as secondary evidence.
I.easia shot and killed his father-in-
law, F. II. DreWs, May "a. 1903. There
We're two important questions raised
by his counsel out OF the following
facts which came to light at the trial:
After killing his brother-in -law
Leasia compelled his divorced wife to
accompany him in his fight. Accord
ing to her story. he forced her to go
with him into the woods, where, in a
lonesome spot. he showed her a let
ter which he said he had written to
his people. In this he babe them good
by, and told them he intended to kill
Drews, his family, and then himself.
After reading the letter to her, as she
testified, he thrust it under con-
venient log. They went away and
were next day captured in a barn not
far from Portland.

Huge Engine at Des Moines Is Re-

DIES MONIES, Iowa, oct. 19.-Be-

failing in his candidacy for re- election,
embarked in the saloon business as
bartender, and further advertised HIM
self by engaging in a public wrestling
match with the English champion, the
huge electric locomotive the pride of

was christened Jim Brenton" with
elaborate ceremony, has been re-
christened and the old name painted
Dut.
A. S. Polk, the millionaire electric
railway man, issued the order for the
change. He is a radical temperance
advocate and felt that his locomotive
had been disgraced by reason of the
association with the ex-mayor.
Much comment has resulted locally
as Brenton was very popular. The in
suit conveyed by the change of name
has aroused a feeling Of resentment
among his friends.

Authorities INTERCEPT A MES
SAGE THAT WAS SENT BY

Noted Criminal Grows Very Desperate
Under the Certainty Of His
Coming Punishment.

SIOUX FALLS. s. D., Oct bly,

sons whose names the authorities re-
fuse to reveal the latter believe they
frustrated another daring attempt on
the part of j. H. Wilson, noted
forger who is wanted in Minneapolis,
ST Paul. Mankato, Sioux CITY ana
other places. and James Ryan, an
other prisoner. to make their escape.
Wilson and Ryan recently attempted
TO escape from Jail after assaulting
and nearly killing Deputy Sheriff
Crooks.
AS the result they We're taken before
a local Justice to answer to the addi-
tional charge Of assault with
dangerous weapon, and were held to
answer to the charge. AS this is
more serious affair than those pre-
viously standing against them, it is
probable they will be tried in the state
circuit court on the latter charge, and
will be given terms of several years
each in the penitentiary.
The message which was intercepted
bv the authorities leaves little doubt
that the two men had planned a res
cue of themselves by their friends at
the preliminary hearing.

The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous

Judge Turner's visit-his intermingl-
ing with old frends-has revived those
memories which now seem ancient.
Knows Them by Name.
Judge Turner has been renewing ac-
Quaintances of 20 years. Those who
ascribe his we'll known dignity to
GOODNESS would be surprised to hear
him greeting John" and "Tom," and
Bill" and Jake and Pete" At
Cleelum Saturday night, when he was
so sick and weak as scarcely to be
able to talk to anybody. bunch of the
old timers-most of them republicans
followed him down to the depot, re-
calling the days when they We're young
men together, score of years ago. Re-
CARELESS of position, they assured
him that the men who knew him when
he was judge and who served on his
jures were with him to a man.
The old timers in the valleys of
Yakima and kittitas will vote for Tur-
ner practically to man. To them the
fact that the changes of 20 years have
landed him in the democratic party
makes no difference. They know

turner HI on Mobs."
Turner was always HI on mobs,"
said an old, gray bearded fellow at
Ellensburg Saturday. He had been up
to Judge Turner's room renewing old
acquaintance. and memories of a
score of years ago had been stirred
within him.
Turner didn't give a cuss whether
the mob represented public senti-
ment or not" he said. Il remember a
fellow down in Yakima who had
licked his wife. The licking created a
big sensation in the community, and
a bunch of women took the fellow out,
tied him to a tree, and Whaled him
good. Several men helped out on the
job. The fellow recognized several of
his assailants and had one of them
indicted by the grand jury.
The evidence at the trial before
Judge Turner was conclusive. The
fellow had no defense. This fellow
here (Henry J. Snively) defended
him. Sentiment was with him and he
was acquitted. Turner refused to per-
nit that jury to sit on any more
cases in his court. He said that a
jury which would be swayed by pub
lie sentiment and which would not
find a verdict in accordance with the
law and the evidence was not fit to
act as a jury. He roasted them to a
turn and discharged them from fur
Their attendance upon the court.
Well" continued the old man, Il
was one of the jury. l was pretty hot
at the time, because l never got such a
skinning in my life. But I know that
George Turner is an honest man.
When he makes up his mind that
thing is right he doesn't care for man
| nor devil. Nobody who ever ran for
governor had half his ability and I'm
going to vote for him. I'm a republi-
| can, but George Turner is good enough
| for me-
The universal testimony from old
| timers is that Judge Turner was the
best judge upon the bench in Wash
| ington territory; and the old fellows
are laboring night and day to make
| the newcomers join in the movement
| to elect him governor.

