied with
his quarters, and sent word to Sheriff
Cudihee that he would like cleaner
quarters.
Underwood seemed greatly surprised
when told that his wife protested all
connection with the crime. He says
she helped him to do away with the
baby, but that it was dead before it was
thrown into the water.

PENSIONS FOR MANY
INDIAN WAR VETERAN BILL is
PASSED BY HOUSE.
It Now Goes to the President for His ZAP.
prOvaI and Signature His Influence a
Great Factor in Securing Passage Of the
Measure Oregon Delegation Is More
Than Pleased

Washington, June 18.-The house
has passed the Indian war veteran bill
for which the Oregon delegation has
been struggling SO many years. The
bill is identical with that which passed
the senate on February Is last, except
for an unimportant verbal amendment.
As passed, the bill makes Immediately
applicable the provisions of the Black
hawk pension act. Those who will be
rewarded are the surviving officers and
enlisted men, including marines, mill.
tia and volunteers of the military and
naval service of the United States, who
served for 80 days or more, and were
honorably discharged under the United
States military, state territorial or pro-
visional authorities in the Cayuse war
of 1887, lS4S-49, on the Pacific coast,
the Oregon and Washington Indian
wars from 1851 to 1856, and numerous
other Indian wars. The bill also
makes provision for the widows of such
officers and enlisted men, provided that
such widows have not remarked, and
provided further that where there is no
record of enlistment or muster into the
servi'e of the United States, in any of
the wars mentioned in the act, the re-
cord of pay by the United States shall
be accepted as full and satisfactory
proof of such enlistment and service
and provided, further, that all con-
tracts Heretofore made between the ben
efciaries under this act and pension
attorneys and claim agents are declared
null and void.
The bill will now go back to the
senate, where the amendment of the
house will be concurred in, and the
measure will then go to the president
for his signature. The fact that he has
heretofore indorsed the bill insures his
early approval

Are Away-Ons of Posse Shot.

Vancouver, Wash June l7.-Appar-
emily undisturbed by the presence in
their immediate vicinity of a new army
of pursuers, Tracy and Merrill yester-
day held up another farmer for the ne
.cessaries of life, to-wit: clothes and
provisions, and selecting the vulner-
able spot in the guard line that was
thrown out to head them off, went on
their way, presumably rejoicing. The
feature of the pursuit yesterday was
the shooting of a member of the posse,
by another member, who shot in the
belief that he was going to bring down
one Of the convicts. The fugitives are
now in the tall timber in the neighboT-
hood of Lewis river. Guard Carson is
on his way from Walla Walls with a
fresh set of bloodhounds, and will ar
rive this morning TO join in the chase.

W. N. g., are guarding such farm
houses as Tracy and Merrill are likely
to select for food this morning, and
sheriffs, detectives, posses, citizens and
guards will again hit the trail and start
in full cry on the fresh scent radiated
from the clothes the game left at the
ranch Of Henry Tiede, four miles from

Mrs. e. Harry, living near Mineral

themselves on me from using Doan's
Kidney Pills. First. the quickness
and completeness with which they pro-
duced relief; second the comparative,
lily small amount of the medicine re-
'quired to cause that effect During
the summer and fall of 1897 and win,
ter of 1898 ran down physically and
my back was never free from heavy,
dull pain which made me miserable. I
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Will
IL. Sargent's drug store and they cured
the attack. Any preparation which
acts up to the claims made for it, de-
serves the endorsation of the public
