there We're troops arriving with sup
plies or reserves coming up, and this
was particularly the case around the
towns of kazan and Semara. Outside
such centres the ignorance OF the

may be induced to run as an independ-
ent republican candidate for senator
against T. A. Hunter, the nominee of
the Mead and anti-Wilson faction.
Many of the most prominent men of
the party declare that they cannot
stand the tactics employed by the rail-
road and Mead forces in the conven-
ton, and seem only too glad that a
movement has been started to nomin-
ate an Independent ticket which they
can support without compromising
themselves with the doctrines of the
republican party.
The fact is that the republican party
! in WhatcOm county, is split in twain.
and the prospects of democratic sue
cess are the very best because more
than half of the republicans are utter

by the influences which dominate the

FOUND DEAD IN A DITCH
Frank kohois Supposed to Have Been
Killed by Train.

TACOMA. Wash, Oct. 1.-THE dead
body of Frank koholis was found lying
in the ditch aonbside the Northern
Pacific track about three miles west
Of Puyallup, by S. J. Modern. a section
foreman who was on his way to work.
The body was cut about the head, and
chest and it was evident that koholis
mad either fallen from a train or been
struck by a locomotive while walking
dicatons of foul play and after Deputy
Coroner Bellinger had made an inVeS-
tigation Coroner Brown decided an in
quest unnecessary.
The Identification of Koholis was
established from letters found in his
pockets From one of these it Was
learned that he had been in Seattle on
April 80 There was also an undated
Slip bearing the address Gle Elum, but
nothing was found TO tell where the
man had been employed just before he
met his death. From his appearance
koholis was probably a coal miner and
is supposed to have come down from
some of the mines about Gle Elum. He
was about 80 years of age.
When the body was picked up a
watch in one Of the pockets was still
running and from this it is believed
that the discovery was made shortly
after the tragedy occurred.
