JOHN BOYD IS HELD OVER
CULIAR ACTIONS IN WASH
INGTON HOUSE.
He Is Accused Of Attempting to Burg
Iarize Several Rooms in the
Lodging Place.

One of the most peculiar cases ever
tried in the Walla Walla police court
was the preliminary examination of
John Boyd yesterday afternoon before
Justice Huffman on the charge of en-
tering house with burglarius intent.
Boyd claimed to have been drinking
all the night before and that having
been taken by drinking pal he picked
up that night to the Washington
house, where his pal claimed to have
a room. That was all he could re-
member. He said he know nothing at
all about going in anyone's room. The
testimony brought out showed that he
had acted queerly in the morning. He
and his pal had entered room No. in
the Washington house about o'clock
yesterday morning. John Stafford and
Dorsey were in this room occupying
separate beds and both were awakened
about the same time to see Boyd try
ing to get hold of Dorseys trousers
and his pal looking through the pockets
of Stafford's coat. Boyd and his COM
paniOn left in hurry, the latter with
a pair of Overalls. Boyd slipped and
fell his length in the hall way, but
later loitered about the building for
some time, once attempting to get in
another window by standing on a box.
Nearly all the witnesses testified that
Boyd, although he acted peculiar in
the morning, yet ran too fast at times
and was too spry to be very drunk.
Justice Huffman said that he consid-
cred the case a proper one for jury
to decide and bound him over under
500 bonds to appear a the next term
of court. Boyd is stranger here look
ing, he said, for harvest work He
has been working on the Ellensburg
ditch. He seems to have no friends
about here. He was unable to furnish
bail and refused all offers of assistance
when taken to Jail.

MRS. MARY w. TREVITT is GREAT.
GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER
OF EXPLORER.
Pioneer Woman Of Portland, Oreqon
Who Came to the Pacific Coast
in 1857.

PORTLAND. Ore, July 6.-Portland
possesses a direct descendant of the
great explorer, Meriwea Their Lewis,
in the person of Mrs Mary w. Trevitt,
who resides at 429 Third street. Mrs.
Trevitt, whose maiden name was
Hunt, was born at Lynchburg, Va,
and her mother, who was member of
the Davies family of Virginia, was a
great grand daughter of the explorer.
whose exploits in the Oregon country
are to be celebrated by the big exposi-
ton in Portland next year.
Miss Hunt came across the plains
with her parents in 1853, when she was
a little child. The family settled in
Salem at first, and in 1859 removed to
The Dalles. Her father, B. T. Hunt,
died in 1862 and her mother passed
away in Portland five years ago. In
1869 Miss Hunt was married to District
Judge Miller died in 1873, and in 1882
Miss Miller was married to Victor
Trevitt, we'll known politician and
speculator, of Vancouver Wash. Mr..
Trevitt died in San Francisco in 1883.
Mrs. Trevitt keeps in touch with the
MeriWether family, whose ancient
home is at Charlotte, VO. The Lewis
MeriWether and Davies families have
for generations been known as the F.
F. VS., and the descendants inter-
marry with all the eXclusiveness Of
royal lineage. Mrs. Trevitt's home is
adorned with many old paintings
of revolutionary heroes and she talks
interestingly of the mother of Meri-
wether Lewis, who took a horseback
ride at the age Of so, travelling in this
manner all the way from her home in
Charlotte to St. Louis, a distance of
500 miles. She also possesses valuable
literature in connection with the early
day achievements of the first families
of Virginia, among which is a copy of
diary of Meriwether Lewis on his
memorable trip with William Clark to
the headwaters of the Missouri river
and down Clark's Fork to the Column
bia, and to the Pacific ocean, during
1S04-O5-O6
Mrs Trevitt is a well-preserved wo-
man in middle life and is we'll informed
in regard to her ancestors, of whom
she is very proud. She is in comfort
able circumstances, and has no desire
to return to Virginia, except for an oc-
casional visit.

of robbing Mrs. Lucy Deraguish, who
first arrested in this city in company
with Ed Grant, former convict in the
attired in pair of overalls which she
stubbornly refused to change for a
skirt, spoke freely. She said:
Il don't see why they want to put

he dislikes to see me carry a gun.

,CES CRIME ON BOY-LOVER
Mrs. Winters Second Version Of Her
Husbands Murder.

LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, July g.
Mrs. Katie Winter accused by the
coroner's jury of the murder of her
husband Frank Winter, who was bru-
tally killed with clubs, made confess
sion in which she said that the man
was slain by John kardasch, the Il
year-old son of neighboring farmer
whom she loved and desired to marry
The girl widow is alleged to have
said that kardasch was her lover and
that they had agreed that Winner
should be killed and they would be-
come man and wife. Although two
blood clouted clubs were found in the
bedroom where the murder was COM
mitted. she declared that she did not
aid in the actual killing although it
had been planned between them.
Young Kardasch was arrested while
he was digging a grave for the victim
of the horrible murder. 1t seems that
he did not know that Mrs Winter was
being held on a charge of murder He
protested his innocence and denounced
as untrue every allegation against him.
Mrs. Winters alleged confession
was made after she had refused to talk
to any one for many hours. Her pre-
NiOus story had been that tramps who
had been refused food returned to
the house at midnight and murdered
her husband after knocking her sense
less with a club. No welt or sign of
blow was discovered on her person
when she was examined at the Jail
here.
For short time after her imprison-
ment she was voluble in her descrip-
tons of the crime. She told of the
coming of tramps and of their insO-
lent demands for food. When quest
Toned at this point she said there was
nothing remarkable about their APP
pe2rance, except that they were very
dirty.

