eve of his parole, William E. Cook, a
prisoner at the Indiana reformatory at
Jeffersonvilfe, serving sentence of
from one to three years for petit lar

that he is guilty of murder-committed
in the most cold -blooded way, Nov. l8,

Cook IS victim was R. E. Perkins, who
lived in little cottage According to
Cooks story, he shot and killed Per-
kins, robbed him of $35, and then set
fire to the house. Cook was not sus-
pected strongly enough to cause his

oner was accidental death. Later, Cook
was arrested for stealing bicycle, and
was convicted. He was sent to the re-
formatory in February, 1905, under the
indeterminate sentence law. He has
served his first year, and having been

MAY FIND MURDERERS.
Clue to Men Who Killed A. Irvine and
Son Of Baker City.

Rawlins. Aug. IA definite clue
has at last been obtained by the au-
thorities here to the perpetrators of
the most -blooded and dastardly
crime in the history of this county
the murder of A. Irvine and his son.
Tom, in an emigrant wagon east OF
this place on the prairie. who were en-
route from Baker City, Ore, to Chey-
enne, and thence TO their home in
Oklahoma.
r. f. Weber. a ranchman living
south of here, purchased n span of
horses about the time the murder is
believed to have occurred and these
horses have been positively identified
as team driven by Irvine at the time
he was killed. They were bought
from two men who We're strangers to
Webber and undoubtedly the same
men who killed Irvine and his son.
Webber has given the officers an
excellent description of the supposed
assasslns and this description will be
sent out broadcast over the country.
II is hoped as result OF this discov-
cry that the murderers will be ulti-
mately apprehended and brought to
Justice for their foul crime.

CHAIN NEARLY COMPLETE.
Expect to Prove Standard Made He
gal Contracts

Chicago. Aug. 1.-When the feder-
al grand jury convcnes in Chicago one
week from today. final steps will be
taken toward forming a complete
chain of evidence against the Standard
Oil company and some of its high of
ficials. which the government prose.
cutors hope will lead to indictments
and prosecutions under the anti-re-
bate law.
To this end Attorney General
Moody has had some of his best legal
talent at work here for several days,
analyzing the evidence taken before
the grand jury ut Cleveland a few
weeks ago and preparing a line of
procedure that will fortify the testi-
mony already adduced. The chief
task of weaving a net about those al
legged to be guilty of law breaking,
will fall to the lot of John ]. Sulli-
van, district attorney for the northern
district of Ohio, who is in charge at
Cleveland.
Others who will take part in the
proceedings will be District Attorney
c. B. Morrison, recently assigned to
take charge of prosecutions in mo-
nopoly cases; Special Agent T. C. NJ.
SCHNEIDER of the federal department
of commerce ard labor, who labored
for many months under the direction
of Commissioner Garfield in gathering
material for the latter's report on the
transportation of oil throughout the
United States; Assistant Attorney Cen
eral oliver E. Pagin, and Assistant
District Attorney Francis Hanchell.
The proceedings will be based up
on deals made between the Standard
Oil company and the several railroads.

REVIEW OF WHEA
Walla WaIla Is Harvesting SSO Per
Cent of Normal Or b

Walla Walla. Aug. 1.-Ha Q b-
are well under way, but as yet no new
grain has made its appearance upon
the local market, and grain dealers
express the opinion that hauling will
not commence much before the mid
die of next month, although some
small consignments are expected al
most any day.
The grain which has been brought
in to be tested has shown that there
are two distinctive grades In this
years product. Fall sown grain on
the heavier land invariably grades No.
l, while the spring sown grain on the
flat and In other light-land localities
falls below this and in some cases be-
low the No 2 standard.
The yield for the most part will be
better than farmers have been ex-
pecting, and between IS and % BUSH
els will be the average yield. OF
course there will be many fields where
the yield will be considerably less
than this figure, but these will be the
exception and not the rule.
Walla Walla county, according to
estimates furnished by grain men,
will show up this year with a 60 per
cent crop. and they say we will be for
tunate If the percentage does not fall
below this figure.
Farmers generally are quite op-
timistic over conditions as they now
appear, and there will be many who
will meet with happy disappointments
I'm harvesting a larger crop than they
dared hope for.

REWARD FOR CECIL BRITAIN.
Father of Lost Child VIII Offer One
Thousand Dollars.

Walla Walla, Aug. 1.-More than
two weeks have passed since Cecil
Britain disappeared from the tollgate
and nothing has been heard of him
since he wandered away and no new
light has been thrown upon the SUBJ
ject for several days.
1t is possible that had Milan Laflin
not been accidentally shot while in
the search for the lost child, the boy
would now be safe with his parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert L. Britain.
When Laflin was shot he was on what
he supposed to be hot trail. and one
that would lead to the recovery of
the child. He stated that he could
have overtaken the guilty party by the
next day at noon. Undoubtedly Mr..
Laflin has good grounds for his suspi-
cions, as he stated that If he were for
tunate enough to get well he would
find the child.
Mr.. Britain stated this afternoon
that he had heard nothing from the
Portland officers in regard to the re-
port that the boy was seen in gypsy
camp in that city. He is confident
that the boy was not lost, but thinks
he is still in the mountains some
where near the tollgate.
Cecil's father is arranging to offer
a reward of $1,000 for the recovery of
his child, and is having a cut made
from a late picture, and as soon as
this arrives, cards containing a min
ute description of the boy, together
with his photograph, will be sent
broadcast throughout the country
A telephone message received today
from DR.. Robinson. who is with Milan
Laflin at the tollgate, states that Laf-
lin is getting along nicely.

ROBES SENT To
SAN FRANCISCO
WOOLEN MILLS MEETING
SOME UNUSUAL DEMANDS.
Old Patrons of the Mills Enrolled as
Customers and Large Volume OF
New Business Received-An Order
just Received From Albuquerque
Mill Work Delayed Lately Because
OF Sickness of Skilled Operatives.

That the Pendleton woolen Mill
will enjoy a successful business now
that it has resumed operations is in
dicated by the large number of or
ders that have been received by j.
Sheuorman & Son since they took
charge of the plant.
Since the mill resumed a month or
so ago, many requests for robes have
been received from former customers
of the mill in all parts of the west,
and considerable new business has
been secured. Yesterday a shipment
of robes was made to a San Francisco
wholesale house, and Mr.. Sheuerman
says this is the first time any busi-
ness has been done with that city.
Also, an order has just been received
from Albuquerque, n. NJ.
According to Mr.. Sheuerman, it will
be his policy to sell to jobbing houses
whenever satisfactory prices can be
secured, as by so doing a large out
put can he used and the goods are
sold with less expense.
Arnold Sheuerman, salesman for the
mill, is now in Montana, which state
has always been good market for
the Pendleton mill products.
Sickness Interferes.
Just at present the operation of the
mill has been considerably hindered
owing to illness among the operatives.
Several of the force, some of the
weavers being in the number, have
been unable to work during the past
week or two, and as a result the mill
has not been working at its full ca
pacity.
