Told Elmer Eusha lie Killed Judge and
Mrs. A. J. Lewis.

WI . - ~ ECWios
e. R. Garry, young man who is
quite Will known in the Big Bend
country is said to have confessed to
the crime of the murder of Judge and
Mrs. A. J. Lewis in cold blood on the
night of December 10, 1902 at their
home near Almira, Washington.
After a struggle the murderer
brained the old man with an AK. He
found Mrs. Lewis in the stock corral
and the beat her to death with a club.
Word was brought to DR.. Lewis, of
Wilbur, a brother of the late Judge
Lewis, that a man at Hartline had
made c onfession of the crime. Sc
curing pair of handouts and being
already constituted a deputy sheriff,
DR.. Lewis left in quest of the man to
whom the confession had been made.
He found Elmer Busha, the man to
whom Garry is alleged to have made
the confession.
DR.. Lewis says: "Mr. Busha claims
that E. r. Garry and he had been
drinking some in saloon when Garry
became confidential and told him that
he was the one who killed Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis. He said it nearly drove
him crazy sometimes, and he could
hear the screams of the woman yet,
which hurt him more than ANYTHING
else. He broke down crying during
the narration. He told Mr.. Busha
that he did the deed for money with
which to get a start in this world, but
that he did not get any.
"Busha said that when Garry finish
ed telling him of the deed he remark
ed: My mind is relieved now, and
he Immediately laughed like maniac.
The crying and the laughing were both
by the bartender.
"Busha could not be persuaded to
accompany me back to Maritime until
ne had been armed with gun, claim
ng Garry had threatened his life if he
'ver exposed him.
Young Garry came to this section
several years ago and has worked at
7arlous vocations in the Wilbur Sec
ion, where he always bore a good
equation. Suspicion has never rested
lpon him in connection with crime.
nd people were almost dumfounded
Vhen they learned who the confessor
vas to such heinous crime.
When arrested in Maritime by DIR.
iewis, Garry denied ever making the
onfession, and steadfastly affirmed
hat 1t was not true.

Anarchy
Is the Word

st. Petersburg, Jan. "a. 1890 a. m.
Tine city of st. Petersburg is in a
state of anarchy. While the principal
streets are quiet at this hour, barring
minor clashes and outbreaks, d" hell -
has broken loose in the suburbs.
Hoodlums have taken up the work
left undone by the strikers and are
wrecking and pillaging all shops
which they find without the protection
of barbados.
Between 8 o'clockla last night and this
hour bombs have been thrown, soldiers
and strikers have torn limb from limb
by dynamite charges, and, according
to reports which it is impossible to
verify at this time, one regiment at
least has mutinied and fired upon an
other which remained loyal to the
car.
Small sized riots have occurred with
in the last few hours in the neighbor-
hood of the palace square, but they
were mainly due to unruliness Of small
bands of roughs, who are being quickly
suppressed as they come out in the
open, and whose doings cannot In any
way be identified with the strike move
ment. The most dramatic scene of the
night occurred between and IL
o. CLOCK, when a squad of soldiers met
a crowd at two street corners and or
dered them to move on. They refused
to do so and an officer with a battalion
of infantry Appeared TO enforce the
command. Suddenly q round object
came flying through the air and falling
to the ground in the very midst of the
soldiers. exploded With deafening re-
port
When the dense smoke which fol-
lowed the explosion had cleared away
more than 10 soldiers were lying in
heir own blood mMgled in horrible
manner. Nearly b. lay the bodies of
several strikers who had paid the PEN
lily OF the crime. The report that
Vormen from QUILTING provinces are
marching upon theeity has thrown the
'rlstocratlc element into q state of
'anlc. Soldiers areO On their way in all
llrectlons to meet these advancing
'odeis, it is reported, and it is likely
hat serious clashes have alerady oc-
urred. All train sevice between Mos
ow and st. Petersburg has been sus-
'ended and every trim which reaches
he city from and direction is guarded

The practice of making presents on
