FOUL MURDER
WITH NO CLUE
TO WORK on
New York Police Are Scour-
ing City For Some Trace
of Man Who Committed
One of the Most Battling
Crimes of City.
BY Associated Press.

New York. Dec. 12.-With only the
bloody finger prints of the murderer
to assist them. the police today are
securing the city for some trace of the
man who committed what appears to
be one OF the most battling crimes in
the city's criminal records. His vic
tim, the young woman whose BODY
was found last night in a padlocked
and barricaded apartment at 337 East
Eleventh street, has not yet been iden-
titled, and thorough search of the
rooms had revealed nothing which
will aid the police in their task Every
distinguishing mark has been remov-
ed from the woman's clothing and pic
lures had been cut from their frames
and burned. together with several
pieces of paper which may have
borne addresses.
The discovery of the crime came
about through the anxiety of the
janitress of the fat house to collect
rent for the apartment, nearly two
weeks overdue. The woman's body,
with the head almost severed, was ly
ing on the Dlood-soaked bed The
room was in confusion. Broken
chairs were scattered about and
wearing apparel which had been re-
moved from an open trunk was
strewn about the room. Under the
woman's body lay a razor, its edge
hacked and broken. The condition OF
the body indicated that the woman
had been dead not less than two
weeks. On the door knob and on the
sheets were the finger prints of the

FINE PENDLETON GAMBLERS.
Green Cloth Sharks Enter Plea of
Guilty Before Judge Bean.

Saturday morning Jesse Sellers, Les
ter Swaggart and J. A. Ogg, changed
| their pleas of not guilty to guilty and
they were each subjected to a fine by
Judge Bean, says the Pendleton Trib-
une. They were charged with gambling.
In the cases of SWaggart and Sellers
Ia fine of 500 each was imposed by the
court and it was explained that these
men had been involved in gambling
cases before. Ogg was fined but $50.
Sellers, Ogg and Swaggart were
charged by the district attorney with
ihaving conducted a roulette game over
the Ogg saloon on Main street. When
the recent grand jury was in session
some evidence against the three men
was laid before them but at that time
there was not enough to justify an in
dictment
After the grand jury had been dis
missed a confession from John Tenn
pie that he had lost money to the trio
in roulette game. The three men were
then indicted and when arraigned
pleaded not guilty, through their attor-
ney, Col. ]. H. Raley. Shortly after the
Haaga jury had been discharged this
morning the case against the three
gamblers was called and in behalf of
his clients Col. Raley changed the for
mer plea.

AGE OF THE MARKET DAY.
(Seattle p. ID

The Prosser Republican Bulletin an
nounces that a regular market day has
been named for the capital city of
Benton county. The second Saturday
In each month has been selected as
the proper time for this commercial
festival. On that day every avenue OF
trade will be open for buyer and seller.
1t is planned to arrange for the care
OF farm wagons and teams and give
the ruralists everything possible to
make their stay in the city a time OF
pleasure and profit. The merchants
propose doing extensive advertising in
the local papers and offering special
inducements for trade. The CONNER
cial club has the honor of perfecting
the market association, and will give
it all the financial and moral support
required.
A change has come over the farm
ing communities of the west. There
is an air of independence in every dis
trict. The farmers are no longer in
debt. They own their homes and
lands and enjoy the best the country
affords They have the money to
purchase the necessities and comforts
of life. Every modern facility for
assisting them on the road to peace
and prosperity lies at their doors.
The rural mail puts them in touch
with the daily market centers. The
telephone places them on the broad
highway of commercial knowledge.
They understand the value Of all that
they have to sell and that which they
must buy. There are no mortgages
hanging over the farms to cause /;
curtailing of expenses.
The commercial cities are dependent
upon the farmers for support in every
manner possible. Money spent in the
home city assists in paying freights.
hired help and taxes. If prices are
not right, the farmers have the mail
order houses to supply them with all
their needs. Then the local merchants
suffer in proportion to the trade go
ing away from home. 1t is to their
financial interest to hold the farmers
in both buying and selling. The mar
ket day helps to solve that problem
1t is a good thing from every stand
point. 1t breaks down many common
barriers between city and country and
places all on a higher and better plane
of existence. The Prosser business
men have done the right thing in the
right place. Make the market day a
success.
