STEER KILLS ITSELF At PRISON
victs and Strikes Head Against
Corral Fence.

Death by suicide is the verdict that
was passed upon a steer at the PEN
itentiary this morning. And it was act
ually a self murder for the steer.
Warden Frank Kees and assistants
were inspecting lot Of cattle bought
for beef for the prison this morning.
The steers were in the new corral and
were an especially wild lot.
During the inspection one of the
TRUSTEES happened to pass along just
outside of the corral. One fierce old
maverick spied the convict and with a
below that Jared the officials, started
full tilt for the man, regardless OF
the intervening corral fence.
The convict gave a startled leap but
it was nothing to the wild spring made
by the steer which hurled itself head
long into the corral fence.
The new barrier stood the awful inn
pact but the steers head was split
wide open and the animal was in
stantly killed.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, July 10
Refugees are arriving in this city from
Socorro, to escape the earthquakes,
which continue unabated. Since July
2, not an hour has passed without
at least one shock. Each shock is pre-
ceded by a loud rumbling, which can
be heard approaching from the north
west before it reaches Socorro. On
this side of a belt extending from the
LarOne mountains southeast the
shocks are hardly felt.
Senor Baca, until recently district
attorney at Socorro, has fled to this
city with his family. He says all in

On December the taking of testi-
mony in the famous Peacock Mills
water suit will be commenced at Mil
ton. court being held there for the
convenience of the 300 or more de-
PENDANTS in the case.
Two water suits from the Milton
country are now pending in circuit
court and they involve practically all
the farmers of that section. The suit
by the Peacock mills is against those
who use water from the river above
Milton and includes about 800 farm
ers. the town of Milton and several
irrigation companies.
In the Little Walla Walla suit 400
farmers of the lower river are involved
and many of the issues are the same
as in the Peacock Mills suit. For a
time the proposition of combining the
suits was up. but this has been found
impossible, for the reason that the
same parties are not named in both
suits, the Peacock mills not being
included in the Little Walla Walla
suit.
AS most Of the defendants in the
Peacock suit will have to appear per-
sonally in court it will be a great
convenience for the session to be held
at Milton. While it is an unusual thing
for circuit court to be held at any
other place than the county seat, the
circuit judge has the right to hold
court any place within his district, and
at various times in the past sessions
have been held outside the county
capital.

TOLL GATE, July 19.-Worn out by
three days hard work, securing the
mountains and ravines in the vicinity
Of the Toll Gate, rescue parties search
ing for little Cecil Britain, who dis
appeared from camp last Sunday
evening, started out again this morn
ing with little prospect of finding the
boy alive unless he is being held by
men now under suspicion Of having
kidnapped him in hopes of claiming
a reward.
The greatest man hunt ever held in
Eastern Washington or Oregon is as
Stunning a most discouraging aspect
and as the hours pass by and no trace
of the little fellow is found, those con-
versant with the rugged nature Of the
mountains in this vicinity and the at
tending dangers that confront any one
lost in them, say it is doubtful if the
boy is found alive, even if at all.
All Hope centered In Draper.
All hope centered in Harry Draper
and his famous bloodhounds and their
arrival at the Toll Gate yesterday was
awaited with feverish anxiety by the
crowds of searchers. Draper and the
dogs were brought into camp on the
last relay wagon at a dead run. The
route was lined with campers and a
crowd of heavily armed men and as
the painting horses drew up at the ho-
tel and Draper and the dogs were
quickly unloaded, a mighty cheer went
up from three hundred throats.
Draper and the leaders Of the
searching parties held short confer
ence and it was decided to start the
dogs at a point near Spout Spring,
four miles southeast of the Toll Gate,
where tracks. believed to be those OF
Cecil, were found the night before.
The tracks were guarded all night
by Mr.. Britain and a few members Of
the searching party who are staying
with him back in the mountains, 50
that they would not be disturbed.
Draper and the dogs were loaded into
a light wagon and whisked on dead
run to the Springs. Nearly 100 men
who have been searching for three
days followed in rigs and on foot. Ar
irving at a. point about a mile from
The Springs Draper ordered all but
three men to stay back to give the
dogs every opportunity to pick up the
bows trail. A little shoe that was
worn by the boy few days before
MS disappearance was given Draper at
the Toll Gate and the dogs were given
he scent from this.
Dogs Worked Hard.
The dogs worked for fifteen minutes
without any result when suddenly
rail was struck and the animals,
having loudly, plunged down
heavily wooded canyon, dragging heav-
lv at the leash Draper gave the dogs
heir heads and they dashed down
through the ravine and up across a
small mountain to big barn. The
dogs kept circling over a space ABOUT
a mile square and the party OF search
srs held back, were ordered to beat
the track. In two or three places what
,npeared to be the footprints OF the
how were found in damp places. Tne
logs on striking these tracks would
make the mountains echo with their
,avings. Draper expressed the opinion
that the scent was not over 10 hours

aoub,ed their efforts to find the boy

ao.s and carried back toward the ROAD,
