GAINED WHOLE STORY
OF AWFUL INfANTIClDE
Mrs. Jeanette Harris, On Trial for Muir
dering Her Daughters lllegitimate
Child, Her Confessed.

Not guilty because OF insanity" was
he unanimous verdict which the jury,
after six hours deliberation, returned at
1890 o'clock Saturday night, and 1t set
Mrs. Jeanette Harris of North Yakima
free from responsibility before the law
for killing the illegitimate baby OF her
daughter Pearl on June Is last.
The Spokesman-Review states that
whom the clerk read the verdict of
Not guilty because of insanity great
claiming of hands started amongst the
30 spectators who had watched all even
ing for the outcome.
In his instructions to the jury Judge
Bell made the usual classification OF
verdicts to be reached i'll murder case.
They are murder in the first degree muir
der in the second degree, manslauShter.
not guilty because of insanity, and not
guilty. Judge Bell gave additional IN
structions because of the plea OF insan-
ity made by the defense, and said:
If at the time of committing the Of
Tense. as charged and admitted, the
mind of the defendant was diseased and
unbalanced so that she was unable to
distinguish between right and wrong
the verdict shall be brought for the de-
fendant.
But of at the time of the deed she
was able to distinguish between right
and wrong. even if her mind was dis
turbed and upset, she would still be re-
sponsible for any criminal acts she
might commit.
Where a plea of insanity Is made
The burden is on the defendant to prove
by fair preponderance of evidence that
the defendant was mentally unbalanced

SENT PISTOL BULLET
INTO HIS OWN HEAD

Emmett Hollinger, living on farm
about four miles southwest of Massil-
Ion upon the Millersburg road, shot
himself through the temple with a
revolver, about Q o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, with suicidal intent At
o'clock last night he was still living,
but there was absolutely no hopes of
his recovery, as the bullet had pen
etrated the brain.
Hollinger was considered rather

er's revolver and went to the woods.
About an hour afterward, Miss Belva
Stoner was passing through the woods
and found the man lying unconscious
with the revolver at his side. The
alarm was given and Or. Chamberlain
called, but he at once ascertained
that there was no hope of recovery.
Hollinger is a single man and
about 2S years Of age. What led him
to commit the deed is not known,
unless 1t was an insane delusion.
Word was sent to Canton for Coro-

Another good suggestion of Mr.. Elliott's
is the Importance of putting baled alfalfa
into barns to keep dry. He says it will pay
any man who raises much alfalfa to build a
hay barn-not to put loose hay in but the
baled hay He spoke of Mr.. Condor, of
North Yakima, who has large barn into
which he puts his baled hay early in the
season. 1t always comes into the market
here in the very best possible condition and
brings him handsome profit 1t would be
well for alfalfa hay raisers to make note
of this

We are firm believer in the notion Of re-

stead of leaving them until the hurry of

crowbars and other tools are often left in

of being put in place and in the spring fell

All kinds of seedless fruits are expected
to materialize when Uncle Sans experts
get through with whole lot of their fub-
dub, says Lutte Wilcox. They claim that the
seedless watermelon is reasonable hope for
the coming generation. Meanwhile the
thornless blackberry is already an accom-
plished fact, having been produced recently
at Benton Harbor, Michigan, and the pit has
been eliminated from new and promising
variety of plum At present the experts
are engaged in augmenting the size and i'm
proving the shape of the stoneless prune, as
it is called, in order that it may prove OF as
high commercial value as possible. The
seedless apple is likely to arrive in the near
future. The plant makers are working on
the problem patiently, but we would like to
know how they propose to perpetuate the
seedless watermelon which is an annual
plant propagated only from seed.

