GOV. Douglas of Massachusetts has been
petitioned for the pardon of Everett L.
Willis, who several years ago attempted
10 rescue his brother Herbert, a prisoner
then I'm Charlestown state prison for the
murder OF Fred y. Strange near Taunton
in 1886
Everett is serving an indeterminate SEN
tence OF from 10 TO 20 years for his un-
successful attempt at Jail delivery.
Two revolvers were smuggled into the
Jail by Everett and the brothers attempt
ed TO shoot their way out They fought
desperately but were shot down. Herbert
falling with a mortal wound and Everett
dropping across the body OF his brother,
dangerously hurt.
Herbert Willis career In crime was a
dazzling series OF holdups which earned
for him the sobriquet "of the bike high
wayman"
The cold bloded murder OF Fred NJ.
Strange led to an abrupt conclusion of
his criminal career. He was only ~ years
old when Strange was shot on June -.
1896
The shooting occurred at Whites Four
corners near Taunton, and Willis had no
motive except anger AT Stranges refusal
TO yield up his bicycle.
A few days later Willis was heard from
on North sfain street this city. He enter
ed Dawson's athletic goods store to trade
i'm a bicycle. Mr.. Dawson knew that II
was a stolen wheel and locked the store
door intending 10 rold Willis for the po-
lice
Willis made daring exit by smashing
a big plate glass window and firing into
the crowd which had gathered outside.
on tho following morning he held up n
man in East Providence took his wheel
and rode To Taunton. I'm the meantime the
identity of the masked rider who had shot
Strange was learned. and on Aug s five
members OF the Taunton police went to
the fish market operated by Willis father
in that city and placed the boy for he
was only 10 years old. under arrest. As
usual. he had his revolver with him. and
I'm an instant he had IL out Before he was
able TO use IL, however. the officers had
grappled with him and Il took their COM
bined efforts 10 suhdue him. He later
confessed 10 shooting Strange and stated
in addition that he was the person who
had for months been terrorizing the peo-
pie OF Taunton and vicinity.
Willis also admitted the holdup Of a
man AT Westville. near Taunton. and

The water commission forces and the water meter gang

Engineer Tanning has declared emphaticay against
the Stage reservoir sethe site chosen by the water
commission which recommended water meters instead of

This statement given out by the best of authority
this afternoon. 1t is of the important sections of
Engineer Fanning's report which is practically
peted.
Mr.. Tanning will ask that meeting of the city
Gil be called for next Monday night. AT that time he will
submit his report which declares the Stage SITE selected
by the water commission and the gang to be
impracticabe.
Although not definitely stated, it is rumored that Mr.
flaming will declare in favor of the Cliff Park site and
the plans proposed by City Engineer Gill.
This will be great victory for the city engineer whose
plans have been assaed for political and personal
The Spokesman Review whose bitter attacks upon the
city engineer has that official many friends and SYM
pathzers again goes down defeat with the water meter

In his report to be made Monday night Engineer Fan

and manner combines the best ideas of the two sets
of revised plans where the pipe lines concerned
The Details necessarily, will remain secret until next
Monday night but enough is known to make positive the
that the Stage site is out of it, the water
mission plans sheved and the chief points of the city
engineers plans adopted.

PIANIST Drove
WOMAN INSANE

Six years ago Mrs. g. W. Cassidy,
whose address, until recently, has
been r. F.. D.. No. 3, Spokane, had a
palmist tell her fortune.
The palmist declared Mrs. Cassidy
was going to have a lot of trouble,
that her husband did not love her
and that all medicine given her con-
tanned poison, to counterfeit which she
must always drink a quantity of
milk.
This preyed upon Mrs. Cassidy's
mind until today she was taken before
Judge KEENAN, on a charge of in
sanity.
~. Gray and DIR. Roberts reported
that Mrs. Cassidy was dangerous to
herself and uncomfortable, that she
imag her husband was trying to
poison her and to protect herself she
nailed up all the doors and windows
of the house.
An order of commitment to Medi-
cal Lake asylum was made by Judge
KEENAN,.

occasion to thus express their sympa-

Stotko, the policeman murdered by
the gang of burglars breaking into
the safe of Shinn & Co., was taken
through the streets of the city this
afternoon to their last resting place
in Greenwood cemetery.
1t was one of the largest and most
observed funerals held in Spokane
Many who were not personally ac-
quainted with the victim Of the muir
derous gang attended to show their
respect for the dead officer and dem
onstrate their feeling against his
murderers.
The funeral services were held at
1 o'clock. Rev. B. e. Utz and DR..
William Giboney officiating. Six po-
licemen acted as pallbearers. They
were Officers Nelson, Buchholz, San
born, c. Rolf Miles and Snamiska.
A platoon Of police, led by Inspector
George Holloway. met the cortege at
Second avenue and Howard street and
acted as escort down Howard street
and over Riverside avenue to Monroe
street, from which place carriages
were taken to the cemetery.
Acting Mayor Boyd and Chief Of
Police Waller drove in the procession,

to raise money for a reward for the
murderers has been gladly welcomed
by the business men, who have start
ed subscription paper through which
$1,000 was raised in a few hours. The
list is still being circulated and will

Chief Waller said today that the
city would increase the reward Of

county to do the same and then for

ward a request to Governor Mead to
offer $1,000.
In this manner a total reward Of
$4,000 would be offered for the arrest
and conviction of the murderers. 1t
would be a tempting offer to one Of
the gang to turn states evidence and
would serve to spur every detective
agency and city detective bureau to
the task of hunting down the muir
derers.
1t is only by offering a large re-
ward that any hopes of capturing the
criminals can be entertained. For
this reason it is believed the city,
state, county and merchants will re-
spond literally.
