General p. II. Sheridan today was
the day before Thanksgiving fea-
ture in national affairs. A bril-
liant gathering of civil and army
officials attended the ceremony.
President Roosevelt was the
speaker Of the occasion.
Roosevelt paid an eloquent trib-
ute to Sheridan's ability, not only
as a dashing calvary leader but as
great commander when acting
either unfortunately or indepen-

service against the Indians after
the Civil war as laying the founda-

that finally broke down the Indian
resistance. The president called
attention to the fact that the Sec
rotary of war. one of the partici-
pators in the present ceremony,
was himself Confederate veteran
against whom Sheridan fought.

PLEADS FOR 4
THANKSGIVING
VERDICT
PLEA FOR REMEMBRANCE OF
THE SEASON MADE IN BE-
HALF OF YOUNG MAN Ac-
cusED or BURGLARY.

A strong Thanksgiving plea for
the acquittal Of Harry Thompson.
the young man on trial for bur-
glary in Judge Hinkle's depart
ment OF the superior court, was
made this afternoon by Alexander
H. Gregg, attorney for Thompson.
The defendant Thompson was
arrested in company with a man
named Ryan at Cheney last Au-
gust for breaking into a Northern
Pacific freight car. Nothing of
any great value was taken but the
goods were found upon the person
of Thompson and his companion.
Thompson has not the appear
ance of criminal and testified to-
day that he was an operator OF
moving picture machines and was
beating his way to Pasco when
elected from a Northern Pacific
train at Cheney. He accidentally
fell in with Ryan and was ac-
companying the latter to his bunk
at a construction camp when
placed under arrest. He claimed
that he understood the property
belonged to Ryan and said he had
no knowledge Of it having been
stolen.
In his plea to the jury Attorney
Gregg called attention to the fact
that tomorrow is Thanksgiving
day, a day on which people unite
to give thanks for the blessings
bestowed during the year.
You, gentlemen of the jury. can
more readily enter into the spirit
of the day." continued Mr.. Gregg,
IF you give this defendant an OPP
portunity to give thanks along
with his fellow men. II you vote
an acQuittal of this young man you
can rest assured that you will have
rendered good turn to humanity,
and will have saved to a life of
usefulness young man whose
career may be forever blighted ii
you consign him to a felon's cell.
I'm the name of this great
American day of thanksgiving !
ask you. gentlemen of the jury, to
give Harry Thompson another
chance to be a man and to be able
Nn each recurring Thanksgiving
day to remember the men who be-
friended him in his hour of need"

]. c. Wren, who asked that the box
be expressed to him In Seattle.
The box was opened and found
to contain several feet of fuse,
dynamite caps and two half-pint
bottles of the deadly explosive.
The police were notified and
took the SOUP" as. the explosive
is called in police parlance, to

were carefully wrapped in cotton.
Just what might have occurred
had the box been dropped is hor-
rible to contemplate. The police
say the lodging house and its oc-
cupants would undoubtedly have
been blown up.
Wren came to the Lufkin house
about three months ago and left
more than a month ago for parts
unknown. Before leaving he stored
the box in the regular storage

board DIR. Briggs said:
