COMM slONEas WILL NOT RE-
WYE DONATION TO HOME
FINDING ASSOCIATION.
Spokane Deputy County Attorne,
Writes Letter to County Attor-
ney Wilson Relative to Matter

The county commissioners yesterday
on the advice of County Attorney
Wilson decided not to resume the
monthly contributions of SIS to the
Northwestern Home Finding associa-
ton until such time as the affairs Of
the institution are given a thorough
office at Spokane or some one vested
with the power to look into the charges
of mismanagement and graft filed
against Superintendent j. w. Will
liams by the Spokane grand jury.
In letter to County Attorney Will
son, A. J. Langhon, deputy attorney
Of Spokane county, gives an account
of the investigation into the affairs
of the Home Finding association and
the report of the grand jury which in
part is as follows:
"On July 2S 1905, a complaint was
filed with the prosecuting attorney of
Spokane county, charging irregulari-
ties in the management of the North
western Home Finding association.
This complaint was referred by this
office to the grand Jury while the same
was in session, and on August 1, 1905,
the clerk of the grand jury notified
the complainant that the matter there
in complained of would be taken up
in it's order and investigated. There
after the affairs of this society were
investigated by the grand jury, and
several witnesses, including J. W..
Williams, the superintendent; his
wife, the bookkeeper, together with
Prof. H. c.. Blair and Rev. B. E. Utz
of this city, two of the trustees Of
the institution: Rev. A. Y. Skee, a
minister of the gospel and H. G. In
gram. a former employee, were exam
ined. 1t is not necessary to state
what the testimony upon this exam
ination showed in reference to the
management Of the institution. 1t is
sufficient to quote from the report of
the grand jury, which was filed on
September 9. 1905, and is now a part
of the records of the county clerk of
Spokane county. The particular POI
ton of that report referring to this
matter I quote in the EXIT language
of the report as follows:
I'm the case of the Northwestern
Home Finding association the jury
find that the manager of the associa-
ton has grossly Incorporated the
funds of the society; that his account
books are not properly kept. The
jury instructed the prosecuting at
torney to make an application to the
courts for the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the association.

CONFESSES CRIME.
Trial of Baron Won kutzIeben Begins
a. Marengo.

| MARENGO, Iowa, Nov. Barron
was placed on trial here yesterday for
murder in the first degree. He is
| charged with having deliberately
wrecked the fastest train On the Rock
Island, No. A., last March, and he
has confessed to the crime.
His aged mother, said to be worth
81 900, 900. mas come all the way from
Germany to be with her son through
the trial. She sat with him all day
yesterday listening intently to the
challenging of jurors. Though neither
could understand a word that was
being uttered by the attorneys, both
watched every move of the case.
In outlining the evidence the state
will bring out, Attorney Carroll
Wright, counsel for the Rock Island
system, said that the case is prob
ably the most peculiar that has ever
come up in the annals Of railway
wrecks. Kutzleben had deliberately
wrecked a fast train on a big grade at
3 o'clock in the morning, according to
his own story for no other reason
than to satisfy his curiosity as to
what a wreck would look like after
night He said in his confession
given out after the railway wreck by
the company as an explanation to the
public:
Il was not more than five minutes
thinking the thing out. I knew that
No. Al was coming soon, and went
out and pulled up number of spikes
from the rails. This left the rails
standing with nothing to hold them to
the ties. I was certain that the great
train of seven long cars would waver
and then roll over and over down the
embankment. Certainly this would be
a sight that any man would risk his
life to see. Probably 1 could never be
in wreck if 1 wanted to. no matter
how much I rode about
Kutzleben did not think of robbing
the train. He says that the wreck
was a great disappointment. The

embankment, stayed on the track.
Engineer A. c. Hotchkiss received
injuries from which he died later in
a hospital at Iowa City. His death

Home for Disabled Horses.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. THE
Kentucky Humane society, which met
here today for it's regular annual meet
ing, will consider a unique plan, the
like of which has probably never been
under considerat on in any country. A
plan is to be considered for establish
ing a retreat for aged and infirm
horses. During the year just closed
the society, which now mas more than
$50 members, has cared for more than
5000 horses and other animals. At
present the society has no funds for
the establishment of a home for de-
crepit horses, but it is hoped that lib
eral contributions to such a fund will
be forthcoming when required.

COCKTAIL At THREE FORKS
Decoction That Was Too Much for
Cowboys and the Mixer Had
to Drink It

II was standing in the barroom in .
resort at Three Forks" said travel
Ing man, waiting for the proprietor
to arrive, In the hope Of placing .
small order. While ! was waiting,
two cowboys, wrapped in fur coats,
their own dignity and reputation as
the top riders of the country which
stretches away toward the head Of
Willow Creek, came into the saloon
and, marching up to the bar, demand
ed cocktail.
THE bartender looked nonplussed
for . moment, but he was not to be
shut out, 80 he grabbed the biggest
glass he could hnd behind the bar and
Immediately got busy. II there was
anything there he missed putting into
that glass, from the salt and pepper
sauce used to flavor the beer, to the
snippings from the ends of the cigars
which he found in the cigar cutter,
could not sec It, and when he had
finally finished he had two big bee-
glasses full Of the mixture.
The boys both tasted the beverage
and 1t did not taste good. Each had
unlimbered big gun and, playfully
toying with the weapons, they sug-
gested that the bartender drink his
own mixture. 1t required some per-
suasion, but finally, to avoid trouble.
he swallowed the contents OF both
glasses. Now, make yoHr will, You
would-be poisoner,' shouted the punch
ers, and solemnly they put their guns
back where they belonged, treated the
house to the cigars and faded away
into the distance, their horses hitting
only the high spots as they disap-
peared up the valley.
And tell you, the impromptu bar
tender had good occasion to make his
will. For three or four hours he was
the sickest man ever saw. and It
took the services of doctor, who
worked over him for an hour or two,
to bring him back to life again."
