Alterations in State Records Is
Allegation.
SUIT IS STARTED N PACIFIC COUNTY
Claimed That Erasures Were Made to
Change Leases in Favor of
David Bruce.

That tideland leases on NORTH
Beach, Pacific county, were fraudul-
emily changed from five to thirty year
periods by the alteration of the records
in the Office of the state commissioner
of public lands late in 1900 Or early in
1901 is the sensational allegation in a
suit which will shortly be filed On be-
half of prominent citizens of Pacific
county against David Bruce, the rec
ord owner of the leases. Thomas M.
Vance, of this city, is attorney for the
parties, is the report that comes from
Olympia
Attention was first called to the case
today by the making public of letter
which Assistant Attorney General A.
j. Falknor had written R. H. Espy and
the other compliments, assuring them
that the state will do all it can to bring
the case to trial.
Fight to Keep Beach Open.
A number of years ago the stretch of
ocean beach from Shoelwater bay to
the Columbia river was taken up by
various parties under five year leases.
Later, upland owners and other inter-
ested parties endeavored to keep the
beach open to the public and an act
was passed by the legislature to pre-
vent further leasing Of the beach on
the expiration of the five-year leases.
A large number of the leases were
bought up and cancelled, but several
miles still remained under lease in the
name of David Bruce, of Portland.
An examination Of the records in the
state land office shows, it is claimed,
that erasures were made to change the
leases held by Bruce from five to thirty
years, and the allegation is made that
the change was made after the execu-
ton of the leases apparently for the
purpose of fraudulently extending the
life Of the leases, which would have ex-
pired shortly after the law preventing
further leasing went into effect in
1901.
Original Suit Dropped.
A suit to cancel the leases was pre-
pared during the administration Of At
torney General Stratton, but was not
prosecuted through the failure to Sc
cure summons upon Mr.. Bruce. Dur
ing the legislature of 1903 a bill was
introduced to permit the holders OF
these leases to take up second class
tidelands elsewhere in the state in lieu
of the ocean front, but the Legislature
refused to sanction the proposition.
AS far as actual commercial value is
concerned the leases are not consider
ed valuable, but from the standpoint OF
the upland owners with cottages front
ing the beach, their value can readily
be seen, as they enable the owners OF
the leases to shut out both the public
and the upland owners from the beach
AS soon as the complaint is prepared
it will be sent to South Bend and the
suit started in Pacific county.
c. B. Russell, of Seattle, the mar
who has made millions out of Seattle
tidelands, will be made a party to the
suit on the ground that he mas some
interest in the leases.

Library improvements.

The rooms Of the public library
have been remodeled and improved
and now present very neat appear
ance. The partition which formerly
divided the two rooms has been re.
moved, making one large, airy room,
we'll lighted by two windows. The
number of shelves has been increased
to meet the demand for room which
is caused by steady inpour of books,
among which will be found many that
are of great interest. Care is taken
in the selection of these new books
to insure the readers of the latest in
fiction and science. The large tab
les and also the shelves have been
stained green, and are in harmony
with the other furnishings. Neat
curtains decorate the windows, lend
ing homelike appearance which is
pleasing. Later the floor will be
stained. Among the new books re-

LOSE BATTLE FOR MANS LIFE
Miners Work Like Trogans, but
to no Avail.

Burke, Idaho, Oct. 10.-Thomas
Morton, a we'll known young miner
employed in the Tiger mine, met
death in an unusual manner Monday
afternoon. Morton was standing
near an ore chute in front of large
pile of muck" or ore, when the
muck began to slide and carried
Morton through the chute to the low
er floor, few feet below.
Morton made an cutlery and men
fastened to his aid. The other min
ers dug as though for their lives but
the muck kept sliding in upon them
about as fast as they could remove it,
Morton was suffocated before he was
reached. Several times the rescuers
got near enough to hear him call for
help. Once they heard him beg
"Keep that dirt away from my face. "
Morton was we'll known Mason,
and very popular man. He is surviv-
ed by a wife and three children and a
brother, all residing at Burk. The
body was taken to Wallace, where the
funeral will probably be held tomor-
row.
A coroner's jury exonerated the
Federal company.

Passes Away at His Home in
Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Joseph H. Gid
den, the inventor of the barbed wire
fence, is dead at his home in De
Kalb, ILL.,, at the age of 80. Mr..
Glidden obtained the idea of making
barbed wire fencing from an exhibit
made at a county fair in the early
7o's by d man named Rose, who had
driven some brads through a block,
which he then stapled on wire.
Glidden improved upon this idea
and the barbed wire of today was the
ultimate result.

Deputy Sheriffs.. One Is Killed
and Two Are Seriously
Wounded.
W0RKMEN WERE ON STRIKE
For Eight Hour Day With Ten
Hours Pay For the Same,
as Their Demand.

Pueblo Colo, May S.-About 6
O'Clock this morning something like
100 striking employees Uf the Pueblo
smelter gathered near that plant and
endeayored to keep other employees
from entering the works. The mana
ger called for aid, and Sheriff McMil-
Ian with twenty-five deputies, pro
ceeded to the plant. BY this time the
mob had increased TO 200, and several
fights were in progress. The sher-
iffs men tried TO stop the trouble,
and were attacked At this iuncture
some one fired a shot and immedi-
ately the posse fired a yOlley into the
crowd, killing an Italian,' Mike Mar
mo, and seriously wounding two other
strikers. Two OF the deputies were
badly beaten while trying to disarm
the mob. At the shooting, the mob
scattered in every direction. The
deputies are still on guard, and no
further trouble Is expected. The
cause Of the strike was the refusal
of the demand .l r.e men for the
same pay for eight hours as they fer.
merly received for ten hours.

By the Brooklyn Navy Yard
Where Large Quantity
of Copper
PIPING HAS NO PROTECTION
From Any Thief Who May Pass
That Way Looking
For Booty.

Washington, D. c.. May S.-The
Navy Department has come to the
conclusion that something must be
done without delay to protect a large
quantity of valuable material, con
sisting Of copper pipe, now stored in
the open at the navy yard at Brook
lyn. The cOmmandant of the yard has
sent a special report TO Washington,
complaining that he has not the facil-
titles to properly protect this material
from thieves. II is thought that word
must have been passed among people
of that class that the material was
acc ible, and there have been a
number of thefts, with as many more
exciting pursuits Of the thieves. Re
Gently a marine officer was accident
ally wounded by the discharge of his
revolver, while chasing persons who
had designs upon the material, and
some time ago one of the sentries
killed q man who was caught carry
ing off valuable piping. It was rec
Umueuael by the secretary. on the
strength of reports from Brooklyn,
tha d large building, 10 cost 100000,
and No De used as a CoppeTsmith's
shop should be erected at the yard,
but the House Naval committee,
which has been considering the esti.
mates. cut down this item. It is now
con Ierel important to furnish a
storage place to be built of steel, of
dimensions sufficient to take care of
material of this kind, and not leave
it a5 am invitation TO thieves II is
estimated that such a building would
C1S- $4,000.

As to Cause of ChaS. Spier's
Death in New York
Yesterday.
SUICIDE SAY THE POLICE
Murdered Contends the Coroner.
For Wound Could Not be
Self Inflicted.

New York, May S-The police Off
cials who Investigated the mysterious
death of Charles l.. Spier, confidential
agent for II. II. Rogers, reported killed
in duel with burglars yesterday, say
they have evidence that Spier COM
mitted suicide.
They found no traces of a burglar,
and the savage bull dog which accom-
panied Spier on the alleged search for
the housebreaker, took no part in the
fight if there was one.
Spier recently took out life insur-
ance for $4,000 and had to borrow
the money 10 pay the premium. There
also has been discovered a judgment
in bankruptcy against Spier for $780,
$40, and other judgments since Feb
ruary. These judgments were entered
against the Yettman Transmitting
Typewriter company. Of which Spier
was president when the company
went into bankruptcy.
Coroner Matthew Cahill said today
that he is positive the wound which
caused Spier's death could not have
been inflicted by himself, and that
Spier was undoubtedly murdered

New Rescript of Emperor
Nicholas PrOvOkeS
Russian Fury.
MEETING OF DELEGATES Is
Dispersed by POIice-.I -.Ienatieff
Is ASSaSSinated in the
Streets of kieff.

St Petersburg, May S.-The danger
of a conflict between the government
and parliament is greatly increased by
what happened during the last twen-
ty-four hours. The good impression
produced by the official instructions
that the government desired to work
in harmony with the parliament which
was accepted In good faith has largely
been dissipated and in its place the
old feeling of mistrust has been re-
vived.
Liberals are dumbfounded in view
of the semi official assurances on the
subject, by the unexpected promulga-
ton, late last night, of the obnoxious
fundamental law in a slightly modified
form This law includes exempting
crown lands from taxation, and re-
serves the power of amnesty for po-
litical prisoners to the emperor.
The indignation aroused by the en-
peror's attempt to build an artificial
dyke around the prerogatives of the
crown has been intensified by the as
founding action of the police last night
in dispensing q meeting of some mem
bers of the lower and upper house of
parliament at the hall of the Econ
omical society. One of the members
hurried after midnight to the hall
where the constitutional democrats
were holding a convention and an
nounced the action of the police.
An indescribable scene of fury fol-
lowed, after which Roditcheff, a mem
Der of parliament, in an impressive
speech. declared that the governments s
appeal for confidence had again been
false, and that the people must rely
on themselves. It was decided that
one of the first things after the as
sembling of parliament shall be to GS.

towns, and from Silver City and Dem
ing, and even FL Paso on the south

making the trip. He also referred to
the fact that Las Vegas and Ration

fed their desire to accompany the
Albuquerque antlers to the convention
thereby swelling the list from this
territory of those who will go TO the
convention and participate in the
grand parade.
After some discussion as to the
proper method to interest these out
side Elks 10 join the Albuquerque
delegation, and all go from here in
one grand body, picking up the Las
Vegas and Ration Elks en- route, It
was finally moved that letters be writ
ten TO the towns named, extending an
invitation to outside Elks to Join
hands here, and with the request
that names of those going be- sent in
as s-on as possible.
just before adjournment IT, was
moved and seconded that De commit

augh presented the case in a few
