THE TRAIL IS l.oST AGAIN
SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS HANG
ING AROUND LA CENTER.
Believed That They Are Trying to
Help Tracy and Merrill Out Of
the Country.

Vancouver, Wash, June 22.-Eight
members of Sheriff Marsh's posse
who left here for La Center to resume
the chase for the escaped convicts,
Tracy and Merrill, returned today.
The men report that Guard Carson's
ploodhounds, after some little time,
struck the trail of the outlaws yester-
day afternoon, near the point where
they were seen by man named Dun
lap, two miles east of La Center yes
terday afternoon. The trail led
through thick underbrush, down the
east bank of Lewis river. The dogs
followed the scent for a mile or more
and then lost it, since when all trace
of the convicts was lost.
Late last night majority of the
pursuers returned to La Center, after
posting guards along both banks of
Lewis river wherever boats were
known to be moored.
There are three suspicious charact-
ers hanging around La Center, who,
Guard Carson says, are eX-convicts.
They have appeared there at differ
ent times during the past week, and
their suspicious actions attracted the
attention of officers, who are keeping

of them, yesterday, after spending
several hours on horseback, in the
brush in the vicinity of where Tracy.
and Merrill were last seen, started to
leave La Center in a boat. He was
forced to return at the point of a gun
by Ferrell, brother of one of the mur-
dered penitentiary guards.
The men are suspected of trying to
assist Tracy and Merrill to escape
and they have been ordered to leave
the country.
Dunlap. who saw the convicts yes
terday, says he was close enough to
have killed the outlaws, and, indeed,
had his gun to his shoulder for that
purpose once, when his wife inter-
fered.
Sheriff Marsh, accompanied by
Guard Carson and the dogs and four
Vancouver men. are now guarding
the east side of Lewis river, while
Sheriff Huntington of Cowlitz county
and posse are keeping vigilant watch
on the west side of the river.

GOVERNMENT LAND MUST NOT
BE ENCLOSED.
DATE FIXED FOR REMOVAL
Interior Department. Decides Against
Big Cattle Companies of
the Southwest.

Washington, June 22.-Under an or
der of the interior department the
Cass Land & Cattle company of New
Mexico must commence the removal
of fences inclosing about 100000
acres Of public land after July 1. An
examination of the lands fenced in
by this company was made a year
ago and the fences ordered removed.
The company made an appeal to the
department and the president, and Sc
cured extensions from time to time,
but when the last delay was granted
it was told that the concession could
not extend beyond the close of the
present fiscal year.
The company joined with other
large cattle interests of the west in
attempting to secure land-leasing
extension during the present session
of congress which would permit the
retention of fences, but this effort
failed.
If the company does not commence
the removal of the fences the inter-
ior department will call upon the de-
partment of justice to proceed through
the courts to have the fences remov-
ed. The department will also take
steps to cause a general removal of
fences unlawfully inclosing the pub
lie lands in the west
Regarding Titles.
Senator Clark of Montana has pro-
posed an amendment to the general
deficiency bill provided that when the
patented lands to which legal title
was otherwise acquired have been re-
linquished to the United tSates, and
patents cannot for any reason be is
sued for lands selected in lieu thereof,
the lands SO relinquished shall be re-
conveyed to the persons relinquishing
them by patent, and such re-convey-
ance shall not vest in such person any
other or better title than was so re-
linquished by him to the goernment.

will be devoted to odds and ends Of
Promote His Candidacy.
Memphis, Tenn, June 22.-In re-
sponse to an invitation from promi-
nent Memphis gentlemen, members
of a club formed to promote the can
didacy of Richard Olney of Massa-
chusetts for the presidency, urging
him to deliver an address here, Mr.
Olney has sent letter in which he
says:
''Not being a candidate for the pres
idency, cannot, of couse, encourage
the formation of the proposed club.
For the same reason and because my
appearance at Memphis in answer to
your invitation would inevitably be
misconstrued into a desire to be a
candidate in spite of all disclaimers,
I must ask to- be excused from de-
livering the address in question"

ton is accused of encouraging poor
workmanship.
Reports Untrue.


