Bellingham, Wash, oct. 21.-Ac
cused of having robbed the registered

past three or four months, A. w

years a letter carrier of Bellingham

en-. Hadley merely youchsafes the in
formation that he docs not know
why he STOLE"
IIadley has been watched by the
postoffice officials for some time, but
not until today, when, it is alleged
he opened a decop letter, was suffi-
cient evidence secured to justify ar
rest. The amount Of his alleged pee

taken money orders varying from 81

EVIDENCE Of
PRIMITIVE SKILL
RELICS UNCOVERED BY
la GRANDE EXCAVATORS
Samples Of Clay Modelling and Clay
C0lOrings Rivaling Modern Science
Observation-Disclosures Image of a
Monkey Found Six Feet Under the
Surfacc-StOnc Work Also Found
Age Is Unknown.

Remarkable evidence of primitive
skill that almost surpasses present in
genuity, Is being uncovered in the eX-
cavation work being done in the rear
of the national bank building. where
newt spring will be erected the NJ. q
NJ. company's warehouses, says the
La Grande Observer.
one Of the most startling discover
les made by the excavators was the
finding of product of early skill in
clay modelling and incidentally involv-
ing clay coloring that will rival mod
ern science In this respect. The arti-
Gle Is a miniature image of mon
key. but aside from the clever model
ing demonstrated, there Is evidence of
color work such as was only invented
by white man 25 years ago.
The age Of the clay monkey model
is a mystery. The parts that remain
are perhaps 3 inches in length, some
what defaced. with the arms missing.
The model is hollow, though possessed
with considerable hardness. Though
partly broken off. there is much left
OF peculiar facing on the clay that
Is beautifully colored in Indian design
George Kreiker, the contractor, who
has the relic i'm his possession, affirms
that the white man discovered the
process used on that little model, only
% years ago while II is evident that
the piece Of inert clay in question is
extremely aged.
Six Feet Under Ground.
The little thing was found six feet
under ground. The solution to the
problem Of how 1t got there is given
in the historical fact that jefferson
avenue was once a deep slough. The
gravel formation in which the eX-
cavators are working. bear out the
statement. The waters must have at
some time in the remote past, washed !
the model into the slough, where 1t
lodged. only to be found today after |
perhaps century or two of time.
Another freak has been uncovered |
today which also bears evidence of /.
primitive handiwork. II is a hard |
rock eight inches in length, and worn !
cylindrical by water erosion. In the /
center Of the hard rock is a 4-inch |
hole about one inch in diameter. 1t |
was evidently drilled with tools such |
az cannot be made in the present day. !
II is supposed the drilling took place
farther up the river and that by slow
stages It was washed down until it
odged in the slough to be covered up
~ collateral deposits when the river
reoeded to It's present cnai'-
lel.

When He Picks Up Game.


Seattle, Wash, oct. 27.-Pushing
through the brush for a quail he had
shot b. c. Gibson OF Dunlap, a Seattle
suburb, found the body of man to-
day In the woods on the ridge about
two miles due east Of Riverton, a sta
ton on the line OF the Puget Sound
Electric railway Nothing in the pock-
cts of the clothing OF the dead man
gave clue to his identity.
The spot where the body was found
was about two miles from any human
habtation. City Detective Jack Whit
an, who investigated the case, believes
there Is no doubt the man met a vo-
lent death. The mans right cheek
bone had been broken in two places.
Above the right temple there is a
clean cut in the skull that appears to
have been made with some sharp in
strument.
While on the ridge about two miles
from Riverton and directly south Of
the gun club shooting grounds Glib

blazed away. one bird dropped from
the covey and fell in a clump of BUSH
es. Mr.. Gibson plunged through the

LABOR OFFICERS
 HEW TO THE LINE

Mobile, October 16.--John J. Russell, secretary of the Mobile Typographical union, today received letter from Frank Morrison, secretary of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, which is making a determined fight against Ia 1t and the republican candidates, which, among other things, says:
 The officers of the American Feder- ation of Labor are hewing to the line and letting the chips fall where they may. We propose to use our very best endeayor to elect those who are friend- 1y to our legislation and defeat those who are opposed to it, so that when the new Congress convenes we will have sufficient representatives friendly to our measures to have tn em enacted into law. The reports we receive from all over indicate that unusually good results are going to accrue from the campaign which is now being carried on'

KERN HANDS OUT
 FULL GROWN ROAST

New York October 16-John w. Kern, addressing a large audience in the new Academy of Music in Brooklyn tonight. said that the republican party, if not de- feated in the coming election, would within eight years occupy an impregnable position in the affairs of the country. He ventured further prophecy that as an in evitable result of republican rule prop erty rights will speedily become endan- gered through the growth of socialism.
 q come to you from the west and from the border states he said, full Of hope of success growing out of what I myself have seen. There is a great move ment among the people who are tired of the misrule of the republican party, tired of their encroachment upon the constitu- tion and desirous of a return to the point where the constitution shall be regarded as the supreme rule of the land, and to an economical government administered in the interest of all the people"
 He described the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few, which accumula- ton he charged to the operation of the protective tariff system, and pointed to the remedial measures suggested by the democratic platform"
 He likened the efforts of the republican party to an attempt to empty barrel of water by bailing, while a stream con tinually pours in at the top
 "The democratic idea he said, lis to shut off the stream"
 This, he declared the party had sought to do through reduction of the tariff upon the necessities of life, which for years had 'caused stream of money to flow from the 100000 900 homes in America into the coffers of the trusts"
 But for 30 years the republican party has blinded the people by waving the bloody shirt" he declared 'They have had their agents going about pointing to the south and saying that those people were only waiting for an opportunity to rise up again and disrupt the union, and all the time they have had their hands in the pockets of the people pIundering them of their wealth"
