Butcher Hiked Obt.

Monument has had a whiff of a
beef investigation scandal. Fred De-
Ford, who has been running a
butcher shop, has long been suspected
of using other than awful methods
in procuring meat for the local mar
ket. Saturday Marshal Irwin played
detective and discovered that DeFord
had butchered a COW belonging to
Alvin Brown. Mrs. j. r. Brown was
notified and the tate attorney COM
municated with. Mrs. Brown then
called on the suspected person and ac-
cused him of the deed which he de-
MED. on her demand he promised
to produce the hide and head Of the
slaughtered animal. DeFord bor-
rowed a horse from Gus Allen and
went out in tire direction where he
had killed the COW, but he soon re-
turned to town empty-handed. Stay.
ing in town but a few minutes he
again left for parts unknown. The
horse he had borrowed from G. Aller
was returned last night TO its owner
by Frank DeFord.-Monument En-

Hate Drove Him Insane.

Ernest Anderson of Orofino was
today adjudged insane and ordered
committed to the asylum. Anderson
was placed under $4,000 bonds nine
months ago for shooting at Banker

by making further threats against
the life of the banker. He was i'm

Yakima Was Short of Water.

Owing to a shift in the river bar
at the intake of the canal that fur
nishes the city streets, or some OF
them. with water, there came near
being a famine during the past 10
days. Since the water began to
lower in the river the supply was cut
off. A bar prevented the water from
reaching the intake.
Under the management of Street
Commissioner Hickman force of
men was put to work and a canal was
cut through the river bar to the main
stream of water This is the first
time that such a canal was necessary
to be made in the summer season to
get a supply of water. Now there is
plenty of water for the city bitches.

Hot Weather Hurts Hops.

The hot weather has been favorable
for haying and for preventing the
spread of hop lice. but will cut down
the yield. The big yield promised
three weeks ago Is not in sight. OF
course there will be some good yields
in the bottom yards as there always
are, but the continued hot spell at this
season has cut short the arming pro-
cess notably on the uplands. Growers
admit reduction in the estimate of
a few weeks ago must be made. The
market is strong.-West Side Enter

nearly every ore of half dozen
combines will be at work and an in
Vulnerable number of smaller ma
