Wilson and Water Superintendent
Knight refuse to openly condemn the
survey made by Engineer Sayles, the
fact that they have located what is
line, following the north bank of Mill
creek, is sufficient evidence that their
opinion of the Sayles route for a safe
pipe line is not very flattering. The
route selected by the two officials
seems to offer the only feasible plan
for guaranteeing the safety Of the pro-
posed pipe line. The projected plan is
to take water from the intake on the
north side of the creek, convey it in a
36-inch pipe on a grade of three feet
to the mile, to a point about half
mile below the point of intake, where
on natural plateau it is proposed to
construct either one Or two settling
basins. From the settling basins the
0-inch pipe line will commence and
follow the brow Of the hills at an ele-
walton that will place the line high
above the creek and at the same time
give a hydraulic grade that will over
come two or three high points below
Blue creek without the necessity of Sc
curing rights of way from private in
dividuals in order to obtain The proper
levels.
The proposed pipe line would leave
the hills at the Wickersham bridge and
follow along the county road clear to
the distributing point just east of Wal
la Walla. The proposed route will
eliminate any disagreeable complica-
tions that might arise through con-
structing the pipe line through private
property and at the same time would
be entirely away from Mill creek and
consequently entirely free from any
danger of high water.

that it is law of nature that recent

as compared with their representatives
simply not true. Recent horses are
bigger than extinct ones and much big

any of these acts.

According to the complaint the Wal
lula Pacific company was organized in
August. 1905. under the laws of Wash
ington, to build railway from Wallula
across the Columbia river and thence
by some eligible route along the north
bank of the Columbia river to a point
in the state of Washington near the
mouth of the river. Right of way is
claimed by virtue of an act of con-
gress granting to railroads right of
way through public lands of United
States.
1t is alleged that steps were taken
along the route desired, and it is now
engaged in the enterprise and desires
to complete the work with reasonable
dispatch. 1t is asserted that in Oc-
tober. 1905, the defendants wrongfully
and without the consent of plaintiff
entered upon part of the following
right of way: Lots 1, 2, and OF
section 80, township norht, where
defendant has II teams at work On
high embankment, and lot 1, section s.
township 6 north, where there is
mountainside and a deep fill. This
part of the work is claimed to be the
land of plaintiffs right of way opposite
the mouth of Walla Walla river and
extending four miles. In section 70 II
is alleged that the defendant has let a
contract to the McCabe Construction
company for siv miles of work. On lots
5 and 6, section 4, range %, the de-
PENDANT is alleged to be engaged ir
making grade on shore land, and Its
grade is about eight feet higher thar
the grade level of plaintiff, and will
! if permitted, absolutely prevent the
Wallula Pacific from constructing its
railway.

JOSEPH HAMMOND HAD EXCITING
TIME WITH GREEK SEC
TON HANDS.
Single Handed He Held a Crowd at
Bay With Horsewhip and
Shotgun.

According to the evidence presented
at his trial in Arlington yesterday
Joseph Hammond in charge of the O.
r. & N. pump near Willows, success
fully fought off a drunken section boss
named Ed Dunn and a number of
Greek section hands, who endeavored
to attack MIN with clubs, a bowieknife
and guns. The row started from an
attempt by Hammond to save Dunn's
wife and sister-in-law from abuse by
the drunken man. He had Dunn under
control when the Greeks took part and
only his courage and GOODNESS saved
him from death. A charge of birdshot
in the arm of one of the Greeks ended
the trouble.
AS far as could be learned here,
Dunn returned from Arlington to Will
lows late Saturday night in a violent
mood, and started to break up the fur
niture in his home. His wife and sis
ter law demonstrated, with the re-
suit that he turned his attention to
them. Mrs. Dunn then summoned
Hammond from mis- home, nor far
away.
Greeks Take Part.
Hammond was met at the door by
Dunn, armed with a chair. Deprived

Then Hammond tried to tie the violent
man up. Aroused by the noise of the
fight, the Greek section hands, armed
with guns and clubs, came to Dunn's
aid.
Hammond escaped to the house,
jumped through a window and made
his escape to his own home. Dunn
went to his own house, dragged the
women around by the hair in the en-
deavor to make them tell where they
had hidden Hammond. Then, with his
crew, he went to the Hammond home.
Ho-sewhips the Crowd.
They were met by Hammond, armed
with a horsewhip, and the whole crowd
in line for thrashing, when one
sasw~W~
of the Greeks drew a gun and leveled
it at Hammond The latter was too
quick. however and his shotgun
wounded the Greek and ended the
trouble there.
At the trial Hammond was exoner-
ated.

SHOE WITH cHARRED BONES OF
FOOT DUG OUT OF MACY'S
BARN.
Strange Tracks Were Also Found Yes.
terday Morning Leading to the
Burned Building.

