FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. IL
Paul Stensland, the absconding presi-
dent of the Milwaukee Avenue bank,
Chicago, according to the statement
of Henry V. Adams, a former commits
sion broker in Chicago, is on his way
to Mexico.
Adams says he came all the way
from New Orleans to this city with
the former banker. He asked Stems
land how the bank was progressing
and the latter replied it was never in
a more prosperous condition.
Stensland said he was going TO
Mexico on a pleasure trip. Adams did
not know at that time that Stensland
had absconded Stensland left the
train here saying he needed rest
before continuing his journey.

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-While the cor
oner was holding an inquest this
morning over the body of Frank Kow-
alski, the teller for the Milwaukee Av-
enue bank, who committed suicide last
night, a crowd of angry foreigners,
men and women, gathered about the
house and created a demonstration.
A Polish man and woman entered
the house and hurled anathemas at
the family, shook their fists at the
body and cursed the memory of the
young man.
The crowd tore the wreath and the
crepe from the door and crushed them
in the gutter
The excitement grew to riot
which the police subdued with clubs.
Kowalski was driven to suicide by
the taunts of his neighbOrs who
thought he should have warned them.
Examiner Jones says there is no
evidence that he had the slightest
knowledge of the conditions.
Inspector Shippy this morning sent
detectives to persuade the directors
of the defunct Milwaukee Avenue
bank to come in for examination. He
declares President Stensland was the
head of a gang of forgers each of
whom is equally guilty.

THREATENS TO KILL DEPUTY
H0b0es Put Price on Head Of
Allen Byrnes.
PLOT IS LAID At T0UCHET STATION
OFFICER WHO HAS FOUGHT
"YEGGS" WARNED OF PLAN
TO MURDER HIM.
PLOT IS LAID At T0UCHET STATION

Deputy Sheriff Allen Byrnes is a
marked man. The hoboes of sand
ridden Wallula have put a price on his
head and the "bo" who succeeds in
exterminating the officer from the
land of the living is to receive a fit
ting reward from the tribe of "Wearv
Willies.'
Deputy Byrnes, who was in Walla
Walla today, treats lightly the threats
of the knights of the road to put him
out of commission. The deputy ad-
mitted that friends of his at Touchet
station warned him a few days ago of
plot to put him out of the way.
Feminist the Bunch.
Deputy Byrnes it is said has earned
the undying hatred of the weary
Willies" by waging a ceaseless war;
fare on them There is no place for
the ''bo'' in Wallula when the depu-
ty is feeling right and the "boes" says
he never feels otherwise.
The "boes" have not forgotten a
few months ago when Deputy Byrnes
on horseback, rounded up a MUNICH
of four of the "Wearies" in the undu-
lating sandfields and drove them into
Wallula like a herd of sheep, winding
up the performance by shooting them
across the Columbia. The "boes" that
time forgot to pay Sam Gee for their
breakfast
A La Cossack.
Neither have the "boes'' forgotten
when the deputy, armed with a black
snake, chased three of the gang to
Umatilla a few weeks ago, accelerat-
ing their movements by frequent cuts
across their pedal extremities, eacf
cut raising a welt and drawing the
claret.
Likewise, the "boes'' have not for.
gotten the peaceful drunks that have
been so rudely disturbed, the midnigh
feasts that have been broken up, o.
the uncountable times the poor "bo'
has been forced to leave his comfort
able campfire and continue his jour
ney across the desert.
All this, calls for revenge and th'
word has been passed down the lin
that Deputy Byrnes is to be put out o
the way.
"Wen, the hoboes have led prett,
strenuous life around WalIula TO
J some time" Deputy Byrnes admitte'
this morning. 81 heard at Touchet
few days ago that the gang was go
J ing to fix me but I guess it was mer
: bluff. 1 am not losing any sleep o.
account of the threats"

