TaXpaying Candidates.

a couple of THE LEADERS sleepy con-
temporaries seem to be advocating the
election of r n. Warnock, Democratic
candidate for Sheriff, mainly because
he is taxpayer. Bob is taxpayer all
right enough, but there are others
Here is what the assessment roll re-
veals:
Taxes of r. n. Warnock ........ $32.3
Taxes of j II. Ross. s.............. BATS
OF course, we expect this little item

About twenty of the young people of
Toledo celebrated Willie Franklin's 10Th
birthday Tuesday night by making him
the victim of a genuine surprise party.
One of the best times on record is re-
ported, an abundance of ice cream and
cake contributing largely to the success
OF the affair. The cake, it is said, was
especially deserving of attention, for it
was made by the girls present, and the
boys think it just a little better than
the girls mothers could make. The
good time lasted until the early hours
of Wednesday morning.
Sheriff Ross arrested Wednesday at
Wrens George DeBois, Father of Irwin
Debois, the young man whom he ar
rested last week for looting a cottage at

ButtIes-Rurkc

Married, in Seattle, on Thursday
evening, April Z, at Plymouth church,
Rev. DR.. Temple officiating, Mr. Jay
Buttles, of Wenatchee, and Miss lsa-
bella Burke, of Seattle.
The publication of the issue of the
marriage license in Seattle was quite a
surprise, but as Jay came home alone
on Saturday morning the matter was
re .yarded suspiciously. The facts seem
TO be that the young people had not in
tended to be married until in May or
June, but during jays visit to Seattle
early last week concluded to become
one at once. Mrs. Buttles could not
leave Seattle Immediately owing to
some business and family matters, so
Jaw came home alone. She will be
here today, however, Jay informs us.
1t has been evident for some time
that Jay was in very peculiar state of
mind, but no one dreamed that he con
templated committing matrimony in
such mysterious manner.
The Young couple will settle down
and make their home here in Wenat-
chez, and the Advance wishes for them
all the happiness and pros perity that
their hearts can deaire.-Advance.
Mr.. Bultles formerly lived in Leav-
enworth, where ne was quite popular.

DROWNED IN MASON CREEK
RoIIin RidOut, a Logging Camp EN-
pIoyce of the Lamb-DaVis
Lumber Will Drowned
"wednesday

On Wednesday morning last Rollin
Ridout, who has been working for the
mill company for the past year, was
employed in cutting drift wood out of
Mason Creek and must have slipped
and fallen into the water. He did not
return to the camp Wednesday evening
and on Thursday Billy Burns, also an
employee of the company, and J. NJ.
Townsend made a search and found his
lunch bucket and snow shoes on the
bank near where he had been at work.
Continuing the search they found the
body near where Mason Creek empties
into the Wenatchee river, not far from
Chiwaukum. His watch had stopped
at S:45 a. m. on Wednesday, which
showed almost conclusively that he had
fallen into the water shortly after 60
ing to work.
The body was brought to Leaven-
worth. and on Saturday was forwarded
to Wenatchee.
The parents OF the unfortunate young
man, who have been notified, live on
Wild Rose prairie, near Wayside, about
20 miles north of Spokane, where the
bojy will be taken for burial.
Rollin Ridout was a young man OF
good habits, Industrious and liked by
his fellow workmen, as stated above he
had been in the employ of the lumber
company for more than year, work
ing most of the time in the logging
camps around Lake Wenatchee, but
this spring when the logging camps
shut down on account of bad roads he
was put to work clearing out the OBJ
structions from the channel of the creek
so that logs could be tloated down later
on when the high water comes in May
and June.
The supposition is that his tempera-
ture was high from exertion and com
ing in contact with the icy cold water
he was seized with cramp, as other
wise he could have gotten out. Mason
Creek is not very large, nor very deep
but rather high from snow water on
account of the warm weather we had
last week.
1t is a notable fact which the writer
has observed in his four years resi-
dence in Washington that very few of
those who fall into the water ever get
out alive-perhaps not one in a hun
dred. This can only be accounted for
because the water in all the streams
and lakes is so intensely cold that the
body becomes benumed and cramp
follows. This at least is given as the
reason why SO few ever get out of the
water alive.

Death of J. i. MURPHY

Died last Saturday, at the residence
of Mrs. L. w. Bloom, j. L. Murphy, OF
St. Paul, Minnesota, aged % years.
Deceased was suffering from tuber-
cuosis and was brought here last Feb
ruary by his brother who is Great
Northern conductor, in the hope that
he would be benefited by the climate,
intending to take him to Arizona in
the spring.
1t was about two years ago that this
much dreaded disease first made its APP
pearance. Up to Wednesday before
his death on Saturday last he was APP
parently improving and no fears were
entertained that death would come so
soon. His brother, who did everything
that could be done for him, went to
Spokane Monday to get camping out
fit to start for Arizona, but was called
back by telegram advising him his
brother was rapidly sinking
Deceased has mother, father and
five brothers living in st. Paul, Min
nesota Z. F: Sprague took the body
to Wenatchee where he embalmed it
for burial in the cemetery at that
place Sometime in the future it will
be taken to ST. Paul for final resting
place.
Rev. Father Colin conducted the
Catholic burial service at Wenatchee
on Tuesday of this week when the body
was temporarily laid to rest.
In Mrs. Bloom the young man had a
most excellent and attentive nurse. In
deed, so closely did she contine herself
that she has herself become sick and
has been suffering from nervous pros
tration.

