GREAT STAMPEDE IN THE
LAKE CHELAN COUNTRY
People Stirred Up Over Gold Discovery
The Vein is Traced Two or
Three Miles

The greatest stampede which has
ever been known in the history of
the state of Washington is now on at
Lake Chelan, caused by the discovery
of gold in the mountains south OF
town. Such quantities of it have
now been found that people Of that
locality think they have struck lead
which may rival Cripple Creek.
While such a statement seems rather
superlative, the reports receiver from
Chelan today are to the effect tina:
the gold bearing vein has been traced
clear across Chelan Butte and the en-
tire strip over this mountain is being
rapidly staked.
Judge Long of Chelan, who is in
the city today is very sanguine and
says that as far as he can see the
evidences point to the fact that it is
a case of the real thing" In speak
ing of the stampede the Judge said:
There were fifty claims staked Sat
urday and a dozen or so were staked
Sunday and the stalking of claims

Chapman Endorses Blight Remedy

Considerable interest has been
aroused among the fruit growers of
the community over the pear blight
remedy discussed at length in an ar
ticle appearing in the news columns
of yesterdays World
c. H. Chapman, of the Red Apple
Real Estate company, talking of the
pear blight and the newly discovered
remedy. said today to a World rep
resentative:
Il believe that from my experience
last summer the remedy suggested
by Mr.. Pitcher must prove a good
one. Last summer as my wife was
leaving for trip to the east, she
suggested that 1 throw handful of
salt about the roots of certain wal
nut tree we had that looked as If
it was going to die. The tree was in
bad shape, and looked so hopeless

ASK ELECTION
FOR ANNEXATION
Petitioners Ask Special Election To
Bring Them Into the Municipal
Fold.
Still Wenatchee Grows.

Still Wenatchee Grows.
You can't keep good town down!
Today a petition is being circulated
asking the city council that special
election may be held for the purpose
of admitting that portion of the SUI
burbs adjoining Wenatchee on the
north to the city limits.
The question has been agitated be-
fore, and it seems but a question Of
a short time until the town will
again spread herself, and gather
them in.
The petition is as follows:
ITO the Honorable Council of the
City of Wenatchee:
I'VE, the undersigned, being IN
number more than one-fifth of the
qualified electors of the city of We
natchee who voted at the municipal
election held in the city of Wenat-
chez. Washington. December 4, 1906,
as shown by the votes cast at said
election, DO respectfully petition
that your honorable body submit to
the electors OF the city Of Wenatchee,

continued yesterday.
The lead was discovered first last
fall by William Moore and another
party and it was the intention of a
number of people in Chelan to go up
to the mountain and examine the
prospect, but the coming of snow
made it necessary to postpone the
trip to the prospect.
Gold has been found along this
vein for a distance of two or three
miles. My impression is that the
vein runs clear through the mountain
and if it does it is impossible to fore
cast what it means for this country.
The best lead struck so far is on. the
south side of the Chelan Butte.
One peice of this ore which was
broken from the ledge and brought
to town contains about 500 worth
of gold, so it has been estimated. The
peice is small one, weighing ten or
fifteen pounds.
One end of the lead has been
traced to Chelan Falls.

Washington, and to the electors re-
siding in the territory hereinafter
proposed to be annexed to said rcity
of Wenatchee, the question whethe-
such territory shall be ai.aszezs 10
the city of Wenatchee and become
part thereof.
The territory proposed to be an
nexed is as follows:
Beginning at the intersection of
the corporate limit line. which is the
center lira of Fifth street north,
and the loE water line of the Colum-
bia river, thence in q westerly d.
rection along the corporate limit
line to the intersection of the corpor-
ate limit line and the center line of
Miller street; thence in a northerly
direction along the center line of Mil
Ter street to the intersection of the
center line Of Miller street and. the
center limo of Ninth street north;
thence in 2 4 easterly direction along
the center line of Ninth street north
and the low water line of the Column
bia river; thence in southerly di-
rection along the low water line to
the place of beginning"
Then follows the signatures of the
numerous petitioners.
The city council is of the opinion
that as many in this district are al
ready receiving the advantages in
the way Of water works, ETC., It is
to the city's interests that this sec
ton should be annexed. An election
will probably be called soon.

Charlotte Norris. heavily draped in
sombre black, is the only representa-
tive of her sex present in the case
of the State of Washington against
Padre Colin.
Promptly at 1880 she took her
place on the witness stand, and was
sworn to tell the whole truth and
nothing else. Immediately back Of
Prosecuting Attorney Grass sat her
gray-haired father. across the attOr-
neys' table, beside his counsel,
Reeves & Reeves, was the Reverend
j. Colin, man old enough to be the
father of the complaining witness.
Charlotte Norris was the first wit
ness.
Miss Norris testified that Padre
Colin was in the habit of lettering
about her home; that he would
sneak in during her fathers absence.
That he would hide behind the barn
and wait until he knew her to be
alone, and w\lld then enter the
house, and force his attentions upon
her.
She testified that in the early part
of April, 1906, about the 4th or 5th,
he entered her home during her alb
sence, and concealed himself behind
a door. Continuing she said, when
l came in, he jumped from behind
the door and locked it. He then
grabbed me by the throat and
backed me into my bedroom.
He said that if ever told on him
he would come back and strangle me
to death. He said that nobody would
believe that a Catholic priest would
do such thing, even if | did tell on
him.
Under examination the witness tes-
tilted that subsequently, in the
months of May and June, she had
had Illicit relations with the old
priest
He told me / should always do
whatever a priest wanted me to do, .
said the witness.
When was your child born?" ask
ed Prosecuting Attorney Grass
1T was born January 81, 1907"
replied the witness, "and Father Co
lin is it's father
Are you now the wife of Rev.
Father Colin?" was asked
No, am not"
Here the direct examination end
ed, and the attorneys for the defense
took the witness.
Were you educated in a convent?"
asked Mr.. Reeves.
YES" said the witnes.
