Outsiders ard Proprietors of Land
Forbidden to Hunt Without
Written Permission.

Sportsmen from outside towns and
even those from Walla Walla who
are not on the inside will be some
what surprised to learn that nearly
every bit Of desirable shooting ground
along the Walla Walla river and in
the Hudson Bay country has been
leased by Walla Walla parties for pri-
vate shooting grounds. The fact be-
came generally known when a Walla
Walla hunter attempted to do a lit
tie hunting last Sunday on ground
that he had visited often in years
gone bye.
The proprietor met him at the gate
and Informed him the grounds had
been leased by Walla Walla sports
men for the season and written per
mits were required before outside
parties would be allowed to shoot
over the ground.

butcher arrested at the carnival
grounds a week ago on the charge Of
passing counterfeit money, has con
fessed TO Capt. Bell, of the United

about fifteen 1-cent pieces plated with
quicksilver They were taken for

Mistaken ldentity.

Pasco Express: \ striking case Of
facial resemblance produced all sorts
Of uneasiness in one mans mind here
Tuesday; and came near subjecting
him to few hours detention in jail.
On Sunday prisoner escaped from
the WaIla WalIa penitentiary, and
on Tuesday a man was discovered on
PascO streets wearing a face and hay
ing a general appearance that tailed
with photographs and descriptions
sent by the warden to Sheriff Peck.
It took a critical examination to con
vince the officer that he had the
wrong man, and even the suspected
party looked suspicious Of himself
when he saw the photograph.
Ore Of the really nice things the
city council might do would be to
stop the use of PascO streets, side
walks and back yards as a hog pas
ture. Another would be to put in
new cross walks from the n. P. depot.
Both items would be inexpensive, and
help to take the black color out OF
Pasco's optics.

WILL OPEN
GRAVES
Further Investigation In Regard
to Confession Of CanireI and
His Band Of GhOuIS.

Indianapolis, Ind. August B.-There
was another conference between mem
bers OF the city detective force and State
Prosecutor Ruckleshaus over the revela
tions made by Rufus Cantrel in regard 10
murders committed by him and his band
of negro ghouls, but beyond the fact that
a plan of action was discussed no steps
were taken in the proposed investigation.
When Cantrel was brought from the re-
formatory TO testify In the trial OF Hamp-
ton West, at Nobesville. he sent for Mr..
Ruckleshaus and talked with him at the
Jail. He told the prosecutor that he
would unravel the mysteries in several
murders II the state would promise him
immunity and professed to be greatly dis
turbed by an awakened conscience.
The prosecutor took careful notice Of all
that was said by Cantrel and among
other things the negro confessed TO the
Carrie Selvage murder.
According TO his statement at that time
ne choked Miss Selvage TO death in his
own house but in his confession TO Su-
perintendent Byers. Of the Indiana Re-
formatory, made subsequently, he -ad
that Lucius Stout killed the demepted
girl with chloroform
The discrepancy between the statements
is so marked that the prosecutor doubts
the truth OF both, but he feels that IL IS
his duty to proceed with an investigation
for corroborative testimony. which can he
found only by opening the graves In
Mount Jackson cemetery, where Cartrel
says the body of the girl was placed A
number of persons who have relatives
buried in Mount Jackson. Union Chapel
and Ebenezer cemeteries have asked per-
mission OF the detectives to be present
when the graves are opened.
There is reason to believe that Cant-el
and his band murdered Harry Rosengar-
ten, a merchant policeman whose body
was found In an alley a year ago.
Cantrel and his conrederates had PLAN
mel to rob a residence and Rosengartsn
come upon them while they we're in the
act Cantrel says that Garfield Bucknsr
fired the fatal shot, and that Rosengarten
whose pistol was in his hand when found,
did not have a chance TO shoot. The po-
lice say that Cantrel's story agrees with
the known facts regarding the police
mans death.
The police are looking for Buckner Ollie
Saunders and other negroes, who. Can
trel says, were concerned in the murder cf
Rosengarten.

Secretary Of War VIII Surrsn.
dor Portfolio Before Rs Sails.
GOV. TAFT MAY SUCCEED HIM
Unless Need Is imperative the Secretay's
Post Will Remain Vacant TIL After
December 1.

Washington. Aug. 12.-Before Secretary
Root sails for London 10 sit with the
Alaskan commission ne will place his res
ignstion I'm the hands OF President Roose-
welt in order that the president may ap-
point a secretary OF war II II is deemed
necessary during Mr.. Roots absence. IL
Is expected. however, that the resigna-
ton will not be acted upon until after
congress meets. The appointment OF Mr..
Roots successor will depend somewhat
upon the length OF time that Secretary
Root will be engaged upon the Alaskan
boundary commission.
1t has been known for some time that
Secretary Root intended 10 retire, but he
did not wish 10 leave the department un-
I'll the general STAFF bill was in operation
and other matters pertaining to the de-
partment were well under way. II is un-
derstood that the matter OF his successor
has been discussed, and while nothing Of
fetal can be obtained IL is believed that
the position will be rendered TO Gov. Taft.
While Secretary Root is In LonAon he
will remain in communication with the
the genera, staff and other Important az
fairs will be referred to him II the sit
tings OF the Alaskan commission extend
beyond Dec. IL is likely that the secre-
tary's resignation will be accepted and
his successor appointed atthat time. IL the
situation in the war department becomes
such that a secretary is needed 10 take
charge OF affairs one will be appointed
earlier.
II is believed here that there will be
great deal OF delay In consideration OF the
Alaskan boundary case and that the
United States commissioners may be de-
tained In London several months.
Secretary Roots desire TO leave public
life is based largely on personal grounds
His family does not like the life in Wash
ington and the secretary desires also to
return TO his law practice in New York
city. The great questions that were pend
ing in the war department relating main
ly TO the administration OF the islands
acquired from Spain and the establish
ment Of a government in Cuba, have been
disposed of during Secretary Roots ad-
ministration. The reorganization OF the
army under the general staff plan is now
under way and the secretary feels that
he has accomplished the work that he
was called on TO do when he became sec
retary OF war