WALKS AND TALKS
ON WESTERN AVENUE
BY f. walden

Last week the aJtentlOn Oh our reduerS
was directed to the commission houses on the
west side of Western avenue, between Co
Iumbia and Madison streets Here within
two blocks can be found most OF the houses
which handle fruit, potatoes, butter, eggs
cheese, and poultry, including rabbits and
veal But there are some houses not on the
west side of the avenue and some not be-
tween Columbia and Madison, On the
corner of Madison and Western avenue and
on the east side can be found the house OF
Aggers & Bosworth Mr.. Bosworth was In
when the ''Walks and Talks" man called
and he was found to be an affable gentle
man. They handle vegetables, poultry and
eggs. They do not do commission busi-
ness at all but buy direct from the producers
Those having these commodities to sell can
write the firm and will no doubt receive
courteous treatment. Some producers pre-
fer this way of doing business
Just north of Aggers & Bosworth is j. P
Warner 1905 Western avenue, dong COM
mission business He handles fruit and po
tatoes chiefly. He also buys as well as han
dies on commission. Mr.. Warner formerly
was with Geo. M. Baker & Co., of Chicago
and seems to understand the business well.
n
IL. l..
nue.. run butter, egg and cheese house. Mr.
Wenstein being absent from the city, his
partner, w. b. Abel, was interviewed. He
reports the market on eggs good. Native
eggs are not quite as high as they were last
year, the average price this year being about
80 cts per dozen, while last year they were
about "a cts. There is greater demand for
Washington creamery butter.
There is a change in the leading salesman
in the house of j. B. Powles & Co., successors
to j. w. Goodwin & Co., GOLF Western Ave
Dan Smith, for eight years with this house.
has resigned to GO into business for himself
The writer has always found Dan very pleas
ant and accommodating and regrets to see
him go, but is pleased to note that he is to be
succeeded by j. w. Watson. Mr. Watson
has been in the employ of this house for
number of years as travelling salesman. He
is a very pleasant man to deal with. He
thoroughly understands the fruit business
and will no doubt fill his new position with
credit to the house and himself.
F. P Taylor, 81 Western avenue, does
commission business in fruits and vegeta-
Mes He also buys direct from the pro
ducers when they prefer to do business in
that way. In the same room with Mr.. lay
lor, Geo. II. Biggs does commission busl-
ness in poultry, eggs and veal.
NJ c. Mason & Co., who started into bust
ness only a couple of months ago, seem to be
doing lively business. Mr.. Mason said he
thinks that the apple market will grow much
better SOON The outlook he says, is de-
cidedlV good

AS | went along Western avenue | put
this question to number OF the commission
men: ''What, in your judgement, is most
needed on the part of the fruit growers, to
enable them to secure better prices The
following are some of the answers. NJ. g..
Mason said: ''To put their fruit up in the
most attractive form and to put their names
on the boxes Mr.. Mason showed me two
boxes Of oranges-one packed in a slovenly
manner, the other packed neatly. The poor
ly packed box contained larger oranges
and Mr. Mason assured me that they were
better. Notwithstanding this fact the bigger
and better oranges would sell for Is cts. less
per box than the others, solely because they
were poorly packed. But to resume the an
swers: ''Better grading, " said F. 7. Taylor
Frequent correspondence with the commits
sion houses We often send out lot of let
ters of inquiry from many of which we re-
ceive no reply Some time after here will
come consignment of fruit without giving
us any notice If we write to one of our
shippers that his fruit is not well packed, in
many cases, it will give offence. People are
too touchy. We mention such things for.
their benefit. Our interests are mutual. y
Thus spoke Harry Phinny.
After my walk on Western avenue
[ went across Railroad avenue and few
blocks south to the dock Of Lilly, Bogardus
& Co. [ wanted to see Frank Leckenby,
who has charge Of the seed department of
this big house. Frank and his father, A. B.
Leckenby, visited my fruit ranch in the
Yakima valley several times some years ago.
I was introduced by the genial Frank to sew
eral members of the firm and had most
delightful time This is truly an immense
house They handle seeds of all kinds, poul-
try, bee and dairy supplies, hay, grain, feed
and -four They own and operate a large
Touring mill near by Their catalogue for
1904 is just out and is magnificent pro-
duction 1t will be sent to all who ask for it.
One of the things that I had especially in
view in visiting this house was to talk with
them on the hay market. Mr.. Elliott is their
hay man and is thoroughly posted in that
branch of their business and gave me many
good pointers Good east-of-the mountains
timothy hay is worth in Seattle about $21
per ton Alfalfa is from 1913 to $3.50 per
ton Mr.. Elliott believes that hay will de-
cline somewhat in price unless the winter
should be unusually severe east OF the noun
tains. The reason assigned for this view
seems to Justify such conclusion The hay
men of Seattle have stocked up pretty we'll
on hay, expecting to secure part or all of
the contract for furnishing the United States
with 5000 tons for the Philippines But this
contract has been awarded to California and
Portland. The reason assigned for Seattle
not getting any of this contract is that hay
is too high here. With the hay dealers well
supplied and to some extent overstocked,
