SCHOLL NAGGEO
To MURDER

Ed Scholl, who killed Falkstraw,
has suffered considerably in re-
ports of his crime, although there
is little excuse he can plead for
the deed. But 1t is beginning to be
known that the old man had been
nagged out of his senses almost,
and there is some reason to believe
that he actually feared for his life
when he and Falkstraw last met.
Falkstraw had threatened to kill
him, he says. in their numerous
quarrels and had repeated the
threat on the day of the killing.
There is considerable doubt as
to whether the charge of first de-
gree murder will be sustained be-
fore a jury.

TEHERAN, Persia, July a.
Cannonading today resulted in the
heaviest losses in both the royal
list and nationalist armies since the
rebels stormed the city early yes
terday.
Hundreds of soldiers are killed
and the fighting is still on.
The rebels have stormed the bar
ricades, which were the last hope
of the royalists.
The rebels are determined to
overthrow the shah and reestablish
a constitution. The trouble is the
result of the withdrawal of the con-
stitution granted by the ruler when
he assembled the throne.

FREE TUNNEL INTO

(By United Press.)

SEATTLE, July 14.-Beating the
exposition out of several hundred
admissions daily, employees on the
north trunk sewer, which was CON-
pleted through the grounds, with
friends and relatives. have been en-
tering through the capacrous tun-
mel of the new sewer. The secret
passageway was discovered yester-
day.
For some time men and women
have been seen coming from the
northeast section of the grounds
brushing dirt from their clothes.
The other entrance to the tun-
mel outside the grounds. on the uni
versity campus, is said to have
been freely used by several mem
bers of fraternity houses.

Superintendent Witten, to a
meeting of the notaries last night,
explained that 1t is not necessary
to have seen the land to make Sc
lections, as the government has
provided the land offices with maps
made by three sworn inspectors.
He said that selection could be
made from the map as safely as
from the land. Holders OF Numbers
will be called in the lana office in
sets OF three at a time and permit
ted to make their selections accord
ing to their numbers. The holders
will be notified Of their numbers as
drawn.
Foreign born residents who have
made declaration of citizenship can
register for the drawing. Women
are not excluded so they are q
years of age or will be at the time
of entry.
The time of making entry begins
April 1, 1910, and continues until
the lands are exhausted. In the
case of the Spokane reservation,
but few days will be required to
do the work, as the number OF
claims is limited. A minor of either
sex who will be II by April Is
entitled to apply to register safely.

however, gives no advantage. as
the envelopes will be thrown to-

order of registering.
As there are less than 200 claims
on the Spokane reservation, but a
small percentage of thos3 register
ing can hope to win a farm, but all
will have an equal chance for what
land there Is. No one who has used
his homestead right can register
but those having used but, a frac'

Why He Doesn't Drink Milk.

My son. who is a little over two
years OF age. has always disliked to
drink milk, says a writer in the New
York World. l have repeatedly told
him that to be strong and healthy
boy, he should always drink milk.
While visiting neighbor with me one
day he saw little boy who was a
cripple and could not walk. Nam
ma" said he, why can't the little
baby walk?" l told him the reason
was because the baby did not drink
milk. Then | said to my little son:
Why don't you drink milk" This
was his reply: Because l can walk"
Since then I have had more trouble
in persuading him to drink milk than
ever before.
