8HE[AN REAL
ESTATE CHANGE
IRRIGABLE AND LAKESHORE
PROPERTIES IN DEMAND BY
NVESTORS-TWO DEALS THIS
WEEK.

An important real estate transfer
was made the latter part of last
week when Messrs. c. ]. Trow and
l.. V. Harper and Miss Della Delvin
closed a deal with L. ]. Hadley, OF
which the latter owned on First cree
Vale, Oregon, for the 30-acre tract
which the latter owned on First
creek. says the Chelan Leader. The
consideration for the whole piece was
s3,75O, and the purchasers have di-
vided it between themselves, Mr..
Trow taking one-half and Mr.. Harper
and Miss Delvin taking the other
half together.
This tract is a portion Of the John
w. Johnson homestead. 1t lies back
about half mile from the lake shore
and is we'll situated for irrigating.
Every foot is irrigable and big
ditch from First creek supplies an
abundance of water for the whole
tract. There are 500 thrifty fruit
tukes on the place, nearly all choice
winter apples, and eight acres of al
falfa.
Divided as it is now it will make
two very desirable home places, and
at the price paid the new owners un-
doubtedly made an exceptionally
good buy.
Messrs. J. III. Brand and Frank
Cowan, the Seattle gentlemen who
were mentioned last week as pros
uective settlers on Lake Chelan,
closed a deal the latter part of the
week for the Christie tract of Is
acres on the lake shore just west OF
Lakeside. The consideration was
$500. They have returned to Sc
attic but Mr. Brand will be back
soon to take charge of the place. Mr..
Cowan expects to bring his family
here later to reside.

Major Anderson, right of way
agent of the Great Northern railway,
was in the city yesterday and while
here purchased the land on which
the Gilbert Mari lumber yard is To-
Gated For a consideration of $4,000
Mr.. MARI transfers to the railroad
company the five lots occupied by his
lumber business and took in place
of them eight lots on the south end
of block 8, the same block in which
the Beal Milling company is located.
The change will be made just as soon
as a side track can be built to the
new yard site.
While Mr. Anderson did not d.
vulge the purpose of his company in
securing this tract of ground, yet it
is thought that this is required as a
yard site. Additional tracks, turn
table and shops will be located there,
so it is thought Inasmuch as it has
been announced that Wenatchee is
to be the division point Of the new
line up Moses Coulee, the shops, turn
table and additional sidetracks are
requisites.
Mr. Anderson also made the pre-

j, 5. AND MEXICO
MAY INTERVENE
(By Associated Press.

Washington, March 13.-Possibly
the joint Intervention of the U. S.
and Mexico in the interest of peace
in Central America is believed now
to be under serious consideration
The question ait issue is exactly the
extent of the obligation imposed upon
the two larger republics under the
terms of that Central American peace
compact at which the five republics
agreed to submit any quarrel be-
tween themselves to arbitration. 1t
would be under this stipulation that
the Intervention would be based.

FITTING CLIMAX
To A WILD CAREER
(By Associated Press

Paris, March 13.-Fernand Raven
ez, a wealthy young Partisan whose
career 70 rfour years was almost a

number of friends at Monte Carlo
last night. The pace was fast and
furious. but Ravenez cried, This is

lots in the alley between Wenatchee
avenue and Columbia street. Evil
IDENTIFY it is the purpose of the rail-
road company to build the sidetracks
not only on Columbia street, accord
ing to the late franchise issued, but
also in the alley south Of Kittitas
street.
So far there has been nothing said
or done that would give any inkling
as to the location of the new depot.
A number of the business men of the
city have a bunch that it is going
to be located in the north end of the
city, up, possibly, as far as Fifth
street north This would take it
above the sidetracks.
BY the purchase of the MARI prop
erty the railroad company has con-
troll of all the property required for
sidetracks on Columbia street. 1t
has held an option for a long time on
the unsold property of the Wenatchee
Development company, and it will
have to purchase nothing else in or
der to lay sidetracks, build shops or
yards in the south end.

FEW GAME LAWS
WERE PASSED
LAST LEGISLATURE DID But
LITTLE TO REMEDY DEFECT
I'VE LAWS NOW ON THE STAT
UTES.

One of the local sportsmen, who
did not care to get his name in the
paper, was seen this morning regard
ing the sins of omission and commits
sion of the erratic legislature at
Olympia.
what did they do for us?" he
unused. "Well, they balled up our
good bills with a lot of hootchy-
kootchy amendments until we had
to kill them in committee in order
to save a hoof or a feather in the
state. They also introduced enough
new and useless laws to paper the
Palisades of the Columbia. but" with
a shudder, mot many of 'em got
through, and there will be a little
game left" Then he relapsei into
impenetrable gloom of such density
the reporter couldn't see the fame
of the match as he lit a cigar.
One Good Bill Passed.
About the only beneficial change
is the setting apart Of Lake Wash
ington and the territory surrounding
for a distance of one mile as a bird
shelter. No gun of any description
will be allowed in this area, and, as
the game seems instinctively to know
in a very short time the limits of its
protection, it's probable this lake and
vicinity will soon be famous breed
ing place for the feathered ones.
East of the Cascade mountains
the brook trout season is curtailed
one month, the season opening May
1. West of the cascades, April 1 re-
mains the date. There is no other
important fishing legislation, and, ex-
cept for the closing of Skagit county
on quail and doves, there is no new
enactment affecting feathered game
west of the mountains.
BOunties Are Increased.
The bounties on cougars and tim
Der wolves has been greatly increased
and it is hoped these depredators
will fall prey to the war that will
certainly be waged upon them by
trappers and hunters. The cougar
bounty is raised from S. to $40, and
that on wolves from $3.50 to SIS.
Much disappointment is shown by
conservative sportsmen over the de-
feat of Senate Bill 335, which was
Iintelligently framed for existing
needs. 1t provided for shortening
of open seasons, the same opening
day for all upland birds, reduced
bag limit, a daily and weekly bag
limit, prohibited the killing of deer
in the water, and stipulated a '$25
hunters license for alien and non
resident hunters The bill passed, it
| is true, but was so obnoxious to its
projectors in it's amended form that
they lobbied for it's burial in COM
mittee.

