ROSCOE THOMAS DROWNED
IN THE WENATCHEE
Sad Fate of a Nell-knOwn YOuno
Man of iakima--The Body
Recovered.

/ Roscoe Thomas, known to everybody
in Yakima as Bob" eldest son of Capt.
and Mrs. j II. Thomas of Yakima CITY.
was drowned last Thursday in the We
natchee river near Mission, and the sad
news reached this city Friday, causing
many regrets, as the young man, hav-
ing been raised here and educated in the
schools of this city, was well known to
nearly every one, and none knew aught
against him. He was just % years OF
age, and was employed by the We
natchee Canal Company as cashier and
book-keeper, Il responsible position in
which none but man of sterling char
acter would be trusted.
While he had only been in the We
natchee country but short time. the
people of that section had learned to
love and respect him. When the news
of the drowning was ma le known every
one in the valley turned out to seek for
the body. The farmers left their hav-
fields and started for the banks Of the
enatchee. Day and night the search
was continued until success crowned
their efforts Sunday afternoon.
The drowning of the unfortunate
young man occurred in the following
manner: He and five other men were
swimming in the Wenatchee river about
s O'Clock in the evening There were
rapids just above them, and some one
suggested going up and getting on log
to ride down over the rapids. This was
agreed upon, and all started down the
the stream astrde of the log in the best
OF spirits. Bob was the last one to lump
off, and when he did he sank immedi-
ately. 1t was then almost dark, and af-
ter he sank nothing more was seen of
him until the body was found Sunday
afternoon eight miles below where it
sank. 1t is supposed that he must have
been seized with cramps which rendered
him powerless to act. w. n. Granger,
brotherin-law of deceased, arrived on
the scene Friday and assisted in the
search for the body.
The body was shipped to this city
Monday night and the funeral occurred
from the Methodist church Tuesday
morning. a large number of friends
accompanied the remains to their last
last resting place in Tahoma cemetery.
Flowers were sent by friends from all
parts of the state, and the grave was
completely hidden by the floral decora-
tons.
The entire community extends heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved family.

BONES OF T. W. RATRBUN
FOUND BY HUNTERS
The Trapper Who So MySteriOusly
Disappeared Last Winter Found
on Little klickitat River.

Patrick O'Fiel and A. Beck while on a
hunting and fishing trip in the region of
the Klickitat river last week came upon
the bones and luggage of Rathhun, the
trapper who was supposed to have been
killed and robbed, or else lost and per-
ished i'm the hills. From the time OF his
mysterious disappearance up till last
Wednesday week ago, no trace Of him
had ever been found. o. Fiel and A.
Beck were down in a deep ravne on the
litt- kickitat river following an in
freqnentcd trail, when they suddenly
stumbled over the effects of the Inflated
trapp"r His clothing was torn into
shreds, the bones OF his body scattered
to the -four winds OF heaven, watch,
pocket knife and hat were found,
some coffee. -four and baking powder.
and 1890 Winchester rifle, much the
worse for wear.
There are many coujectures as to the
cause Of his fate. He was said to have
had considerable money on his person,
but when discovered by the men not
cent could be found among the rubbish.
This fact has caused some to believe
there was foul play. Another SUPPOSE
ton is that in fight with cougar or
mountain lion he was killed and torn to
pieces. This supposition is supported
by some from the fact that an exploded
shell vas found in the barrel of his
Winchester and the knife blade was
open, indicating fight to the death.
Still another probab le cause is, that lust
above where his remains were found
there is Il steep ledge, in trying to sur
mount which he might have slipped and
fell and, breaking his leg and espairing
of aid, shot himself. Whatever the
cause of his death the fact remains a
mystery, but as to whether or not it is
Rathbun, the trapper, there is no doubt,
for his camping outfit and silver watch
have been positively identified. The
men who found the remains have these
in their possession. Only a few of the
bones could be found, and those that
were found showed signs of having been
gnawed upon by wild animals.

Sunnyside Romesteaders Active.

An association has been forming for
some time among homesteaders under

OF the legislature defining the province

quasi-common carriers, and as such are
compelled to furnish all property owners
without distinction, water at reasonable
rates. They propose also to have a way
designated to determine what treason

JAP WEATHERED
THE BIG STORM
Was at Sea in the Big Storm
But Caught Fish and
Is Home Again.

