CASHMERE WHITECAPPERS

Election night five young men Of
Cashmere entered the tent of All
Boyd and Bud Upper, dragged the
men from the tent and gave them a
severe beating. The assailants were
Bert Searles, Will Lessenger, Robert
Gavin, Elmer Fly and Frank Stark.
The matter caused great INDICATION
at Cashmere, and arrests were made
the morning after election of four
of the young men. Stark had skipped.
Warrants were issued by Justice of
the Peace Amos, of Cashmere, but
there is so much feeling over the
matter that a change of venue was
taken to Judge Dan Fleisher's court
at Monitor, and the trial will be on
Saturday, November 81. The par
ties concerned in the case are all
well-known residents of Cashmere,
and the assault was the outcome of
some former trouble.

the Spokane fair only weighed 81
ounces, and was not so perfectly
formed nor colored.

COSGROVE TO
CALIFORNIA
OVERNOR.ELECT WILL AT.
TEMPT TO REGAIN HEALTH
MEAD TO BE IN CONTROL
DURING ABSENCE.

Spokane, Nov. 12.-Samuel G.
Cosgrove, of Pomeroy, governor-elect
of Washington, who is going to
with Mrs. Cosgrove and his physi-
clan In an effort to regain his bro
ken health. has accepted the offer of
Governor Albert E. Mead, incumbent,
to carry out any plans or policies he
may suggest during his absence.
There are some who believe that Mr..
Cosgrove's condition from Bright's
disease is SO critical that he will
not live to be inauguratei next Janu-,
airy. In consequence, there is much
speculation as to who will be emit
tied to the Office in the event of his
death before he takes Office.
The constitution of Washington
fails to make any special provision
there is provision which appears
to touch upon the question. This
says:
1.-The supreme executive power Of
the state shall be vested in gover4
nor, who shall hold his office for a
term of four years and until his sue
cessor is elected and qualified.
The question to be decided In the
event of Mr.. Cosgrove's death Is
whether or not he has already been
elected or whether his election is not
complete until after he has been duly
inaugurated. Prominent lawyers
express the opinion there are three
possibilities: That Governor Mead
coul1 hold 0vor for fwo Or fo,,r
years; that NJ. E. Hay of Spokane,
lieutenant governor elect, would be-
entitled to the once and that q spe-
ciaI election VIII be necessary.
Mr.. Cosgrove Is native Of DeA-
ance county. Ohio. and has been .
resident Of eastern Warrington 4

of the state to send representatives
to this meeting. The date will also
be fixed for the meeting.

Max Bass, immigration agent of
the Great Northern, has written Sec
rotary Gellatly of the Commercial
club, for an exhibit of the best ap-
pies that can be gotten together for
an exhibit at the international stock

to look after matters that need at

Chsnqed His Mind.

A gentleman who once served on an
Irish jury tells an amusing story of his
experiences. When the hearing was
over and the jury retired to their room
to consider their verdict they found
that they stood eleven to one in favor
of an acquittal. but the one happened
to be very complacent old gentleman
who rested his chin upon the head of a
thick bamboo cane and announced de-
family that he was ready to stay there
as long as any of them.
The hours dragged on, evening ar
rived, and the old gentleman obstinate

arranged themselves to make a night of
it. From time to time the old gentle
man would contemplatively suck the
head Of the cane.
Finally he fell asleep. and the cane
dropped heavily to the floor. Then one
of the jurymen picked it up and found.
to his surprise. that it was nearly full
of Irish whisky. The eleven passed
the cane round, relieved it Of its con-
tents and then awakened its slumber
ing owner. Slowly he lifted the cane
to his mouth, looked at his watch and
then arose with the announcement

How would you like to live in an

habitants Of a world so small that you
cannot even see 1t beneath a micro
scope?
The scientists tell US that each atom
is a solar system. with its central sun
and revolving planets in their orbits,
and that little atom people live and
love and fight and die there and never
know but what they are just the big
gest and most important folks that
live. There are military atomites
there, no doubt, who strut around and
get tangled up IN their swords and
give orders in gruff voices: actor atom
ties who star in atomic theaters and
are adored by lovely atomite maidens
and criticised by the trenchant pens OF
the newspaper men.
There Is every reason to believe that
life in the atom is much like life in the
earth and that the kings and emperors
there make war on their distant enc

Walking Along the Tracks
Near JaCkSon's Hill, E. A.
Bennett Meets Death.
NO ORDINARY TRAMP,
BOOK WHICH HE HAD IN HIS
POSSESSION TELLS OF THE
INTERESTING CAREER WHICH
HE HAS HAD.

