went in search of Smith. They beat
the woods in the neighbOrhOOd of
where Smith was reported to have
been seen. but could find no one.
Urquhart states that man answer
ing Smiths description had been act
ing strangely between here and Cen
tralia for several days. He had seen
the man a number of times and knew
it was not Smith.
Immediately after Sheriff UrQuhart
returned from the search, another re-

seen in a deserted cabin up the Sal
ger valley, this side of Centralia. The
sheriff went out last night and came
in just before midnight. His search

TO SELL BIG SHELTER.
Rockefeller to Dispose of Reduction
Works at Everett

Everett, Wash.-JOhn d. ROckefel-
Ter is about to dispose of the big
smelter which he is operating in Ev-
erett under the style of the Puget
Sound Reduction company. In fact
negotiations are so we'll along that
the deal may be said to have been
practically concluded.
The independent miners of the Pa
cific northwest have long sought tC
get out of the clutches of the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company
known otherwise as the Smelter trust
1t is believed they are the people that
are taking the Everett smelter. They
are operating through Charles Swee-
ney, the wealthy mining man of Spo-
kane who is heavily interested in the
mines at Occur d'Alene, Idaho. Mr.
Sweeney has just concluded a rigid in
spectiOn of the plant here
The Independent mine owners will
now control smelling plant. and be
able to treat their ores without treat
ing with the trust.
The sale of the smelter cuts down
ROckefeller's interests in SnOhomish
county to the big paper mill here and
the Monte Christie mines at Monte
Christie. Some months ago the North
ern Pacific railway people took over
his Monte Christie railroad running to
the Monte Christie mines.
The consideration of the smelter
deal is not made known.

FIoyd D. Wismer Confesses 1t to a
Friend.

wasn't there, but knew it was COM
ing off. and | got some of the money
all right
This was the confession Of Floyd d.
Wismer to a friend at 10 o'clock Sat
urday night.
George Briggs and Wismer, both
wanted in Seattle for the cracking OF
O. B. Smith & Co., safe and the THEFT
of s271, have been walking the streets
of Vancouver for two or three days,
the latter jovially renewing acquain-
tances made here when he was can
vassing in the city some time ago.
A little forethought on the part OF
the Seattle police in notifying Van
couver that Wismer and Briggs We're
wanted would have resulted in the
two being arrested long ago. AS 1t
was, they waited until Wismer's pict-
ure appeared in a Seattle paper. WIS
mer saw it, got wise and vanished.
On Saturday morning the police OF
Vancouver were wired that Wismer
and Briggs were wanted. By another
unfortunate mishap these wires did
not reach the hands of the detectives
until 6 o'clock at night. They made
rapid search and found bundle OF
laundry at the Commercial hotel ad-
dressed to George Briggs, who had
registered under an assumed name
but had Inadvertently given his real
name to the laundry. That bundle OF
laundry was watched with bulldog de-
termination through the long vigils OF
the night, but evidently Mr. Briggs
had also seen the Seattle paper and
did not return for his clothes.
Fred Saunderson was next to the
last person to see WiSmer Saturday
night, before his departure. The last
person to see him was Miss Shaw, a
young lady to whom he was paying
attentions and who was boarding at
Mrs. Grieve's boarding house on Ham
ilton street, where Wismer put up at
ter his return to Vancouver.
To SaundersOn Wismer confessed
his connection with the burglary. He
sent for him and asked him to ask
Miss Shaw to come to him at the cor
ner of two dark streets. SaundersOn
left the two together
1t transpires that Wismer urged
Miss Shaw to marry him at once that
night. She refused and they returned
to the hotel together at 1870.
Wismer gathered his belongings and
left the boarding house without pay
ing his board.
Wismer was located in Vancouver
at midnight. The police are hot on
his trail.

HAS NO OPINION.
w. {. Best UNIFORMED as to the EVi
dence of Murder.

Seattle.-William E. Best, Of the
city, is unwilling to express any opln-
ION concerning the suspicion that his
father, the late Col William j. Best,
was murdeed for his money and the
valuables which he had about him.
Mr. Best says that in fact he has no
opinion, because he knows nothing OF
the evidence on which the suspicion
IS based, except from hearsay.
Col Best died at San Rafael, Cal,
April .. while he was the guest Of
DR.. John D. Woods, and a woman
known as the latter's sister, Miss
Clay Woods. Col Best had known the
pair but short time. Dr. Woods and
the woman had been living in San Ra-
fael but brief period. At first they
made an excellent impression but
later they were regarded as adven-
turers and shortly after the death of
Col. Best left for the east
In Atlantic City. N j., where they
lived as a married couple, il was as
certained that they had in their pos
session certain valuables reSem bling
property of Col. Best. Alfred NJ. Best,
son of the deceased, became so suS
piciOus after making Investigations,
that he obtained search warrant,
and on a denomination of the Woods
apartments several articles belonging
to Col. Best were found. The pair
were arrested and will be taken to
California as soon as requisitiOn pa
pers can be obtained.
Mr.. W. E. Best. of Seattle. went to
California Immediately after his
fathers death, and sent the body to
the east to be inferred He says that
there were no marks of violence on
The body, and that if there was any
foul play in the case poison must have
been the means employed. He thinks
it probable that Col. Best died sud
denly by natural process. and that the
Woods couple merely took advantage
Of the circumstances to deCamp with
everything portable. 1t was known
that Col. Best had several hundred
dollars in money with him a day or
TWO before his death, besides other
Valuables
Mr.. Best says that when he was in
California, the Woods stood we'll in
the town of San Rafael. but that he
has understood that after he left a
different opinion concerning them
arose. DR.. Woods had become en-
. gagged to the daughter of a prominent
and wealthy citizen, who learned
some facts about his prospective SON.

stating that the engagement had been

NEW INVENTION.
Ballard Man Has a Patent on the
Making of Shingles.

Ballard.-A new invention, which
promises to revOlutionize the saw
market and the manufacture of
shingles and lumber. was tried in the
slingle department of the Stimson
Mill Co.. with satisfactory results.
The invention is a new kind of saw
tooth. called a planer tooth, that can
be applied to any kind of a saw. and
which it is claimed will not only save
timber, but will plane whatever is
sawed as smoothly as though the work
were done by a planer machine.
Albert E. Brymer Jr. a telegraph
operator in the employ of the North
I'm Pacific company, is the enventor.
III conversation, Mr. Brymer said
hat he had been working on the in
ventlon for three years and that if it
proved a success he would devote his
whole time to the introduction of the
saws.
A circular saw of his make is being
tried by c. A. Donoghue, foreman, at
Stimson's, and the shingles are being
inspected by several interested men.
The shingles show planed surface
equal to planed single. The butts
are also much smoother than an or
binary Single shows. The saving in
timber will, it is claimed, be very ma
,erial, as no adjusting is needed and
the cut is only the width of the saw,
which is thinner than the ordinary
one. The tooth will work to advantage
on an upright, circular, or band saw.
Mr.. Brymer has never been connect
ed in any way with mill He is a
railroad man. He is, however, of an
inventive turn Of mind and has been
working for the past three years on
his invention. He has applied for a
patent
