IDAHO MAN Is SAID TO HAVE
BEEN MURDERED IN sPo.
KANE.
Went to WaIIuIa With $4,000 to Make
Deal for Purchase Of Sam Ash's
Saloon.

Dad Lyons, a citizen of Julia
eta, Idaho, is missing and his rela-
tives believe that he was doped in
Spokane, robbed and then murdered.
Lyons left Julietta in September for
Walylula, ostensibly for the purpose
of purchasing the saloon of S. A. Ash
at that place. He had with him about
$4,000 in money. Several days ago his
daughter received a letter from him
under a Spokane date saying that ne
mad purchased the Ash saloon and
was returning home. He failed to
put in an appearance at Julinetta and
since then nothing has been heard of
him. Advices received by the daugh-
ter from Wallula were to the effect
that Lyons had been in Wallula about
about September 20, but left there
for Spokane without closing the deal
with Ash.
AS Lyons was drugged and robbed
in Spokane last fall his relatives be-
lieve that he was again taken in by the
same gang who drugged him on the
previous occasion.

man, someone suggested money.

man said. The automobilists were
wondering whether the man was a
bona-f1de nighwayman or an insurance
director, when he began an address to
them on the evils of automobiling and
the terrifying effect on horse. After
casting a few aspersions on them he
fired his pistol in the air and told them
to hike. They lost little time in get

BOY KILLED BY COMPANION.
Jury Says Death Was Accidental; the
Father Swears Out Warrant.

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, Oct. 9.-Wil-
liam Ramthum, a 17-year-old boy,
shot and killed Herman Rick, aged H.,
yesterday afternoon in this city. Sew
eral boys were playing in a large field
and among them was William RAM
thum with his new shotgun. Some of
them threw little pieces of wood up in
the air and told him to shoot at them.
Finally one of the boys grabbed
Rieck's hat and threw it in the air, tel
ling Ramthum to shoot at it. He raised
his gun and attempted to shoot, but it
failed to discharge. He then lowered
it and was examining thecause of it's
failure to work when young Rieck, in
attempting to get his hat, stepped d.
rectly in front of the barrel. The gun
was discharged, and whole load Of
shot was emptied in his back. He
lived only fifteen minutes.
An inquest was held today over the
dead body and the jury found that
the boys death was purely accidental
The father of the dead boy has sworn
out warrant for the arrest Of Ram
thum, charging him with murder in the
first degree. He believes that the ex-
animation of the witnesses was not
sufficient to ascertain whether there
was a crime committed.

SPORTS

The Spokane Chronicle gives this
account of the battle between Denver
Kid Parker and Jack Kearns at Spo-
kane Friday night:
1.-The main battle between Kid Par
ker and Jack Kearns was pippin
while it lasted. The work Of both men
was clean and fast. The work of
Parker was a surprise to the fans, for
he showed his old time form. He was
forever after his man, never going
back but always crowding the fight
and continuing a succession of upper
cuts and left hand jolts that wuold
take the heart out of any man.
ut was a great go and at the end of
each round the crowd cheered. Par
ker's right was busy all the time. He
made Kearns cover up to protect him
self from left jabs and then uppercut
with his right. The blows of Kearns
affected MIN but little and he seemed
"The end came in the sixth round.
Kearns opened with a left to the wind
and missed a left swing. They mix in
a corner and both swing wildly. Park
er sends a terrific punch to Kearns'
neck and the latter goes to the floor.
Kearns comes up again and sends left
TO wind and right to ribs. Parker
showers rights and lefts on jaw and
Kearns goes down for the count of
nine AS they come together again
Parker sends an uppercut to chin and
Kearns again takes the count. Once
again Parker sends that right to chin,
and Kearns goes down. The bell saves
Kearns from the count but his seconds
throw up the sponge.
Referee McEnroe kept the men
fighting all the time and kept them
we'll apart and free from clinching.
"BattIing" Webster OutcIassed.
the first preliminary opened Just
as 1t should not have DONE Battling
Webster was certainly a frost, and the
colored man Dyson, convinced the
public that Webster had a Jaw that
was as vulnerable as that of any other
fighter.
I'm the second round Dyson began
swinging ON the Battler's jaw, and in
a short time the Walla Walla man
was staggering around the ring in a
helpless condition. Blinded and unable
to protect himself, the referee should
have stopped the slaughter for human
itys sake, but the beating still con-
tinued.
"Suddenly a strongly built man
jumped onto the platform, rushed to
the far side of the ring, pulled the two
men part, and said: stop this bru-
tality." 1t stopped. Quietly the
stranger who had done what the police
should have done, walked off the stage,
and Dyson was the winner"

