MAY BE TEST CASE.

Hardware Mems Association Files Com
plant with District Attorney.
There is possibility that the re-
cent action of the county court re-
quiring license of $500 year from
any outside company selling vehicles
in the county may be tested, says the
East regonian.
Complaint has been received by w.
J. Clarke, secretary of the Hardware
Mems association, that concern has
unloaded two carloads of buggies at
Milton, and is now engaged in ped
ding them among the farmers of
that section. This morning Mr..
Clarke laid the matter before District
Attorney Phelps and should sufficient
evidence be secured the agents will
be prosecuted unless they pay the
license.
1t is said they are seeking to evade
the license by driving prospective
purchasers over the state line and
there completing the deal. Whether
or not they will be able to escape the
license in this manner remains to be
seen.
Walla Walla dealers will also take
action. Report from there says
Twenty of the implement aud vehicle
dealers in Walla Walla and Columbia
county have combined for the pur-
pose of driving out the travling ven
ders of buggies and hacks. They
have emp loyed a man to rgo among
the farmers and impress them with he
idea of purchasing from local business
men, who help to pay the taxes of the
counties.
The peddlers have established de-
pot for the vehicles across the Wash
ington line at Freewater, for the pur-
pose of escaping taxation in Wash
ington counties. They take a few
across at time aud dispose of them
before the assessor locates them.
The peddler's license law has been
declared unconstitutional in Wash
ington.
Lively tilts between the representa-.
tive of the local merchants and the
pedders have occurred the past few
days, in which there have been

New Lodge Hall.

Pythias hall the ladies of the Friday

The spacious hall was fitted out as
an immense parlor, with easy chairs,
art squares, ornamental palms, grow
ing plants, etc. The club colors
were in evidence. An immense cut

of the scene and to the delectation of
the guests.

Stays Vicious Bobcat.

Henry Lazinka, the we'll known
eattleman, while driving bis cattle
to the Walla Walla river in the vi
cinity of the 'slide" in the northern
part of the county, encountered a
large wildcat, which he attacked on
horseback with nothing but large
riding whip. The animal finally
turned and attacked him, jumping
upon his horse. tearing his saddle and
chaps with its sharp claws and trying
hard to reach his face. He finally
dealt it blow that stunned it, when
he quickly dismounted and followed
up his advantage by kicking and beat
ing it to death. 1t was large cat,
having fine coat of fur.

"seein' Things at Night"

Dave Lavender, city marshal, and
9. B. Williamson, the amiable young
druggist, are not men whose habits ac-
custom them to ''seein' things at
night" Therefore the Leader is in
clined to treat with respect and
credence their story of an attempted
burglary Tuesday night, although
there are those who scotf. They were
sitting in Williamson's pharmacy
about 9:3O O'Clock when the noise of
some one scrambling on the roof was
heard. Quietly they left the store
and went upon the roof by way Of the
window of DR.. Hasbrouck's Office but
could find nothing. Later a man was
seen to dart out of the yard from the
rear Of Calvert's Bazaar, and the mar
shal fired shot by way of accelerat-
ing his speed. Nothing further de-
veloped, although they remained on
guard until midnight. Weston Lead

DETECTIVE GIVES UP
HAS BEEN sHAD0WING TRACY
SINCE NAYLOR MURDER.
Son-in-law's Story is Believed by The
Officers and there is no Clue
to Work on.

From the Pendleton Tribune: In
spit of the fact that Detective Cox,
formerly of Omaha, has been in the
city working with the city and county
off GERS, the mystery surrounding the
murder of F. q. Naylor Saturday
night, March II, is as much puzzle
as ever. The presence of the special
detective from the east was discovered
by Tribune reporter early in the
week, but when the officers were ques-
toned regarding the matter, they
professed the utmost ignorance and
said that nothing special was being
done in the case as they had absolute
ly no clue to work from. Yesterday,
however, when the reporter placed
before the district attorney undisput-
able evidence of the fact that Cox
was here, that he was detective
from Omaha, and that the officers
have been working hard on the case
for the past two weeks, he merely
smiled sarcastically aud said: "Is that
so?" As much as to ask the dispen-
ser of news what business it was of
his. Though the reporter stuck to
his text, Mr.. Phelps would not say
anything more than to give the i'm
preston that nothing new had been
discovered.
From what little he did say, it was
gathered that Ed Tracy, the Pendle-
ton carpenter and son-in-law of the
murdered man, has been closely
shadowed and that his alibi had been
gone into carefully in regard to every
detail. The result of these investiga-
tions were to the effect that the story
! told by Tracy the morning following
| the crime and the one which he has
since maintained was true account
| of his whereabouts on that night, was
true in every particular.
After two weeks of the hardest kinG
of work it is now supposed that the
officers will give up the chase as they
no longer have the slightest clue tx
| work on.
/ That Naylor was murdered and theI
thrown into the race by his assailant'
each and every one of the officers still
maintain, but when it comes to nam
ing the assailants, they are complete
ly at sea. The theory advanced by
the Tribune to the effect that tramp
did the deed for the pu1pose of rob
/ berry, seems to be the theory that il
most acceptable to the officers.
| On the night that Naylor was killed
he had been drinking heavily and in
sisted on telling everybody he me
how much money he had won tina
evening at gambling. He was still
talking about it when seen by tn
little boys in the east end of towr
after 10 o'clock that night, and it il
very probable that when he rau int
the tramps that he lost no time in tell
ing them how rich he was. The rest
of the story is easy to imagine. Hav
ing tapped him on the head a littl
harder than they intended they de
cided to throw his body into the waite
where they thought it would stay sub
merged for some days and thus hid
their crime until they had time to ge
out of the country. But although tn
body refused to stay under water the.
evidently made good their escape.

Main Structure Of University Of Idaho
Destroyed at Moscow.
The administration building, the
main structure of the University of
Idaho, burned at Moscow Friday
morning. Fire started in the base
ment of the girls dining hall, and be-
fore the city fire department arrived,
was beyond control. Only portion
of the contents of the museum and the
chemical laboratory was saved.
The loss is estimated at $500, 900.
The insurance ON the building was
100000. The cause of the fire is not
yet known.
The building was approximately 100
feet square and was four stories high.
1t contained rs rooms, including the
recitation rooms, the Office of the
president, registrar and director of the
agricultural experiment station and
the chemical laboratory.
One young man slept in the building
but he escaped. The building was
crowded Friday nigh by students and
towns people to hear the debate be-
tween the team from the University
of Washington at Seattle, and the
University of Idaho debaters

buildings are injured. The attend
ance of students at the institution has

gents will meet at once to adopt plans
for rebuilding and will push the work
rapidly forward.