An examination of the reports on
coal production compiled by the Unit
ed States government discloses that
the allegations of the railroad pres
idents are misleading and untrue, as
the following figures will demonstrate.
From 1890 to 1900, inclusive, the
mines were in active operation an
average of 1872 days per year and for
each person employed there were pro-
duced 363.58 tons of coal per year or
for each day the mines were in opera
tion ZIG tens were produced per en-
ploye; while, in the year 1901, against
which the operators SO bitterly COM
plain, the mines were in operation
194k days and there were produced
475.45 tons for each person employed
or for each day the mines were in
operation 2.36 tons were produced per
employe, thus showing conclusively
that instead of deterioration there
was decided improvement in the
productive capacity of the men after
they became thoroughly organized"

MANY SHEEP KILLED.
Pile Up in Stampede and Are
Trampled to Death.

Kendall, June 22.-Sheep shearing
is under full headway at all the
ranches in this vicinity. At the
Stephens ranches and Mallory ranch
100000 feeces will be taken. At the
latter ranch 600 sheep were killed
few days ago in a stampede. A band
OF 5000 became frightened and started
over steep hill into a narrow coulee.
They became ''piled up and the re-
suit was that 600 were trampled to
death. AS soon as the disaster was
reported gang of shearers were set
at work. Nearly all the carcasses
were clipped before the conditions
were such as to render work impossi-

PEST HOUSE CASE: DECIDED
ALhsscQUNTIEs INTERESTED IN
CASCADE CASE.
Judge Leslie Declares That a City
Cannot Be Made to Care
for Patients.

Great Falls, June 2O.-The question
as to who should take care Of contag-
lous diseases when found in the city
limits, as decided by Judge Leslie of
the Cascade county district court, is
cne which interests every city and
county in the state, it having never
before been passed upon by any court
in the state. The same dispute has
Clarke, and other counties during the
past three years, and the authorities
both of Helena and Butte have been
particularly concerned.
The commissioners of Cascade
county took the matter up some time
ago and. were advised by the county
attorney that under the law the city
should take care. of such cases as
were found within the city limits, the
procedure previously having been that
the county should take care of all the
cases, except that during the first
smallpox scare three years ago, the
city council met with the commits
sioners and assumed part of the ex-
psnse. the city's share amounting to
about $4,000.
Since that time, however, the city
has refused to pay any part of the ex-
pense, and the suit was in the nature
of a general test Before instituting
the suit, Helena and Butte were Wis
tied by the board of county commits
sioners for Cascade county, and the
fact that the city authorities of those
cities were putting up partially for
the expenses, convinced the commits
sioners still more that they were
right in their contention. The suit
here was an agreed one, the county
refusing to take the case of one Wat
son and the city mandamusing the
county and the latter entering de-
on an agreed statement of
facts.

Portland's Bio Blaze.

Portland, Ore, June ga fire
which started shortly before midnight
last night in the Phoenix Iron Works,
formerly the Wolff & Zwicker plant,
on East Madison and East Water
streets; burned for four hours and de-
stroyed six blocks of buildings valued
at 100000. The insurance amounted
to about 100000.
It was long after daylight before
the fire burned itself out and several
engines remained on the scent all day
today to prevent the fire. from spring
ing up again.

WyETH WAS The WINNER
THE BEST HORSE LANDED THE
CHICAGO DERBY.
No Rough Riding in contest-East-
ern Horses a Disap.
pointment.

