SHAMEO AND D|SGUSTED BY GANGSTERS
v. HALL CARTER W|THDRAWS FROM TICKET

Voters in Waitsburg and vicinity
are stirred to great excitement over
the sudden and unexpected Withdraw
al from the republican ticket of w.
Hall Carter, republican candidate for
constable, and his public announce
ment that he will support the DEM
ocratic nominees. The action taken
by Mr.. Carter, based on reasons ex-
planned privately, is not unpopular
with those VINO understand the sit
uation.
According to the story given out
Carter attended a democratic meeting
and listened to the speeches. A few
nights later the republicans held a
rally at which certain candidates and
speakers from Walla Walla were pres
ent
After the meeting the republican
candidates and speakers adjourned to
a saloon where liquid enthusiasm for
Rupp, Cadman and Hawley was dis
seminated by quarts.
The Gang Leaked.
AS the absorption progressed the
spellbinders began to talk politics and
to urge the voters to stand by the
entire ticket in order to keep in the
bosses. The mask was thrown aside
and some Of the liquified patriots came
out frankly and declared themselves
in favor Of keeping the gang in, re-

gardless of principles or senatorial in
terests.
Mr.. Carter was one of those who
went into the saloon to listen to the
unexpected declaration of boss ideas
The brazen declaration on what the
Walla Walla gangsters expected to
do disgusted him and others who were
there as spectators.
AS a result of what he there
learned, Mr.. Carter, the day following,
publicly withdrew from the ticket de-
claring he could never associate with
a bunch such as had come over from
Walla Walla to expound gang politics.
He followed this with a letter TO the
local paper which reads thus:
Carter's Resignation.
To the Voters of Waitsburg Precinct:
Gentlemen:-I desire to introduce
myself as the ex-republican nominee
for constable of this precinct; and to
state in explanation of this article

pushed in a way to make ample
amends for the delays.
The meeting here was for the pur-
pose of securing a deposition from Mr..
Cooper relative to the controversy be-
tween the North Coast and the
Northern Pacific over a grade cross
ing at Union Gap near North Yakima,
and the fight the North Coast has on
to condemn a right Of way over the
lands owned by the Northern Pacific
at North Yakima. The North Coast
officials present were: Robert E. Stra-

Row Over Grade Crossing.
Mr. Snively held that the contention
of the Northern Pacific that the
North Coast should build an overhead

question, as trains Of the new road
would have TO approach it by a steep
grade from both directions to nego-
tiate a crossing.

He then turned and walked off to-

the trestle and directed the posse
later to where he was hid. Sheriff Nc

formed a posse of nearly 200 men,

Other members of the posse, further
in the rear, heard Perry's command

shots were fired and Perry fell to the
ground shot through the stomach.
The mistake was quickly discovered

POLICY HOLDERS
 ARE TREASURED
Insurance Companies Uncrippled by
 Francisco Losses.

There has been more or less appre- hension since the San Francisco dis aster by holders of policies in fire in surance compa nies regarding the sta bility of the companies but it now ap- pears that notwithstanding the terrible losses most of the companies if not all of them will continue in business and will not be seriously crippled.
 H I. Latham & Go. have received assurances from the companies which they represent that all of them will continue in business at the old stands. These twelve companies paid .one-fifth of the entire losses occasioned by the Baltimore fire. In the San Francisco fire several of the companies whose losses aggregated S3,5OO.OOO have not only signified their intention of paying them but they have besides contributed heavily to the relief fund.
 At the time of the Baltimore fire all the foreign companies paid their losses without drawing a dollar from their American assets and the indications are that they will do the same thing in the case of the San Francisco fire.