Roosevelt will poll the heaviest vote
ever given to any candidate in the
has greatly increased in the past two
years, and it is likely that the COM
bined vote of the two leading parties
will reach $500.
Yakima county was the only one in
eastern Washington upon which J. D.
signed to smile with favor at the Ia
coma convention. It's politicians,
headed by Congressman Jones ana his
friends, delivered the county into the
railroad camp and against Governor
Mcbride. The Mcbride republicans
succeeded in polling nearly 40 per
cent of the republican vote in the pri-
maries, but the railroad crowd sue
ceeded in getting the majority.
In recognition of this loyalty to the
railroad ring, Yakima county was
given a congressman in the person of
Mr.. Jones, supreme judge in the per-
son of F. H. Rudkin, national dele
gate in the person Of George Donald,
and the craftsmanship of the Tacoma
convention in the person Of Edward
Whitson. 1t will be seen, therefore,
that the railroad contingent in Yaki-
ma county has little to complain about
so far as recognition by the Farrell
ring is concerned.
But "boxerism'' is rampant. John
Cleman one of the pioneer republicans
of the county, IS it's leader. When
Judge Turner had concluded speaking
the other night, Mr.. Cleman went to
sured him of his hearty support. Mr..
Cleman is but one of many stalwart
republicans in the county who have
refused to support the railroad ticket.
Treasurer and Yakima Incident.
Judge Turner's visit to Yakima
county has recalled wildly the old
fight of the Northern Pacific against
| the town of Yakima (now Yakima
City, 20 years ago. The company de-
| manded certain concessions from the
town, and. failing to receive them, re-
fused to stop its trains at the town.
and built the town of North Yakima
! four miles away. Private fortunes in
vested in Yakima City real estate
were swept away, and the town was
practically extinguished.
Judge Turner then judge of that jul
dicial district, was living in Yakima
| City at that time. The citizens appeal
| ed to him and he issued a peremptory
writ of mandamus. compelling the
railroad company to build a depot in
! Yakima City and to stop its trains
| there. The company carried the case
/ to the supreme court of the United
| States, and before it could be decided
there the work of destroying the town
was complete. Today there is only a
| little village on the site of what was
once the metropolis of the Yakima
valley.
Ultimately however, the supreme
| court of the United States affirmed
| the decision of the brave and fearless
/ judge who had commanded the rail-
road company to do justice to Yakima
City. Before the remittitur came
down from that high tribunal, the
railroad company. out Of Difference to
it's mandate, built its depot. Old timers
are fond of relating this incident and
referring in terms Of pride and affection
to the judge who forced the arrogant
Northern Pacific to its knees, anG

Republicans from all parts Of
the State, said ;hNt h f"lt very
comfortably ahou, tE' lection
of a Republican Legislature. His
reelection to the Senate is gen
orally conceded. Nothing snort
of a Democratic landslide would
defeat him. None the less. the
Senator is looking very carefully
after his fences and is doing a
great deal to adjust party differ
ences that affect legislative candi-
dates. One Of the most trouble
some quarrels of that character
is right here in Wood county,
normally Republican by a good
figure. Parkersburg is the home
of Governor White, who is not
popular with his own people and
incurred additional enmity by
calling the extra session of the
Legislature. A Republican known

the county went Democratic this

very close watch on develop

Murphy and Mcclellan.

The views attributed to Leader Murphy
just now would be more interesting If they
came direct. But 1t is an unnamed friend
of his, or "a well known Tammany man,
or IAN old friend of Croker who speaks.
1t is In this way that the public is advised,
now one day and now another, where Mr..
Murphy really stands and what he is really
trying to do. Meanwhile, 1t should not be
forgotten that, speaking for himself, Mr..
Murphy has said that Mr.. Cleveland is the
man the democrats should nominate. He
has not qualified or withdrawn tha: state
ment, and it is not likely that he will. That
he would with opportunity, be delighted to
push Mayor Mcclellan in front of Judge
Parker We may all believe. but such a
maneuver calls for great skill. and he is
playing his game against David B. Hill, a
master maneuverer.