Chicago, June 22.-Coming with
sweeping stride through the stretch,
the game colt Wyeth won for John A.
Drake his first Derby and upheld the
traditions of the race by the over
throw OF the favorites, and by the
western horses beating the best that
could be sent from the east There is
no room for argument about the best
horse winning. The race was free
from rough riding or anything in the
nature of foul, was cleanly run and
truly won and Wyeth was the best of
the twelve 3-year-old colts that lined
up at the barrier today before Starter
Dwyer. Jockey Lucien Lyme rode a
sensible race on Mr.. brakes colt.
Heno, the heavily played eastern colt,
went to the post the favorite at 21h
to 1. but failed to finish inside the
money. though it was not altogether
his fault He ran gamely and fast.
1t looked as though Jockey Bullman
made-a mistake by using Heno so
much in the early part of the race.
For furlong after furlong he fought
for the lead with Barney Schriber's
Otis and they sat pace which, in
the slow and dead track, told on both
of them at the supreme moment of
the race, the struggle to the home
stretch.
Singleton, on Otis. was censured
by manv good judges of racing for
using what appeared to be singularly
poor judgment in taking to the front
a colt carrying 127 pounds and try
ing to tip such large and high class
field It is only fair to presume. how
ever. that Schriber's jockey rode ac-
cording . orders given him.
Pentecost and Arsenal ran disap-
pointing race. Neither ever had a
position sufficiently near the front to
be regarded as serious contender,
and visitors from the east who had
witnessed their best races on the
tracks around New York declared that
the unsatisfactory performances Of
these two colts would have to be at
tributed to their unusually long and
trying railroad journey on the eve
Of such an important contest. AS
Arsenal and Pentecost were delayed
nine hours in making the trip from
New York to Chicago, turfmen believe
that the reason advanced for their
poor showing is not without founda-
tion
Perhaps the greatest disappoint-
ment in the races to those who arriv-
ed at the last moment to pin their
faith to western horse was the race
run by Bellies Commoner. He failed
10 finish within the first three.
The real surprises Of the race were
Lucien Appleby and Alladin. who fin
shed second and third respectively.
aucien Appleby would have been con-
ceded good chance had the track
been heavy, but when the dust was
seen flying as the horses went to the
post for the first race on the card,
those who had placed their faith in
him in the future books gave up their
bets for as good as lost.

fiOyan News.

GOvAN, November ia lunch box
party was given at the new school house
last Friday evening for the object of rails
ing money to help furnish the building.
The party was begun by music, which was
furnished by the Colston band. Next was
a play, acted by Misses Gussie, Emma, and
Daisye Kennedy, Mrs. Lucy Lancaster,
Messrs. Dude Free and Jack Hutto. Each
acted his or her part splendidly. After
the play the beautiful boxes were auc-
toned off by Prof. Breeland. The box
given by Miss Eula Jones, an attractive
visitor of Mrs. G. F. Rizer, sold for five
dollars and fifteen cents, which was the
highest sale. The amount realized was
twenty dollars and eighty cents. When
the boxes were disposed of the hall was
given up to the young folks. There was
large crowd present, among which We're
many visitors. We trust that everybody
had very pleasant time.
Prof. Breeland and Miss Emma Ken
nedy went to Bamberg last Friday
morning, and when the couple returned
that afternoon our little village was sur,
prised to learn that Prof. and Mrs. Rrce'
land had arrived. The bride and groom
claim that they did not decide to marry
on that day until after leaving home Fri

daughter o: Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A. Kennedy
The groom is T. very refined gentleman

Bambers Graded School.

The second school month of the pres.
ent session has closed and the teachers
have gotten their grades we'll in hand
While they have been working under
great disadvantages on account of the un-
expected large enrolment, yet the work
has been up to the required standard.
Every year the teachers have looked
forward to occupying new building
and as the numbers increase they think
surely tie time can't be far off.
AS they read of the fine buildings going
up at other places they are filled with
envy. At Yorkville with one third less
enrolment $4,000 house is nearing
completion; it will have large audi
torium with electric lights. At Bennetts'
vile with an enrolment equal to that
here a $4,000 school house will soon be
ready. They think of their own cramped
and miserable quarters, and see the chill.
dren playing in the dusty public road
(they have no other ground) and sigh for
what might be. But this only fires them
with determination to do for the chill
dren that which they can do with all their
power.
The honor roll is as follows:
Finth grade-Willie Cauthen.
Seventh grade-Eula Rowell.
Sixth grade-Henry Stokes, Annie
Laurie Rice.
Fifth grade-Bessie Armstrong (2),
Harold Mouzon Cs), Adrine Padgett ~,
Alfred Ray (2), Lucille Lightsey, Elise
