DaIton's Time Grows Short.

WALLA WALLA, Oct. Sunless
ton, of Spokane, has but four more
days to live. he having been sentenced
to be hanged at the penitentiary Sat-
urday, October II.
Dalton has hopes that he will es-
cape the moose by a communication or
reprieve, because his conviction is said
to have been largely circumstantial.
He swears that he is innocent and that
he is being railroaded to the scaffold
lust because he is an eX-convict, hav-
ing served two prison sentences be-
fore, one for larceny and the other for
horse stealing.
He says that if he must die he will
do it without f1inching but that if the
law takes his life the law will be a
murderer.
| Dalton was convicted in the superior
court of Spokane county November 8
| 1905, of the killing of Policeman Henry
| Stotko, of Spokane, some time during
! the night of April A, 19O5. The murder
was particularly cOwardly, as it was
committed while the officer was watch
| ing a gang of safeblowers of which
Dalton was said to have been a mem
! Der
The trial lasted FIVE days and the
jury was out but short time.
Dalton claims his true name is Ed
ward Westerman He also went under
the name of Edward Westman.

CHANGE STEAM
FOR ELECTRICITY
Railroads Will Utilize Water
Power to Get Motive
Force.

TACOMA, Oct. S.--There is a strong
probability that the Tacoma Eastern
Railway company will, within a year
or such a matter, be operating it's
trains by electricity The Nisqually
Power company, an auxiliary organi-
cation of the road, and at the head of
which is the firm of Ladd & Tilton, of
Portland. and John Bagley, general
manager of the Tacoma Eastern, be-
gan condemnation proc edings recent
ly against the syndicate owning the
water power at the fall of the Mis-
qually, and Judge Reid has ordered
that jury be drawn to appraise the
valuation of the water rights.
The Nisqually Power company
wants the power and a site for a pow
er paint This power plant site will be
located at La Grande, according to the
showing made in court Statements
made by witnesses in the proceedings
today were that the river at La
Grande would develop $4,000 horse
power This would be far more than
sufficient, engineers say, to operate the
trains of the Tacoma Eastern. The ex-
ira power would be available for saw
mills along the Tacoma Eastern line.
1t has been said that of all the rail-
roads of the Sound region, or prob
ably the entire Pacific coast the Tia
coma Eastern is the most advantage
ously situated to make the experiment
Of changing from steam to electricity.
There is an enormous amount of power
going to waste in the Nisqually river
canyon and also in the Big Mashed
canyon and at the falls of the Mashed.
If the power company succeeds in
getting the site for its power plant at
! La Grande, the city of Tacoma will
have to look elsewhere for a power
station site. as this was the spot Sc
lected by the city upon which to pro-
vide the city's light and power.

Congressman to Face Bad Charge

DETROIT, Oct. Representative
Charles E Ward, of Bancroft, must
face trial in the recorders court upon
charge of aiding and abetting the
acts by which Edith Presley came to
her death in Hope sanitarium last
April. This was announced by Justice
Godfrey after the prosecutor had said
that his case was all in and Senator
futile, of counsel for the defense, had
declared that the defense would offer
no testimony but would rest upon the
legal claim that there was not enough
evidence to hold the respondent.
The result of the hearing will. not be
formally recorded until Monday, which
leaves Ward still under the bail bond
holding him to appear in the police
court Miss Presley died as the result
of an unlawful operation.

PETTIBoNE TOO ILL FOR TRIAL.
Prosecution Does Not Want to Com
mence Trial October is.

BOISE. Ida, Oct. 8.-The attorne--7
for the state in the case of George \.
Pettibone, charged with completely in
the murder of former Governor Steun-
enberg, held a conference yesterday to
consider the situation that has arisen
as a result of Petitioners illness.
No decision was reached as to the
course of the state. The trial of Pet
tibone is set for October Is, and the
prisoner is in no condition physically
to stand the strain of the trial.
That an operation is necessary to
relieve him the physicians declare is
certain, and his condition is such that
it may become imperatively necessary
at any time. The state does not want
to start the trial and then have ~
stopped by the illness of the defendant.
The prosecution is willing that the
case should go over for the term. But
the defendant will not consent to such
an arrangement unless Pettibone is
admitted to bail. The state wilf bit
terly oppose the allowance Of bail, yet
without being able to finish it is toe
great an undertaking. The attorneys
for the prosecution have tried to gel
the defense to agree to a commission
of physicians to examine the defend
ant and report on his condition anC
the probability of his being able to &C
through with the trial but so far the
defense has refused to consent to sucl
a proceeding. The matter will be TAX
en- up again tomorrow.

Train Struck a Bad Rail.

