New Ice Stops Drift.
In low temperature new ice forms
rapidly. and this offers an obstruction
TO the drift OF the old ice. As the
heavy central ice Is pressed against
the unyielding land pack the small ice
is ground up. and even heavy foes are
crushed. This reduced mass Of small

shores OF the big lead, leaving a broad

The night was beautiful. The sun
sank into purple haze, and soon there
appeared three suns In prismatic col

glowed In magnificent shades of violet

EN-, DIED AT GILCHRIST HOS.
PITAL SATURDAY EVENING.

Chris. Mark, the man brought
here last Thursday from Columbia
Siding with badly frozen feet and
hands, died at the Gilchrist hospital
Saturday evening.
One leg was amputated Friday
morning and it was intended to take
the other leg and one of the arms off
Saturday, but the man was in a
pitiable condition as a result of the
exposure to which he had been sub
jected and the operation planned for
Saturday morning was delayed with
the hopes that the man would be in
better shape Sunday but he passed
away Saturday evening. The remains
were taken to the Sprague undertake
ing parlors and the interment will be
this afternoon at 4:S0. The hospital
expenses and the burial will be stood
by Douglas county.
Mark was the victim of too much
Columbia Siding alcohol He was a
late employe of the construction
work on the Moses Coulee branch
line and drifted into Columbia Sid
ing, where he filled up on liquor and
froze his feet and arms during the
late cold spell Instead of receiving
treatment at once the man crawled
into an abandoned cabin AMI laid
there for several days before he was
discovered AS far as f1nown he had
no relatives in this country.

CAPTURED WATER
WILLIE PRISONERS
PUGH AND SORRELL TAKEN IN
YESTERDAY AT EPHRATA BY
SHERIFF FERGUSON - WE'RE
FREE TWO WEEKS.

Sheriff Ferguson went to Ephrata
yesterday and picked up the two pri-
soners who recently escaped from
Waterville, Pugh and Sorrell The
notice of the escape of the two men
from Waterville was advertised in all
Of the central Washington papers,
and it was thought that the men
would be recaptured in a few days.
The escape was made January 8 and
they were out of custody just two
weeks
The Waterville officers were ad-
vised by phone by Frank Brockman,
who is running pool room in
Ephrata, that he thought that the
two men were in that city, and Sher-
iff Logan phoned down to Sheriff
Ferguson and asked him to go down
and take the men in He left here
at II o'clock on the delayed train
and easily found the men he was
after. Pugh was swapping around
the saloons and had done some work
for the deputy sheriff at that place.
Sorrell was cooking in one Of the
lunch counters. After being taken
into custody both men owned up that
they were the ones wanted. They
were brought to this city yesterday
afternoon and Deputy Sheriff Lytle
came down last night from Water
vile and went up on this mornings
stage with the prisoners.
The men escaped from the Water
vile Jail during the bitter cold wea-
Their. The night after they left the
thermometer went down to Is below.
They slept that night in the open.
Pugh said to Sheriff Ferguson that
the magpies keep chirping all night
and at each call they imagined that
it was Sheriff Logan after them. They
followed the ridge above the railroad
grade down to the Columbia river
and then caught freight into Ephra-
ia, where they have been for the past
ten days. When asked by Sheriff
Ferguson why they did not keep go
ing, Pugh answered that they wanted
to make a few dimes before leaving
this section. They intended leaving
Ephrata last night for Spokane.

NEW FIRE SLED.

The new fire sled was tried out
yesterday At the last council meet
ing Fire Chief Throw was given the
permission to rig up fire sled. He
bought two bob sleds, had them fixed
up, brought down the big chemical
from Knob Hill and put the tank in
the double bob. 1t is much lighter
for the horses, so in case of fire in
this kind of weather and frozen
pipes, better time can be made. There
are 500 feet of new hose in the box
and 100 gallons of chemical in the
tank, so in case of a bad fire and the
water frozen up, our firemen can
make a good, effective fight. Mr.
Throw has given up his position in
the Halbert & Weber hardware
store, and sits up all night now at
the fire station.

