UNFORTUNATE PRESUMPTION.
A Case in Which Glass Of Water Has Created
Quite Tempest in a Teapot"

A Case in Which Glass Of Water Has Created
Quite Tempest in Teapot"
1t was probably thoughtlessness
more than malice that caused Mr..
Kreider to throw q glassfull of water
from an upper story widow OF his
store upon Mrs. Agnes Prather. the
other day, for which he was arrested
and held to answer for an assault.
The matter came up Tuesday before
Justice Frost, but change OF venue
was taken to Judge Bottoms court, on
application of Mr.. kreider's lawyers,
Messrs. Vance & Mitchell, and the
time set for hearing was Wednesday,
at 2 Pm. On that morning, however,
the defendant, by advice OF his attor-
neys, entered plea of guilty and was
fined in the latter court 1926 and costs,
amounting in all to about S43.
II is we'll known fact that since
the disposal OF the Prather property in
this city, a year or more ago, Mrs.
Prather has brooded so much over the
individuality OF that act that she has
become at times quite demented and
is in the habit of walking the side

ARISING FROM HER AsHEs.-It now
begins TO look as if San Francisco will
really recover from the utter devasta-
ton and ruin threatened by earth
quake and fire. Last week the bank
clearings were $33,OO0,O0O as against
$50. 100000 for the same week year
ago. During the month OF June.
building permits were issued to the
value of ST. 100000. Trains that since
the fire have been switched to Oakland
are now running into the city proper,
and new hotel accommodations are
being provided for resumption OF the
ordinary travel. Millions are to be
spent by Hartman to bridge the bay
from the Oakland shore, 90 miles be-
low San Francisco, thus bringing
freight trains direct into the city.
The trade temporarily diverted to Oak
land and Berkeley is gradually return
ing to its former center, and one Of
the department stores is already doing
business at rate OF 81, $50, 600 year.
Soon as insurance money is paid the
old city will spring with bounds from
the ashes of desolation.

Go. Wednesday night, to consider
contract for new rates, Mr.. II. pro-
tested against the amount of water
used IN flushing sewers. He said the
daily consumption for all purposes
amounted to from 500 900 to ,000,O 900
gallons, which was indeed about twice
the amount that should toe required
for city OF our population. There
were, he said, some flushing tanks
running full all the time. which was
needless waste Of water. There appears
to be disposition on the part OF the
city and the company to adopt fair
and equitable proposition. as there
now seems to be no doubt OF al honest
intention to provide satisfactory
service and to pay for it according to
contract.

lett, Thurston County Jury Commits
sioners, under the law of 1905, have
been engaged for the past two weeks
in making up new jury list, for the
trial Of causes in the Superior Court
for the ensuing year, beginning on the
LIST inst. This list comprises about
twenty-five hundred names. Sheriff
Connolly, Auditor T. T. Langridge
and Clerk b. T. Baker. on request,
furnished the Commissioners with
much valuable information concern
ing the whereabouts OF the parties
whose names were placed upon this
list. A number of these parties were
dead or have left the country. The
Commissioners we're obliged to obtain
names from the poll books of 1904
The names of persons paying personal
property taxes were not available, the
tax-rolls in that behalf not having
been completed. Then again, in GER
tain respects, these rolls would have
been unreliable; a person may be
taxpayer, and still not an eligible
juror; he may not have been in the
State long enough to entitle him to
citizenship. Miss Anna CASTOR as.
sistant in the Clerks office, is engaged
in copying names on the list in the
court journal.

MURDERED BY HIS SISTER,
George Mitchell. the Avenser Of His Sister
Honor. Slain by Her Hand.

In view of recent happenings at
Seattle one may we'll exclaim What
are we coming to. in religion. morality
and social life!" Two murders within a
week from abnormal frenzy surely
sets the pace for conditions as unusual
as they are shocking TO the social fab.