pension law. A service pension bill
will be introduced early next session
and Corporal Tanner, being right On
me ground, will do his best to push
it along. The chief objection to such
legislation at this time is the depleted
condition of federal revenues. It can
hardly be enacted until the country
can see it's way out of the present con-
lition of an increasing deficit.
New Worships Obsolete.
Naval officers are prepared to give
only a half-hearted welcome to the
new battleship Mississippi, which was
launched from the Cramp yards at
Philadelphia Saturday. They regard
the Mississippi, along with her sister
ship, the Idaho, as out Of place in the
new American navy" because the
vessels are only 1900 tons, while the
eleven other battleships now being
built are all of 1929 or 5000 tons.
The estimated speed of the MISSISSIPPI
pi is seventeen knots, or two knots
slower than her contemporaries now
building, the Virginia, the Nebraska,
the Georgia, the New Jersey and the
Rhode Island, and one knot slower than
the new ships, the Connecticut, the
louisiana the Vermont, the Kansas
the Minnesota and the New Hampshire.
These features, say naval officers, will
make the Mississippi almost obsolete
before the first coat of paint has dried
upon her, and prevent her taking the
rank in the new navy that she is en-
tiled to by reason of her date of con-
struction. She is regarded as a monu-
ment to the folly of congress in de-
signing ships against expert advice.
Hull at White House.
Representative J. T. Hull of Des
Moines is in Washington, en- route
home from the seacoast, where ne has
spent the hay-fever period. He will
start west tonight, his wife and
daughter remaining in Washington to
pick out home for the winter.
Seen at the White House today, he
said he had just introduced to the
president T. J. Cloud of Des Moines,
who for several years had been Chi
nese interpreter, doing good work. Mr..
Hull asked the president if there was a
chance for such a man to be promoted
if it was the presidents policy to re-
cognize faithful service in subordinate
places by promotions. The president
made an affirmative answer where
upon it was arranged that Cloud should
have something better as soon as it
can be arranged.
George L. Dobson has recently re-
signed his consulate at Hangchow,
which pays $4,000 year. Dobson is
an Iowa man, and Hull recommends
Cloud as his successor, which recon-
mendation the president took under
advisement
Mr.. Hull informed newspaper men at
the White House that there was abso-
lutely no truth in reports recently cir
culated to the effect that the presi-
dent will divide his forces in congress
by trying to bring tariff revision to the
front.
'The president" said Mr.. Hull con-
tinuing, 'has railroad rate legislation
as his chief issue, and he will permit
nothing to get in the way of it. He
would insure the defeat of mis- rate
measures if he were to get congress
and the country to going on the tariff,
and this he we'll understands. He is
not unaware that some of the interests
which are talking tariff have Interior
motives

STEPHENSON TO wALcorr.

You will find in this impression
of THE TRIBUNE letter addressed
by James Stephenson, State Engin-
eer, to Charles D. Walcott. Direc-
tor U. S. Geological Survey. You
are advised to read that letter, and
then calmly reflect upon its i'm
port. Does it not tend to confirm
the very prevalent suspicion that,
speaking fguratively Of this re-
Clamation business, there is some
thing rotten in Denmark? Mr..
Stephenson, with apparent good
cause, directly charges the Super
yising engineer, D. W. Ross, with
overriding the judgment and iuten-
tions of the Director of the Geo
logical Survey. He, also, indicates
that there is local elmer circle, "
to whom alone it is given to know
what is going forward, and init,
mates that this cabal, of which D:
w. Ross is the probable head,
takes pains to shroud all its move
ments in mystery. Right there
has been the trouble all along.
THE TRIBUNE does not charge
improper motives, but, secrecy in
evitably breeds suspicion, and if
the "innel circle" fall under sus-
picion they have themselves alone
to blame. We believe Mr.. Ste
phenson's letter will result in much
good. 1t will probably have ten
dency to stir things up. Mr.. Wal
colt may, upon investigation, find
that a little personal attention to
business out here would be bene-
fetal. And Secretary Hitchcock
upon further investigation, may dis
Germ that he has been victimized in
some such manner as was Secretary
Wilson.
State Engineer Stephenson is to
be commended for the straightfor-
ward, manly and open course he is
pursuing. 1t is time that some
body received a Pelee jar.
