PRESIDENT SIGNS IT
INDIAN WAR PENSION BILL BE-
COMES A LAW.
Pen with Which Roosevelt, Frye and Hend.
erson Signed the Bill Are to Be Sent to
the Old SoIdiers-Wili Be Rewarded
With All haste-An Concerned Are Well
Pleased.

Washington, July 2.-The Indian
War veteran pension bill is now a law.
President Roosevelt has affixed his
signature to the bill and the pen with
which he signed it has been turned over
to Representative Tongue. The bill,
as soon as printed as an act, will be
sent to the commissioner of pensions,
with instructions to use all possible
dispatch in putting the law into effect.
He will be directed to issue the neces-
sary blanks, which will be furnished to
claimants upon application, and will
be ready to receive and pass upon
claims and evidence as submitted. In
view OF the urgency of claims under
this law, Representative Tongue has
urged that all Indian War pensions be
made special. In order to avoid un-
necessary delays, the department eau
tlons claimants to fill out positive
answers to all questions that are en-
bodied in the blanks, and to have all
evidence sworn to before notary pub
lie before being submitted to the COM
missioner. Omissions of this char
acter necessitate the return of papers to
the claimant, and often occasion con-
siderable postponement. Representa-
tive Tongue will forward the pen used
by the president, as we'll as Speaker
Henderson and President Frye, of the
senate, in signing tbs pension bill, to
the Indian War veterans of Oregon.
He has had applications from the Ore
gon Historical Society for this pen, but
holds that it rightfully belongs to the
veterans, and if they see fit to turn it
over to>the Historical Society, he has
no objection.
Senator Mitchell, who introduced the
bill, Senator Foster of Washington,
who reported it, and Representative
Tongue, who has been so active in the
house, and accomplished so much in
getting it through, are very happy that
the bill is finally law. In fact, all
the Western representatives feel that
long fight has been won, and that mer-
itorious services are to be rewarded.

BELIEVED HE HAD SHOT TRACY.
Whatcom Officer Kills Bad Man. but it was
Not the OREGON Convict.


Whatcom, WASH, July Police
man Frank Alvord shot . man through
the pit of the stomach, infiicting q
wound which will prove fatal. The
man gives the name of Godfrey r.
Campbell, and his home as Black River
Falls, Wash. Policeman Alvord, who
shot Campbell, believed at the time
that he was dealing with either Tracy
or Merrill, but the authorities have re-
eeived circulars containing an an
nouncement of the reward offered for
the men, and are positive that the man
shot is not one of the escaped Oregon
convicts.
Policeman Alvord oEerved a gun in
the mans pocket while he was walking
on the street, and as he was desperate
looking, after consulting with Officer
Jessup, he determined upon his arrest.
The man turned into side street, fol-
lowed by Alvord, who requested him to
halt. The stranger replied, "Not by a
ID sight!" whereupon the officer
ordered him to throw up his hands, at
the same time drawing his revlover.
The man attempted to draw his revolv-
er, at the same time grabbing.holdsswith
one hand the officers gun. The officer
fired, the ball striking the man in the
pit of the stomach, passing clear
through. He maintained terrible
fight with the officer. Officer Jessup,
who had come to his brother officers
assistance, and a large number of by
ISLANDERS who were trying to render the
officers aid, were fully five minutes in
subduing the man. A dozen blows from
a polieeman's g club, succeeded in crack
ing the mans skull, but not in loosen
ing his grip en- Officer Alvord's gun.
His hand was finally broken in order to
loosen his grip. The authorities are
confident that the man is a desperate
of some character and wanted by off,

Guilty Of Violating Rules Of War.

! Washington, July 2.-It is an

Advocate General Davis, has completed
his review of the proceedings of the
court martial and the papers are now
in the hands of Secretary Root, who is
30 busy with other matters that he has
bot yet had time to give the case the
attention it deserves.
It has been generally understood that

case, is President Roosevelt. Inas-
much as the case is considered strictly
