SAYS HE KILLED HAYDEN.

A recent newspaper dispatch from
Garfield says:
A response to letter of inquiry
has been received by j. b. Hayden of
this place from the chief of police of
Omaha, stating that the report of one
P. S. Free having confessed to the
Omaha police to the murder of Orville
Hayden at Pennington seven years ago
was true in every respect Free, or
Dakota Slim, as he was known here
then, was arrested at the time of the
murder as an accomplice, but was
later cleared Of the charge. He has
made full confession to the police of
Omaha and is now being held await
ing advice from the Whitman county
sheriff. 1t is not known here what
action the sheriff will take.
Old timers will remember that
"Blackie" and "Slim" were arrested
for the murder of Hayden and tried
before Judge Mcdonald at Colfax.
The judge at that time was not in the
good books of the people of the county
and the consequences were that mob
raided the county Jail at Colfax and
lynched Blackie, F" tying rope
around his neck and throwing him out
of the court house window.
Slim" would have met with a
similar fate but he blocked the lock on
his cell door. He was shot at and
wounded slightly, but feigned death
and thus escaped the mob He was
permitted to leave the jail on the
strength of "Blackie's" so-called
confession.

'BEST FARM LAND
ON TOP OF EARTH
Opinion of an Expert on the Char
acter of Palouse Farm
Land

A testimonial to the character of
the farming land of the Palouse coun-
try is found in the recent letter of
Prof. w. ]. Spillman, who now has
general supervision over governmental
experimental stations in the United
States, and who has recently been en-
gagged in getting up statistical report
on land values and increases of value
his duties taking him personally to
every farming district in the United
States. He recently wrote Attorney
Harvey regarding present values here,
and the following letter was this week
received by Mr.. Harvey in reply:
Dear Mr.. Harvey: 1 thank you
very much for your letter of December
IL. 1t contained just the information
l wanted. am delighted to learn
of the increase in farm values since
left there. After travelling all over the
United States am ready to say that
l have seen nothing which can claim
superiority over the Palouse country.
1t can not be many years until good
farm lands in that section will bring
500 an acre. 1t is just as good as
land in Illinois and Iowa that is selling
for twice that much. The general
range of values of farm lands in the
states mentioned is $120 to $125 an
acre, but good land in choice locations
and with good improvements, frequent
ly brings 5000 an acre.
With kindest regards and the COM
pliments of the season to all, I am
very sincerity yours,
w. ]. Spillman, Agriculturist F."

A Swede with various aliases
such as Peter Erickson, j. Brown and
: A. Brannan is now langushing in the
county Jail as the result of an over
powering desire to fleece living out
of the people. The man drew a draft
on a Tacoma bank for $1O0, which he
presented at the First National here,
but was refused the cash on it, the
bank taking the draft for collection and
giving he Stranger receip for it. On
the strength of the receipt the man
of many names attempted to secure
credit at local stores. Getting carpen-
ter tools at the Pullman Hardware
store to the value of $5.25 he then
pawned the tools at Watts for So,
being So to the good through this
transaction. Gathered in by the city
marshal, Brannan- Brown Erickson ct
al was given a sentence of 80 days in

The strange case of George d. Col
Inns. who in the face of the public rec
ords that directly controvert his state
ments. declares that the woman who
claims to be his lawful wife never was
such, and who, despite the records that
showed him to be already married, took
unto himself another bride. is still mys-
tifying the friends and acquaintances
of the parties concerned and the public
in general. Though every public rec
ord necessary to establish the union Of
people who become man and wife de-
clares that Collins welded Charlotte
Eugene Newman, he still asserts that
he can prove, when the matter is
brought into court, that she is not and
never was his wife. He says the rec
ords will stand for naught and denies
having any knowledge of them save
from hearsay.
A lawyer who. has built his reputa-
ton on the freeing of accused persons
by technicalities. Collins proposed de-
Tense in this case, from all the utter
ances made by him, seems apparent.
He has laid great stress on the fact
that it was Agnes Newman who was
recognized by tradespeople and in fact,
nearly all who knew him and the
Wv mans oS Ills Wi1C dllQ lUdt S1dl-
lotte herself recognized her as such.
1t seems certain that he will try TO
prove that by acknowledging Agnes as
the wife Of Collins. Charlotte is es-
topped from asserting her claim as
such, and that the recognition by a
great number of people of Agnes as his
wife constitutes common law mar
riage. That the records in black and
white showing the marriage of Col
lins and Charlotte Newman will not
be considered by the court after it
hears the testimony on these lines that
he will introduce is evidently his firm
belief
Your contention is that If she ac-
knowledged Agnes as your wife, Char
lctte relinquished all her claim as
such?" was suggested to Collins last
night.
SAYS CHARLOTTE is BARRED.
How could she relinquish any right
she never possessed ?'' asked Collins
quickly. She doesn't relinquish any
thing; she is estopped from making
any claim to be my wife,
Thus it seems that this lawyer would
advance a case in which all the rec
