LET GRAVES

The Portal Wife Killer Convicted OF
Observation-Disclosures to
''a Five Years.

Minot, N. D., April 5.-Murderer
Graves was convicted OF manslaughter
and sentenced by Judge Palda to five
years in the penitentiary. Last De-
cember Graves murdered his wife at
Portal. They had been separated for
Some time and Graves had been en-
ployed on farm near-town. He went
to the home of his wife and claims to
have attempted reconciliation. This
was not success and he shot his wife.
Mrs. Graves had been supporting her
self and children by taking in washing
after the separation from her husband.
On the hearing it was shown that
Graves had formerly been in an asy-
lum and this no doubt accounts for the
leniency Of the jury iii the case.

CHINESE ARE SUSPECTED
~ OF PREPARING A BOOM

Portland, Ore.,. April GA bomb
containing two pounds of powder, heav-
lily charged with nitro glycerine and
containing box Of 100 decorating caps
was found on the guard rail of the
steamer Albany of the Western Trans
portation company's line. The fuse had
burned almost to the caps, but had gone
out. Had the bomb exploded the Al
bany would doubtlessly have been COM
pletely wrecked From the facts that
a quantity of Chinese tissue paper and a
white sock, such as is worn by Chinese
was wrapped around the internal ma
chine, it is thought that plot to destroy
the steamer was evolved by Chinese.
The transportation company has persist
emily refused TO employ Chinese.
