The spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medi-

Peruna, assisted by the balmy air Of
spring, will cure old, stubborn cases Of

OLD men CLAMOR TO
enter PRISON DOORS

BUTTE July 1.-Two old men,
each claiming himself to be the MUIR
derer of Brakeman John Edwards,
at Deer Lodge, twenty years ago,
one already serving a life sentence
for the crime, and the other trying
his best TO enter the prison doors,
is the remarkable problem that the
officers of this state have before
them.
William Miles, aged sixty years,
recently walked into the police sta
ton at Kansas City and told the Of
ficers that he wanted to give him
self up for the murder of John Ed
wards at Deer Lodge, in the sum-
mer of 1884. He told the officers
that a man named Murphy had been
sentenced for the crime, but that
Murphy did not kill the man; that
he (Miles) fired the shot that re-
suited in Edwards death
Murphy has been in the Montana
state prison for almost nineteen
years, and his long confinement has
so affected his reason that he is now
a hopeless lunatic.
Thomas McTeague and Frank
Conley, wardens of the state peni-
Tertiary, last night expressed the
opinion that the confession of Will
liam Miles is probably true.
The wardens tell story of the
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-07-04

1854, on top of one of the cars of
Coles circus train, which had pulled
into Garrison, was found the body
of a brakeman with a bullet hole in
his back. Not the slightest clue to
the affair could be found, nothing
but the unmistakahle evidence of a
brutal and cowardly murder. The
body of the murdered brakeman was
shipped to Salt Lake City, and for
some time the affair was shrouded
in mystery.
One day, about a year later, a
man walked into the police station
in Minneapolis and offered to be ia
ken into custody as the murderer of
the brakeman in Montana. He was
locked up, the Montana authorities
were Informed of the affair, and
within within few months the man
was occupying a cell in the peniten-
tiary with life sentence hanging
over him.
That man is William Murphy alias
Walton, who has already grown old
and is fast losing his mind within
the narrow limits of his cell at Deer
Lodge. Once, several years ago, he
attempted to escape. But a guard
planted charge of buckshot in his
leg and took him back to punish

ment that may prove an irremediaI
wrong He is now fifty-tive years of
age and is employed to carry water
and do other chores around the pris-
on.
When told that another man had
confessed to the crime for which he
is serving a life sentence Murphy
gave the reporter an empty stare,
and finally broke into a violent fit
of laughter. Convicts who know
him best believe Murphy fired shot
to scare the brakeman and that he
had no intention to and did not in
lure him, but he later believed he
had really killed the man.
Miles, who says he has worked In
various states in the West as la
borer, wants to ease his conscience.
According to his story, he killed
Edwards in a quarrel over money.
II have at last done my part by
surrendering to the law he said,
land l am not going to ask for an
investigation of the case. If the Of
ficers wish to prosecute me it is their
business. If they don't, l am not
going back to Deer Lodge myself.
If any one is to blame for the killing
of that brakeman. it is myself and
not Murphy"

AS the result of an accident which
he had with his launch at the Elev-

ing, w. A. Nicholson of 3115 South
Seventh street is dead He breathed
his last about 7 o'clock last night at
the Fannie Paddock hospital.
About s o'clock yesterday morning
Mr.. Nicholson was preparing his
launch, the Dixie, for an excursion
to Point Defiance. When he united
the boat from the Inland Navigation
& Excursion company's float at the
west end of the bridge he started the
engine and headed toward the COM
pany's boat house across the channel.
The tide was coming in much faster
than was reckoned by Nicholson and
the boat had gone but few feet
from the wharf when he saw that
he was being carried toward the
girders of the Eleventh street bridge.
After shutting down the engine, he
ran to the bow of the boat and tried
to ease the force of the collision
which was inevitable owing to the
speed of the boat and the force of
the incoming tide. One of the stays

that he regards it as hopeless even
to get ready by that time
Rozhdestvensky is one of the best
Russian naval officers, and has had
considerable foreign experience as
naval attache in London and else
where. He knows too much of his
own and foreign navies to attempt
the impossible.
Even If the feet were ready, the
only possible device which would
admit of its reaching the East would
be to use oil fuel, which Russia
could get in abundance from the
Caucasus This fuel has been used
by Russian steamers on the Caspian
sea. and on the Eastern rivers, so
presumably there are engineers In
Russia who understand It,
An idea has begun to form in Rus
sian naval and military circles, how
ever, that the available ships may be
needed in the Baltic itself If Port
Arthur falls and Kuropatkn is
forced to retire to Hardin the pur-
pose of the war so far as Japan is
concerned, will have been achieved
and she will be naturally DESTROYS
of concluding peace. If Russia re-
fuses this about the only thing re-
naming TO be done would be for the
Japanese to carry the war into
Europe by sending squadron or
battleships and cruisers to the Bal
tic. This possibility is one which
Russia has to consider and prepare
to meet when navigation opens
next spring.

