has shown to advantage in his recent
bouts in this section, will be seen to-
night in a go with Jimmy Kelly, the
New York lightweight. The two are
scheduled to engage in a ten-round
bout under the auspices of the Cen

FARMERS MAKING COMPLIANT
County Commissioner and Surveyor
Are Making Investigations in
Eureka Flat Section.

County Commissioner John n. Nc
Cav and County Surveyor Lewis w
Loehr are on Eureka flat this week
looking over certain county roads in
that section. For some time COM
plants have been coming into the
board of county commissioners that
many of the county roads leading from
Walla Walla to Snake river were
fenced up and numerous farmers were
being left without any means of get
ting to county road. Many of the
roads in question were established
years ago when the country between
here and Snake river was sparsely
settled. At that time the land was
owned by the government, and was
open for settlement. Gradually the
land has been taken up and after the
lOcatOrs had proven up on their claims
they closed up the thOrOughfares. In
many places the farmers are now COM
PEELED to travel 10 and Is miles to
reach a point where they can ship their
grain. In addition to the fencing of
the county roads in many instances
they have been changed from the orig
inal survey. The sheep men are also
said to have closed up many of the
main thoroughfares, by throwing all
their land into one big range.
The controversy over the Kent road,
which had been under consideration
by the commissioners for some time,
is now in fair way of being settled.
The board has selected an arbitrator
and Obadiah Osborn, who made OBJ
jections to. the location of the road
as surveyed. has selected one The
two will name a third members next
week and they will make an investiga-
ton of the matter and submit their
findings to the board, which will meet
next Monday.

Mrs. Rhodes Tells a Story
of Hard Luck.
SUDDENLY FALLS IN STREET
Claims That She Was Brought to
man to Lead a Life of Shome.

A woman, giving her name as Mrs.
Bessie Rhodes, was picked up at the
corner of Colville and Cherry streets,
yesterday, where she had fallen as
result of heart trouble. She was TAX
en- to st. Mary's hospital, where she
is now under the care Of DR.. H. r.
Keylor. The woman has been in poor
health sometime and being without
work and almost pennilessx she became
unconscious while crossing the street
and dropped to the sidewalk. She tells
story Of hard luck and when inter-
viewed by representative of the
Statesman this morning she related
the following:
Il came to Walla Walla about two
months ago from Boise City, where l
had resided for several years. While
living there 1 married a man named
Rhodes who proved to be worthless
character and after we had lived to-
gether a short time he began abusing
me. He would not work and refused
TO support me. About three months
ago he was arrested and convicted Of
the crime of burglary, then 1 left him.
Shortly after this l met Madame Patti,
a fortune teller, who seemed to take a
great deal Of interest in my case. She
proposed to me that 1 accompany her
to Walla Walla, where she said we
could both make a good living. AS l
had no money the woman offered to
pay my railroad fare. I consented and
we arrived here two months ago. We
took rooms in the Central lodging
house. 1t was then that l discovered
the object of the womans apparent in
terest in my behalf She said that
there was a great deal Of money to be
made in Walla Walla if 1 would assist
her. She said she would go on with
her fortune telling and that 1 should
become an inmate Of one of the
houses of i'll fame on Rose street.
This I absolutely refused to do, when
she abused me in a shameful manner.
Having no money and no place to go
to, 1 remained with the woman until
could secure a position. Several times
she brought men to the room and
tried to induce me to go to saloons
with them. l finally secured situa-
| ton in the home Of Mrs. Augustavo,
| residing few miles east of the city.
l remained there until Thanksgiving
| day when Mrs. Augustavo informed
me that she could not keep me any
longer. Since then 1 have been seek
| ing work but have been unable to Sc
cure place. Yesterday 1 walked the
streets in quest of work and suddenly
became sick and fell in the street"
The fortune teller when questioned
replied that there was no truth in the
statement that she had endeavored to
| induce the woman to lead a life of
shame. Il met Mrs. Rhodes in Boise
City," said the woman, and as a
kindness on my part l offered to bring
her to Walla Walla with me, if she
| would leave her husband. She remain
ed with me until she became dissatis-
fed and 1 assisted her in securing a
situation. The woman is not sick at
all, but is only pining for her worth
! less husband.
| Mrs. Augustavo says that the young
| woman conducted herself in proper
manner while keeping house for her,
| but she was SO eccentric that she
could not keep her, and she had to
discharge her.

GLENDALE TEMPERANCE CLAUSE
An Interesting Question Raised in an
 Ejectment Proceeding.

