BURFORD PROVED
HE HAD MONEY or
HIS OWN THAT DAY

The examining trial of Ed Burford,
a young man of the county, on the
charge Of robbing j. F. Grafton, OF
$40 at a Kentucky avenue boarding
house Tuesday morning, developed a
peculiar chain of circumstances, al
though many people who heard the
testimony believe him innocent.
Grafton testified that the money
was in his hip pocket while he and
Burford, who roomed with him, were
dressing next morning, that after he
went into another room a few min
utes later he missed the money. VIII
Baker, bartender at Rodfus saloon,
testified that Burford went into his
place early Tuesday morning with a
pocketbook exactly Nike that describ-
ed by Grafton, which contained a
large roll of bills. Both Grafton and
Baker testified that the pocketbook
Burford had when arrested was not
the one stolen.
Burford told a straightforward
story and was able to show that he
secured $35 from the Bandana bank
before he came to Paducah. He de-
MED taking any money from Grafton
and explained his movements minute
ly from the time he reached the city
until he was arrested. He said that
the money he had when arrested was
the same he drew from the Bandana
bank. Judge Gross, after hearing the
evidence. held the defendant to the
grand jury, fixing the bail at $500,
which he has not yet been able TO
give.
People who have known Burford
say he Is an honest. hard working
farmer, and doubt his guilt.

COLUMBIA ROCKS
To Be REMOVED
SPOKANE INLAND ELECTRIC
ED IN NEW PROJECT.

That the rocks in the Spokane ra-
pids, in the Columbia river just be-
low the mouth of the Spokane, may
be blown out by dynamite to make il
possible for boats to ascend the rive
into Ferry and Stevens counties wa
the statement made by Waldo c
Paine, general traffic manager of the
Inland Empire system, of Spokane
which is now building.
THE Columbia river at present i
not navigable for about six miles
north of the terminus of the project
ed Big Bend extension of the INLAND
Empire SYSTEM" said Mr.. Paine.
THE rapids in the river make it i'm
possible for boats from the upper
river to descend to Peach, where the
electric line will reach the Columbia.
To solve the difficulty surveys have
been made for an extension north
from Peach across the mouth of the
Spokane river onto the Indian reser-
walton to point where the river
boats can be reached.
There has been some talk for
some time of the government blasting
out the rocks in the rapids to make
the river navigable its entire length,
and if this is done there will be no
need for the electric line to cross the
Spokane river, as the only object o.
that extension would be to get up
river traffic.
ct is certain that road will be
built up the Columbia river from the
mouth of the Spokane some day
though whether we will build it OF
not | can not say

Maude Shaw in I'VE Are King
Mr.. Edmund Carroll, who is APP
pearing this season in Mr.. Walker
Whiteside's greatest comedy success
Eve Are King will be the attrac-
ton at the Wenatchee theatre on
Tuesday evening November 16.
This comedy not only added to Mr..
Whiteside's reputation as an artist,
but has secured for itself a place in
the hearts of all lovers of good en-
tertainment. Upon the announce
ment that Mr.. Whiteside would ap-
pear in a new play, THE Magic Mel
ody,' the requests for I'VE Are King
were so numerous and urgent that
Mr.. A. w. Cross decided to send it
en- tour with Mr.. Carroll as star.
Mr.. Carroll needs no introduction,
as he is no doubt very pleasantly re-
membered by thousands who have
witnessed his artistic performances
many seasons as Mr.. Whiteside's lead
ing support. Many of the original
cast have been secured to support Mr..
Carroll and the promotion is well de-
served. The production is complete
in every detail.
