BACKED ALL RIGHT.
Fred Clifford's Startling Success as
an Automobile Tinker.
HIS RIG TRIED TO CLIMB A TREE
He'd Fixed 1t to Make 1t Back and
1t Wouldn't Do Any
thing Else.

After three hours Of waiting yesterday
for an automobiles baking to cease, A.
B. Cults, general passenger agent Of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis road, saw the
"masheen" towed ingloriously down the
road by a dray horse and the promised
automobile ride disappear into thin air.
Fred Clifford owns the big automobile
that rolls over the pavement as easily as
a pneumatic-tired baby cab and squawks
like duck far from water. Mr.. and Mrs.
Clifford were to take Mr.. and Mrs. Cults
for an automobile ride yesterday after
noon. The ride did not materialize. Mr..
and Mrs. Clifford were there, SO were Mr..
and Mrs. Cults. But the automobile de-
clared the program off.
At the appointed hour Mr.. and Mrs.
Cults saw the automobile roll up in
front of their residence, and they went
into the house to prepare for the ride.
Mr.. Clifford said the machine was work
ing finely. Mrs. Clifford and her son
transferred to the rear seat. When Mr..
and Mrs. Cults reappeared at the front
door they beheld with amazement the
automobile across the street backed up
the bank Before the wonder grew less,
mount higher. Mrs. Clifford and the boy
occupied an elevated position, which
brought them in close contact with the
branches of the shade trees. Mr.. Clifford
was down nea ,rthe soil figuring. The
best that could be coaxed out of the ma
chine was a squawk and snort. After
three hours of coaxing and figuring, the
automobile was towed down the street
for further trea tment.
Mr.. Clifford explained that he had
frightened the clutches so as to make
the machine work back more quickly. It
backed 80 rapidly that before he could,
prevent it the automobile was across the
street threatening to climb shade tree.
It's protest against tight clutches is to be
respected. = .. veg

INQUEST SHOWS MURDER
Found in n Creek In the
Mountains.

Special to The Journal
Tacoma, Wash, June 23.-John Yeschik
and his mother, Mrs. Marie Yock,
residents of Renvi1le, Mimi, were pas
sengers on the west-bound Northern Pa
cific train on homeseekers' tickets. At
the summit of the Stampede tunnel
Yeschik got out at a stop and walked
ahead of the train to see the scenery.
When the train started he could not get
on, and two days later his dead body was
found lying face downward In a small
creek
There were deep knife gashes under his
arm pits and on his elbow. His shoes
and socks and hat had been removed and
cannot be found. The inquest reveals
murder and there is much mystery in the
case. The mother proceeded on the train
to Portland.

- GRAND JURY To MORROW -
A Big Batch OF Municipal Indict-
ments Is Expacted. -. .

Much interest attaches to the coming ses-
sion OF the grand jury. The opinion is cur
rent that a bumper crop Of indictments will
be harvested some day this week. When the
jury adjourned last week it had received
much evidence duplicating others than In
spector King and Mayor Ames. Special As
sistant County Attorney M. d. Purdy has
been busy ever since preparing Indictments
and it cannot he far out of the way to place
the number at full score.
In most cases the witnesses have been ex-
amined and all that remains is for the grand
jury to take a formal vote and for. Hovey c.
Clarke to attach his signature.
In addition TO the various cases already
looked into there ara two others needing at
tention, those Of George A. Harvey and Car
RE Emerson. At least two indictments may
be returned against Harvey, one for perjury
and one for violation of the statute pro-
hibiting police officers from receiving emolu-
ments for performing their duty.
Carrie Emerson may be accused Of aiding
a fugitive to escape, but should the evidence
be insufficient she can be prosecuted for
keeping house of illfame. This will create
CONSERVATION in the red light district and
may make it easier to secure certain evil
dence.

CHAMBER RULES, INDICATED

Judge Elliott Decides Case lnEoiv-
ing Membership Transfer.
Saturday Judge Elliott handed down
decision in the suit of McCaull-W ebster
Grain company against the Chamber OF
Commerce and other defendants, wherein
they sought to compel the chamber to
transfer certificate Of membership Is
sued in 1898 to o. D. Tinney and by him
assigned to ]. l.. McCaull for the use Of
the McCaull-Webster Grain company. At
the time the application for transfer was
made, Tinney was indebted to other mem
bers and they objected to the transfer I'M
til this Indebtedness was paid. The board
of directors Of the Chamber sustained the
objections and denied the application and
thereupon suit was brought to compel
transfer on the books Of the chamber.
The court sustains the rules and action
of the chamber and denies to plaintiff any
relief. The decision, taken in connec-
ton with the decision Of the supreme
court handed down on last Friday, would
seem to leave no question as to the power
Of the chamber to enforce it's rules for
the government of it's members.

Washington, June 23.-Contrary to ex-
pectations the Morris timber bill was sent
to conference by the senate when it was
brought up to-day. Senator Quarles asked
for conference because of his objection
