PRICKFD BY HIS CONSCIENCE
Surrendered to Deputy Sheriff and Asked
to be Taken Back to
Mississippi

A young man about 25 years old,
fairly well dressed, with no marks of
dissipation, arrived here last Sunday
and towards evening presented himself
at the home of Deputy Sheriff Debord,
saying he was wanted in New Albany,
Mississippi, for embezzlement. After
being told by the deputy sheriff that if
he gave himself up II would be his
duty to confne him in Jail, he remarked
that he knew that. He said that in
1904 he was agent for the Southern
Express Co., at New Albany, Miss. A
package containing $152 was lost and
the company endeavored to make him
pay the loss which he declined TO do, and
left their employ. He says foT the
past four years he has wandered over
California and other western states, and
been in Washington for the last two
years. He heard thru a chance ac-
quaintance while in California that he
had been indicted in Mississippi for
embezzlement. and since that time he
has constantly been haunted with the
dread Of being arrested. The matter
has proved on his mind, he says, until
he could stand it no longer and made
up his mind to give up, 60 back to
Mississippi and stand his trial. He
says he is innocent Of taking the lost
money package and believes he can
prove that, but admits being short in
his account with the company and ex-
poets to get four or five years in the
pen.
He gives his name as Arthur Beucler,
and says he was born in Missouri and
raised in Alabama He talks quite
freely about his case and says he wants
to take his punishment.
Mr.. Debord received an answer 10
his inquiry from officers at New Albany
saying he was wanted for embezzle-
ment and asked that he be held until
extradition papers could be gotten out.
He also received a dispatch from officers
of the Southern Express Co., to the
same effect. Beucler has waived ex-
tradition and says he will go back
without causing unnecessary delay.
The Mississippi officers will probably
arrive here next week.

A SHORT AND FIERCE FIRE
Vat OF Boiling Asphalt, Tar and Rubber
Catches fire

The plant of the Puget Sound Pipe
Co., located on the railroad track in
the eastern part of town, caught fire on
Monday from the overheated compound
in which the iron used in the consTuc-
ton Of the wooden pipe for the Great
Northern power plant is dipped. The
Puget Sound Pipe Co., of Ballard, has
the contract to do this part Of the
work. Nearly two and a half million
pounds of steel is used in constructing
the pipe line. All this steel is dipped
before being used in a preparation Of
asphalt, tar and rubber, kept at a boil
ing heat. A large boiler-iron vat is
used for this purpose. For several
days past the workmen have had trouble
to keep the boiling stuff from taking
fire. On Friday last and again on Sat
urday an alarm of fire was given but
the flames were put out before much
damage was done. On Monday after
noon, however, when the boiling mass
caught fire it could not be put out, but
simply burned itself out, at the same
time destroying the shed used to pro-
tect the workmen, and small amount
of other material. The loss being con
fined to a few hundred dollars The
inhammable mixture burned very
fercely, but was fortunately not located
near any other buildings. The town
fire department has been used quite
freely to protect the property Of the
pipe company, being called out three
times in as many days.

OLD TIMER PROVES UP ON LAND
Eighty Years Old and Expects to Reach
a Hundred

We had the pleasure this week of
renewing an acquaintance made nearly
three years ago with ]. S. Barnard, one
Of the earliest settlers on the shores
OF Lake Wenatchee. Mr.. Barnard
came here the first Of this week in com
pany with his son-in-law, Oliver Bates,
for the purpose of filing on a piece of
land which he settled on in 1890.
This was his first visit TO Leaven-
worth in five years Mr.. Barnard was
born al North Adams, New York, in
1927, and is therefore 80 years old.
For a man Of his years ne IS remark
ably well preserved. At % he went
to Wenatchee lake, when Ellensburg
was the nearest railroad point, and
w. F. Blankenship the only other
white man in that country. He fol-
lowed the gold seekers to California in
1859, later moved TO Nevada, and in
1888 came to Washington. He will
be able to prove up on his land in
about two months. With out help he
has fenced, cleared and put in cultiva-
ton quite a good sized field, built
house, barn and other out houses. The
township in which his land is located
was not surveyed until about year
ago, which accounts for his inability to
get title 10 his land before.
Mr.. Barnad's homestead is located
on the site Of one Of the Hudson Bay
Fur Company's stations and, he says
he has good reason to believe it was
located about one hundred and fifty
years ago, at a time when all this
country was supposed to be British
territory. 1t does not require a stretch
Of the inauguration to picture busy
trading post on the shores Of the lake
where thousands OF Indians resorted
to exchange furs for guns, powder,
lead, beads and such tawdry fneries as
the native sons of the forest took a
fancy to. Where now Mr.. Barnard
has a well titled field OF some twenty
acres, a hundred years ago the red
man loved, bartered, ran pony races,
in short, lived the full measure of his
tribal life and finally passed away.
Now his is a neglected, and all but
forgotten race. The stragling members
of this once numerous but fast vanish
ing race one sees occasionally, swathed
in blankets Of many colors, showing
Enthusiastically the whitening effect OF
contact with the white race, tending to
strengthen the Darwinian theory Of the
survival of the fittest, furnishes abun-
dant subject for reflection TO the
thoughtful mind. In fifty years from
now an Indian will be as much of a
curiosity as is a buffalo at the present
time. Only strange to say, no effort
will be made to perpetuate pure speci-
mems Of this species of the animal
kingdom.
One could extend these reflections
to an indefinite length, but where's
the good. Its been done by others,
and more readably done.

claimed that he hoped God would for
forgive him for what be had done.
The testimony Of Colonel ouarles
was adverse to that OF Mr.. MoseIey and
at all times was In accordance with
the affidavits which IL is alleged Mr.
Moseley made and which were sent to
the Central Council OF the state Bar
Association.
Colonel Quarles further testified that
II was several weeks after the return
Of Mr.. Moseley from Indian Territory
before he had agreed to take the case
and only then after he had been urg-
ed to do SO repeatedly by Mr.. Nose
ley.
The disbarpent proceedings against
Colonel Quarles were practically con-
cluded when court adjourned at 8
o'clock this evening.
During the afternoon the defense ex-
amined several witnesses and in re-
buttal the State examined several but
no important evidence was brought out
by these witnesses.
After one other witness has been
examined tomorrow the attorneys will
begin their pleadfngs and II is expected
the case will be given the jury by
noon.
Members of the bar believe that an
appeal will be taken no matter which

great number of exceptions which
both sides have taken.