HENRY B. GRAY TO
RETIRE ON NOV. 5
HAS NO INTENTION OF CONTEST
ING FOR A LONGER TERM OF Of
FIcE THAN WAS INTENDED BY
THE LEGISLATURE.

Henry B. Gray, treasurer of jefferson
county, has set an example which, If fol-
lowed by other officeholders, will relieve
all danger of contest for holding office
longer than was intended by the last
legislature. He has decided that under
term than the election and qualification
of his successor on November s. He an
nounces further that he will retire from
office at that time and will turn over
all books and records to his successor.
The trouble which Mr.. Gray has avoid
ed arose several months ago, when 1t
was discovered that the constitution and
acts of the legislature and the code of
1896 did not agree as to the time certain
officials should retire from office. 1t Is
probable that there will be contests in a
few of the counties and the matter will
be brought before the supreme court to
settle.
During the last session of the legls-
lature," said Mr.. Gray yesterday, the
matter of the extension of the office of
treasurer was brought before the body,
and 1t was practically unanimously agreed
that no extension would be made Of the
term OF that office. At the same time the
terms of tax assessors and collectors
were extended to July l of the year fol-
lowing the election, N order that no
change might be made during the busy
season of assessing and collecting taxes.
1T would, therefore. be impossible for
me to attempt to hold an office that 1
knew 1t was not the intention Of the leg
islature to extend the term of. I was
very generously elected by the people of
Jefferson county as treasurer for four
wears. I have filled that term, the four
years having expired September l, and
my successor will be elected on Novem-
Der s.
"If there is any doubt as to whether
or not my term expires by law, so far
as am concerned no case will have to be
made. l shall resign when my successor
Is elected and qualified. and will take
pleasure in turning over to him the trust
which has been imposed upon me for the
four years.

GEORGE WARD Is
OUT IN A LETTER
AS CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR HE
SUBMITS SOME VERY POINTED
AND RAcY REMARKs-HE DIS
cUsSEs THE REAL QUESTION.
To the Voters of Birmingham:

To the Voters of Birmingham:
The friends of the machine candidate
for mayor, Mr.. C. S. Simmons, are per-
sistently putting out reports that am
a crank--.null-headed and unsafe.
Now let those gentlemen come into the
open and specify wherein l am crank,
bull-headed or unsafe, or have ever block
ed the citys prosperity.
II they will not do this in public print,
a chivalric people should treat such tale
bearers as they do other things that creep
Under cover
If by unsafe they mean that am OPP
posed to Fpecial legislation In payment
of political services;
II they mean that I am unwilling to
ignore or violate the laws of our city
every time the bosses in control say 1t
is good to do SO;
If they mean that will not trade my
vote in the council for something to
be done for me in return;
If they mean that / will Insist on a
system that will show regularly and
publicly where the money Is and where
all of 1t goes;
be a party 10 or guilty of using the exc
cutive authority to promote political for
tunes of men, who are bent on perpetual
ing themselves in power;
If they mean that will fight the pay
ment of $4,000 a year to Mr.. Gambill, or
any other man, for collecting the
licenses;
If they mean I am opposed to alder
men trading with the city and making
contracts with themselves;
If they mean that / will insist that
every book record or official act of this
city shall pe opened to the inspection of
the humblest citizen-then I wish to say
THEY ARE RIGHT AND I AM UN-
SAFE.
On the other hand II they mean by
unsafe that l would not cheerfully in
vite consider and be guided by the adj
vice of conservative men of Birmingham
on all pubic questions;
If they mean that I would use the
prestige of chief magistrate for my own
pecuniary advancement or pay off per-
sonal obligations at the public expense;
II they r1ean that I would allow the
city government to drift along from year
to year-hither and thither-like jelly
fish at the mercy Of every minnow or
shark that makes a jab at II;
If they nean that / would not give
earnest, honest, painstaking care and
all my time to the trust imposed In me
THEN THEY ARE WRONG.
The people probably know of no case
on record where a political machine ever
voluntarily went out Of basiness-this one
is no exception.
To put it out of business and see just
what has happened in the past six years
the people must rise up and vote for the
man this machine is fighting.
The real question for every business
man, taxpaying and laboring man, who
desires nothing from the city govern
ment but the lowest possible taxation,
good schools, efficient police and fire pro-
lection and clean streets Is this-which
one of the aspirants for office will be
farthest removed from and least fable
to be controlled by rings and cliques
whose chief desire is spells. Respectfully
sss GEORGE B. WARD.
