TYLER MEETS DEATH IN ELLENs.
BURG.
Caught Between Engine and Cars
and Badly Mangled-Dead
When Found.

While switching helper engine
into a frAiSht train bound for Seat
tie at Easton about o'clock SUNDAY
evening l. A. Tyler, Northern Pa.
cifc brakeman, was run down and
killed. He was caught between the
engine and string of cars and badly
nangled, his head being crushed. He
was dead when other members of the
crew discovered him.
It is the usual custom to place a
helper engine in all westbound
freight trains at Easton. 1t is be-
lieved that Tyler was caught un-
awares and proper signals were not
given before the cars were backed
ento him. The dead man was resi-
dent of Seattle and about % years OF
age. He leaves a wife in that city. It
IS not thought he has other relatives
in the west, as he came from the east
only a few months before enterin
the employ of the Northern Pacific.
The remains were taken in charge by
the coroner of Kittitas county and
will probably be turned over to the
friends to soon as they call for them.
Tyler was formerly employed by
the Northern Pacific on run out of
Tacoma, but had been located at Sc
attic for some time. He Is, well
known in both places. He had been
in. the employ of the road about a
year.

BILL IS INTRODUCED.


DR.. Owens Adair is in receipt of q
letter from Senator Reed at Olympia
stating that he has introduced he,
bill providing for the sterilization Of
certain classes. The senator does moi
hold out very encouraging prospects
of its passage this session. as the SEN
ate is swamped with bills, Of which
more than one-half will likely be
brought up again. Mrs. Adair says
she is not surprised, but would like
to have It appear for discussion II
nothing more at this session. She
hardly expected favorable action.
Mrs. Adair says she will be on hand

ABOUT THIRTY.FTvE AT FIRST
MEETING.
Place for Idlers and Transients Gives
Promise of Productive
Future.

The Gospel mission opened in the
Sloan building Saturday evening un-
der very favorable circumstances,
about thirty-five people being pres
ent.
DR.. F. L. Hayden of the Presby-
terrain church presided. The scripture
reading was Luke 10. the call OF
Zaccheus, showing the purpose of
Christ's coming, which was to save
men. That is the purpose of all
missions and churches today. He
said cathedral may be embellished
by music and liturgy and the elo-
quence of preaching, but If it doesn't
save men it is failure. This little
mission. without preacher or the
ceremonies of religion, If it saves
men, is a success.
Words of encouragement were
spoken by many. Some of the
thoughts brought out are as follows:
The mission will help to save many
boys who are strangers in the city.
The mission will help to retard the
saloon. Men do not go to the sa-
loon from choice, but because there
is no place where they can loaf and
read.
Some people say If the mission is
a success they will help it. Now Is
the time to help. After it becomes
a success it will take care of itself.
Lend hand, boost.
Most fellows prefer cup Of good
coffee rather than a glass of beer.
Joseph Broulette pleased the audi.
ence with a solo. The music will
be one of the regular features Of the
mission.
Mr.. Ward Gardener, a travelling
man, presided at the organ.
DR.. T. e. Webb said: when we
go fishing we must go where the fish
are. and If we would save men we
must go wheresthe lost ones are"
The room is clean, light and airy.
The lunch counter is neat and ct.
tractive. and the reading room is
waiting for donations of books,
and papers.

S35O,OO0 LAND DEAL.
One of the Largest Ever Made in
Eastern Washington.

One OF the largest land deals that
was ever made in eastern Washing
ton was closed here within the last
week. says the Yakima Republic.
Coffin Brothers Of this city, have sold
their immense land holdings on the
Columbia river, consisting of $4,000
acres of raw land, to a Spokane tyn-
dicate, headed by the Mormon Broth
ers, the well known hotel men, who
yesterday leased the Yakima hotel
from Mrs. n. S. Johnson.
The negotiations have been under
way since the 18th Of this month, but
the final papers were only executed
within the last few days. The price
has not yet been made public, but
that the deal has gone through is un
deniably true for it was confirmed
this morning by Stanley Coffin, who
has had the management of the Cof
fin Brothers lands under his direct
supervision.
From an unofficial source it has
been learned thatthe land was sold
at profit of 100000 to the Coffin
Brothers.
1t will be remembered that two
yc9rs ago Coffin Brothers bought the
great IaLcacf and Benson range on
the Columbia river east uf Kittitas
and Yakima valleys, which eml,rac-
ed one Of the largest tracts undcr pri-
vate ownership in the northwest The

ing !ahl. 1t is also rich in timber.
Nr Coffin stated this morning
mot the $4,000 acres were divided
about equally. one third composed of
glazing, one t''ird IN farm land and
the talcn 'n'in timber. The lend was
bought originally for "rHzing pur-
loses, and It is here that Coffin
Prothers havo pasturcf their stock
In tho last year much nf their stock
has been cid. and arrangements have
been made with the new purchasers
of the land that Coffin Brothers are
to be allowed to keep their herds of
sheep and cattle upon the land un.ll
other provisions havr ben made for
the disposal of the stock. 1t is prob
fahle that the syndicate will later buy
out the Coffin Brothers sheep and
cattle interests as it is understood the
new comers intend to use the land
for range purposes.

