gvernment has just announced
early dates on which it will pur-
chase the six private railroads, au-
thorization for which purchase
passed both housese of the diet last
March.
The aggregate sum of the pur-
chase price will amount to ESQ.,

the purchasing sum of each rail-

What is believed by Chief Of Po-
lice Waller to be the greatest con-
fidence game ever perpetrated in
the northwest is being investigated
by the police under his direction
and may involve people who have
been prominent in business circles
in several cities.
1t is known as. the Magazine
graft" which for some months has
been referred to in a laughing
manner by local business men as
just another one of the many ex-
periences which cost a little money,
but not enough to stir up trouble
about.
But the trouble has started by
the local police receiving letter
from C. w. Marriott of 1901 Rail
road street, Helena, Mont, which
reads:
"Cheif of police: got mixed
up with a lot of dirty thieves in
your city and I supposed they have
taken 5000 or $500 out of Helena
under false pretenses. A man who
signed receipts as s. e. Williams
and claimed to represent the West
ern Magazine agency came to Hele-
ma in April and got myself, mother
and a boy to subscribe $3.50 each
for magazines, which 1t was prom
Used would commence coming by
May and that for the sum we would
receive over 100 magazines with
out any further subscription. We
subscribed the amounts and since
then have received no magazines.
although l have written repeatedly
to the agency in pokane, which Is
said to be managed b one G. N.
Murdoch. I have received but two
answers which were signed C. N.
MURDOCH and say that as soon as
Mr.. Murdoch returns to the city
teh case will be looked into"
Many people in Spokane were
worked On the same scheme, prac.
tically all the employees of the
courthouse, the city hall and many
business offices bscribing for the
proposition.
To some the magazines came for
while, but in the majority of
cases nothing further was seen OF
any magazines outside of those
carried b the solicitors.
From this city the agents scat
tered along the linSs Of three rail
roads and worked Tacoma, Seat
tie and Portland.
Spokane proved a harvest field
and Chief Waller has taken the
matter up with view of locating

BODY STILL
IN LAKE

Engineer Munson's body has not
yet been recovered from the Great
Northern wreck at Diamond lake.
TIL ebig steam crane got hitch
on the locomotive and pulled 1t for
a distance of six feet up the In
cline to the surface Of the water.
Captain Verbeek, the diver from
Seattle, spent much time in an at
tempt to locate Munson's body, but
failed entirely. The theory now Is
that the train carried down with
It sufficient gravel and loose ma
terial to cover q human body COM
plea "
Not enough OF the engine could
be seen to show whether or not
there was anything wrong with it's
trucks or those of the tender. SUI
perintendent Hood reiterates his
belief that something amiss with
those parts was responsible for the
accident.
Diver Verbeek's submarine ar
NOR has become leaky since he
reached the scene and he came in
as far as Hillard for repairs this
afternoon. He will return tonight
and tomorrow resume his work.

in a position where they will be
forced to explain.
If the thing proves to be q
swindle Of as large scope as Chief
Waller supposes 1t Is the most
profitable graft worked along small
lines ever unearthed in the west.
The solicitors for the agency set
firth in glowing terms that for q
certain sum of money PERSONS

to whom is sent a string of maya
zines every month with a view Of
having people subscribe as per.
manent readers. Magazines Of all
degrees of worth were promised
and in a few cases were received
for time. Those who received
these first magazines were induced
to Sign recommendations to other
people, saying at was great" and
the idea Of getting something for
nothing appealed to many.

among those who recommended
the scheme.

CHILD BORN IN
THE COUNTY
JAIL

The average citizen is likely to
conclude that there must be some
thing in judicial procedure that
should be amended when woman
held as a witness is held in jail
for months while the case is pend
ing until compelled by the laws Of
nature to bring child into the
world behind prison bars.
Last aturday Alice Trimbly was
delivered Of a mail child at the
county jail. The mother has been
detained for months in charge of
the United States marshals Office
and lodged in the county Jail as a
witness against Charles Hett, a
French Canadian, arrested on a
charge of bringing a woman into
this country. The case has been
hanging fire in the federal courts
for a number of months.
This Is the first time a child has
been born to federal wards in the

A meeting was held yesterday
afternoon at Central Labor hall by
representatives of several of the
local unions and delegates from the
Central Labor union and the struc-
tural trades alliance for the pur-
pose of arranging for a Labor day
celebration. 1t leaked out this
morning that the meeting was not
as harmnious as it might have been
on account of differences between
the Structural Trades alliance and
the Central. The representatives
of the Structural alliance took the
representatives of the Central
union to task for having placed the
arm Of Tefft & Schaffer on the fair
list after that concern had signed
up with the engineers and had
agreed to employ only Union men

FROM MOB

(6crlppS news Aosociation.y
CANNONSBURG, Pa. July 3d.
Officers returned this morning with
Elmer Dempster, young negro,
charged with the murder last night
Of Mrs. Samuel Pearce and two
children and the shooting Of q
third child.
Dempster was employed on the
Pearce farm. He was the last per-
son seen about the scene of the
tragedy. No blood stains were
found on him, but the officers be-
lieve the have good grounds for
holding him. 1t Is claimed the
police have obtained a confession.
They say the negro told them he
was accustomed to abusing the
year old daughter of Pearce, and
last night she told her mother. The
mother tried to shoot him, but he
wrested the revolver from her and
killed her and two children, aged
4 and 3. He then shot an infant
lying in a cradle.
Officers brought Dempster from
Cannonburg to prevent lynching. A
mob Of 20 barded the train outside
CannonBurg and dragged officers
and prisoner from the car. In a
struggle the officers were victor
ious without killing anybody. Three
hundred men met the party at the
station here and surrunded the
courthouse, crying, Lynch him"