Almost unmistakable evidence that
an unknown man lost his life in the
Macy in Watertown addition late Sun
day night was found by Mr.. Macy this
morning in the shape of part of a
mans shoe with what appears to be
the charred remains of a human foot.
This was in addition to several bones
and buttons found yesterday and turn
ed over to Coroner Smith.
Il feel satisfied that a man was
burned to death in the barn." Mr.. Macy
said to an Evening Statesman repre-
sentative, who visited the Macy place
this afternoon and viewed the charred
wreck of the burned building. while
searching in the ruins yesterday even
ing I came across a mound that WITS
perhaps three feet long and a foot in
diameter lying just at the south edge
of the building. I prodded the mound
and as I did so it crumbled away. The
interior was of bright pink color and
trunk of man. A few feet away boys
found a part of a mans shoe contain
ing what 1 believe is the charred re-
mains Of a mans foot. The heat was
so intense that a body could easily
have been entirely burned without
leaving a single trace"
Strange Tracks Were Found.
WHAT convinces Mr.. Macy more than
anything, aside from the finding of
bones and the shoe, that human being
lost his life in the fire is a story told
by a woman stopping at the Blakeway
place and strange tracks that We're
traced to the Macy barn the next morn
ing after the fire. The neighbor lady
statd that late Sunday night she heard
two men talking in the vicinity of the
Blakeway barn., which adjoins the
Macy place. 1t was late at night but
little was thought of the occurrence
until the Macy barn burned. An in
vestigation of the tracks in the snow
showed that two men had encircled the
Blakeway barn. One then led toward
the Blakeway chicken house and the
other led directly toward the Macy
barn. The supposition is that the man
who visited the Macy barn is respons-
ible for the fire and evidently lost his
life in the blaze.
Mr. Macys loss, he estimates, will
be about $500 with $500 insurance.
Mr.. Macy deals in manufactured conf
ments, bee supplies, etc, and in addi-
ton to these had $10O worth of apples,
several barrels of sauer kraut and 25
pals of honey. AS soon as the debris
cools sufficiently a thorough search will
be made for other evidence of a human
being.

Proposed Intake.
The party first visited the site of
the proposed intake, which has been
located at a point about 100 yards
above the last bridge on Mill creek,
or about two miles above the Wicker
sham bridge The nigh range of noun
tains on either side converge together
at this point, forming a circular plot
of ground, containing perhaps 10 acres
and which it is proposed, under pres
ent plans, to utilize as a natural set
Ting basin by throwing dam across
the stream and constructing a wing
dam on the north side of the creek.
The main spillway would be on the
south side of the creek and the point
of intake on the north side. The cost
of constructing about 500 feet of con-
crete work would be nominal, as there
is ample rock and a bar of sand right
on the ground Cement would be the
only material that it would be neces-
sarv to transport to the ground The
intake is located at what might be
termed the dividing line between the
mountain ana farming country. Above
the intake are high ranges Of noun
tains, mostly covered with pines and
other mountain trees, and the danger
from polluted water is very remote
The intake was selected only after a
very exhaustive survey Of the stream
clear to the Kicker place. At only one
other place was a suitable site found
but that was so close to the Oregon
line that it was abandoned and the
present site decided upon.

CALLED ON TO MAKE AN
EXPLANATION.
Boxers" Wanted to Know Why He
Voted for Alexander Cameron for
Committee Chairman.

Councilman Kirkmans action in
standing in with the followers of b.
D. Crocker at the meeting of the Walla
Walla county republican central COM
mittee Saturday afternoon was tina
principal subject under discussion yes
terday afternoon at meeting of the
Boxers held in the office of Thomas
Mosgrove. During the conference the
councilman from the third ward was
on the carpet for some time, and If all
o ia great deal of roasting from his
political colleagues.
Saturday evening when it became
known that Kirkman had joined with
the Cornwell forces and voted for the
selection of Alexander Cameron for
chairman of the committee, the Box
ers' became very indignant. Whenever
any of them came in contact with
Kirkman the latter was given a severe
reprlmand. SO much DISSATISFACTION
was expressed by the men who have
been fighting Crocker in Walla Walla
for SO long that it was finally decided
to hold a meeting and summon the
political councilman to appear and ex-
plain himself. Accordingly the indig-
nation meeting was held yesterday at
ternoon. In the meeting many Of the
leading Boxers took occasion to go
for the councilman in anything but
moderate terms, and it is said that in
some instances he was denounced In
scatning language as a traitor to the
cause"
kirkman Explains.
After nearly all of the Boxers had
been given an opportunity to hand it,
to Kirkman, the councilman took the
floor in his own defense. 1t is claimed
that he made a strong plea for forgive
ness and during the course of his re-
marks endeavOred to convince his col
leagues that the position taken by him.
self was justifiable. He asserted that
while he had not had a change of heart
as far as his enmity to Croker was
concerned, yet in view of the split in
the central committee he deemed it
wise to vote with the majority, as that
would prevent the Kees-Painter fac
ton from retaining control of the COM
mittee. This, he asserted, would even
tually result in the breach becoming
wider and that when the next primary
election rolled around it would give the
Boxers" an opportunity of controlling
the party in this county.
To some the explanation made by
Kirkman was acceptable, but to others
it is said it was taken with a grain of
salt. There are some hints that Kirk
man has gone over to the camp of the
enemy and that his action Saturday in
voting for Cameron was only carrying
out another number of the program ar
ranged by Crocker in connection with
the saloon cases in Walla Walla
