NEGRO BARTENDER IS
SHOT BY EMPLOYER

There was a shooting ARRAY at the
Iriquois club last night and as a re-
suit Charles Wallace is dead and Cor
nelius A. Hughes occupies a cell at
the police station.
The Iriquois club IS a resort for
colored people, situated in the second
story of frame building in the alley
running from Washington to Stevens
between Front and Main ayes, and is
conducted by c. A. Hughes. Hughes
is also a porter on the Great North
ern and employed Wallace to take
charge of the place in his absence.
He came home last night and ac-
cused Wallace of Knocking down"

came more proficient in his profess
sion.
He came back to California and
trained, faithfully. every day, and
learned many new tricks in the bus
mess. Finally. Burns & Warehouse,
the local millionaire horsemen, were
il: need of a lightweight jockey and
gerry was tried as an experiment.
He was hired for song, for they
had heard something Of his former
failures.
With them he improved in his
work each day and showed marked
improvement in the main qualifica-
tions of jockey-"seat" hand"
and Judgment of pace"
Last winter in this city his star
began to ascend and he won race
after race, three and four a day, dur
ing the whole season. All horses.
whether they were "sprinters" or
''raters," were alike to him; he got
the best there was in them out. They
yielded their speed to the magic
of his touch He rode for strangers
and won more races with outside
mounts than with the horses of his
own stable.
Ransch now leads all the winners
in the west, having won $50 races in
the past year. His record so far as
can be learned eNcels that of any
other jockey In America or Europe
since the racing of horses became
the fashionable pastime of the turf,
over $50 years ago. Ransch rides at
100 pounds, is of stock build and
possesses wonderful nerve and COM
mand of his mounts. He will ride in
France for w. X. Vanderbilt next sea-
/ son.

claiming that the cash register had
often been short of the proper amount
of cash.
A row followed, in which Hughes
pulled his revolver and fired, the ball
passing through Wallace's heart.
Hughes was locked up. He claims
to have fired in self defense, after
Wallace had choked him nearly to in
sensibility. The officers say Hughes
reputation has always been consid-
cred fair.
Coroner d. L. Smith was called and
he empaneled jury. which is investi-
eating the affair this afternoon. Wal

REAL ESTATE,

In speaking of the proposal for the
exclusive listing of property by the
members Of the Real Estate associa-
ton, Fred Flint of the executive COM
mittee stated that the plan had many
advantages for the owner. I'm the
first place, If piece of property is
listed with several agents and one of
them succeeds in showing 1t to a
prospective buyer, then the tendency
of all the other agents is to magnify
the defects Of that piece of property
should the prospective buyer happen
across them in his rounds.
"A wrong impression seems to have
gained ground" continued Mr.. Flint,
that the members will be compelled
to list all their property with the
secretary of the association. Only in
cases where the agent is willing to
divide commissions, for instance, on
property that is hard to move will
this be done"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin

this tube is infiamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor

stroyed forever: nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

COURT TO RUN WATER WORKS.
A Receiver Has Been Appointed for a
Public Utility.

Chehalis.-Chehalis now affords the
unusual spectacle of being one city
in the United States where the court
has been called on and has named a
public receiver to take charge OF a
public utility and operate it that the
property rights of the people may not
be endangered.
About II o'clock Friday night Judge
Rice appointed John DObsOn. one of
the pioneer citizens of this valley, as
receiver Of the ChehaIis Water com
pany. The city water supply is
pumped into reservoir on the hill
side east OF town from the Nevaukum
river, about two miles south of the
city. The river flows for a number of
miles through a thickly settled sec
ton. and the water is subject to what
ever pollution would result 1t is not
filtered and the public used it direct
from the mains in this condition.

The city council was called to-
gether and Forney & Ponder, attOr-
neys for the city, began an investiga-
ton of the local aspect of the case
with the result as above stated. Dur
ing the evening parties visited the
plant and found that to make the
shutdown complete Mr.. G.. O. Morgan,
the cOmpany'S agent. had removed
certain parts Of the machinery Of the
pump, so that it could not be run I'M
less they were replaced One Of these
he had brought to town with him, and
