PITAL
Found in His Room Over Crane Saloon
Last Night Suffering From Dead

Close to deaths door, w J. Rowe, a
railroad man of La Grande, lies at the
Walla Walla hospital suffering terri

of morphine taken some time last
night in his room over the Crane sa-
loon at 11S Main street. Whether
Rowe took the poison with suicidal in
tent or for the purpose of alleviating
pain incident to several days hard
drinking, is not known. Rowe was
still in a dazed condition today as a
result of the poison and it was a
question at times whether he would
survive the big dose.
Rowe was found by friends about II
o'clock last night, lying in stupor
in his room. Traces Of morphine were
found in the room and DR.. w. M. Ely
was summoned and for three hours
worked with the man. He was par

LOS ANGELES PAINTER DESIRED
TO ESTABLISH COLONY IN
THE PACIFIC.
Advertised in Danish Papers for Men
to Become Members Of "Leaque
Of Oceanic"

WASHINGTON, January Ito
found colony on an island not so far
out from the Golden Gate that habita-
ton would be too isolated and seclud-
ed, himself to be king with loyal sub
jects doing him homage and responsive
to mis- every whim. This was the
painter or at least he led some people
in foreign countries to believe his in
remaining in this country, johnson is
not only without kingdom, but can
not even get his mail. Uncle Sam has
heard of his doings and through tne
post office department has declared that
for the present Painter Johnsen's mail
had better be withheld.
johnson advertised in Danish papers
for men to become members of the
League of Oceania" to establish COL
ony on a Pacific ocean island. They
were to contribute $1OO to the society's
fund, according to the advertisements
and in return they were to receive 500
acres of land on arrival at the colony.
A pledge was inclosed swearing the
new subject to allegiance to the
League of Oceania" and it's "chief."
Should any one be unfaithful to the
chief, ne was to be dropped from the
society,"
There was something doing in Den
mark when Johnsen's advertisement
was read. There was to be a new king
in Norway why not on an island in
the Pacific. And what opportunity to
win the favor of the new king by get
ting in on the ground floor.
Down came the Danish On United
States Consul Frazier at Copenhagen
to learn more of the promised land. He
looked about and then complained to
the postoffice department through the
department of state that Johnsen's do
ings might be open to criticism.
The postoffice department sent one
of it's inspectors out to pay an official
visit to the island, and this unkind per-
son reported that the League of
Oceania" was all in Johnsen's mind.
Neither did Mr.. johnson own any ISL
and. In fact, after finishing painting
at Los Angeles, johnson went over to
Randsburg, California, with his white
wash and brushes and wnen the case
came up, failed to make any defense.
California has boasted that this year
she has a painter in congress. Repre-
sentative Mckinley, but this painter
johnson promised to bring even more
fame than the brilliant Mckinley has
laid at the feet of MS beloved state.

and who went to Caldwell yesterday
are being sought. They are said to

and a great many minds turn to the
troubles in the Coeur d'Alenes and to
the "inner circle" which was said to
rule by blood and which has often
been described as an organization that
never ceased to pursue those marked
as victims. These believe the governor
has fallen a victim to that campaign
against the dynamiters in the north
which made his name known from one
end of the country to the other and
which Won him a high place in the es-

H|CHWAYMEN ABROAD LAST NIGHT
v J. Walker, Proprietor Of Shooting Gallery Held Up and

Vernon J. Walker, proprietor Of the
shooting gallery at 206 West Main
street, was held up by lone high
wayman at the corner of Chase ave-

last night and robbed of $40 Mr..
Walker was on his way to his home
at 43O Willow street and just round

he was startled by hearing gruff voice
command him to throw up his hands.
At the same instance a short heavy
set man stepped in front of Mr..
Walker and flourished a wicked looking
revolver.
What are you giving me; is this
joker" Mr.. Walker demanded.
In reply the highwayman pulled the
trigger and a bullet whistled uncom-
fortably close to Mr.. Walker. Throw
up your hands," the robber commanded
again n a determined voice.
Seeing that the man meant business
Walker elevated his hands and the
fellow with his gun in his hand, went
through his pockets, securing $40,

STEUNENBERG OF
IDAHO MURDERED EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING.
Struck by a Bomb at His Garden
Gate-Vietim Died in Twenty
Minutes.

