RAILROAD
OFFICIALS HERE
LEADING MEN OF THE GREAT
NORTHERN RAILROAD ARE IN
WENATCHEE TODAY.

The Daily World acknowledges a
call from a number of the officials
of the Great Northern road who have
been in the city since yesterday.
Among those who are here are w.
w. Broughton, general traffic man
ager, with headquarters at st. Paul;
w. P. Kenney, of St. Paul, assistant
traffic manager; M. J. Costello, OF
Seattle, assistant traffic manager;
Fred w. Graham, of Seattle, travel
ing freight agent with headquarters
at Seattle.
Darius Miller, president of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, is al
so here in his private car.
Concerning the significance Of
their visit they were, of course, very
reticent. 1t has been breezei around,
however, that one of the objects OF
their visit was to select a site for a
depot. This is pure rumOr, however,
but there are a number of facts that
point this as the probable reason OF
their visit.
A. L. Rogers, of Waterville, is
also here for the purpose of interest
ing the Great Northern men in the
line which has been surveyed up the
Moses Coulee.

w. G. Stacy is all worked up over
his hay in Knapp's Coulee. A few
weeks ago he purchased at Sheriff's
sale piece of land in this coulee.
There was twenty acres of hay land
in the tract.
He heard the other day that the
hay had been cut and shocked up.
AS to who did 1t he has not the least
idea. Whether it was the work of
some would-be hay thief or whether
it was some one who had orders TO
cut it who did not own it he does
not know and can't find out.
There is about $500 worth of hay
on the tract.

FUNERAL AT LYONS is
ATTENDED BY MANY
Engineer GiIStrap is Buried
There Monday.

Under escort of members from Mar
shall Division, B. L. E., the remains
of Mr. o. j. Gilstrap who met tra-
gic death Sunday in the railway
wreck west of Americus, were carried
Monday morning to Lyons, his form
er home, for burial in the afternoon.
Quite a party of friends, both lad
les and gentlemen, accompanied the
funeral party and bereaved family
upon the sad journey.
Mr.. Gilstrap was thirty-five years
of age and had been in the employ of
the railway since early boyhood.
While yet a lad he began his ca
reer with the old Sam" road, now
the Seaboard, as newsboy. Later
he. entered the shops here, and from
the position of fireman he was pro-
NOTED to that of engineer probably
ten years ago.
OF genial disposition, affable and
a agreeable manner; he made friends
easily and everyone held him in high
esteem. The Seaboard held no more
faithful or efficient employe, and his
tragic death will be deplored in every
department of the service.
Mr. Gilstrap resided on Barlow
street, this city, and is survived by
his wife and five children

the large building was filled to its
capacity, while hundreds stood upon

comfort spoken by the officiating
minister. The handsome casket was
covered over with beautiful floral en-
blems, typical of the pure sweet life
that had just gone out in the flush
and bloom of young womanhood Fol
lowing the deeply impressive ser
vices at the church, the funeral rites
were concluded in the cemetery near

WITH BULLET IN BRAIN
CASHIER IS FOUND DEAD
AOMO WALTERS, CASHIER OF THE BANK OF ELAWIE FOUND DEAD
MONDAY N0HT LAYATORY OF THE HOTEL WINDSORSUICIDE
THE NATURAL THEORY.-RASH ACT SHOCK TO HIS FRIENDS
ACCOUNTS WILL BE EXAMINED

With blood oozing from a bullet
hole delivered centerly in his fore
head, and with clothing dyed red
therefrom, Alonzo Walters, cashier or
the Bank of Ellaville, was found dead
shortly before 8 o'clock last night in
the lavatory of the Windsor Hotel.
The body reclined in a half sitting
position in one of the closets. His
clothing was intact while the straw
hat pushed back from his forehead
disclosed the CHASTITY hole penetrating
his brain
Beside the seat, dropped from his
nerveless hand, lay the implement of
destruction-an automatic pistol of
latest pattern
Police Chief Feagin, Lieut.. Barrow
and Policeman Johnson were among
the first to arrive at the scene of
stragedy A careful inventory of the
situation was made, while all of
Cashier Walters papers were taken
in charge by the officers.
These are expected to throw some
light upon the tragedy, if further light
is required.

build up, not tear down The speaker
mentioned lew of what he was
pleased to call the mistakes of Mr..

son had fulfilled his contract, while
being given valuable franchises. Mr.

Col. DOdsOn's Side

Col w. A. Dodson secured the
floor He gave the history of the con-
tract from his side, and told of his
various vicissitudes in getting the
necessary backing. All arrangements
were made now, and the work was
going on until ordered stopped by
the City Council. Mr.. Dodson denied
that he had brought on the panic, as
he said had been charged by infer
ence, but admitted that he had made
mistakes.
Mr.. d. NJ Borum, in order to
pacify matters, offered a resolution
that committee of seven be given
charge of the matter to investigate
and take such action as they thought
proper. After some discussion, this
was defeated
The original resolutions introduced
by Mr.. &C. Hawkins at the Wednes-
day night meeting were then taken
up. These resolutions called on the
City Council to declare the contract
null and void, and in case that body
failed the Board was to Institute le-
gal proceedings to that end.
On motion of Mr.. George D. Wheat
ley, the resolutions were tabled
After some discussion a resolution
was introduced by Mr. G. w Bacot,
and carried to the effect that nothing
should be done until Sept 2, by the
Board of Trade, and that on thaat date
a meeting should be held to take some
action one way or the other and let
the Board of Trade dispose of the
question as one for their discussion
Following the adoption of the re-
solution, the meeting adjourned.

