CREDITORS OF JOHN MoREHEAD
ATTEMPT TO COLLECT THEIR
MONEY.
File Affidavts That Moorehead Has
$4,000 on Deposit in the Sunny
side Bank.

S. F. Patton and F. A. Fender OF
WaitSburg, creditors of John Moore
head the defaulting Prescott thresh-
erman, filed affidavits in the superior
court today stating that they be-
lieve that Moorehead has on de-
posit in the Sunnyside bank at Sun
nyside, Washington, the sum of $4,000
1t is alleged that Moorehead turned
this money over to brother, Ed
ward Moorehead and that it is now
deposited in his name. The Sunny
side bank will probably be made
a defendant in the garnishment pro-
ceedings being prosecuted by Moore
heads creditors. In his affidavit Mr..
Patton says that he is a creditor of
Mooreheads to the amount of $590.60.
Mr.. Fender says Moorehead owes
him the trif1ng sum of 1898.
Moorehead is the thresherman who
fled from Prescott last September
without liquidating numerous bills
contracted while operating a tnresh-
ing outfit in the Prescott and Waits
burg districts. The heaviest credi-
tors are merchants of Prescott and
Waitsburg, and harvest hands who
failed to collect their wages.

CASKS IN POLAR SEAS,
Set Adrift by Geographical Society
They May Have Crossed Pole.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov AFTER
drifting thousands of miles over
Arctic seas, two casks set adrift years
ago by agents of the Geographical So
ciety have been recovered on the
northern coasts. Cablegrams an
nouncing their discovery were read to
members of the association by Sir
Henry G. Bryant at a meeting in
Witherspoon hall last night.
The casks were set adrift in 1899
and 1901, at the suggestion of Ad-
miral Melville that casks containing
literature in various languages be set
adrift from the farthest northern
points reached by explorers 1t is
believed by Admiral Melville that one
Of the casks passed directly over the
polar cap. 1t was discovered two
weeks ago on the shore of the north
ern part of Siberia, 95 miles northwest
of Randall's island, having drifted $50
miles in southeasterly direction.

Oklahoma Federation of Women
Clubs In Session.

OKLAHOMA. CITY, Okla, Nov. T.
Delegates from the various Women's
clubs in Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory are assembled here to attend the
annual meeting of the Territorial
Federation of Women's clubs which
opened mere today. The meeting was
originally to be held tomorrow at
Lawton, but, after all arrangements
had been made it was discovered,
that on the same day the Southern
Methodist Episcopal conference would
be held at Lawton. AS it would have
been a too severe tax upon the ac-
commodations of Lawton to harbor
two conventions on the same day, Ok
lahoma City offered to take one of the
conventions, that of the Federation OF
Womens clubs, off the city's hands.
The offer was accepted, with the un-
derstanding that next year the fedora
ton would meet at LawtOn.

to the fusion ticket, but Schmitz
workers are more in evidence at the
polls. The trades council has de-
clared a holiday and will fine all un-
ion men who work today This will
insure almost a complete vote of
organized labor for the union labor
candidates. Voting machines are in
use all over the city for the first
time. Voters mad trouble in manipu-
lating the machines, causing some
delay in registering votes. So far the
election has been very quiet, there
being only one arrest for disturb
ances. There is no change in the
betting. Schmitz is still the favor
ite at odds of ten to six.
At 2:30 this afternoon John B. Coh-
Ian, personal representative of Mr..
Partridge in the campaign, said that
advices from the various precincts
throughout the city warrant him in
claiming the election for Partridge
over Schmitz by a majority of at
least 10000.

PRESCOTT Wash, Nov. THE
proposition to bond the city of
Prescott in the sum of $500, to build
a new gravity water system was car
ried by an overwhelming majority at
the special election held yesterday.
The vote When counted last night
stood 81 for the issuance Of bonds
and only against. People here are
pleased at the outcome of the cleo
ton, it assures to Prescott a fine
water supply, something that has
been badly needed for years. The
work of installing the system will be
commenced Immediately. The city
bought an acre of ground near
sank a we'll eight feet deep, devel-
oping a fine supply of water. The fiji st
of September, just before the fall
rains set in, the we'll was given an
exhaustive test. A big engine and a
powerful pump were worked for
two DAYS and nights without low
ering the supply in the least. An
average of 10000 gallons a day was
pumped. The main pipe from the we'll
to Prescott will be of wood and will
cost about $4,000 A fall Of 65 feet to
the highest point in Prescott can
be obtained, assuring a splendid pres
sure. A surveyor and engineer has
been employed and he will superin-
tend the installation of the system 1or
$500.

the convention among the farmers
OF Walla Walla county and in addi-
ton to the good road enthusiasts
that have promised to come from
other counties, the meeting gives
promise of being the most success
full one ever held in eastern Wash
ington.
The subject of using convict labor
on the public roads will be one of
the important subjects taken up for
discussion, and effort will be made
to get the people throughout the state
interested in the movement. John B.
Catron is very enthusiastic over the
subject and he hopes to have con-
siderable data and other information
showing how convicts are EMPLOYED
in road building in other states.
The program for the convention in
cludes numerous addresses by prom
inent speakers of the northwest who
have made road building a study
and many able discourses on the diff
ferent methods employed throughout
the United States will probably be
explained to the delegates.

Murderous Assaults in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-Two
murders already and 200 prisoners In
cells held incomunicado early this
morning mark the beginning of what
promises to be the bloodiest election
day in the history of Philadelphia.
All information regarding the mur-
ders and arrests is denied at the city
hall. Sheriff Miles has sworn in no
deputies, but has left the protection
of the city to the mayor. City party
leaders are condemning the actions
of the special policemen sworn in by
the mayor, Of whom there are about
1000. In one ward a prominent old
intimidating a city party voter and
was dragged through the streets and
thrown into a cell with negroes. In
another ward a man was arrested
for saying that he mad lost his nat
uralization papers. Every voter was
challenged and forced to prove his
eligibility to vote.
On a writ of habeas corpus Ma
loney was taken before Magistrate
Eisenbrown and held under $500
bond for further hearing. When Will
liam Slattery tried to vote police
man beat him until pedestrians inter-
fered. There was a reign of terror in
the Fifth ward, even election officials
being frightened. There is little
doubt that the election will be taken
into the courts for final determina-
ton.
Harbor Master Samuel c. Maloney,
Magistrate James Fealy, ex-Lieuten-
ant of Police James Carry, republi-
can leaders, have been arrested, but
their friends are unable to learn where
they have been taken. So far dozen
polling places have been closed and
the election officers have appealed
to the courts for protection. In one
place the booths We're wrecked. All
the distorder is in the wards where
the machine republicans are con-
ceded to be in the majority. Riot
calls were turned in and the po-
lice appeared to arrest everyone at
the polls. Mayor Weaver, it is re-
ported, stopped at Wilmington
train loaded with repeaters en- route
to this city.