Chelan County Pest

There is thing in our town that is
running at large, its name at the best,
is the Chelan County Pest, it is not con-
tageous, but hard to catch; If you have
any land look out or he'll get it. He is
out in the evening and out after dark;
its bite is not bad but look out for its
bark. 1t has an accomplish that Satan
has thrown out that's always around O."
about; its tongue is as sharp as fine
cambria needle, and its movements are
sly like wild mountain weasel. But
the pest will die out in the future to
to come so look out for it boys and be
ready to run. T. B.

sage from Chiwaukum spent two days
in town this week.
Percy Walker was up from Wenat-

knows of no other democrat in this part
of the state who is more worthy OF the

built the big mill in Wenatchee, was
here this week looking after the propo-
sition TO build mill at this place.

On Monday of this week the cases
were called for trial in Justice Beech
ers court and the case involving pos
session of the land was dismissed on
motion of Attorney John b. Adams for
the reason that the court had no juris-
diction. The assault case was put on
trial, defendant being represented by
Mr. Adams, and johnson promptly ac-
quilted. County Attorney Reeves
'phoned up to Mr.. Adams that the Wy
ckolf family had cost Chelan county
more than twenty-five hundred dollars
in court costs.
Some time ago Sam Wyckoff moved
onto and took possession of a piece of
land belonging to Tom Burke, under
the belief that it was public domain
and Burke had forfeited his right to it
by not complying with the law. 1t is
in fact Northern Pacific railroad land
and Burke had employed a man by the
name of Johnson to work on his place,
and it appears that he met Wyckotf on
the place and told him he had made
mistake and that he had better stay
way or he would get hurt. On Monday
he went before Justice S. p. Beecher, of
Peshastin, and made complaint that
Johnson had assaulted him, and also
brought suit for possession of the land.
He had previously tried to make com
plant before County Attorney Reeves
and also before Justice Bjork of this
of this place, but both gentlemen had
refused to entertain it, knowing the
complainant had made numerous COM
plants before, none of which had ever
been sustained.
The Ladies Guild will meet with
Mrs. A. j. Martin next Thursday after
noon.
Cnas. Fl. Anderson, from Montana,
accompanied by John Hall, F. c. Bob
ling and Clark Stevenson, from Poy-
nette, Wisconsin, arrived in our town
last week. The latter three gentlemen
on their way to BIewett, where they
will work in the mines of that place
this summer. Mr.. Anderson goes to
the same place to investigate some
mining property in and around Blewett
and Niger Creek for eastern parties.
Mr.. Anderson has had considerable
mining experience in Montana and
other states and is considered some
thing of an expert in mining.
Be. Collier, the Wenatchee pho
tographer, was up last Wednesday 10
take some views of our scenery includ-
ing the dam.
H. TIL. Hansen tells the Echo that
the high water is playing havoc with
the Chumstick road which is almost
impossible. He says that several
bridges have already been washed out
and that others will follow.
Charley Click, brother Of John
Kuelbs, Mission, in unhitching team
from buggy last week was struck on
the top of the head by the tongue,
crushing his skull so severely that II
was feared he might die as a result, bnt
prompt treatment by Drs. Martin and
| Hedges, removing the bone pressure
saved him, says the Journal.
Tom Henry was up from his ranch
one day this week. He said he could
use two or three men on his farm at
present, one all the year around.

County Surveyor w. r. Prowell was
up from Wenatchee last Tuesday and
while here called on the Echo. He will
investigate the condition of the bridge
across the Wenatchee river at this
point the condition of which was called
attention to last week by the Echo. Mr.
Prowell says the repairs will be made
as soon as possible. He also said that
Commercial street between the hospital
and the mill will be improved just as
soon as the supervisor can get around
to it, removing some buildings that are
in the street and building bridge
across the gulch. He will also open up,
while here, road on the opposite side
of the river beginning at the bridge and
running up the valley to Icycle creek,
about four and three-quurter miles.
J. F. Van Dyke, who has for some
time been connected with the U. S. rev.
enue service at Seattle, together with
his brother Fl. f. Van Dyke, OF Contra
liza, Wash, and B. H. Nichols, from
Adna, Wash, passed through our town
last Saturday on their way up to the
region around Lake Wenatchee where
the Van Dyke brothers have located on
government land. J. F. Van Dyke told
US that he would establish a hay and
stock ranch, and that he considered
this an ideal place for stock on account
of the winters being so mild. He spent
some time in this county last winter
teaching public school and speaks adj
visedly about the climate. There are
hundreds of acres of land within ten or
twelve miles OF Leavenworth that is
just as fertile as any in the country
that only needs some one to cultivate it
to become productive.
The unusually early rise in the river,
coming fully month earlier than in
former years has caused the mill COM
pany some anxiety about the dam. In
the last three weeks the river has risen
some eight or ten feet and the work had
not progressed far enough but that con-
siderable damage might have been
done had not Engineer Downing, who
is in charge of tie construction, doubled
his force of men and teams and exer-
cised the utmost care in strengthening
the weak places. The danger, though,
was confined to the ends where the
strong current threatened to cut new
channel. These ends are now being
rapidly protected in such manner
that the main current OF the river will,
when the high water season arrives, be
forced to pass over the dam through
the old channel.
Mrs. Bloom received letter from
her husband this week. He is at
Crookston, Mimi, and he says on the
14th inst. it showed six inches there
and the weather was cold and disagree
able. He said he would wind up his
business just as quick as possible and
get back to Washington where he
could take some comfort in life. Mr..
Bloom was called to Minnesota in an
swer to telegram and left here on the
| fifth of the month.
DR.. Mccoy has decided to build de-
tention hospital for the use of such pa
tients as come under his care afflicted
with ailments that would make it i'm
prudent to take them into the Leaven-
worth Hospital. The building will con-
sist of a couple of rooms comfortably
fitted up and will be conveniently near
so he can give the patients his careful
personal attention.
