The eastern newspapers have a good
deal to say of late over the appoint
ment of bat" MaterSon, the western
frontierSman, ex-cowboy, sheriff, mar
Shall, and all round killer OF bad men,
to the position of deputy United States
marshal Of New York state. The APP
pointmcnt came through Roosevelt.
Materson has Il record of t%wenty-Sevcn
Killings, but all OF them either in self
defense or in the discharge of his Off
cial duties while living his exciting
career on the western frontier. A
sketch of his life reads more like Il
yellow-back dime novel romance than
reality. For the past few years several
writer's of magazine stories have writ
ten up in Il most attractive manner
stories of his adventures. The Feb
ruary number of the Metropolitan
contained n of the best of then that
has yet appeared.

WAlLA WALlA CONVICT FOuND
At SHEEP CAMP ON SALMON
RIVER.
Brought Back to Penitentiary Last
Night and Turned Over to War.
den KEGS.

Bert Taylor, the convict who es-
capped from the penitentiary several
days ago, is again behind the bars at
the institution and all the good time
that he has earned on his sentence
has been taken away. He was cap
tured Sunday evening on Salmon riv-
er in Oregon, about 60 miles from
Walla Walla, by ex-Sheriff Slime,
Judge c.. F. Miller and other persons
from Dayton. The party came upon
Taylor about o'clock Sunday evening
at the Magallon sheep camp, which
place he had reached several hours
previous to his capture. He was TAX
en- to Dayton Monday and brought to
Walla Walla last night on the w. &
r. c. train.
According to Taylor's statement,
which he made to the officers, when he
escaped from the prison he went to
the Bruce Ferrel farm where he picked
up horse. He went up Mill creek
and struck across the mountains, TAX
ing one of the trails, which he fol-
lowed until he reached the sheep
camp. He expected to reach some
friends further up the river and Sc
cure horses so that he could make his
way to British Columbia.

CHIEF BROWN INsTRUcTs LAND.
LADY OF NO. IS TO SHUT UP
SHOP.
Alleged That Sheriff Painter Was
Ready to Act-End Of Sen.
sationaI Robbery Case.

No. As Rose street, one of the most
notorious resorts in the redlight dis
trict, was closed by Chief of Police
Brown last night and the landlady,
Kitty West, was ordered to leave
town. The closing down of this
resort is the outcome of several rob-
berries that have been committed in
the place within the past three months
which eliminated in a German har-
vest hand losing $50 in gold few
nights ago. The touch was made by
Amelia Moran, woman in the place,
who has since fed the town to es-
cape arrest.
Whether Chief Brown took the mi
tiative in closing No. As is a state Sc
cret Sheriff Painter, VINO held a
warrant for the arrest of the Moran
woman, was so chagrined when he
learned that the woman had been
warned to get out of town that he
intimated to the police that if this
resort was not closed up at once he
would take matters into his own
hands and see that this robbers
roost" was closed. 1t was learned last
night that Sheriff Painter held a con-
ference with Prosecuting Attorney
Wilson and it is said the subject under
discussion was the lack of diligence
being displayed by the police in en-
forcing several state laws that are
being openly violated in Walla Walla.
The presence of 25 or 30 "macques"
and disreputable characters in town
has become SO obnoxious to decent
people that complaints have been fire.
