MOTORMAN KILLED
BY YOUNG ROBBER
SHOOT FRANK L. BROWN AS HE

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 4.-Frank
l.. Brown, 28 years of age, motorman
on ? street car No. %, was murder
ed at 1913 Monday morning by one
OF four highwaymen at the end of
the street car line, South 39th and
+ streets, and conductor G. r. Will
son was held up and robbed by the
quartet of highwaymen, who took his
watch and SIS in money.
Brown was shot as he stepped
from seat in the car to the yesti-
bule to start his car toward the city.
The bullet struck him in the region
of the heart and he pitched back
ward, dying within few seconds.
The conductor was forced to run
the car to the end of the line, four
blocks, where the robbers jumped off
The dead motorman was an old
employe, but about six months ago
quit the company's service and went
to visit his parents at Eureka, Cal,
returning last week.
When P street car No. 81, in
charge of MotOrman F. II. Potter and
Conductor Mason, pulled up to the
end of the line preparatory to leav-
ing at midnight, four young men,
none of them over 20 years, stepped
up to Potter and one of them said
How many more cars are coming
out tonight?"
Potter told them and then the
young man said:
There's parasite running
around with my sister and I'm going
to lick him." Continuing the fellow
said that he should have come out on
the car before. He seemed to be
looking for the sister mentioned also.

Sign Boards to Aid Travellers.

Commissioner Ruply has inaugur-
ated a movement that will be of i'm
mense value and aid to travellers in
this district, having sign boards paint
ed showing directions and distances
from all cross roads the boards to be
erected at every place where there can
be doubt as to direction. The need of
these signs is becoming more notice
able with the increase in automobile
parties going through the country. for
every dav they have stopped at farms
to inquire or have gone far out of the
way by taking the wrong road. 1t is
probable that these signs will be placed
over the entire county.

A new combined harvester that
promises to revolutionize the methods
of harvesting grain is now in actual
use on a ranch on the Coppei, near
Dayton, Wash, owned by Mr.. Loun-
dagin. The machine was made by An
derson and Quesnell, of Moscow, Ida
no, and is built on an entirely new
plan. 1t requires only six horses and
two men to operate it, and is said to
do the work in good shape at cost of
Sc an acre less than any method in use
at this time. 1t cuts swath of six
feet. threshes out the grain and then
delivers it into the sacks. TIE cylin-
der is about 10 inches in diameter and
is Y inches long, the full width OF
the machine. None of the grain is
lost and none of the grains are broken.
The machine can cut and thresh about
u acres day at the minimum cost.
and weighs only 2700 pounds.

COUNTY ASSESSOR
MAKES REPORT
Whitman County Has Less
Livestock than Last Year
But of Better Grade.

County Assessor Duff has just pre-
pared his report, which shows marked
decrease in the number of head of live
stock in the county as compared with
the assessment of last year.
The report for 1907 shows 20, 715
horses owned in the county and they
were valued at $916. 10. This year
there are but q, PSI horses, valued at
1891 $40, a decrease of $500 in number,
but they are of better class and more
valuable. This is largely due to the
improved stock of horses and the many
fine stations owned in this county by
farmers. This report includes "horses,
mules, asses and stations kept for
breeding purposes.
There are l3, 900 less cattle in Whit
man county than last year, the num-
Der now being 4,072, valued at 5000, :
1856, as compared with 81, 631, valued
at 1924. 500 last year, thus showing a
marked increase in value as we'll as a
decrease in number. Last year s re-
port shows that cattle were assessed at
but Sc. "a per head, but prices and val
ues have shown marked increase
since then.
There are but 10, LOG sheep owned
in the county now, as compared with
30, 029 in last years report. A num-
Der of prominent sheepmen have sent
their locks to Montana and Idaho,
where there is better range for them.
The sheep this year are valued at S34,
030, as compared with valuation of
S., $50 last year.
Hogs show a marked increase in
value and number. Last years re-
port shows but 1887 hogs in the county
valued at $38. 555. while the report Just
issued shows POSTS hogs owned in
the county, and they are valued at
SCI, 545. This gives a grand total OF
81. $40, 500 for the horses, cattle, sheer
and hogs owned by Whitman county
farmers, basing the valuation on that
used for tax purposes. which is about
half the actual value. 1t is supposed
to be 60 per cent of what they actually
bring at auction. This would give ar
actual market value for the livestock
of Whitman county of from 5000, 0OC
to So, 600, 600. which shows that Whit
man county farmers do not depend fol
income solely upon the wheat crop, foi
which the county is noted.

CHANCELLOR HENRY MaccRAck-
EN- DECLARES BIG INsTiTU.
TONS ARE ENvELoPED BY
BUSINESS CORPORATIONS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The exist
ence OF university trust In the east
managed, perhaps unwittingly. along
the lines Of commercial monopolies
was charged by Chancellor Henry
MacCracken. OF New York university
DR.. MacCracken first asked:
How does 1t happen that New
York university has to depend SC
largely on the sacrifice OF professors
and the collection of small subscrip-
lions for its current support?"
And he answered the question In
part as follows:
THE anomaly arises from the adop.
ton and PRONUNCIATION. possibly uncon-
sciously, by our older and richer
neighbors In the university business OF
the monopolistic heresy that no room
exists In the metropolis for second
university. This was announced more
than 20 years ago as IL It had been
an axiom by the president OF a neigh
boring university. l regarded II then
as whimsical utterance OF an indivld.
ual The experience OF 20 years he's
convinced me II is really the creed of
our oldest and richest university neigh
bors.
They have been so enveloped by
business corporations that they un-
Willingly classified themselves with
owners of railways or producers OF
steel and iron, oil and tobacco. sugar
and lead, instead OF classifying them
selves with charitable and religious
bodies, where they really belong"

MYSTERY SURROUNDS CASE OF
JOSEPH MAUER, MiCHiGAN,AvE.
TAILOR, WHO SAYS HE WAS
FOLLOWED BY STRANGE MEN.

Joseph r. Mauer, who conducts q
tailor shop at No. 634 Michigan-ave.
was found unconscious in his shop al
10 o'clock Friday morning. and the
police Of the Trumbull-ave. station are
greatly mystifed over the circum
stances surrounding the case.
The discovery was made by Patrol
man Edward Vader, and his atten
ton was called to the shop by a citi
zen. who smelled gas while passing the
place. The officer broke In through q
rear window and found Mauer In q
heap on the floor. Two gas Jets were
open wide, and gas was also escaping
from a burner Mauer uses In heating
his irons. When Mauer recovered
consciousness. as a result of the Off
GERS efforts at resuscitation, he de.
clared he had been robbed. His watch
was gone and his pockets were empty
the latter being turned inside out. He
says he had 1854.
Mauer was taken to Red Cross hos
pital. where 1t Is thought he will re.
cover. At the hospital Mauer gave
more details OF the alleged robbery.
After he started for home, Tuesday
night, he remembered having left his
watch in the shop. He returned to
get 1t. and says two men followed
him inside. AS to what happened aft
er that his mind Is blank, he says.
Lying beside the UNCONSCIOUS man
was note scrubbed In German, on
a piece OF pasteboard. II reads:
Il put you to sleep and made you
bed as good as ] knew how. Sleep
peacefully. Your. friend, John Der
rfcsh."
Mauer claims TO know nothing OF
the note, and says he knows no person
OF that name.
Mauer had business trouble about
year ago. which affected his mind.
and for time he was an inmate OF
the retreat at Eloise.