DRAWING $3.50 PER MONTH

It's nice to be councilman-that
is if you are one of those councilmen
with porkish propensities which in
duce you to grab off everything in
sight, and then some.
There are some councilmen who are
too busy to draw extra salaries from
the city. There are, occasionally,
cOuncilmen who wouldn't draw two
salaries if they could; most of this
class, however, has gone to Spokane
to join the freak parade.
Some Of the pOrkish councilmen
are still with us. Some have been
retired by their constituents-whO,
probably, would have liked at least
one of the jobs themselves
All of this by way of calling atten-
tion to the nice fat living former
Councilman Fred Martin has made
out of the job of municipal legislator
from the Fourth ward.
Realizes Ambitions.
When the water committee was
named Councilman Martin was made
a member of it, along with Council
man Kirkman and McKean Mr. Mar
tin was ambitious-eager to earn more
The job of supervisor on the pipe
line was one of the positions created
by the councilmen. 1t was a good
thing. Councilman Martin conceived
the idea of hiring himself at 80 much
per to spend a few hours a day up
the line where shady trees waved
sweet welcome and cool winds en-
wrapt the overheated citizen from the
asphalt and the bitulithic. The deal
went through.
For a month all went well. Tnen,
one night, in the meeting, Council
man GlasfOrd wanted to know" Part
Of his want of knowledge had to do
with the accuracy of the time books Of
the Warren Construction company.
This surprised some of the wise ones
a little until it developed there were
to be two more jobs created-those Of
for the city to check the

pany.
Got What He Wanted.
Mr. Morti,, ipfor,oo1 I,;,,soJf o-1
the others of the committee that he
wanted one of the jobs Of checking
and wanted it bad. He got
it. Other applicants hadn't a show
with the one who could hire himself
Just how much Mr.. Martin is
worth at the present time is none Of
the public's business. He is devoting
all this time to the checking of time
books and supervising the construc-
ton of the pipe line. What his bill to
the city will be for August is not vet
recorded
In May Councilman Fred Martin
cashed a warrant issued by the city
for salary as supervisor which
amounted to $176.
For June, Councilman Martins SAL
ary as supervisor and timekeeper-two
jobs-was $3.50.
For the month of July Mr.. Martins
warrant in return for his valued SER
vices as timekeeper and supervisor
amounted to $3.50.
Mr. Martin is still engaged in his
onerous duties Of supervising the big
ditch construction, watching the time

amounts shall be entered without war;

HeQden Writes Letter AC-
cusingR Russia Little Father
take SHOTS At GRAND DUKE
Regiment Fires Bullets at Com
mander Who is Giving Blank
Cartridge Practice.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1.-THE
Heyden letter is printed in the Novoe
Vremya today and gives the lie di-
rect to the czar in connection with
the recent attempt of Stolypin to form
cabinet
Heyden says he and his associates
refused to enter the cabinet because
their plans for reform were rejected.
Stolypin demanded that they prove
bureaucrats.
The letter is bold and frank. 1t
created a sensation by declaring the
czar is deliberately trying to regain
full authority by only admitting as
advisors those favoring despotic rule.
The general impression is that in
driving the Heyden party from him
the czar has done the most in his
power to hasten the crisis.
Two regiments have notified their
officers that it will be useless to order
them to shoot the peasants they had
been sent to subdue. General Classoff
hastened to the camp at Vologda to
subdue the mutineers but was unsuc-
cessful, the men repeating to him
their intentions.
Grand Duke Escapes.
Grand Duke Nicholas narrowly es-
capped assassination yesterday at the
hands of the imperial guards in camp
at Krasnoyeselo.
The grand duke was conducting the
maneuvers, putting the troops through
blank firing practice, when bullets
hissed about his head.
Neither the horse nor the rider was
touched and he commanded them to
cease firing.
The regiment from which the firing
came was marched to it's quarters and
a number of arrests made. The acci-
dent theory is secuted.
1t caused an immediate change in
the plans of the emperor who was to
spend the week at the camp.