Woonsocket, R. 1.-The $40 train
out of this city Wednesday night for
Boston over the midland division of
the N. Y, N. H. & H. railroad, struck
a broken rail about half a mile this
side of Bellingham, and two of the
cars which made up the train left
the rails.
The train, which was moving
about rs miles an hour, was made
up of an engine, passenger coach,
smoker and baggage car. The en-
gine and the passenger coach went
over the split rail in safety, but the
two rear cars jumped the track and
went over d 15foot ombankment.
Jacob Talcofsky, wood dealer of
rs Linde street, Boston, who was in
the smoking car, was pinned under
the wreck and badly hurt. He was
hurried to Boston, where he was TAX.
en- to the Massachusetts General hos
pital for treatment. His name was
at once placed on the dangerous list
The baggage man was alone in his
car, and he, too, was thrown some
little distance, but so far as could
be learned, the latter WAS not seri-
ously injured.
Both cars, the smoker and the
baggage, were smashed to kindling
wood, and if It had not been the
coupling pin which held the smoker
to the passenger coach giving way,
a very serious wreck would probably
have resulted. The wrecked cars
took fire from the lamps and were to-
tally destroyed.
The train was in charge of Engin.
eer William Smith and Conductor Au.
gustus Crowell.

Chicago.-G. w. Fitzgerald, the
sub-treasury teller from whose cage
the $4,000 OF U. S. funds disappear
ed, has been suspended and placed
under surveillance on a trip to the

New York-Adroitly avoiding the
snares laid by Dist. Atty. Jerome and
his company of experts, DR.. Blitton
d. Evans, leading alienist for the de-
fence, defeated the ingenious efforts
of the prosecutor to entrap him into
the expression of an opinion that at
any one period Harry X. Thaw suf-
fered from a chronic form OF insan-
ity.
DR.. Evans would say that at the
time Harry Thaw was married to
Evelyn Nesbit, April 4, 1905, and
when he executed the will and codi-
ell, he was greatly distressed mental
ly and was not sound, but he would
go no further.
The alenist consistently agreed that
when those instruments were written
Thaw was in a ''melancholic frame of
mind" but would not say that Thaw
was ever in a mental condition with
in the classification of "melancholia." >"
AS DR., Evans used the term melan-
cholia 1t defined distinct phase of
insanity which authorities regard as
OF more or less permanence, If not
really chronic afiiiction. So the ex-
pert delicately Disseminated be-
tween "melancholia" and a "melan-
cholic frame of mind" that he might
not infiict upon Harry Thaw char
acterizaton which would preclude
the probability of his having recov-
cred his reason since he shot Stan
ford White.
While It was the duty Of the alien
list to account for Thaws delusions
as to his persecution by Stanford
White, he considered 1t his obligation
not to impaIe the young man on the
| point of a permanent form of mental
disease. 1t required very ready wit
and a charming distinction of phras-
es to evade a description of Thaw's
irrationality which could be con-
strued into a serious doubt that Har-
ry Thaw is now normal.
Through devious pathways the
prosecution led the expert, but at
every turn DR.. Evans detected the OBJ
ject at the end of the wandering,
anu IuIhSu aSluS bSlOlC yuC COuIu DO
| confounded.
Discussing the attitude of the dis
trict attorney, Clifford w. Hartridge
and Daniel O'Reilly of counsel for
| Thaw said they had no doubt that
Mr.. Jerome would devote his energy
to the end that their client might be
| declared to have been insane on
| June 25, and to be mentally incompe-
tent now. They appreciated that
they must use every resource to sus-
tain the contention that Thaw today
is sane and safe person to be at
large. --
Dist. Atty. Jerome disclosed his
intention to lay a groundwork for
lunacy commission, II possible,
when he endeavored to persuade
Judge Fitzgerald to allow him to
question DR.. Charles H. Bingaman of
Pittsburg as to the ancestral taint Of
the prisoner
Dr. Bingaman was called by the
defence to testify to Harry Thaw's
depression in November, 1903, imme-
diately after he returned from the
first trip to Europe with Evelyn
| Nesbit He was melancholy at that
time, Dr. Bingaman said, and the de-
fence traces it to agitation over the
confession involving Stanford White.

Children Almost Die in Snow.

Dalton, N. H.-Four children of AL.
vim H. Pike, their ages ranging from
Is to years, who had been left alono
by their parents, were driven from
their home by fire recently, and suffered
intensely in the cold and deep snow
while trying to reach the nearest house,
more than a mile away.
A 6-year-old girl lost her stockings
and shoes in the drifts and both legs
were frozen to the knees. The other
three were almost unconscious when
they were discovered, but revived lat
er.
The parents Of the children left home
in the morning, and expected to re-
turn at night but in the day severe
storm set in and they were unable to
get back
The children were alone in the house
all night and the next forenoon the
eldest started fire. After it had been
going little while the children dis
covered that the house had caught from
the overheated stove pipe.
Without sufficient clothing the chill
dren rushed out of the house and start
ed for the home of neighbor a mile
and a quarter distant,
The snow drifts we're far above their
heads, yet they bravely struggled
through some of them until they be-
came utterly exhausted.
The little girl lost first her shoes
and then her stockings and was al
most insensible, as were her brothers
and sisters when some of the towns
people who were breaking out the roads
discovered them.
They were removed to the nearest
house and DR.. John M, Page of Little.

revived later, but It Is feared the little
girl may suffer the loss Of her legs be-.
