BOLD H0lDuP WORE RED BAMDANA
Two Young Men Held Up At Elk and
Robbed Of $24.00-Thus
Escaped.

ELK, Wash, April ga bold hold
up occurred here Tuesday night and
the artist succeeded in making good
his escape.
Bert and Tom Miller, two young men
living in a shack on the outskirts of
the town, perhaps 100 yards from other
houses had just returned home last
night when a heavy-set man with a
rather thin face, and wearing a short
overcoat and a red bandanna hand
kerchief over his face, walked into the
shack and commanded the Millers to
hold up their hands. He then made
them turn their faces to the wall, and
proceeded to go through everything.
He secured $24 in money and telling
them that if they made any stir for
half an hour they would be killed, he
left. No trace of the thug has been
discovered. The affair was reported
to Sheriff Doak, and an effort is being
made to run him down but with little
prospect of success.

NORTH YAKIMA, April g.

NORTH YAKIMA. April 6.-Fol
some time past the state treasurer has
been dunning this city for the states
share of the saloon license fees
which is 10 per cent. One month age
the council requested City Attorney
Forsythe to try and negotiate COM
promise with the state. The amount
claimed by the state is in excess OF
$4,000. At the regular council meeting
Monday evening the reply of the treas
urer was read. He stated that he was
not authorized to compromise the bill
but would accept the amount in quar-
terly payments.
Councilman William M. Thompson
made a fervid speech to the effect that
the evidence of the indebtedness Of the
city to the state had been destroyed
and ended by moving that the whole
thing be laid on the table. Let them
sue," he shouted as he sat down.

MURDERER CASTOR ELEcTRocUTED
Man Who Killed Detective Higgins
Paid Death Penalty at Column
bus, Ohio, Today.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April Erred
Castor, alias Frank Connors. who was
sentenced to death for the murder of
Detective Higgins, of the Erie, Pa,
police force, was executed today by
electrocution to expiate his crime.
Castor pleaded guilty to another MUIR
shot and killed Davis when the latter,
with several other officers, surprised
him and his accomplices while they
were burglarizing the residence of
Horace Chapman in this city on June
7 of last year. The condemned man
was formerly of Flint. Mich, where
his parents, said to be respectable peo-
pie, still live.
Castor asked for a new trial, but the
motion was denied. He remained per-
fectly cool and firm to the last. A
short time ago, when the remark was
made that there was a strong agita-
ton in favor Of abolishing the death
penalty in this state, Castor express
ed himself as strongly opposed to such
course.

APPEAL FOR CHINESE WOMAN.
Order Granting Delay in Montana De-
portation Case.

BOHEMIAN. Mont. April 6.-The
prayers that were offered In the var
ious churches that the sentence of de-
portation passed against Mrs. Tom
Sing. the pretty little Chinese woman
confined in Jail here awaiting removal
to the celestial empire have been ans
wered. In part at least. Word has
been received here that Mrs Sing has
been garnted time to perfect an ap-
peal to the circuit court OF appeals at
San Francisco. and that pending this
action she will be released from Jail.
where she has been confined In a cell
just across the corridor from Lu Sing,
the murderer of her husband.
The woman's case has attracted
much attention and sympathy from the
citizens OF Bozeman. Prayers have
been offered in eight of the churches
that the sentence against the woman
might be revoked; a petition asking
President Roosevelt to take action in
the matter was numerously signed.
and a sum was subscribed sufficient
to pay the expenses Of a delegate to
present the appeal to the president in
person. This action. however has been
rendered unnecessary by the granting
Of leave to appeal from the sentence Of
United States Judge Hunt. who de-
sided that the woman was illegally in
this country and must be returned to
China.
Since her confinement in jail. Mrs.
Sing has held daily levees. being Wis
tied by hundreds Of friends and others
who called to express their sympathy
with her. She will find an asylum

ing her appeal. She is afraid to re-
turn to the laundry kept by her late
husband for fear that she might be
killed by a Chinaman who came to
town recently.

BARONETS NOT GENUINE.
Startling Revelations Likely to b
Made by Committee.

