ems over to the grand jury in the sum
of $500 on the charge of murder of the
negro Walter Richardson, whom he killed
while attempting to escape on Tuesday
night while being conveyed from Stafford
to Orrville. Stevens quickly made bond.
Upon learning Of the killing, and hearing
the many rumors afloat over the killing
Aof the negro, Sheriff Blackwell swore out
a warrant before Justice Lloyd charging
Stevens with the murder of Richardson.
Chief Deputy Townsend was sent to the
scene yesterday afternoon with the war
rant in his possession and this morning
returned with Stevens under arrest There
was one witness who saw the killing. This
was Mr.. Nat Walker, who received word
from Stevens to have a buggy at Stafford
on the night in question to convey the
negro to Orrville, where it was expected
that the preliminary trial would be held.
Mr.. Walker led a horse to Stafford
on which he rode back to his home. While
nearing Boguechitto bridge Mr. Walker
stated that he saw the negro leap from
the buggy and almost instantly saw the
fash from Mr. Stevens pistol. The shot
had evidently been true, as the negro fell
over dead along the roadside. DIR. l.. IL.
Moore of Orrville testified that he ex-
amned the body of the negro and found
only one wound that of a pistol shot,
which entered the back and struck the
heart. There had been reports that the
negro was shot six times and also that
he was hanged to the bridge
1t is stated that about a half mile be-
fore the bridge was reached Richardson
started to jump from the buggy and was
warned by the deputy that If he did he
would certainly shoot him. Richardson
had declared frequently after being ar
rested that he would not be alive to
stand his trial in Dallas county. The ne
gro had killed Mr.. Elijah Ellis, Jr.,
popular young man. and escaped to Texas
Mr.. Stevens was deputized to go after
the negro, being acquainted with him
and able to identify him.

WANT PEOPLE TO
Come NORTHWEST

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 26.-Nearly
200 delegates, representing the cities of
the northwest, have assembled there in
response to the call sent out by the
Spok ane Chamber of Commerce and
the Portland Commercial Club for
convention at which unified publicity
campaign might be inaugurated. 1t
is the first time commercial bodies OF
the four states of Montana, Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington had ever met to-
gether to promote an enterprise for
their common good, and, as was re-
peatedly remarked by the SPEAKERS, 1T
indicated new era for the north west.
The possibilities of concerted action by
all the commercial bodies brought
forth great enthusiasm among all the
delegates. 1t is the purpose to have the
cities of the four states raise large
sum of money, chiefly contributed by
The larger cities, which shall be ex-
pended for general exploitation of the
northwest, with no advantage to any
particular community, by an executive
committee composed of an equal num-
Der of members from each state. Fur
Their, it is the intentionto ask the state
legislatures of the four states individ'
ually to appropriate fund, as large at
possible, tob used by this committee
in its publicity work, with the neces
> sary condition that the money appro
priated by a state be expended who'll,
for the benefit of that state. 1t is als'
proposed that none of the money b
spent in advertising the larger cities
but that the entire funds be used TO
the making known the agricultural
i mineral, timber, fruit and mining re
; sources of the four states in the cas-
and middle west, with the idea of Sc
