Losses amounting to hundreds Of
millions OF dollars annually are paid

suggests that some scheme OF insuring
bank depositors against loss could be
devised which would afford them per-

MANY NEWSPAPER MEN
SUPPORTERS OF COSGROVE
Eastside Candidate for Governor Has
Support of Editors.
Meeting of Editors of Newspapers of the Inland Empire
VIII be Held in Pullman Saturday to Formulate
Plans for Cosgrove Campaign

The candidacy of Hon. S. G. Cos
grove of Garfield county for the office
of the chief executive of the state of
Washington is meeting with almost
universal favor among the country
newspaper editors of the state, and
as the country newspaper can be taken
as fair index of sentiment in the
various localities, the friends of Mr..
Cosgrove are naturally jubilant over
the outlook. The Cosgrove sentiment
was especially strong at the meeting
of the state press association held at
Vancouver last week, 35 of the 45 re-
publican editors present being Cos
grove supporters. A west side paper
sums up the feeling at Vancouver in
the following words:
There is no doubt but that when
returns are all in on the press bunch
for the whole state it will show that
the Pomeroy man is the popular fav-
Orite with the backing of from rs to a
hundred editors of country papers back
of him. The point that seemed to be
most strongly fixed with the pencil
pushers with whom we talked twas that
it would be a political mistake to
nominate either Mcbride or Mead for
governor, owing<to the bitterness of
the factional fight in the party be-
tween the men who are leading the
campaigns of those men. The nomin-
alton of Mr.. Cosgrove would eliminate
this factional fight. 1t would also
mean general cleaning out of the
political machines that for years have
controlled Washington politics. Fur
thermore, the country editors seemed
impressed with the feeling that they
e an opportunity to show the poll
ticians that they are a factor to be
reckoned with, and that they can make
sure the success of a candidate from

drew gun and pointing it at Siebert,
who was riding with Corbaly, said
" We will settle the trouble which we
had in Republic on the Fourth of Ju-
ly. At this Siebert assured Phillips
that he had no hard feelings toward
him and had nothing to settlA Sic
bert jumped out of the wagon On the
opposite side and reached for anfse-
cured his gun. Phillips rode around
to the oppsite side of the wagon anf
when only few feet distant from
Siebert fired, the bullet entering his
body below the navel and ranging
downward. Phillips then returned to
the Peterson wagon and told him that
he had better go to where the shooting
had taken place and help care for
the wounded man. He then rode away
in the direction of the British line.
The wounded man was taken to his
home. where he expired before DR..
Manley, who had been called, reached
him.
The sheriff and posse reached the
scene of the shooting a few hours af-
ter its occurrence and took up the
trail of the murderer and were still
following it Saturday night.
1t is believed that he can not es-
cape, as he is we'll known has but one
arm. He is a bad Indian and is like
ly to kill some one Of the party which
is in pursuit if he gets half chance.
Of this fact Sheriff Hall is aware and
it is hardly probable that he will give
the murderer a chance to add Ito his
crimes. He has long been associated
with Indians and white horse thieves
and these will no doubt aid him in his
efforts to elude the officers and escape
justice.

consideration, one the vacant lot near
the railroad crossing on East Main
street, and the other the old mill site.
Mr.. Robinson was greatly surprised
at the great amount of building now
in progress and under contemplation
in Pullman, and estimated that not
less than $40, 900 Of Pullman money
was being sent out of town for mill
work on residences this summer, and
1t is to do this work that he proposes
to move his plant here. The plant is
a most complete and modern one, and
the freight upon it from Bentonville
to Pullman will amount to about $4,000.

tional currency associations. Not
more than one association is allowed in
each city, and where the city is not
large enough to furnish all of the
banks, as is the condition in Spokane,
banks in the territory adjacent may be
taken into the association.
1t is provided by the law that for
the purpose of obtaining additional
circulation any national currency asso-
citation or any bank belonging to the
National Currency association having
circulating notes outstanding secured
by the deposit of bonds of the United
States to an amount not less than 20
per cent, may deposit with and trans
fer to the association, in trust for the
United States, such of these securities
as may be satisfactory to the board OF
the association. The officers may
thereupon make application to the
comptroller of the currency for an
issue of additional circulating notes
to an amount not exceeding rs pei
cent. of the cash value of the securi-
ties or commercial paper so deposited.
The comptroller notified the secre-
try of the treasury and if in his judg-
ment business conditions in the local
ity demand additional circulation, he
NAV direct an issue of circulating
notes to the association to an amount
in his discretion, not, however, ex'
ceedng rs per cent. of the cash value
of the securities deposited.

R. D. SIEBERT KILLED
At REPUBLIC SATURDAY
Murdered by Chas. Phillips, a Half
Breed Indian.
The Murdered Man Was Brother of Mrs A. J. Inman of
This City, and Former Resident
of Pullman

RID. Siebert, former resident of
this city and a brother of Mrs. A. j.
Inman, was killed at Republic last
Saturday by half-bre Indian
named Chas Phillips. A correspondent
of the Chronicle gives the following
story of the affair:
Saturday last witnessed the sequel
to dispute and slap administered on
the Fourth Of July in Republic. On
that day two men, r. D. Siebert, who
ives at the junction of the main San
Poll and the west fork of the stream,
and Charles Phillips, a halfbreed In
dian, got into a dispute and when the
quarrel eliminated in a blow, struck
by Siebert, the halfbreed Phillips said
that he would kill the man who slapp-
ed him, and Saturday last he made
good his threat.
During the forenoon of that day a
telephone message was received from
West Fork by the sheriff stating the
simple fact that the shooting had TAX
en- place near that point. Sheriff WI.

peck, formerly deputy United States
marshal, and Or. Manley started fo,
the scene of the tragedy. A littl,
later message came that Siebert wa!
dead.
From the testimony taken in the in
quest the following facts are taken:
1t seems that Jack CorbaIy and his
wife, an Indian woman. who reside in
the Aeneas Valley, and Dry Greek Jack
Jack Petrson) were returning to their
homes from West Fork when they
meet Phillips near Lime Creek. Pet
erson, who was driving the lead wag-
on stopped moment and talked with
Phillips, fearing that he and Siebert
might renew the quarrel, tried to per
suade him to return, but to this he
would not assent, but continued down

with few exceptions, not readily, but
through repeated sicknesses, pains,

that way, until the body and mind ad-

formed the habit of going each night
after supper to a neighbor's porch and

leaving the house empty, he still
went to the porch. After the house
burned he would 60 and sit on the