LONDON, April 6.-Some surpris-
ing revelations are likely to result
from the investigations Of the baron
etage committee which has just settled
down to work under the craftsmanship
of the Earl Of Pembroke. Its main
object is to rid the order OF spurious
claimants to the dignity and to esta-
fish some form of legal procedure by
which such impostors can be prevented
in the future.
Genuine baronets welcome the inves-
tigation. They want to be "sat upon
They have been agitating for years for
an official inquiry into their status. 1t
is not to be wondered at in view of
the amazing fact that there is really
nothing to prevent anybody from
adopting the style of baronet.
According to the officials of the COL
lege of heraldry it is open to any man
to look up an extinct barOnetcy of his

ious title before an unquestiOning
world. There are substantial advan-
tages to be gained from it. Shopkeep-
ers give longer credit to name that
carries the prefix Sir than to one
unadorned. Snobs do homage to it.
The title will carry a man far even
in America and in the matrimonial
fish pond where heiresses are angled
for it makes excellent bait. In fact,
society across the water is just as
much interested in the suppression of
bogus baronets as society here.
Those who have studies the subject
assert that on the existing roll OF
baronets-which numbers about a
Ithousand-there are something like
fourscore pretenders. who can easily
be spotted. 1t is probable that there
are at least as many more whose claims
will not stand investigation.

CHILD'S TRAGIC DEATH
Ruby Sharpe Starts Fire
With Kerosene and Cloth
ing is Ignited.

A distressing accident occurred yes
terday in West Guthrie, resulting In
the death Of little Ruby Sharpe, a child
eight years of age.
The Sharpe family live upstairs In
rooms over the Black BOttling works,
the father being an amploye at the es-
tablishment, at the corner of Fifth
street and Villas avenue.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sharpe were not at
home and the little girl attempted to
light the fire by pouring coal oil ON
the kindling and touching a match t0
the material. 1t Is supposed that she
accidentally spilled quantity of ahe
oil on her clothing. There was no one
with the child at the time her clothing
became ignited except the baby bro
ther, five years Old. She never regain
ed consciousness sufficient TO tell how
the accident occurred, The FIRST inti-
nation the negihbors had that any
thing had occurred was when the child
frantically dashed down the steep
steps, her clothing all ablaze. She was
too terrified apparently TO shrek or
scream.
Drs. Smith, Kimberly and Hahn were
called as soon as possible, and worked
with the child until half past four
O'Clock this morning when she died
frcm the effects OF the burns.
The little girls face. hands and
breast we're horribly burned and 1t was
thought that she inhaled the flames.

other split will likely follow now in
the arrangement for the district Judge
ship in this district The difference"
occurred Saturday during the meeting
at Guthrie. 1t has been understood for
the past three weeks that Judge Bur-
well was TO be reappointed Judge, but
that was only brought about after a
reconciliation had ben formed between
the judge and the powers that be,
namely a visit to Shawnee. Very en-
Enthusiastically he had also received the
Endorsement of the county central COM
mittee of this county through George
Eacock, the chairman. Then Mr.. Ea.
cocks friends want him to be appoint
ed district clerk. They ask this and
insist that 1t be given him. He did his
part. He indorsed Burwell to make
good with the judge, SO that the latter
would have no excuse for not making
him his clerk. Burwell, by reason OF
the fact that he is to be retained, con.
sented to go with the big crowd. II
was seemingly all fixed right and the
goose was soaring at very high point
But the thing is of now. What will
be the outcome, no one knows, but it
may have to be done all over again.
Saturday at Guthrie Judge Burwell
and Mr.. Eacock were both there. II
was expected the matter would be fix
ed then. 1t was. Burwell is said to
have told the fellows he would go to
a warmer place before he would ap-
point Eacock as his clerk. Judge Bur.
well does not often use such language
and he has no idea of going to the
locality designated. ii is to be infer
red that when he says such things in
that way he is not joking. He was not,
either. Mr.. Eacock came back home a
very sad man. He does not care so
much for the place. says he, but his
friends wanted him to have il as part
of the consideration this end of the or

said that ever since Ralph Ramer came
out for the adjutant generalship, that
il he was successful In landing II, that
would be enough for the faithful in the
pasture here. That may be all after
all. Judge Burwell is In rather an in
dependent position He does not have
to appoint any man the Organization"
wants. He can quit his job If he wants
to. but he does not have to follow the
dictation OF the others, because they
are not interested much In the okla
