DUAL CRIME AT DURHAM
Freeman Jones Charged With Bur-
glary and Attempted Assault-Drag-
ged His Victim, a Half Witted White
Woman, Into the Yard.
Durham. June Fireman Jones,
colored, is in Jail here charged with
burglary and attempted criminal as
sault, which crimes were committed in
East Durham this morning about 5
o'cuoCk. He has been positively iden-
titled by the victim of his brutal at
tempt, Mrs. J. W. Barker, and has par
TALLY admitted the desperate charges
against him. The hearing is set for
tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock and in
the meantime he has been committed
to Jail without bail to await the hear
ing.
DRAGGED INTO YARD.
Mrs. Barker was dragged from her
home and into the yard by a negro. In
the scufie that followed she was pain
fully hurt, and is suffering today from
a bruised chest and sprained back. Her
cries and the cries of her aged mother
lived near by, and when they started to
ascertain the aus Of the trouble the
negro ran off, going over soft earth
that enabled the officer to track him,
and bring about his arrest soon after
the crime. When arrested the negro
was dressed just as described by Mrs.
Barker, having removed only his coat,
and had on his pants and wet muddy
shoes. He was in bed. He was taken
Immediately to Mrs. Barker, who posi-
lively identified him, and at the same
time she exclaimed, "Se7, there is some
of my hair on his button.'>Sure enough,
the officer secured a number of strands
Of grayish-black hair, that correspond
ed to that of Mrs. Barker. The only
statement made by the negro was while
being carried to prison. He was asked
why he committed the crimes. He
said:
81 have been drinking and guess 1
wa drunk"
SCENE OF CRIME.
The scene of this crime which has in
it every element that goes to make up
burglary in the first degree-entering
a dwelling house at night for the pur-
pose of committing a felony-is about
a mile and a half from the city limits.
Mrs. Barker, who is about So or 60
years of age, is half witted and lives
alone with her mother, who said today
that she is now IS years of age.
The first that these two knew that
any one was in the house was shortly
after 3 o'clock when Mrs. Barker heard
a noise in the DON and asked her
mother if she was up. The mother an
swered and said that she was not. A
was standing in the room. When ask
ed what he wanted he said that he
was a "Virginia negro" and wanted to
see Jack Barker, this being the wom-
ans husband. He grabbed Mrs. Bark
er and she was dragged into the yard
and thrown to the ground. It was then
that her cries and the cries of her
mother awoke the neighbors who saved
her.
The alarm was given and the negro
tracked to his home. Just before the
officer reached the home another negro
said that he had seen Freeman Jones
pass a short while before. Jones was
arrested in the condition named, hav-
ing in his hand a railroad spike that he
had carried into bed.
The prisoner is about So years of age
and lives near the scene of the crime.

In Police Court.

Three individuals with overloads
of bad whiskey were before Judge
Doust yesterday. One, negro
against whom was entered another
charge besides that of drunkenness,
was told that he might pay a 500
inc or get out of town inside of two
hours, which latter offer was ac-
cepted.
A man giving the name of Arthur
Reed was fined S. for drunkenness.
Reed is a laborer. He came to town
to have good time, and took one
drink too many.
A good-natured son of old Erin, a
nurse by profession, was taxed sos
for his indiscretion, S. of which was
paid, and the balance was suspended
during his good behavior. The judge
gave the man a sound talk. and he
promised never to err again.

that the young offenders got off light
and that the next offense, if there
should be one, will not be so easily

brought before the court again, they
will be taken before Judge Rigg, and
be compelled to show good cause
why they should not do a little time

Tried to Die by Laudanum, But
Sheriff Wouldn't Have 1t.

A case bearing every evidence of
an attempt at suicide by both lau-
danum and chloroform was called to
the attention of Sheriff Grant Mon
day evening at the Varian hotel, when
that officer received hurried phone
call from Newt Kincaid, telling him
that he had an important statement
to make to him, and that he wished
the sheriff to bring Attorney Vestal
Snyder with him and come at once.
Mr.. Kincaid told the sheriff that
he would not occupy more than fff-
teen minutes of his time. Upon ar
irving at the Varian hotel, the sher-
iii found Mr.. Kincaid lying in bed
with an empty laudanum bottle by
his side and towel that had been
saturated in chloroform lying On the
floor by the bed. Sheriff Grant has
tily summoned physician, and with
his assistance succeeded in resusci-
tating Kincaid, who held a letter in
his hand which contained directions,
1t is claimed, for the disposal of his
affairs. He asked the sheriff to send
for a brother Of his and his wife,
before he died. Not little mystery
surrounds the affair, but as the man

turbance" by bringing baskets filled
with the most delicious refresh
ments man could be tempted with.
After the lunch, all repaired to the
banquet room and danced until a
late hour. A game of progressive
whist was arranged in the lodge
room for those who did not care to
dance.

WILL INCREASE
THEIR BUSINESS
NEW BRICK MAKING MACHINERY
Carrot Bros, the Yakima BriCkmak-
ers, Getting Ready to Meet
the Builders Demands.

J. F. Carrot of Garrett Bros. the
well-known North Yakima brick man
ufacturers said yesterday that his
firm had a large number of home or
ders waiting to be filled, as we'll as
several out-of-town orders; one of
them, from their Prosser plant, is for
$4,000 brick for immediate deliv
cry. Their business is increasing to
such an extent that the firm finds it
necessary to enlarge its plant to a
capacity of 10000 or $4,000 a day.
This means the addition of new
mud, sand and delivery elevator The
working force will be increased and
more teams and wagons for the haul
ing of their product will also be add
ed. Under the present unsettled con-
ditions of the weather the Carrots
are experiencing some little difficult
ly before it is ready for the baking
process. To facilitate this part of
the work a new steam dryer will be
added to the plant at once. They
expect in ten days to have everything
at their yard in fine working order.
and to be able to fill all their orders
promptly. An office will be estab-
lished at the yard on North Selah
street, opposite the Yakima Milling
cOmDanV They will also have a SDur
track built to their yards from the
n. P. tracks, to facilitate the loading
and handling of cars. This will be
completed within a few days.

MARKET REVIEW
Of THE WEEK
BAD ROADS RETARD DELIVERIES
Hay in Demand-Poultry Scarce
Eggs Fall i'm Price-A Few of
the Latest Quotations.

The provision market holds good
for most farm products. Feed is re-
ported steady and in good demand.
Potatoe are dull, but in the opinion
of at least one prominent commission
firm, the market could be improved
materially If the farmers would take
the trouble to sort and grade their
potatoes more carefully for the mar
ket. Hay is reported in good demand,
but the bad roads are interfering
somewhat with delivery. Poultry is
scarce and the demand strong, but
eggs, owing to the increasing sup
ply, have taken a drop in price.
The following quotations on the
various staples are the latest market
prices. 1t should be remembered
that these are wholesale prices unless
