An overwhelming desire to spill
somebody's blood landed John Nc

in the city Jail last night on a charge
of carrying concealed weapons. An
other charge of threatening great
bodily harm may be filed after the
charge Of carrying concealed weap-
ons is disposed of in the police court
this evening.

Johnson late last night after he shot up
the premises of Mrs. Mary McFaul, an
aunt of his living west of Walla Wal
la on the road to College Place. Mrs
McFauls, accompanied by her daugh-

complaining of the actions of her
nephew.
McFauls' desire to perforate some
one is said to have been caused by
his affection for his cousin. A former
sweetheart of the young lady arrived
from Nebraska a few days ago and
McFauls, it is said, became jealous.
Last night he was drinking heavily
and went on a still hunt with his gun.
Before the police arrived he had fired
nine shots around the house, terroriz-
ing the family and neighbors in the
vicinity. The Nebraska lover and Miss
McFauls, it is said, fled from the
spent the night at a neighbours house.

now placed between $500 and s3ooo
is less than was at first estimated
A portion of this amount is being
borne by the state, and an endeayor is
pelng made to have the next session
or the legislature work to have tho
state meet the entire expense.
In view of the fact that Attorney

to the suit, it is generally held that the
matter of the survey is settled and that
the order of Judge Ellis, ordering the
