1t Recalls an Indian RAID.

Olympia, Jan. 2.-The bill intro
duced i'll the senate by Senator Foster
for relief for Robert Frost of Olympia
was for loss OF large quantity of food
and miners supplies taken from MIR.
Frost in 1858 by Indians. The sup
plies were lost to the Indians in a pitched
battle between Indians and a party OF
$50 miners bound from Oregon to the
Frazer river. The party was ambushed
in McLaughlin's canyon on the Okla
hogan river. Six white men were killed,
many wounded and most OF their sup
plies, which we're them worth fabulous
prices, were lost. MIR. Frost's claim for
$4,000 was first presented to the govern
ment 20 years ago.

Fire at Leavenworth

Leavenworth, Wash, Jan. "a Fire
this morning destroyed six buildings
and, famed by a strong wind, for a time
threatened the entire town. The loss IL
between $40, 600 and $4,000. Only a
small portion of the damage was cover
ed by insurance The whole town turned
out to fight the flames and it was only
by vigorous work that the fire was pre-
vented from spreading further than it
did. The Great Northern employees were
called out to save the depot and other
company property. The snow, which is
two feet deep on the ground and the
roofs of the buildings, proved an efficient
weapon against the flames.

Taking His own Life.
CREIGHTON-One of the, most pc
cuiar cases in the history of the state
has just come to light in the town OF
Verdigris north of here. About three
months ago a quiet appearing man
who gave the name of Ernest Johnson
appeared here and secured work on
the Jackson ranch near town He
was steady and a good worker and
was speedily in the good graces of HIS
employers. He never said anything
about his past, but as there was moth
ing mysterious in his actions no one
thought anything about this.
About three weeks ago officers from
Iowa came to town and made inqui-
ries concerning Johnson and where he
could be found. Johnson learned of
their presence and disappeared as
completely as though the earth had
swallowed him up The whole coun-
try was searched by the officers and
no trace of the man could be found
and the officers finally gave up the
hunt and returned to Iowa. They
stated Johnson was wanted in his
former Iowa home on the charge OF
criminal assault and murder and that
they had been on Johnson's trail for
four months before locating him at
Verdigris.
The case was a seven days wonder
in the town but was gradually being
forgotten until few days ago. The
teachers and pupils in the public
school building at Verdigris noticed an
offensive odor which grew stronger
from day to day until finally it became
necessary to dismiss school on account
of 1t and some of the men started an
investigation to ascertain the cause.
In the garnet of the school building
the body of Johnson was found hang
ing and from it's condition it was evil
dent that he had gone to the school
building and hung himself on learning
that the Iowa officers were after him.
The body was cut down, the Iowa PEG.
pie notified and on their request II
was sent to his former Iowa home for
burial

where an interpreter persisted in rec
ognizing an English guest who arriv

could be known to the native. The
latter shortly afterward accompanied
the visitor to the state museum

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things of everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that a trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because it
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 10c package con-
tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds
contain but II ozs. 1t is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality
and quantity must win.
