Insulted a Little White Girl
Near Caledonia,
Monday.
PENALTY WAS SWIFT.
Before The Day Was Over
He Was Hanged BY
a Mob.

A negro named Wallace Miller was
hanged by mob near Mt. Tabor
church, on the road from Cadiz to
Caledonia, Monday evening about
nightfall.
An indecent proposal made to the
little nine-year-old daughter of
Thomas Wadlington, near Caledonia,
was the crime that brought speedy
death to him.
Miller was a mulatto about 20
years of age and lived near Cadiz.
About 1870 A. M. Monday the little
girl was sent to the mail box at the
road, 400 yards from the house, to
get the mail. Miller was at the
gate and accosted her and asked her
if her father was at home. The little
girl told him he was not. Then he
asked if her brothers were and she
told him they were in the field at
work. Then came the proposition
that terrified the little girl and as
she started away in fear the brute
called to her that he would give her
some money if she would say nothing
about what he had said. She con-
tinued to move away and replied
that she would tell it when she got
to the house. At this point Miller
started toward her and she ran in
side the gate, slammed it shut and
ran as fast as she could to the house,
where she told what had happened.
Wayne and Monte Warrington the
chlld's brothers, were soon on the
trail and came up with Miller a mile
and half down the road. He de-
MED his identity, but from the de-
scription they knew they had the
right man and he was taken back to
the Wellington house where the lit
tie girl identified him and he finally
confessed, saying he didn't know
why he did what he did, that it was
just 1.-THE negro in him"

DUKE AND THE PIE


Aunt Hattie expected her
nephews Bobby and George to
come out to the country for the
day, so she baked a big pumpkin
pie and crOckful of cookies for
them.
The boys arrived early in the
morning, bringing their dog, Duke,
with them. Duke was a brindled
bulldog who loved to chase cats,
and Aunt Hattie had a big Maltese
cat, called Tabby.
Duke looked around and no cats
were to be seen, SO he trotted off
to- the pond with boys, who were
going fishing. He chased frogs
awhile, and then slept till the boys
went to dinner
What splendid dinner 1t was,
with it's fried chicken and biscuits
and jam. When they had eaten
their fill of this. Aunt Hattie went
out to the porch where the pie was
cooling to get it for the boys. Duke
went along and saw Tabby on the
steps. She started to run toward
Aunt Hattie for protection, and
Duke went after her. Round they
went, upsetting chairs and knock
ing things down, while Duke bark
ed furiously.
Aunt Hattie forgot the pie and
thought only of saving Tabby from
Duke. When Tabby jumped on the
table and then upon the high shelf,
up jumped Duke on the table, land
ing right on the pumpkin pie.
There he stood, prancing up and
down and barking furiously at poor
Tabby.
The boys had to come out and
get him, and didn't they scold Duke
for chasing Tabby and spelling the
nice pie.

The area selected for the expert
ments comprises several thousand
acres on the Soleduck river, and was
at one time covered with a magni-
ficent forest of Douglas fir 1t was
first burned over in 1890 and again
in 1895. 4 third fire over almost
the same area occurred in 1906, de
stroying the last remnant of the
original forest. leaving the entire
area treeless.
In some regions a second growth
of trees will come in naturally after
burn, in the course of a few years
time. and where this happens arti-
fetal means of securing reproduction
is not necessary. There are, however.
other burns, where new growth does
not come in readily, due to adverse
climatic conditions, absence of seed
trees. or perhaps 10 the impoverish-
ment of the soil by repeated fires.
Those areas are often of very large
extent and in such cases some means,
such as planting trees or sowing
seed, is necessary to restore the for
est. The burn in the Olympic forest
is of this nature and the forest serv-
ice is planning to conduct series OF
experiments to determine the proper
methods of reforesting the area
Douglas fir will be the species used.
1t is believed that on the greater
part of the area simply scattering the
seed over the ground in the fall be-
fore the snow falls or in the early
spring will be sufficient to start a
new growth. On other portions of the
area, however, where growth of
grass and weeds has covered the
ground, it will probably be necessary
IN hA CT. IN l.
ing or dragging brush over the
ground. In some localities sowing
by what is called the seed pot method
in which several seeds are dropped
together in spots and covered with
soil will probably be successful. To
test these various methods five ex-
perimental plots have been selected.
These represent the various condi-
tions found on the burn. such as diff
| ference in slope, altitude, exposure,
and vegetation
This fall large quantity of Doug
las fir seed will be collected and
quantity sown on each plot. Next
spring the experiments will be re-
peated and it is expected that the
results obtained will indicate what
methods and what seasons of the
year are best adapted to the condi-
tions found on this burn When this
/ is accomplished the forest service
will be in position to commence the
reforestation of the Soleduck burn
on large scale and to reseed large
areas each year.
1t is believed also that the results
obtained will be of value not only in
solving the problem of restocking the
burn in the Olympic national forest,
but that much will be learned CON
cernins the best methods of refor-
esting denuded areas on other for
ests throughout the Pacific North
west, where conditions are similar
and that thus the work may be large
ly extended.

That all the springs for miles around
