The attention of the authorities in
Wenatchee has been caller to an out
rage committed in the vicinity of
Cashmere, the details of which, if re-
ports are true, are most dastardly and
revolving.
It is alleged that the crime was
committed by seven young men, some
of whom are said to come from rep
resentative families of that district.
Four of the young men were identi-
fed and warrants have been issued
for their arrest. They are: Guy Pat
terson, Ole Olson, Ray Titchenal and
Will LeSSinger.
1t is reported that the young men
had been drinking heavily. and I'M
der the influence of liquor gained
courage and bravado and started out
for excitement
Being mounted, they spent part of
their time in riding their horses over
the board walks, but as this was ra-
Their tame, and because they hardly
dared stir things up too much within
the town, they started for the out
skirts of the city.

New Arrivals.

That Wenatchee proves an admir-

evidenced by the number of recent
arrivals in our midst.
Two new corners to our town are
from all appearances favorably i'm
pressed with Wenatchee. Their COM
ing will, no doubt, be celebrated in
fitting manner, though they were
not met and given the glad hand by
the secretary of the commercial club.
However, they are very welcome,
and we hope that they will be
pleased with Wenatchee.

the same is the cause of congratula-

SERIOUS OFFENCE

ward Mission Creek there is the ca
bin of Indian Felix. The hoodlums
headed for this cabin and commenc-

/ not at home, being under arrest at
the county Jail, or there might have
been a different tale to tell.
Meeting with no resistance, the
men shot in the windows, lassoed
the chimneys of the house and tore
them down, and then broke in the
doors of the cabin.
The house was occupied by the
young squaw of Felix, Moonic Mary
Katiskit by name and another IN
dian woman. Not content with the
depredations they had already COM
mitted the rowdies dragged the in
mates from the cabin to the road
and there assaulted Moonic Mary.
After committing this outrage the

in the house formerly occupied by

would shoot him. A posse will be

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Oklahoma's Bank Guarantee La

OklahOma'S Bank Guarantee Law.
Oklahoma has just experienced
the first operation of it's bank guar
antee law, which protects depositors
from loss in any financial institution
authorized to do business in the
state. A little bank which was put
into the hands of the state banking
commissioner was found to be short
S22, 900. Within an hour after TAX
ing charge the commissioner had
drawn from the state treasury money
to pay all depositors in full. Under
the operation of the law a tax of one
Ter cent is levied upon the available
annual deposits of all state banks
and the money thus raised is used
in payment in full of all depositors
of an insolvent state bank after the
funds have been exhausted. Okla
homa has about everything new and
novel in it's constitution. 1t is sort
of experimental farm for the whole
country. And it has lot of good
things started, some of which are
pretty certain to be adopted by 9TH
er states. he banking guarantee
plan is one of them. States make
laws for the regulation of the bank
ing business, and officials are charged
with the duty of seeing that the
banks conduct their business in prop
er manner. If a bank fails the state
makes good to the depositor. This
is only fair.-Everett Tribune.

Wholesome Laws VS.. 1.-The Interests"
Writing of conditions political
State Senator Grant c. Angle, editor
of the Shelton Journal, says:
Looking back over the trend of
legislation in Washington during the
past ten years, it must be conceded
that conditions now offer no excuse
for the failure to enact good and
wholesome laws, designed fOr the
benefit of the people. During that
time two malign influences, at least,
have been weeded from influence in
legislative halls, and likely the re-
naming one will disappear at the
coming session. Each of the three;
and often in combination, have cor
rupted and demoraliZed every legis-
lative session in the his tory of the
state, and to some lesser extent even
the last session. The railroad lobby,
senatorial contests and the liquor
interests are the three disturbing
factors to which we refer, their in
fiuence being a factor in all legisla-
ton now on the statute books. 1t is
to be hoped that all temptation may
be removed from the path of future
Legislators, to the end that public not
private interests may govern.