This morning f. A. Bennett. an un-
known man in this part Of the cOun-
try, while walking along the Pennsyl-
vania tracks near JacksOn's Hill just
west of Centerville was struck by an
engine and instantly killed, his spine
being fractured. The body was placed
on the train by the crew and taken to
Cambridge City, where it will be held
in an effort to locate the relatives Of
the man.
Judging from letters and a book
found on the body. Bennett was no or
binary tramp. 1t appears that he has
led an adventurous life as he bore hon
CRADLE discharge papers from the Eng
lish Merchant Marine and from the
English army. In the little book
found on the man it is stated that he
served in the English light cavalry
during the Boer war and took part in
the battle of Kimberly. His nativity
is given as American. While a sailor
before the mast Bennett shipped on
vessels plying between Liverpool, Eng
land and South African and Austria
man was bound for when he met his
death is unknown.
Acting Coroner Wampler states that
Bennett was neatly clad, had about
twenty cents in his pocket and was
carrying a bundle of clean clothing.
He was apparently about fOrty-five
years Of age. 1t is the general i'm
preston that Benefits home was in
St. James, New York. as he had on
him letter signed by his son, James
Bennett, and dated from that point.
DR.. Wampler states that the unfor-
tunate man was Of fine appearance
having straight, soldierly build and
a handsome. intelligent face. 1t is the
general impression that Bennett was
one of those rare characters who fol
lowed the life of a soldier of fortune
and who called wherever he rested his
head home"

RANKS ARE DEPLETED
Are Fewer Justices Of Peace
In County Than Ever
Before.
LITTLE MONEY IN OFFICE.

The ranks of the justice of peace of
Wayne county are being depleted rap
idly When asked this morning
what he believed to be the reason,
Judge Fox stated he does not know
but the county would be better off
with none at all. The real reason is
believed TO lie in the fact that the
laws have tended to cut off so many
sources of remuneration that the Of
flee is not found to be as desirable as
formerly. The Justices office has
been regarded for some years as a pO-
sition requiring little effort and offer
ing large returns.
A few months ago Merton Grills,
Justice at Hagerstown. resigned his
position. John w. Shoemaker of New
Garden township withdrew from the
position last March. AlOnzO Daugh-
erty of jefferson township, submitted
his resignation to the county clerk to-

A GREAT WRESTLER.
His Encounter With the Gar and His
iqnobie Reward.

lanobIe Reward.
One OF the stories of Peter the Great
which are current at the court of st.
Petersburg is OF the great cars wres-
Ting match with young dragon.
Once in the imperial palace-so the
story goes-Peter was at table with
great many princes and noblemen.
and soldiers were posted within the
hall. The car was in a joyous mood,
and, rising, called out TO the company
Listen, princes and boyars! Is there
among you one who will wrestle with
the Czar?" There was no reply, and
the car repeated the challenge.
No prince or nobleman dared TO wres-
tie with his sovereign. But all at once
a young dragon stepped out from
the ranks of the soldiers on guard.
Listen. orthodox car" he said. Il
will wrestle with thee" well, young
. dragoon," said Peter, Il viii wrestle
with thee. but on these conditions: II
thou throwest me. l will pardon thee,
but If thou art thrown thou shalt be
beheaded. Wilt thou wrestle on those
conditioner
Il will, great car" said the soldier.
They closed, and presently the soldier
with his left arm threw the car and
with his right he prevented him from
falling to the ground. The sovereign
was clearly beaten. The car offered
the soldier whatever reward he should
claim. and he ignobly claimed the
privilege of drinking free as long as
he lived in all the inns belonging to
the crown. What became of him his
tory does not say.
