dozen lots have been reserved and a
great many inquiries have been re-
ceived for appointments Saturday and
Sunday which are the formal opening
days of the sale. More than 1000 per-
sons were at the tract last Sunday.
All indications point to a successful
sale of this tract. owing to the fact
that nearly every one around the bay
has heard of the beauty and attractive
ness of the oak covered knoll whica
has for so many years been known as
the old Indian burial ground.

HAS PREP AIRED AN
NUA[ REPORT
COUNTY AUDITOR GODFREY HAS
FINAL REPORT OF COUNTY
FINANCES FOR THE YEAR END
ING JUNE 80.

County Auditor John Godfrey has
just completed a compilation of the
finances of Chelan county from July
l, 1908, to June 80, 1909. The re-
port is now in the hands Of the
printer and will be issued in the
course of a couple of weeks The re-
port is interesting from the fact that
gradually Chelan is getting in much
better condition financially. While
the bonded Indebtedness remains the
same as last year, $26,513, yet the
county warrant Indebtedness has been
reduced from SIT, to $4,000. The
interest on the same is reduced from
$S,160 to $5,SS6. In the column
showing the resources the cash bal
ance this year was 21,111.35. The
uncollected taxes in 1908 was So
96409. while this year the tax ac-
count is $14.3O4.76. Last year there
was an excess liability over the re-
sources of s26, 6,63S7S. while this year
the resources exceed the liabilities by
,9S190, making an excellent
showing for the county for the past
year

SON HERE
WILL BE PLAYED AT RECREA.
TION PARK TOMORROW AFTER
AND ATHLETIC TEAMS.

The high school football team has
played against hard luck this year,
financially The local attendance has
not been what it should have been
and as a result the management is
now $3.50 behind. 1t is expected that
a big portion of the deficit can be
made up in the game to be played
here tomorrow afternoon between the
local high school team and the old
timers. This game will be called
promptly at O'Clock and a small ad-
mission fee will be charged Both
teams claim to be in prime condition
and from all indications the game is
going to draw the largest crowd of
the season.
The Wenatchee football season
closes at Spokane On Thanksgiving
day The local team is pitted against
the South Central high school. one of
the best in eastern Washington. Nat
urally the local boys are expecting to
bring back the scalps of the Falls

BAD MAN BROKE
FROM JAIL
FRANK LEROY, PRINCIPAL IN
DUEL WITH SHERIFF THORP
OF OKANOGAN. BROKE JAIL IN
CONCONULLY TUESDAY NIGHT.

Sheriff Ferguson this morning re-
ceived word from Conconully that
Frank Leroy, who, on November s,
engaged in a gun battle in Morris
saloon at Conconully with Sheriff
Thorp, had escaped. The sheriff came
out unharmed in the duel but Leroy
received bullet wound through his
right lung and two fingers were shot
off his right hand.
Leroy is considered a bad man
and was supposed to be responsible
for the safe cracking at Brewster in
which Gillespie & Sons were the los
ers. The county bastile at Concon-
luly is poor affair, and in some man
ner Leroy worked his way out and is
now at liberty.
Sheriff Thorp offers 500 reward
for the recapture of the man. Leroy
is aged 43, his height is 5 feet s
inches, has dark hair, medium gray,
bald on top and in front; has shot
scar through middle of right hand;
had a tattoo mark on his right fore
arm. He had three weeks growth of
beard; very sallow completed, and
looks like a consumptive. He was
dressed in his night clothes when he
escaped but had with him short
mackinaw coat.
Leroy appeared in Conconully on
November 6, total stranger. This
followed closely the safe cracking at
Brewster. His actions were of a ma
ture to attract attention and Sheriff
Thorp thought to arrest him on sus-
picion and in doing so it lead to the
shooting and was narrow escape for
Sheriff Thorp.