After struggling alone for two days
and a half in the hurricane and heavy
sea, with but little food and very little
fresh water. the lone Jap fisherman
who was thought to have been lost in
the big storm sculled his sampan into
port late yesterday afternoon and dis
charged a big cargo of many kinds of
fish into the baskets of his astonished
countrymen at the Pacific Mail wharf.
The Jap had little to say of his ex-
periences. He was weak and hungry
and could not give a clear account of
his struggle alone against great odds
in the sampan. But when he found that
he could not get back to port he strug-
gled on and finally got to an anchor
age and started fishing. His results
were good and he managed to make
port easily yesterday.

Every day now means nearer APP
proach of cable communication for Ho-
nolulu with the outside world and when
the cable ship Silverton floats the shore
end of the Pacific Gable over the surf,
through the Waikiki sand and into the
cable house on the beach but few
minutes will be required to splice the
shore end with that of the land cable
to the Young Building, and thus place
the Honolulu and San Francisco offices
in shape for direct communication with
each other. The cable for the land end
at Honolulu arrived here on the Zealan-
dia.
Considerable interest was taken yes
terday at the Oceanic wharf when
seventeen big parcels containing
many tons weight of cable came out
of the hold of the steamer Zealandia
and was stored in the Oceanic ware
house
This cable is to be placed in the pipe
that has already been laid to contain
it between Waikiki and the Young
Building, the latter place being where
the cable company's office will be.

A COMMENTED WOMAN.

Aside from form or features,
she has an attractiyeness all her
own. The bloom OH her cheek,
the elasticity in her step, the ring
of her voice, her enjoyment OF
life-all these are magnets which
draw others to her side. Wonder
full and valuable as it is, health is
not so difficult a thing to obtain
as some discouraged ones think.
Most of the troubles of women a.
rise from impure blood, impaired
nutrition, low vitality and gene
raj debility. Modern science fur
nishes the most successful of REM
edies for these conditions, namely
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION.
It is palatable as honey and con-
tains the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
extracted by us from fresh cod
livers, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophosphites
and the Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry. Taken before meals
it improves the appetite, makes
fat, restores vitality, enriches the
blood and cures those weaknesses
peculiar to the sex, which are
the seat of their troubles. 1t is
blessing to Tired Wives, Nursing
Mothers and Girls growing into
womanhood. 1t colours the pale
faces and rounds out the hollow
chests. In word, it nourishes
and develops the entire body, and
brings happy surprises to feeble,
hopeless and discouraged suffer-
ers. DIR. E. j. Royes says: 81
have found it preparation OF
great merit. In a recent case
a patient gained nearly twenty
pounds. in two months treat
ment, in which it was the princi-
pal remedial agent" It is the
typical medicinal success of our
age, for time has proved our
claims are supported by results,
and a remedy which acts in har-
mony with natures own efforts
and processes. No demand has
been made upon it for relief and
cure, that has not met with in
slant response. Effective from
the first dose. You cannot be
disappointed in it." At chemists.

VA 7 ERR RONT
FRENCHMAN AT RAID
OF A HOLD UP
Refused Tow But Later Was Very
Glad TO be Fetched
Into Port.

The French bounty-carrying bark
Brizeux, Jachs, 1876 days from Cardiff,
via Hobart, with a cargo of coal for
Honolulu, gave the tug Fearless lively
chase yesterday morning. The French
man sailed UP towards the anchorage
and the Fearless steamed out to get
her But the bounty-carrier passed the
anchorage under sail and when over
into port.
Captain Olsen told Capt Jachs his
terms but with shrug of his shoulders
the Frenchman is said to have refused
them and said that he would sail into
port without assistance. But in this
effort he did not succeed and with the
afternoon fast waning away Capt. Olsen
made a second run for the Brizeux
This time he found the vessel far off
port but with the captain as submissive
as a lamb and entirely disillusioned as
to "robberies" and hold ups The
skipper willingly accepted the tow and
was brought into port.
The Brizeux, like all the other French
vessels, made the long trip by Wy of
the Cape of Good Hope and Hobart in
ord,e that her mileage would be greater
and her bounty earnings corresponding
ly larger.
She has cargo of coal for the Naval
Station.
