Little Johnnie Malloy will be held
in the Spokane juvenile Jail indefi-
nitely, according to an order issued
by Judge Miles Poindexter, who
since Friday has had the case of the
youngster under consideration.
For boy of less than a dozen
years Johnnie has had quite a career.
About three weeks ago Johnnie
ran away from his home in North
Yakima, boarded a train and arrived
in due time in Spokane. His theft of
several bicycles and disposal through
forged letters has been given wide
publicity since then.
Whether an attempt will be made
to find the man who bought the horse
can not be said at the court house
In the prosecuting attorneys office ii
was said that the testimony of the
boy might be sent to the prosecutor
of Yakima county, but that it woul
be up to him whether any attempt
was made to prosecute the man for
receiving the stolen horse.

Skeleton OF a White Man Is
PlOughed Up On Naches Farm

The skeleton of what is supposed
to be a white man was unearthed
early Tuesday afternoon on the ranch
of Everett Cleveland in Naches val
ley. Mr. Cleveland is finishing up
the land on his ranch and while
Henry Church was blowing across a
high, dry knoll in the center of the
ranch the bones were thrown from
their grave. The furrow is a little
deeper in the center where he was
blowing and the implement threw A
of bones out.
Last year while Mr.. Cleveland was
finishing up his land about two feet
of earth was scraped off the knoll
and a fill made, and when the plow-
ing was started this season the grave
was easily unearthed.
Church reported the matter to Mr..
Cleveland and they Immediately
started for the spot with shovels and
dug up the remainder of the bones.
Mr.. Cleveland stated that the skull
was well formed and had the appear

ance of that of a white man. The
teeth, he said. were all in the skull
ana We're Well preserved. Practically
all the bones of the skeleton were
found.
The right side Of the skull is frac-
tured, which would lead to the belief
that the man was the victim of foul
play. NJ. Cleveland stated that the
bones are well preserved and he is
almost positive that 1t is the skeleton
of a white man.
Mr.. Cleveland's ranch is located in
the lower Naches valley, the school
house being on the east end of his
ranch in the center He has owned
the ranch since year ago last
March and states that this is the first
time any human bones have been un-
earthed on the ranch.
The bones were again buried by
Mr.. Cleveland and Coroner Frank no
titled of the find. The coroner will
leave this morning for the Naches
and make an investigation of the
skeleton.

Yakima Is
Affected
1T Is SAID BY OPINION OF AT.
TORNEY GENERAL.
Discusses School Sites
Claimed District superintendent
Have Not Right-The Boards
Idea of Problem.

The attorney general has handed
down an opinion to the effect that I'M
der the school laws now on the stat
ute books district superintendent
have not the right to select a school
site for new building without put
ting the matter to public vote. This
decision is an important one and will
apply directly to school directors in
this city in school district No. Z on
account of an expenditure of $113,.
600 being authorized recently for q
new high school site, according to a
report from Olympia.
Clerk of the Board of Directors
Compton and President of the Board
Rand stated that the people prac-
tically voted upon this when they
voted bonds at the recent mass meet
ing held for that purpose, and the
amount of the bond issue was to be
used for school buildings and the
buying of sites. James o. Gull
wished to state he has not formed an
opinion and will not until he sees the
opinion.
There has been considerable oppo-
sition to the school site purchased By
the board for the new high school
and a number of citizens presented a
petition to the board of education
asking that public meeting be held
to vote upon the question and to de-
eide where the high school should be
located.
This petition was turned down by
the board, as 1t was the general idea
Of the board OF directors that the
mass meeting held covered the point
In question. and II the citizens Of
the school district had any particular
Part of the city in which they desired
the building to be erected they
should have signified their desire at
that meeting.
At the mass meeting the citizens
authorized the board of directors to
issue bonds for the purchase Of school
sites and school buildings, and the d.
rectors believe that that fully covered
the matter.

ANONYMOUS LETTERS REVEAL
LOCATION OF BODY.
In kalama Murder Case
Strange Developments Cause Sensa-
tion-Sheriff Unearths Body
at Designated Spot.

PORTLAND, April 30.-A special
to the Oregonian from Kalama,
Washington, says two anonymous let.
tiers and the finding of dead mans
body at the identical spot described
in the letters may play an important
part in the trial of Tom and James
Baxter. father and son, charged with
murder, which begins at Kalama to-
morrow. The Bakers are accused
of killing James Foster, fellow
tramp, at Woodland, Washington,
March 81 last. The two anonymous
letters were received here at Kalama
last night. Both communications ha
been written in Spokane and under
different dates by two different men.
One was dated April q and was re-
ceived by District Attorney Hubbell,
and the other was written two days
before and addressed to Sheriff Kir-
by. The letters contain practically
the same information. The writer's
say by going to a point about two
and one-half miles from Kalama the
body Of man would be found, hid
den in the brush, 100 yards from the
Northern Pacific track, also that the
unknown man had been killed with
.S2 caliber winchester, and that he
was brother of James Foster.
Told BY Hobo.
The writer's said each had been
told by hobo, and rather than see
the Baxters punished for the crime
they did not commit, the writer's said
the hobo declared he would report to
the authorities and confess to the
crime. The sheriff today went to the
designated spot and found the body.
The victim had been shot twice in
the head, apparently while on the
railroad track, and the body drag
ged into the brush. The dead man
was we'll dressed, about IS years old.
There was nothing ON him to reveal
his identity. 1t is supposed the man
was one of gang implicated in the
Woodland ARRAY and he is among
those whom it is known escaped from
the posse. 1t is presumed for some
reason the man was afterwards killed
by his companions.

Inspector Perley of the Washing

North Yakima resulting in the death

intends to cause an investigation to

strong arguments based on this data
in support of law to give the COM
