CONFESSION BARRED.
State Concluded Its Testimony Thursday, Court Refused Admission of lightIe's
 Deatfbed Confession.

Mariana, Oct. 13. After eX- amining ten witnesses, the state yesterday rested in the trial of desecrating a grave. Kay Deem CT and Dandridg Medley were on the stand during the entire morning session. They told how they followed the defendant, Walter Gregory, and Dr. Lightle to the cemetery on the night of the robbery of Ed Pitts grave and the alleged subsequent ad- mission by Roberts and Gregory that they went to the cemetery for the purpose of securing a corpse to use for dissecting pur- poses and later how Roberts of- fered them $500 to keep their mouths shut. They also recited their former testimony as to statements made by them by the alleged conspirators regarding the S21, 1000 insurance. money they would receive.
 REPORTED DEATHBED CONFES-
 SION BARRED.
 The last witness called by the state was w. P. Martin a prom inent business man of Searcy. He lived one block from Mrs. Lightle, the mother of Dr. K. C. Ligh,le, and spent several days with Dr. Lightle during the ill., ness that resulted in his death last February. He was with Lightle thirty minutes before his death. He was asked by Con- gressman Brundidge to tell the jury what Dr. Lightle said to him on his deathbed regarding his and John Roberts connec- tion with the grave robbery and the conspiracy to swindle the life insurance companies out of $21,- GOO, and what Lightle said re- garding a request Roberts made to him relative to getting $500 from Lightle's relatives to use in attempting to corrupt court officials.
 Mir. Martin was about to begin his story when Col. George w. Murphy sprang to his feet, say ing: We object. The defense objected on the ground that the testimony was incompetent and illegal.
 The court sustained the objec- tion, and what gave promise of being the most sensational fea- ture of the case was knocked higher than Gilroy's famous kite. The case will go to the jury some time Saturday morn ing.
 Roberts will attempt to prove an alibi,

A Trip to Richland.


A trip to our neighboring town,
R1chland, yesterday disclosed some
interesting facts about that prom
lslng and beautiful town ON the
Columbia.
NEW RAILROAD
Three careful surveys have been
made by the North Coast Railway
engineers recently with a view to
crossing the Columbia river at
point adjoining the townsite on
the north; and the levels run and
soundings taken indicate this as a
favorable place for the construction
OF the bridge. In fact, the North
ern Pacific In an early day surveyed
to this point for their crossing, but
were induced by a more favorable
land grant to cross lower down at
Kennewick. The idea of the sur
veyors was that there would be
immediate construction work on
the road as far as Walla Walla.
The building of the bridge at this
point would give great impetus to
the town, as bridge gang of 50 to
100 men would be engaged at that
work alone for the next year or IS
morths. The town would then
have excellent connections by rail
with the markets they desire to
reach.
The irrigation canal has now
been completed and tested with a
flow of water and is in first class
shape. The character of the soil
through which the ditch runs for
the greater part of the distance is
such that no trouble will be had
with breaks in the banks, while
those points where the great seep-
age and waste were troublesome
the past summer have been puddled
under the supervision of competent
men and are now in satisfactory
shape.
Posr OFFICE FULLY EQUIPPED
w. R. Lamb, who runs an up-to-
date general merchandising busi-
ness here, has received his commits.
sion as postmaster. His post Office
fixtures, including mail boxes, etc.
arrived during the past week and

the Office will be served by carrie,

Growth of Benton County.