Frye. Bruhn viii Fight Tax Suit.

The suit in tbs superior court re-
sulting from the attempt of the coun-
" authorities to make Frye & Bruhn,
the big meat firm of the state, pay
taxes on $4,000 worth of livestock
kept in this city last year, promises
some interesting developments. The
papers filed in the superior court by
The prosecuting attorney allege that
the heads of the firm conspired to-
eother to defraud Yakima county and
when this was brought to the atten-
tion Of C. H. Frye in Seattle, he be-
came very indignant.
"If those Yakima people have any
tax money coming from us, they will
get it," said Millionaire Frye. "The
feet is, they aretrying to sandbag u.s.
and we do not propose to stand for
ii. Frye & Bruhn do not and have
not owned any cattle in Yakima
county. Frye & Bruhn own cattle
here and pay all their taxes here. We
live in Seattle and all our goods are
assessed in King county. We do not
expect to pay twice on the same
| stock"
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Tay-
lor says that he has proof that the
| firm did own cattle in this county,
Notwithstanding the above statement
] by Mr. Frye. He also says that in
qulrics Of the king county authorities
| fail to show that the firm which Lives
IN Seattle and pays all its taxes
! there" has paid one cent of taxes
upon the sheep and cattle owned by
It. In fact, Mr.. Taylor hints that Mr.
| Mrye is putting up very stiff bluff.
II is learned that the alleged trust
is believed to have pursued a regular
course of tax-dodging in almost every
| county in the state. The accusation
that the Yakima county authorities
are trying to "sandbag" the firm Is
| absurd on the face of 1t. The cattle

upcn t"om were payable. Frye &

In the last year, however, much Of
the land embraced in this great tract,
particularly that lying around Trini-
dad and Quincy on the Great North
ern railroad, has been developed in
to fine farming land. 1t has been
discovered that the land is especially
adapted to the ecultivation of wheat
and hundreds Of acres fere last wear
sown in this cereal and brought ex-
cellent results. Several thousand
acres are now being plated into
farms for wheat raising, and induce
ments are being offered to settlers to
come in and improve the land.
Mr.. Coffin said this morning that
the sale of this property is the larg-
est enterprise in which they were ever
connected. Rumor has it that It no
doubt involved deal of $3.50, 600.
The property cost them originally
about 100000.

In the ball game yesterday between
the Boosters and Oldtimers the for
mer won by score of IL to 4. In
the first four Innings four runs were
made by the first team men and the
game was theirs throughout. OF the
scores made by the Oldtimers three
weIc made in the fourth inning and
one In the seventh. But seven innings
were played and the Boosters did not
go to the bat for their last half of
that inning.
For the Boosters the lineup was
as announced Saturday excepting
that Ball played second and Williams
right field. Otto Turner and Bryson
caught for the Old timers. while Lor-
inner was in the box all during the
game. Houchin played second for
the Oldtimers. Graves acted as UNI
pire.
While the game yesterday was not
as close as the one a few weeks ago.
nevertheless the first team was given
good workout, and the Oldtimers
received much praise for their i'm
promptu playing. The defeat was
taken gracefully hv Manager Estes
and the players on the losing team,
though they declare they would have
made better showing had they been
able to use their former lineup.
Iorimer was once more the star of
the team.

The Denver News says of the opin-
ion Of Justice Brewer on the nation
al reclamation act and the authority
of the government to take charge of
and reclaim the arid land of the
country;
The opinion of the supreme court
of the United States in the Kansas
Colorado water suit is attracting
widespread attention In the west, be-
cause of its bearing upon the public
lands question which Is to be discuss
ed at the convention to be held in
Denver June IS, 10 and 90 The
whole public lands question hinges
upon the constitutional right of the
general government in the control and
use of these lands within the state.
While Judge Brewers opinion in
the water suit advances no new defi-
nltions regarding the constitution. il
reiterates a number of important de-
clsions CT the court heretofore hand
ed down and discusses the theory of
the constitution at some length.
The court puts especial emphasis
upon the fact that this is govern
ment of enumerated powers One of
the powers that is not posscsse by
the national government is that of
sovereignty within state. Th. ma
tirn1l government has no T"wer -
enact law that attempts To override
a law made by the state in the le-
gitimate exercise of local sovereignty.
This point is of the utmost import
ance in view of the fact that the
claim is made that the United States
Is I'm fact today attempting to over
ride and exercise local sovereignty
uron the forest reserves within the
western states.
The withdrawal of all timber lands
within state and the merchandising
Of the timber thereon, It is now
claimed is not authorized by any
clause OF the constitution.
As Is known, the government mas
made a rule with the force of law,
that cattle or horses strayng upon
unfenced reserve lands of the govern
ment constitutes trespass.
ohu'i 'hiS '''''' ei'N iN'''"i oN'
ernment has assumed local sovereign
" upon its reserved lands within the
state without the consent of the state
by making laws providing for the
government of citizens of the state
uron such lands and authorizing Of
ficers Of the United States to make
arrests for the violation of such laws
and to try persons so arrested in the
United States courts, without regard
TO the state laws or the state courts,
thus, It is claimed, establishing a sep
arate government within the state.