ROAD BOND ISSUE MAY
BE VOTED ON NOV. 3
Petition Will be Submitted
to Go. Commissioners.

1t is quite possible that the ques-
tion Of issuing bonds to the amount
of $4,000 or 100000 for improving
the roads of Sumter will be submitted
to the voters of the county at the
November election.
For some weeks there has been
talk of such a step, and some of the
good. roads advocates have been
making quiet efforts to have the mat
ter brought before the people for a
decision
The sentiment for good roads has
been growing steadily, and the dis
cussion of the convict lease PROPOSE
ton has aroused great interest in
the plan, as the felony convicts will
be available for this work. To get the
best results, machinery must be
provided, and this requires money.
Petitions will be prepared asking
the County Commissioners to call
an election for the purpose of allow
ing the citizens to vote on the ques-
ton of issuing bonds. 1t would be
more economical to have the vote
taken at the same time as the nat
ional election.
Those who favor the proposition
point out that the bonds would be
issued only as needed, and that it
would perhaps be two or three years
before the entire issue would be
foated In the meantime the people
would be getting the benefit of the
improved highways
One strong argument made for the
issue Of bonds for road building is
that the increase in value of lands
will provide swelling of the tax
receipts which will meet the interest
on the bonds, and also provide
mixing fund which will eventually
retire the bonds
The disposition of the convicts is
now before an extra session of the
legislature. 1t is regarded as prac
tically assured that each county will
be allowed to not only retain its owl
misdemeanor convicts, as at present,
but will also get all of its felony
convicts, which are now leased to
outside parties by the state. In ad-
dition to. these, any county may bid

NAMED

Until Sept. 2 the Board of Trade
agreed at its adjourned meeting last
night to give Col. w A. Dodson to
make an exhibit of his ability to
carry out the contract made by his
company with the city in regard to
the lighting and street railway propo-
sition.
The resolution to that effect was
introduced at last nights meeting by
Mr.. G. w Bacot 1t came after two
hours discussion and after 'the origi-
nal resolution offered Wednesday
night by Mr. C. c. Hawkins had been
tabled. The tabling of the resolution
of Mr.. Hawkins looked like the ques-
ton had been disposed of, and an
adjournment seemed about to be ta-
ken. But the subject flared up again,
until the resolution of Mr. Bacot was
put and carried.

of Ellaville, Mr.. Walters drove to
Americus yesterday morning. After
his arrival he spent the morning hours
about the streets, but late in the
afternoon could not be found
Parties desiring to see him could
not locate him, although it was said
last night he was seen several times

Evidently Mr. Walters, with bust

locked himself in the closet and blew
out his brains. Even the clerks on
duty in the hotel Office, fifty feet away,
did not hear the pistol shot

Gall Issued for Meeting on

The colored republican brethren OF
the Third District may get little

yesterday for meeting of the dis
trict executive committee on Monday
Hext. The call was issued by Chair
man Humber, although no intima-
tion was given regarding the purpose
of the powwow to be held in Ameri-

colored "repub" is not taken very
seriously in this baliwick, and as the

es to arrange for camp-meeting
rather than a campaign the forecast
ed hubbub will not create ripple,

Reports of Business Affairs

Following fast upon the discovery
of Cashier Walters dead body came
rumors regarding his business affairs
These were not entirely definite, al
though from sources authentic comes
the statement of an alleged discre-
pancy in accounts.
1t is not entirely known that there
was any shortage A discrepancy of
about $4,000 is said to have been dis
covered and Cashier Walters was re-
quested to explain it. This he might
have done satisfactorily, had he
chose to make statement.
So far as actually known his af-
fairs may be all right, but the dis
crepancy in figures was not explained
by the cashier, now dead
1t was said last night that, about 8
O'Clock warrant for Mr.. Walters de-
tention was issued but not served,
the officer probably being unable to
find him 1t is not known what the
warrant charged, and that is prob
ably immaterial now.
Mr. Walters was as well known in
Americus, perhaps, as in Ellaville
and his tragic death caused sorrow
among his friends here

Inquest Held BY Coroner

AS there were no witnesses to the
tragedy an inquest at the hands Of
the coroner was necessary, and this
formality was performed late last
night The verdict was in accordance
with the story as given above; suicide
being the supposed cause
Mr.. Walters was So years of age
and stood high in social and business
circles in the little Gown where he
had resided so many years. He has
a large family, and many relatives in
Schley and Sumter, and these are
shocked at his rash act.
Even should the alleged discrepancy
of $4,000 be found to be true the bank
is amply protected and will suffer in
nowise thereby.