Yesterday afternoon, in the Union
depot, at Seattle, Esther Mitchell shot
and killed her brother George Mitch.
ell, just as he was ready to board q
train for Portland, after he had been
cleared by q jury CT the murder Of
Franz Edmund Creffield, leader of the
Holy Rollers. Il is said the act was
inspired by the widow OF Creffield, but
it is quite certain that the sister was
impelled by the unfortunate craze
which seems to have caused the Holy
Roller gang to commit the most de.
grading and despicable, as we'll as law.
less, acts.
Both women claim that they were
impelled by God to avenge the death
of "Joshua," Creffield. Out upon
such blasphemy!
1t was the disgrace brought upon his
family by Creffield, who had de.
bauched his sisters, that impelled
Mitchell to kill him on the streets Of
Seattle, May 7th. The jury and the
public generally justified the act, and
it remained for one OF the victims, for
the sacrifice of whose honor q social
leper was removed, to strike down the
arm that had been raised in her de.
tense.
1t is a shame to call any emotional
frenzy that develops immortality and
leads to cold blooded murder, religion,
in the ordinary sense OF the term,
which is recognition of nobler aud
kindlier impulses of human incentive
through a merciful and loving God.
When it becomes a medium OF licen-
tiousness, lust and q subversion OF all
the morals embraced in the decalogue,
it should be arbitrarily restrained by
the strong arm of the law.

A "GET TOGETHER" meeting OF 200
prominent citizens OF Seattle and
Tacoma was held at the Tacoma Ho-
tel, Of the latter city, Wednesday
night, at which Roosevelt was endorsed,
and Ex-senator Wilson again formally
retired from politics. 1t is difficult to
tell from either OF these incidents
what the political shade Of the Assem-.
bly, could have been, or what partisan
object it was intended to subserve. 1t
is safe to say, however. that no matter
what the object may be, it will develop
in the usual Kilkenny cat fight when
its object comes 10 light.

Fresh Air For Hens

When poultry house "sweats." :" when dampness condenses on the walls and forms as frost or drips down upon the occupants 1t is a sure sign that the house is not aired often enough or that you have oyerrated the capacity of the building and have too many fowls in it. You can keep more birds with safety in well aired building than in one that is kept tightly closed For this reason from standpoint of economy of house room if for no other reason. the neces- sity of thorough airing of the poultry buildings should appeal to every one A plentiful supply of fresh air is necessary health.

To Develop Weird Cave.

Gravette. May 3G-Application has just been made for a charter by the biE Black Bear Development Compang, which is incorporated under the lass of Arkansas for s50 090. With it's main office at Gravette and branch at Kansas City. where reside number of capitalists WB0 afe interested in tbe proleet.
 Black Bear cave has an interesting history and has been the means of much pleasure and passtlme t5 visitors who have 5een through the cave.
 The first development of the cave came apoat q lew years since when q Spaniard cane here and brought With him q sncepskin map which ne claim e gave ciew t8 wonderful silver and gold mine located hereah3atS, and after several days deliberatlon he made bis visit to C. W Dunbar, who awned the land and "Touch-me- not hollow, on which the cave is located With the sheepskin map he located tree Jn which q map If the interior of the cave and directions were made -and are yet plainly visible though carved there years ago ls66, the story goes. , The entrance was located and had been used as milk-h0uSe by nearby resi- dents and the cave was closed except for some fifteen feet.
 The Spaniard told story to the effect that his great-great grandfather was une of the men who worked in the cave, and he claimed millions If bull lion were hidden away beneath the mountain
 Dunbar and others were induced to go to exeayating and for many weary months they worked gong some so0 or goo feet and found things much as the tree map showed However, when the big rock was removed, which it was said covered the bullion, it was not there and the Spaniard left the country. The cave, without doubt, has been inhabited at some time in the worlds history. Mr. Dunbar has found mineral deposits, p0tter's clay etc., which tested well, and recently got several capitalists interested and a company is now being formed to develop the cave.
 The officers are men of Kansas City and Gravette, NIT. C.. W. Dunbar be- ing yiee-preSident and general manger. This company has great confidence m the cave, the Kansas City men having had much experience in the Old Mexi- co country.
 Not only is there probability of de- veloping mineral but the location be- speaks grand place for pleasure re sort and miniature Yellowstone Park. The management will light the cave interior throughout and lay steel track and literally "tear up the mountain depth.n MT. Dunbar is now looking for good men for the work to follow. ItiS understood that these men are also to present a proposition to the city on waterworks and electric lights.
