WALLA WALLA HATCHERY SENDS FRY
TO WA|TSBURG STREAMS TO SPAWN

says they are as healthy a looking lot
as he ever saw. He is of the opinion
they will be able to take care of them
selves without difficulty when turned
into the streams.
Fifty dollars will be paid Frank
Sharpstein the local committeeman
on hatcheries, for the fish sent to
Waitsburg. This money was raised
among the business people of that city
who are anxious to try the expert
ment of stocking the streams in their
locality with the cut throat trout.
1t is said that the movement origin
ated from a visit of Mr.. Macomber to
this city recently when he was shown
the young trout then Matching out.
Since that time Macomber has dreamc
of nothing save trout. He told his
neighbors of it and they determined
not to allow Walla Walla fishermen 10
have the sport of catching all Of that
900 of fine young cut throats.
A rush order for 100000 trout eggs
has been sent into the department Of
the United States hatcheries a Wash
ington D. c., by Game Warden Whit
ney.
In his application for the fish, NJ.
Whitney instructed the officials not TO
wait to send the eggs by special car
as they did with the last eggs received,
but to send them right along by ex-
press.
If sent by express the eggs will be
packed in crates and surrounded by
ice. Packed in this manner they will
keep Indefinitely.

TRY To STEAL
WOMAN s BODY
Banker MagiNs Fate in The
Hands Of Attorneys

CLINTON, ILL.,. July 17.-Attempts at
stealing the body Of Mrs. Pet Magill,
for whose death her husband, Fred
erick Magill, was arrested in San Di-
ego, California, from the cemetery hero
was frustrated by the authorities. It
is supposed that Magilrs friends made
the attempt.
Ghouls acting suspiciously around
the cemetery attracted the attention Of
citizens who notified the assistant state
attorney.
The latter. finding the grave intact,
placed a guard around it, The dis
covery created intense excitement.
Coroner Jones, who conducted the
inquest, says Mrs. Magill committed
suicide. He declares he permitted Ma
gill to practically conduct the inquest.
He added:
when l called at the Magill home.
a letter written by Mrs. Magill was
handed me. She wrote she committed
suicide, saying her husbands mother
caused all the trouble. Magill feared
Objectionable men would be selected as
jurors. An unobjectionable jury was
selected. l directed my clerk to read
the letter at the inquest in low voice
as l wanted to save the family from
notoriety. 1 would do differently now"
Attorney General Stead is preparing
an opinion on the question of eXhum-
ing the body. If the body is exhumed,
the organs will be taken to Chicago
for examination by Prof Names Of
Rush Medical college.
Attorney Mitchell says the remains
will show it was arsenic poisoning and
not chlorOform in the lungs.
MagilIs fate depends on the autopsy.
The mother and four aunts of Ma
gill, his sister, Mrs. o. NJ Pond, repre-
Senting a million dollars, decided at
council this morning the banker is in
nOcent and that he needs their financial
support. 1t is reported leading men,
ber of the family declines to advance
the defense money.
Prosecutor Mitchell says he will
prove the guilt of Magill. The bed
was covered and the whole bed clothes
tucked under the mattress on all sides.
Mitchell says it was impossible for
Mrs. Magill to do this.

AARVESTERS DO WONDERS IN

fall rains while waiting for the neigh
borhOod thresher to come along.
The machine is as its name indi-
Gates, a combination of the header
and threSher.
Grain is cut and falls on the plat
form draper as on a common header.
The elevator draper arrangement is
similar also, but instead of emptying
in'o a header box to be driven to
the stackyard and stacked, later to be
threshed, the grain in the combine
goes directly into the cylinder of
the thresher. Separated and cleaned
in the ordinary way the grain is
sacked, sewed and dumped in the
field in windrows where il is picked
by wagons and hauled to the ware

From standing grain to sewed sacks
in two minutes is the way of the COM
bined harvester. the modern way of
doing things in the grain field.
Drawn by horses. anywhere from 26
TO 80 in number, the combined har-
vester at one operation cuts, threshes
and sacks the grain.
On the Ennis ranch, about two ana
a half miles northwest of town, a
Statesman reporter saw three of these
machines at work yesterday.
Cutting a swath of 20 feet, each cuts
about 35 or 40 acres per day, or, taken
together, the three machines take
care of nearly 120 acres of grain,
about 5000 bushels a day.
One of the greatest advantages of
the combine is that when it passes
over a field of grain there is noth-
ing more to be done. The grain is
safe and there is nothing to fear from

1t was arranged that Payne would
leave the city. but that he would
keep the chief informed of his whcrc-
abouts until he had paid back the
money.
Payne left Saturday oight without
notifying the chief of his departure.
He told his friends he was going to
Seattle. Others he told a different
story.
This aroused the anger of Chief
Brown who sent out a tracer and was
rewarded this morning with a wir'
from Boise announcing Payne was
under arrest there.
The warrant was sworn out yes
terday by Chief Brown.
Mrs. Payne IS still in the city. Payne
is expected here tomorrow to face
trial.
There is some question as to
whether Mrs. Payne will be held as
an accessory.
AS police reporter for the Bulletin
Payne wrote the story of the loss of
the money. In that tale he declare !
no one but attaches of the sheriff )
office knew the combination to the
vault in which the money was kept.
His cunning mixup of the facts aided
in warding suspicion from him.

penses incurred by his wife and that

The story worked on the feelings of
the chief and with rare generosity
Jerry consented to give the young

leave the city. but that he would keep
the chief informed of his where

ura Jerry" Brown, which had beer
,af. in the safe at the police station,
III : Payne, a reporter on the Even
,rc Rulletin. was arrested this morn
ing in Boise as a fugitive from justice.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Painter left
this afternoon for Boise to bring the
former Bulletin employe who wll be
obliged TO face a charge of grand lar
,4nv. with the almost certain chance
of going to the penitentiary.
Back of the arrest this morning is
q story sensational in the extreme.
March 8, Chief of Police Brown dis
covered the money was missing. AL
the time a big stir was created. Sew
eral policemen were suspected.
Later some of the chiefs enemies
declared the story to be Josh ana
insisted the money was never had or
lost. The chief took the matter phllo-
sophcally and awaited developments.
Some weeks before the loss the Bull
Irtin brought f. S. Payne from Port
land as a star police reporter. Payne
IS an artist who had never done news
paper work before, but he 'made
good" as a mixer and the Bulletin
pushed him to the front.

According to the arrangement made
today the city council will refuse to
canvass the returns from the last city

all of the old officials were to resign,
but it was announced this afternoon
there were two who would refuse t.
surrender their offices, taking the stand