BATTERY CAMPED
ON THE PUYALLUP

The Eighth battery, commanded
by Captain Henley, arrived here yes
terday afternoon and went into camp
on the government land on the banks
of the Puyallup river, near the In
terurban bridge. The battery came
prepared to take an active part In
the parade. Though the roads over
which the Eighth travelled were
rough and heavy, the trip from the
camp on Higgins like to the present
camp grounds was made in four
and one-half hours.
After the parade this morning the
battery returned to camp on the
Puyallup, where it will remain until
Tuesday morning, when the return
march to Higgins lake will be be-
gun.
The Twenty-sixth battery marched
in from Camp Steilacuom this morn
ing and the infantry came by special
train on the Northern Pacific.

LONDON, July An the case of
the Baltic fleet a lot of Russian bad
management chickens are coming
home to roost. What in reality
should be fine and formidable
armada is made practically useless
by various sins of omission extend
ing over long period of time.
At bottom, there is the Russian
habit of planning magnificent things
in st. Petersburg bureaus, writing
orders out in proper form and then
not seeing whether or not they are
carried out
The best ships of the Russian
navy, including the Retvisan,
Czarevitch, Boyarin, Variag, Bogatyr
and Novik, were built abroad, but
about four years ago the Russian adj
ministration, naturally enough, con
cluded that il would be better policy
to have them built at home
Forthwith, without further con
sideration, foreign bids were re-
jected and enormous orders placed
with such shipyards as there were
in the Neva. The best of these
yards, the Baltic iron works, was
a private concern, largely controlled
by English capitalists. The idea that
Englishmen should be building Rus
sian warships, even on the Neva.
was repugnant to st. Petersburg or
flcialdom and the government pro-
ceeded To buy out all the private
stockholders, without considering
whether or not they had any men
capable of continuing the business.
What they did do was to put in
naval officers as managers who had
any amount of theoretical Ideas, but
no practical experience. Even under
these circumstances two battleships
of the Borodino type were launched
in 1901, two in 1902 and one in
1903.
AS soon as these ships We're
launched, they appeared on the
Russian naval lists, as almost
ready while as matter of fact
they were mere shells.
The Neva Is an especially shallow
stream, and on this account ii was
necessary to launch the bulls In as
light condition as possible. They
We're then towed down to Kronstadt
for their boilers, machinery. armor
plate, guns and all equipment.
To-day, the battleship Alexander
Ill, which was launched in August,
1901, is still incomplete. and the
porodino, launched in September.
1908, is in a similar condition.
When orders came for preparing
the fleet for immediate departure to
the Far East it was discovered that
such things were missing as cleo
trical equipment, some of the minor
machinery for turning turrets, for
ammunition hoists, and things of
that sort.
The Orel and the Osliba were
still more backward, and, almost at
once, the Orel had the misfortune
20 run so seriously aground that her
guns had to be taken off and large
part of her armor plate as well, be-
fore she could be relocated. Today
she represents a state of construc-
tion about halfway toward compile
tion
Three old battleships. the Nava-
ran, the Sissoi Velliky and the Alex
ander III. are ready to sail, but these
boats are so old-fashioned that they
would serve no other purpose than
targets for the Japanese.
In this condition Admiral Rozh-
destvensky admits that he will have
to stick TO the Baltic, at least until
September, and his friends know

LAUNCH ACCIDENT CAUSES DEATH
Of A WELL KNOWN TACOMA MAN

on the bridge struck Mr.. Nicholson
on the head, and lower girder
struck him in the stomach, the latter
infiicting the injuries which caused
death.
w. L. Kirby, manager of the Navi-
cation company, and Charles Bart
lett at once went to the rescue of the
injured man and brought him to
shore. At that time it was not believ-
ed he was severely hurt, though he
stated that he thought his time to
meet death had come. Dr. E. NJ.
Brown was called and made an eX-
animation of the mans injuries. 1t
was found that he was in very
critical condition. He was removed
to the Fannie Paddock hospital and
an examination disclosed the fact
that his stomach was torn open.
An operation at once was decided
upon as the only chance for saving
the mans life. The shock was too
great, however, and soon after the
operation was concluded he passed
away.
Mr. Nicholson was a we'll known
machinist. He leaves wife and five
children.
