JUDGE RIGGS DECIDED AT PASCO
TODAY THAT HE HAD NO JUR-
ISDICTION.
WaIIa WaIIa Boy Convicted Of MUIR
der in First Degree Taken to
Franklin County.

Special to the Evening Statesman:
PASCO, Wash, Nov. Oscar Brad
shaw, who was brought TO Pasco last
night by Sheriff Eubanks, was not re-
sentenced today. The matter was
called up in the court on the appli-
cation of the county attorney, who ask
ed that Bradshaw be resentenced un-
der the former conviction of murder
in the first degree. Judge Riggs re-
fused the application, giving as his
reason that Bradshay had appealed
to the state supreme court, and as
that tribunal had not decided the ap-
peal, the court had no jurisdiction.
Bradshaw was convicted at Pasco.
August, 1902, of murder in the first
degree for the killing of Peter Nell
son, a Swede farm hand. Bradshaw
and a companion, William Kellet, at
tempted to rob Nelson in a box car
at Pasco in July, 1902. Nelson re-
sisted and was shot through the alb
domen, dying at ST. Mary's hospital
several hours later following an opera
ton for the removal of the bullet. At
the subsequent trial of the two men at
Pasco, Kellet pleaded guilty to muir
der in the second degree and was sem
fenced to 20 years in the penitentiary.
Bradshaw was convicted Of murder
in the first degree and was sentenced
to be hanged in February, 1908, but
his attorneys secured stay of exc
cution through an appeal to the su-
preme court.
Through some misunderstanding
Bradshaw's appeal to the supreme
court was never perfected and since
August, 1892, he has lain in the Walla
Walla Jail.

title to the Roberts ranch on the
south fork of the Walla Walla river.
L. w. Roberts was today notified by
the receiver of the La Grandet land
office that the case had been decided
in favor of the heirs. The case was
bitterly contested and required nu-
merous witnesses to attend the trial at
La Grande last month.
Lucas, in mis- complaint contesting
and abandonment, claiming that the
late E. G. Roberts had never estab-
lished his residence there during his
lifetime and that the heirs had never
lived up to the law. It was also al
legged that the place was being held
for speculative purposes, reference be-
ing made to the improvements on the
ranch placed there by the North
western Gas and Electric company
in the shape of a big dam and intake
for the company's barrel f1urne, con-
veying water to the power plant, five
miles further down the stream.
The heirs had little difficulty dis
proving the allegations of the con-
testant, although it necessitated con-
outlay to defend the action,
as the case was tried at La Grande.
The Roberts ranch is one of the
most valuable on the south fork of
the river and is popular among sum-
mer campers, who spend several weeks
there eacn year. The big dam and
intake of the gas and electric COM
pany's plant is located on the ranch
and there is some talk of the North
western company installing big
power plant on the ranch.

Anarchy Is General.

CHICAGO, Ills, Nov. 2-The Daily
News correspondent cables that the
constitutionalists lost several lead
ers in today's riots. Professors Mag

wounds. One hundred and thirty stu
dents and many workmen were killed
or wounded. The government has lost
millions of supporters and has dug
a deeper chasm between the czar and
the people. The moderates who yes
terday supported the government to-
dav ioined the demonstrations of the
people. Cossacks were active all
day pursuing, and cabering the masses
who were dispersed only to assem-

She was leaking badly. There is prac-

and was caught. The Monterey

smallest catch of this season.