Few sections of Washington are
making more rapid growth or per-
manent improvements than tie ir-
rlgated sections of Benton county.
The irrigated sections are filling up
with farmers and fruitgrowers, and
truitgrowers and the wheat lands
of the Horse Heaven and Rattle
snake hills are keeping pace with
the irrigated lands in point of de-
velopment and settlement The
acreage of fall sown wheat now in
the ground in Horse Heaven is
more than double the total acreage
of the entire district this year, and
a large acreage will be planted next
spring. The fall has been the most
favorable known here. Early rains
placed the soil il good condition
for plowing and sowing, and thou
sands Of acres were early planted
to wheat. This gralu is now up
several inches and has made fine
growth. The rainfall in the Horse
Heaven this fall has been greater
than the rainfall for auy entire
year since the first wheat crop was
planted in the district. Farmers
feel certain that their fall sown
will be harvested in June, which
will be before the hot weather, and
it is thought that a big yield of fall
wheat is certain.
Last year the total production of
wheat in Horse Heaven was esti-
mated at from $50, 900 to 100000
bushels. The crop of 1905 was es-
timated at 100000 bushels. The
estimates made for next year run
as high as 1000, 900 bushels for
the district.
While late frosts and the hot
wave of July cut all crops short in
this section this year, it is doubt
ful if any district in the state has
produced more wealth, acreage con
sidered than the land embraced in
Benton county. While the fruit
crop is not so good as last year, and
by some is estimated at 40 per cent
below the yield of 1904, the price
is higher and big profits are made
by the fruit growers of this dis
trict.-Review.

[. $ 4. Physicians Have A Collection Made from
 Local Subjects

If you have ever been in the C. & A Hospital with part of you out of gear it may prove interesting to drop around to the offices of the physicians of the company, and take look at the dam age that was and then look at the re pair work as perfected beneath the surface of your physical being. Records of broken bones and inter r,al Arrangements that come under care at the hospital are kept in the book records and also in photographic form. The photographs are made witl an X-ray machine employed by the phy- sicians. The results they have to show compose testimonial Of high value to the efficiency of the machine as well as to that of its operators.
 In the offices of the physicians there are now displayed a large number of these photographs, all of highly inter esting character. The range of sub jects covered is wide, from fractured Lones to minute particles buried deep in the flesh or in the bones of the body, to delicate arrangements of the va rious organs.
 The wide variety of ailments coming 3 under care at the hospital has made It possible to secure in the photographic record form a glimpse at almost any ailment to which one may be liable. The records are in consequence of high value in aiding in correct diagnos- is of new cases brought to hand, after having served their first purpose of es- tablishing the particular cause of trou- ble suffered by the original subject of the photograph.
 The photographs at the c. & A. phy- sicians' offices were made by Drs. Cav in and Bledsoe. Their machine is the only one in use in this portion of the Southwest. There are only two oth- CTS in the Territory, one at Phoenix and the other at Tucson.

SWARTZ MADE A
 HEALTHY HAUL GOt More Cash Than at First ThOught--- Refused to be Detained at Fl PdSO

Max Swartz. the peddler, who jump ed the town on Tuesday after having secured N&iIous sums of money from people with whom he had been doing business for several months, IS 5eliav- ed to be at San Antonio. Texas.
 Swartz was stopped by the police of Fl Paso when he arrived in that city from Bisbee on Wednesday morning. Yesterday local officers received such word from Fl Paso officers, along with the statement that they had endeaYor- ed 10 hold Swartz, but that he declined to be stopped. The officers tried to convince him that they could make him remain until called for from Bis bee, but Swartz would not have it that way, and they were obliged to turn him loose when he quoted law on the subject and threatened to bring civil action against them if he was detain- ed. He bought a ticket from Fl Paso to San Antonio. and said he was going to remain in the latter city.
 Swartz got away with considerably more money from people in this city than was at first thought. 1t has de- veloped that for some days before leav- ing town he was selling goods from his wagon at figures a good deal under cost price, and that for goods thus sold he made no returns to those from whom he purchased. In addition to money previously reported to have Eeen secured by him on the morning of his departure from town he got S10 from Wells-Fargo Agent Campbell and S5S from W 1T COodo a merchant m Naco Road. Several others about the city are said to have advanced him cash sums on the day of his departure, and it is believed that he left town with between $500 and s1,000 in cash in his pockets as the result of his crookedness.
