DETECTIVES SCAN PENDLEToN.
On Probable Line of Travel of Steun-
enberg Conspirators.

enDefg OOnSplratOrS.
To the detectives who are attempt
ing to run down the murderers of ex-
Governor Steunenberg of Idaho, Pen
dleton is a point of interest because
of the fact that practically all travel
between the northern and southern
parts of Idaho is done via this place.
Also, since the assassination was COM
mitted at Caldwell, in southern Idaho,
by parties whom it is believed either
live or have lived in the Coeur
d'Alenes, there has naturally been
desire to know what people have
made the trip.
AS a result the hotel registers of
the city have ben carefully scanned
by numerous criminal hunters during
the past few weeks. Also, in several
instances pictures and descriptions
have been left with hotel clerks so
that they may identify certain suspi-
cious characters should they appear.
There is one man in particular
about whom the Theil detectives
would especially like to learn more.
He is a Coeur d'Alene man and at the
time of the assassination was in Cald-
we'll Immediately after the explo-
sion of the bomb he staggered into a
cheap hotel pretending to be drunk.
AS result of his actions he has been
looked upon with suspicion by the de-
tectives, but so far no direct evidence
has been found against him.

FOUNTAIN BROKEN AGAIN
POLICE LOOK FOR BOYS
Youngsters in the south End Seem
to Delight in Breaking Fountain
in Seventh Street Park-Repairs
Will Cost Over $780,

The fountain in the South Seventh
Street Park repaired during April at a
cost to the city of $3.50 has been dam
aged again, and this time, the cost of
repairing it will be between $50 and
500. Both times that the fountain
has been damaged, it has been done
by boys living in the neighborhood
who have broken the fountain out of
spirit of vandalism, the members of
the Board of Public Works say. and
hereafter, If there is any further trou-
BILE, or if the miscreants in this case
can be apprehended, the guilty ones
will be vigorously prosecuted.
The fountain is an elaborate piece
of work, costing several hundred dol
lars. 1t is composed of white metal
which is a composition that does not
rust. One of the large storks was bro
ken off this week and another will
have to be purchased, or the fountain
will be unsightly. A sharp lookout is
being maintained in the heighborhood
for the person or persons who dam
aged the fountain ana the policemen
in that section of the city have been
cautioned about allowing rowdy gangs
of boys to congregate within the park

Supt. Bailey Calls Attention to
Large Number of Horses
Now Being Stolen. -
THREE TAKEN AT MUNCIE
HEAD OF RICHMOND POLICE DE-
PARTMENT SUGGESTS THAT
FARMERS DO NOT BUY HORSES
UNLESS THEY KNOW OWNER.

Horse thieving seems to be a popu-
lar pastime with scores of crooks in
different parts of the state just now,
and every day, reports of animals be-
ing stolen are received at the local
police headquarters with instructions
to keep On the lookout for the thieves
and the rigs and make arrests if pos
sible.
Yesterday afternoon Supt. Bailey
received a telephone message from
Muncie, saying that three horses were
stolen from pasture near that city
on Tuesday night One was a black
horse, another a black mare and the
third was a bay mare. All were in
good condition and fine horses. A re-
ward is offered for their return to
their owner
Supt Bailey announces to all farm
ers and horse traders that it is best
to know whose horse is being sold
when a stranger offers one at a cheap
price. Just now, there are many sales
being held in different parts of the
state, and the animals can be easily
disposed of by an accomplished crook,
who knows his trade. Many are sold
to farmers for a small amount of
money, and if the farmer is detected
he will have to give up the horse, and
may be prosecuted for buying stolen
goods.

JOSEPH M'BR|DE DEAD
A TRAGEDY is RECALLED
Years Ago the Deceased Shot and
Killed Man Whom He Thought
Was Guilty of Breaking up His
Home-Was An Unhappy Man.
Palladium Special.1

Eaton o., May 3.-Joseph Mcbride,
one of the principals in a tragedy sew
era lyears ago, in which Mcbride shot
and instantly killed William Rabbit,
died Wednesday afternoon at his
home near West Alexandria of paraly-
sis, at the age of sixty years. The
circumstances of the tragedy are still
fresh in the minds of the older resi-
dents of Preble County. Rabbit was
a tramp workman who applied at the
Mcbride home for work and was Ia
ken in. He lived with the Mcbride
family for a while and then the head
of the family accused him ofunbecom-
ing conduct and he left. Later he re-
turned to the house in answer to an
urgent summons and was shot dead
at the door. Mcbride was acquitted,
but public sentiment was about evenly
divided, and he lived unhappily until
his death.