Frank Steunenberg, former governor
of Idaho, was killed at Caldwell Sat-
urday night at 6:45 o'clock.
The governor was entering the yard
Of his home by the back gate at the
hour named when a terrible explosion
occurred. He was thrown some ten
feet from the spot and was picked up
in few moments by neighbors, who
carried him into his house.
When laid upon his bed the governor
asked who shot him. A little later he
attempted to sit up, then he fell back
with the words, For Gods sake, turn
me over, I am dying"
He lived 25 minutes, retaining a
entire time but being apparently un-
able to understand wnat was said to
him. The dying man was asked nu-
merous questions which were intend
ed to draw out something that would
throw light on the crime, but he fail
ed to grasp their import and re-
manned without any other utterance
until death relieved him of his suffer-
ings
An examination of the ground has
demonstrated that a dynamite bomb
was set by the post to the left of
the gate against which it closed The
body was thrown southwark inside the
fence, while the sidewalk and post
were lifted to the westward. AS the
governor entered his left side was to
the nortnward next to the post
against which the bomb lay. It is evil
dent he turned to close the gate, and
at that moment the machine exploded,
the full force of the charge catching
him on the right side.
The features were not marred, but
the body and limbs were horribly
mangled. The right arm was nearly
torn off, the right leg and right side
crushed and the left leg was also
shattered. His clothing was torn to
pieces and portions of it were found
40 or so feet away.
Whether the bomb exploded from the
| action of the gate or by means Of a
string attached to it is not known.
There was a rumor at Caldwell during
the night that the imprint of a mans
| body had been found in a ditch a short
distance away, as though the murderer
mad lain there until the moment when
his within was within his power.
Three strangers were arrested at
Caldwell during the night but all were
released, as they demonstrated they
| had nothing to do with the crime. Two
| men who were at Nampa some days

foreign Ambassadors We're First to Extend COmp|i-
mentS of the Season to the President and His
Cabinet Miss Alice Roosevelt CynoSlre
of All Eyes.

I were practically the same as those OF
year ago. A fine band Of so pieces
was stationed in the marble vesti-
bule. Before 9 o'clock line of citi-
zens began forming outside the ground
below the western gate, and before
noon it had grown several squares in
length in the neighborhood of the Cor
coran art gallery.
The procession Of fine equipages
bearing the members of the diplomatic
corps, their ladies, clerks and attaches,
reached the White House, few min
utes before II and were admitted to
the grounds south of the mansion. The
ambassadors and ministers were ush-
cred into the state dining room where
they awaited the coming Of the presi-
dent and his cabinet. Two trumpeters
stationed at the foot of the marble
staircase heralded the approach of the
president and his military and naval
aides, Colonel Bromwell and Lieuten-
ant Commander Sims. The president
came down the steps as the last notes
died away. Mrs Roosevelt, smiling
happily, was leaning upon his arm and
Immediately behind appeared Vice
President and Mrs. Fairbanks, Secre-
tary and Mrs. Root and the remainder
of the cabinet in order of precedent.
No time was lost in reaching the blue
parlor Following time-honored Gus
tom the members of the diplomatic
corps were first to wish the president
the compliments of the season, and the
first of these was the ambassador from
Austria and Hungary. The italian am
bassador ranks all other ambassadors,
but he was absent. The ambassadors
were resplendent in uniforms as upon
former occasions. The Chinese min
lister claimed, perhaps, the most atten-
ton. Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng's
heroic proportions were set off to
splendid advantage every incn by the
silk and gold he wore. After the diplo-
mats in their proper order came men,
bers of the supreme court, statesmen,
officers of the army and navy and vari-
Gus officials of the government, pa
triots. commissioners and officials of
the District of Columbia and thou
sands of everyday people.