WRITTEN BY LINCOLN IN 1871
Letter Reveals Sense of Humor of Which This
Great Man Was Possessed" Tragedy"
That eliminated in Joke on
Springfield Citizens

Among legal records in the posses
sion of Mr.. John F. Geeting, promi-
nent Chicago attorney and editor of
American Criminal Reports, is the fol
lowing letter written by Abraham Lin
coin in 1S41. 1t appeared originally in
the Quincy Wing of April 9, 1916, and
in that article, probably written by
Lincoln himself (for it is known that
he took much interest in the features
of the case) the following lines ap-
pear: "On the next Monday Myers ar
rived at Springfield, bringing with
him the now famed Fisher, in full life
and proper person" Evidently the
letter of Lincoln was written before
Fisher had been found
Springfield, June 10, 1S41.-Dear
Speed: We have had the highest state
of excitement here for a week past
that our community has ever wit
messed; and although the public feel
ing is somewhat allayed, the curious
affair which aroused it is very far
from being over, yet cleared of mys-
terry. 1t would take a quire of paper
to give you anything like a full ac-
count of it, and 1, therefore, only pro-
pose a brief outline
The chief personages in the drama
are Archibald Fisher, supposed to be
murdered, and Archibald Traitor, Hen
ry Traitor and William Traitor, sup
posed to have murdered him. The
three Traitors are brothers The first,
Archibald, as you know, lives in town;
the second, Henry, in Clary's Grove;
and the third, William, in Warren
county; and Fisher, the supposed
murdered. being without a family, had
made his home with William On Sat
urday evening. being the 29th of May,
Fisher and William came to Henry's
in a one-horse dearborn, and there
stayed over Sunday; and Monday all
three came to Springfield (Henry on
horseback), and Joined Archibald at
Myers, the Dutch carpenter. That
evening at supper Fisher was missing,
and so next morning some ineffectual
search was made for him; and on
Tuesday, at / o'clock D. m. William
and Henry started home without him
In a day or two Henry and one or
two of his Clary Grove neighbors
came back for him again, and adver-
tised his disappearance in the papers.
The knowledge of the matter thus
far had not been general. and here it
dropped entirely till about the 10th
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1909-02-13

emily very unwell; that he asked him
how he had come from Springfield;
that Fisher said he had. come by Peo-
ria, which showed that he at the time
of speaking did not know where he
had been wandering about in a state
of arrangement. He further stated
that in about two hours he received a
note from one of Traitors friends adj
vising him of his arrest and request
ing him to go on to Springfield as a
witness to testify as to the state of
Fishers health in former times; that
he Immediately set off, calling up two
of his neighbors as company, and
riding all evening and all night, over
took Maxcy and William at Lewiston
in Fulton county. That Maxcy refus-
ing to discharge Traitor upon his state
ment, his two neighbors returned, and
he came on to Springfield. Some ques-
ton being made as to whether the
doctors story was not a fabrication,
several acquaintance of his (among
whom was the same postmaster who
wrote to Keys as before mentioned)
were introduced as sort of compurga-
tors, who swore that they knew the
doctor to be good character for
truth and veracity, and generally of
good character in every way.
Here the testimony ended, and the
Traitors were discharged, Archibald
and William expressing, both in word
and manner, their entire confidence
that Fisher would be found at the doc
tors by Galloway, Mallory and Myers,
who day before had been dispatched
for that purpose; while Henry still
protested that no power on earth could
-
this curious affair.
When the doctors story was first
made public, it was amusing to scan
and contemplate the countenances
and hear the remarks of those who
had been actively engaged in the
search for the dead body; some looked
quizzicaI, some melancholy, and some
furiously angry. Porter, who had
been very active. swore he always
knew the man was not dead, and that
he had not stirred an inch to hunt for
him. Langford, who had taken the
lead in cutting down Hickox's mill
dam, and wanted to hang Hickox for
Directing, looked most awfully woebe-
gone; he seemed the victim of un-
requited affection" as represented in
the comic almanacs we used to laugh
over And Hart, the little drayman
that hauled Molly home once, said it
was too damned bad to have so much
trouble and no hanging after all.
1 commenced this letter yesterday,
since which / received yours of the
18th / stick to my promise to come
to Louisville. Nothing new here, ex-
cept what / have written. / have not