A correspondent of The Star asks whether

boys of his generation. Certainly there
seems to be evidence of greater degree OF
personal freedom on the part of the young
sters of today, less parental restriction.

chided yelling and romping. The boy OF
today Is not much different from his pro-
totype OF fifty years ago, 1t is to be be-
ieved. yet the elder citizens are inclined to
urge that he Is a greater nuisance in town.
Why is this? Or is 1t true, In fact? While
the city is discussing this matter of street
noises and the ACCESSIBILITY OF curfew law
the students of sociology might throw
light upon the point of the modern boys
training in manners.
Let this be said for the boy, he is not the
chief offender among the noise-makers.
One man who has written to The Star on
the subject cites not only playing young
sters, but men and women as among his
tormentors. 1t may be said that the yell
ing boy will make a noisy man, and that
therefore the seed of the trouble is sown

The Rescue of Perdicaris.

Having undertaken to effect the rescue
of Mr.. Perdcaris from the Moroccan ban
dit, Raisoui, this government will I'M
doubtedly continue to apply pressure
either upon the Moroccan government or
directly upon the kidnapers themselves if
the sultan fails to score any results The
terms proposed by Raisouli are, of course
impossible. The United States could not
for moment undertake to force the sui
tan to execute promises of the nature out
lined, if extorted from him by the brfgand.
1t has no part in the politics of the north
ern coast of Africa, and 1t is far from be
ing disposed to assist the tribesmen of the
interior in obtaining redress of grievances,
assuming that they are oppressed by the
provincial governors or the sultan. 1t sees
its duty much more clearly. Its citizen is
seized and held for ransom, and 1t looks to
the Moorish authorities for his rescue until
1t shall become evident that they cannot
meet its demands.
If it shall become necessary for the Unit
ed States to undertake the pursuit of
Raisouli itself, landing troops for that pur-
pose, 1t will probably do so with distinct
understanding with the sultan to the effect
that it thereby assumes no obligation with
respect to the pacifcation of his people, If
they should be stirred into activity by the
episode. 1t deals with the organized gov
eminent as long as that government can
meet the demands of humanity and inter-
national justice. and failure to do so
frees its hands to do the work itself
The situation may thus become somewhat
similar to that which existed in China in
1900. when citizens of the United States
were besieged in Picking by uncontrolled
mobs. while the Chinese government failed
to execute its obligations toward the pow
ers. That affair was broadly international,
as representatives of all the important ma
tons were endangered at the Chinese capt.
tai. This present affair is in a minor de-
gree OF the same character. inasmuch as
with Mr.. Perdlcaris was seized a citizen of
England, and the latter country will natur-
ally exert itself with the United States to
effect his rescue.

The Real Yellow Peril.
From the Louisville Herald.

The yellow peril confronting this coun-
try is the enrolment of so many misguided
men under the saffron banners of the fads,
the follies, the fancies and seh-delusions of
socialstic and anarchistic doctrines and
dogmaS. There are thousands of honest
men who recoil from such terms as social
ism and anarchism; but the political and
social beliefs that, under false teachers.
they have taken up are. to the last degree.
If pushed to logical conclusion. anarchistic
and destructive. The free-slver craze,
which for time took hold of so many mill
lions of Americans. was spoliation. pure
and simple. Nine out of every ten at least
of those who voted for 1t are men who
would scorn any proposition unjustly re-
lieving them from paying half their debts
or taking without compensation half their
neighbours property. But If Bryanism ever
meant anything 1t meant just such despoil-
ment and confscation. The yellow peril
takes other forms. 1t assails the courts of
the country. especially the highest tribunal
the Supreme Court of the United States, to
which the people owe so much in protec-
ton from usurpation and rapacity. 1t still
seeks to degrade and depreciate the cur
rency. 1t proposes to sell the chief mag
istracy OF the nation to the highest bidder.
1t is the enemy of the Monroe doctrine
Americas safeguard in the western hemi-
sphere. 1t teaches race hatred and per-
petuates oligarchies and bureaucracies. 1t
opposes national expansion and national
consolidation.
