NO FEAR OF LIGHTNING
Telephone Company to Install Carbon
Protectors in All Phones.

The Pacific States Telephone COM
pany purposes to install carbon pro-
tectors in connection with all phones
in the city. The protectors are now
in stock, but have not as yet been put
in. The carbon protector is a recent
invention which is s'lvadditional safe
guard against lightning. They are be-
ing installed in Everett at present and
will be put in all over the lines owned
by the Sunset company, says the Spo-
kane Chronicle.
The telephone company is also COM
pleting plans for the installation of the
new central energy system. When
this service is in working order it win
do away with all dry batteries in the
telephones, the electricity being fur
nished from the central station. To
make the change it will be necessary to
install a complete new set of telephones
and new swtchboards at the central
station. The work may be started in
the near future or not for year. The
whole matter is now in the hands of
the engineer, and after his plans are
completed the work will commence.
With the new system in use the ex-
pense of operation will be materially
reduced, as the necessity for dry bat
teries will be entirely obviated.

Treasurer Of Democratic Central Com
m'ttee OF Whatcom County FIops.

BELLINGHAM, June 26.-B. H. Sill
yer, treasurer of the democratic county
central committee and a member of
the state executive committee, lef-long
democrat and many times aspirant for
public office at the hands of his party,
has Topped and will henceforth train
with the G. 0. p. Before the four-year
period of elections roll around Mr.. Sill
yer hopes to be sufficiently acclimated
in his new environments to stand be-
fore the republican state convention
and ask to be placed in the shoes of
Governor Albert e. Mead.
No less than three times since his
arrival in Whatcom county mas Mr..
Silver asked from his party an office
within it's gift, while he has had a long
ing to grace the halls of congress and
once he sought the second place on
the state ticket. Before the Whatcom
county democratic convention he had
one of the biggest political fights of mis-
lift to secure the endorsement Of his
party for lieutenant governor.
1t was openely stated that he had
been pledged the support of the repub-
lican state chairman, who was then en-
deavoring to secure the removal of c.
E. Coon from the republican state
ticket. 1t was declared at the time
that Mr.. Silver had received tele-
gram of congratulation from Palmer
when he finally secured the endorse
ment of the Whatcom county demo-
cratic county convention.

I. o. WHITE ATTEMPTED TO KILL
HIS BETTER HALF NEAR
PENDLETON.
Woman Had Begun Divorce Proceed
ings in Circuit Court-Mrs.
White Will Recover.

Near Pendleton Saturday night T. O.
White shot his wife and then commit
ted suicide. The man committed the
deed presumably because his wife had
commenced proceedings in tne circuit
court for divorce.
AS Mrs. White, accompanied by her
seven-year daughter and a nephew
aged II years was returning to the
Norton ranch from Pendleton White
rode up from behind the rig until even
with the seat upon which his wife sat
and without a word leveled a revolver
at her and fired five shots in quick
succession.
At the first shot the woman received
wound in the left wrist and fell into
the bottom of the rig. Two more bull
lets also took effect and caused flesh
wounds in her back. None of the
wounds, however, proved serious and
with proper care Mrs. White may re-
cover.
The boy, who was driving, received a
flesh wound in his left knee which
is thought to nave been caused by the
bullet which struck Mrs. Whites wrist,
.
After White had fired upon his wife
ne evidently concluded that she was
dead and turning his horse he rode
back toward the city about a quarter
of a mile, where he dismounted from,
his horse and after reloading his re-
volver placed it in the middle of his
forehead and blew his brains out.
A coroner's jury was sworn and, in
company with Coroner Henderson an
Deputy Sheriff Blakeley, went to the
scene of the tragedy. A search of the
suicides pockets revealed numberless
trinkets. Around his neck suspended
by gold chain. was a ladys gol
watch apparently new. From a case in
his pocket it is surmised that this was
purchased in Portland, from which city
ne had. just returned. and it is thought
that it was to be used as a peace Of
fering to his wife to aid in a reconcil-
iatiOn.

Five criminal cases tried in the su-

The total cost of witnesses and Jury
men in the Schonleber case was $172. 10.
In addition to these expenses in this
particular case is the cost of board ana
lodging for the II jurymen for three
days which will bring the total cost of
the trial something over 5000, extreme
ly light compared to ordinary murder
trials.
The salaries of the jurymen who
either tried cases or were called and
later discharged totals $441.7O and the
amount paid to witnesses foots up to
s315.S5. Other expenses to be added

COUNTERPART FOR MENTOR DIS
Westbound Twentieth Century Limited
Barely Escaped Being Wrecked.

LA PORTE, Ind, June 26.-It has
just leaked out that the west-bound
Twentieth Century Limited narrowly
which destroyed the east-bound lin
tied at Mentor, o.
AS the west-bound train came in
sight at this point, F. H. Kirkwood, a
switchman, glancing down the track
toward the oncoming flyer, saw that a
switch from the main line was open.
Kirkwood raced for the switch and
closed it. A fraction of a minute later
the limited sped by in safety at a 60
mile-an-hour speed.
The limited was minute or two
late. This fact alone saved it from a
fearful disaster, for the switch closed
by Kirkwood in the nick of time led to
a siding occupied by a string of heav-
lily loaded freight cars.
No one knows VINO is responsible for
the open switch and the Lake Shore
officials have ordered a searching in
vestigation.
The fact that the west-bound Twen-
tieth Century Limited narrowly es-
capped a wreck under circumstances
which duplicated the causes of the
wreck at Mentor lead some to believe
that a deliberate attempt was made to
wreck both trains.
This theory is supported, some think,
by the similarity of the circumstances.
Railroad men nere, however, scout the
conspiracy talk. They accept the
theory that some switchman or sec
ton hand carelessly left the switch
open. A freight train, it is recalled
had been sidetracked a short time be-
fore the limited was due, in order to
give the fast train a clear track.
