about $1,000.

THE MURDERER OF cENTRAL,A
MARSHAL is UNDER AR
REST IN TEXAS.
Sheriff Urquhart Of Lewis County
Has Not Decided What Course
to Take.
to Take.

Whether to take J. H. Smith. the
murderer of Marshal John Parsons, of
Centralia, off the hands of the Texas
authorities and bring him back to
Centralia to stand trial for murder or
leave him to his fate there, is one of
the vexed questions confronting Sher-
if Urquhart, of Lewis county. The
officer has determined in his own
mind to leave the case of Smith
alone, but the public sentiment bf
Chehalis county and particularly of
Centralia may compel him to go to
state.
Recently Smith was arrested at a
small town in the Lone Star state and
taken to Ell Paso for trial 1t seems
that Smith became enraged in a fight
in which a knife was used The man
stabbed by Smith was reported as
dangerously wounded, but later recov-
cred. The case against the murderer
was taken before a jury, but he was
acquitted on the ground of insanity.
He was later given a hearing on the
insanity CHARGE but the representative
of the Texas state insane asylum re-
fused to have anything to do with the
case and positively declined to accept
Smith when he was turned over to
their charge. Under the circumstances,
the authorities of Ell Pasco We're COM
PEELED to keep Smith in Jail.
Growing tired of the situation, the
Texas authorities telegraphed to
Sheriff UrQuhart and asked that he
take Smith off their hands. There is
reward of 5000 outstanding on Smiths
head and the Texas authorities claim
ed it and demanded payment. Sheriff
Urqunart has been in Tacoma for the
past week on business. He discussed
the case at length, but seemed worried
over the action of the Texas jury in
acquitting the man on the ground of
insanity.