The case of G. W. Kretzinger against Robert P. W3ggoner was tried in dis trict court yesterday. or the trial of the case was begun. This is an eject ment proceeding growing out of vi olatioa of the so-Called temperance clause in deeds originally conveying property in that colony.
 The plaintiff in the case. the former general counsel Of the Santa Fe Pacific and the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phce- nix railroad, is dead. but the suit is carried on in his name by residents of Glendale interested in preserving the integrity of the temperance clause.
 It is contended that the defendant. contrary to his agreement with the col ony in accepting the deed to the prop er;y. has allowed it to be used as a place where liquor is sold.
 Quite early in the hearing yesterday the attorneys for the defense raised the point that the suit had not been be- gun by the proper party; that the only person or corporation suffering from

HIS HEIR REJECTED.
Relatives Contest the Request, but in
 Vain.

Notwithstanding the fact that pretty Miss Frieda von Schuckmann refused to wed Herman O. Heinrich. he assign ed to her a policy of $2,5O0 on his life "in consideration of natural love and affection" This was on Aug. II. 1900, when he was cOurting her.
 When Heinrich died Walter R. Hein- rich. as administrator of his estate, re- fused to pay the amount of the policy 10 Miss Von Schuckmann. and the in surance company deposited the money in the supreme court Miss Non Schuckmann then brought suit for the money and Justice Vernon M. Davis landed down a decision in which he awarded it to her
 It appeared from the testimony that Miss Von Schuckmann and Heinrich had been friends for ten years; that he was deeply in love with her and ire Quently asked her to wed him. She refused to enter into any engagement but promised that if she could eventu- ally love him she would become his wife. It happened, however, that early last year the young woman met a young man with whom she did actu- ally fall in love, whereupon she in- formed Heinrich that she could never marry him. Heinrich pined away an6 died.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
County Convention of kfarICopa Co.

the violation of any agreement is the original grantor, the New England Land company, of whose present ex- :stence there is a doubt. The defense argues that subsequent grantees have entered into a sCct of an agreement with the defendant regarding the per petuity of the temperance idea at Glendale
 The jury was excused during the ar gument on this point, and at its close at q late hour in the afternoon the court took it under advisement.
 Juan Bravo. who had been held to the grand jury on a charge of robbery, was brought before the court on a writ of habeas corpus for the reduction of his bail, which had been fixed at $500. It was reduced to $100. He furnished that amount and was released.

OIL FOR SIMPLIFYING FUEL.

We have received from one of our subscribers in Auburn, N. Y, MT. Al fred Fosgate. a very interesting let ter cn the advantages of oil as smell ter fuel. He has made. evidently. q close study of the subject, and pre- diets that the use of coke will soon be only q memory. He says:
 "Oil smelting-that is. smelting ores with oil as fuel-is not new process, as it has long been employed in Rus Sia in a crude way, yet with much success. Oil fuel, when properly ap- piled, produces the most intense heat known. It is said that Texas oil con- taius the largest number of heat units, and from numerous experiments which have made I find that barrel of this Gil. when properly used. is sufficient to reduce three tons of ore.
 The cost of the oil at the wells is practically nothing. After refining and transportation it sells at about $1 per harrel. and wle large quantities of ere are reduced this makes smeltirg profitable at $1 per ton.
 It will be but a few years when nil will be the common shelter fuel!
 if we had not strayed from the old | reducing our ores with wood. But as wood was given up for charcoal, as we passed from charcoal to coal. and from coal to coke. so coke must be super seded by oil. The latter is the ideal smelling fuel. Tn certain dry and arid sections Cs the country good mines are in idleHess today because. first, they can not obtain sufficient water to carr; out the orduary stamp nIill process: and secondly, because snelt"rs can no; be profitably operated Tn their locality
 owing to the great cost of coke. Oil however. can be delivered to these 1 points at a comparatively low cost, anC
 this fact in itself will ultimately result
 in placing many properties on paying basis which it is today impossible to op crate at a profit Oil will do for tn, | mining industry what elcctricity ha.

NOTES FROM LEES RANCH.

A few words in regard to Lees Ranch may be of interest to the many readers of The Republican.
 Lees Ranch is located on the desert about miles from Phoenix in a north easterly direction. There is no irriga- ton on the place and the air is per fectly dry and invigOrating, the sani- tary conditions are as near perfection as one could wish for: guest and campers are not allowed to expectOrate on the grounds and those suffering
 from lung trouble are particular about
 the rule being enforced for mutual
 protection.
 There are fifteen tents on the ranch for sick people to enjoy the Arizona climate.
 The spacious dining room is within a
 short distance of the tents and the tab is supplied with the most nutri- tious food the market affords besides fresh eggs. butter and milk. The population of the desert Is growing day by day as new tents arr going up along the canal. We occasionally hear the whistle cf | the oil Well company and hope to have a good report soon from. them- 1 Jno. T.