Weather CONDITIONS CAUSE
A GREAT DEAL Of TROUBLE
A Couple Feet Of Slush and Ice on the
Track Near the Sumtait- Roads Open
to East---Big Ice Jam Has Sent River
up and Docks May Go---Hundreds of
City Water Pipes Froze Up.

With the weather continuing soft the
debris on the tracks will run off in
time. The road from the east is open
now and there is nothing serious to
contend with. The weather still con-
tinues very cold and this causes the
trains to lose time, but outside of the
col dweather there is nothing seri-
Gus to contend with.
1t looked this morning as if the
c. & o. dock would go out. The
river has damned very badly be-
tween here and Rock Island and has
forced the river up. 1t is now about
II feet higher than it was last week
and is coming up very fast. A break
up the river this morning precipi-
tated a great mass of snow and ice
down against the docks, and with the
rising water it looks as though the
dock might be forced out any time.
The only thing that might save it
would be the breaking Of the jam
below and the loosening of the pent
up water.
The sleighing is not as good as
many of the wood haulers would like
to have it. The snow has been very
dry and has not packed very well,
making it impossible to haul as large
loads as desired.

..Yamashita, better known in the
United States as "Byran's JAP" is
now in his own country, where he is
private secretary to a member of the
japanese legislative body. The story
Bryan household, told by Mr.. Bryan

from Salt Lake City telling them that
Yamashita was on the road. Another
letter was received shortly after from

The present winter weather is
causing a great deal of trouble all
over the country. 1t is said that
there are 10000 bursted water pipes
in Seattle, and considering the size
of the city, Wenatchee is faring about
as badly. A large percentage of the
homes of Wenatchee having plumb
ing are without water and the plumb
ers are working night and day to re-
lieve the situation.
The Great Northern is having
trouble in the Cascades. Great snow
slides have filled the track near the
summit and in some places for a
mile at a stretch the track is filled
with snow and slush ice. No. 4 due
here last evening at 4:10, did not
get here until 5 o'clock this morn
ing. The early morning train did not
get here until 9 o'clock and the
afternoon train from the west will
be late getting in. A chinook has
been raging on the Sound for several
days, and its effects are being felt
here today. The snow is softening
up and the water is beginning to run.
The railroad company is fearing a
freeze. With all the snow and slush
that is coming down on the track a
freeze would tie up the road for days.

BOUND OVER TO
SUPERIOR COURT
y. l.. WELSH, THE EASY MONEY
TOANER, WILL BE ARRAIGNED
ON CHARGE OF OBTAINING
MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
LENSES.

J. L. Welsh, the man who, for sew
aeral days, did a thriving business
here as a representative of the Stand
ard Real Estate Loan Company, was
bound over, Saturday night, by Judge
Palmer, to appear in the superior
court on the charge Of obtaining
money under false pretenses. Judge
Palmer fixed the mans bonds at $500
and as he seems unable to raise this
amount he will be a boarder at the
Hotel i'Ferguson until the jury term
which will be held some time this
spring.
Welsh was bound over on the teS-
timony of Orville Wheeler. a recent
arrival here. He testified to having
,aid Welsh $42 on the promise of an
immediate loan of $1,000. Boyd
Yates, the state agent of the COM
many, took the stand and told the
court that under no circumstances
was it possible for the company to
loan over $4,000 to any one applicant
and that it was not possible to get
through the formalities of making the
loan in less than five to six months.
wheeler made a good witness for the
state. Judge Palmer made a careful
review of the evidence introduced and
stated that he would bind Welsh over
to the superior court in the sum of
$500. on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
Mr.. Yates expressed himself as
very much disappointed in the way
his agent had misrepresented the
company here and stated that he was
glad that he was to be punished for
his misdeeds. He also stated that
the company would honor all con-
tracts made here by Mr.. Welsh and
that no one would be the loser as a
result of money paid to the agent.
