tinuation of the work of laying new
rails on the strip between Ellensburg
and Spokane. 1t is the Intention of
the company to have IS pound rails
throughout this entire district. Some
have already been laid and an addi-
tional 80 miles will be laid this sum-
mer. In addition to this it is pro-
posed to ballast the track thoroughly

struction of the station at a very early
date, though there are numerous de-
tails to be worked out, all of which
must be settled before the move at
construction is begun, as changes will
not be possible or advisable after
wards. In connection with the rail-
road station construction will be the
building of new track for the Ma
ches Valley railroad and after that

KILLS
AND CAPTURES
BAND OF OUTLAW INDIANS
generating Into Individual Flight
For Safety.

OKLAHOMA CITY, March pa
detachment of Crazy Snakes band of
belliegrent Indians was surrounded by
deputies this afternoon near Crazy
Snakes home and a battle ensued
One Indian was killed and eight cap
tured. The rest fled with deputies in
pursuit.
There were about Is Indians in the
band, which had taken refuge in
house. Deputies had tracked them for
some distance and were informed by a
farmer of their location. Advancing
on four sides, the posse fired the house.
The Indians rushed out and scattered
among trees and made a valiant de-
Tense. The posse all the while advance
ed and soon routed the band. nine
were captured, one is seriously injured.
Beside these it is known that num-
Der of Indians were hit by bullets.
Crazy Snakes band apparently is
broken up into numerous small groups.
It seemed at nightfall that each red
skin was trying to accomplish his own
| escape without regard to the COM
| mands of the chieftain. All effort
at organized resistance seemed to
have been dropped with the setting
of the sun. Militiamen scattered in
bands and invaded the hilly and wood
ed section of the Creek nation and by
seven o'clock tonight had captured
eight of Crazy Snakes band. It is
reported that posse of farmers near
Checotah fought large band of rem
egrades and killed twenty. This and
similar reports cannot be confirmed.
Scores of cowboys and frontiers
men, who know the country have
joined the militia and they declare if
Crazy Snake is in the country he will
be run down before morning. The mil
itia has been unable to find anyone
who has seen Crazy Snake since Sat
urday morning.
Fearing that the skirmish near Hic-
kory and the burning of Haro's
house may cause the Indians to leave
their hiding places north of the Cam
adian river tonight and set fire to
other houses, $50 heavily armed men
planned to leave Checotah at II
| O'Clock tonight for Pierce.

|vAGRANT LIFE FOR HOME TIES
Charles Modson Known as Hobo Kid
Turns Deaf Ear to Father-Par
ents Advocate Chain Gang.

Because his son Charles. has pre-
ferred the life of a vagrant to the
comfort Of a good home, and the OPP
portunity for an education. z. L. Mod
son of Dubuque, Iowa has asked the
local police to show no leniency to
his son, if he falls within the pale Of
grace and humiliation of the city Jail
and the chain gang may cause him TO
see the error of his ways. and return
to his home. The father has spent
time and money in trying to dissuade
his hayward son from following in
bad ways, and has adopted stringent
measures as a last resort.
The Wine of Vagrancy.
Charles Modson is twenty years old,
and his present whereabouts are indie
finite except that he is working or pre-
tending to work in one of the rail-
road camps in the lower Yakima val
ley. According to the father he has
had the benefit of nigh school ed
ucation and other opportunities, but
deliberately choose rowing life, the
wine of vagrancy and love of wander
ing running strong in his blood. Par.
entail arguments and tears have so
far proved unavailing, and the sons
waywardness is causing grief to ia
ther mother and one sister
Dislikes Home Ties
The father says that his son has
no bad habits that he knows of, but
fears that he may fall into evil ways
by contact with bad companions. His
one failing is the dislike of home ties.
and the father has upon two occasions
sent transportation from this city to
Dubuque which was returned by the
son, with the note that he preferred
to stay away from home. The son is
known in this city, where he spent
the winter, and was known among
his com panions and friends as
Tramp" and the Hobo Kid" He
has never had any trouble with the
police, who know him only for his
general shiftlessness and dislike of
work.
Hopes For Reform
f. l.. Modson the father came to
this city on business and is engaged
in law practice in Dubuque. He learn
ed that his son was employed near
iNiOliel AlOHl IOCdl pdrllcS, anu CdHle 10
this city in the belief that he was here.
Before returning home he will visit
Kiona in the hope that he may induce
his boy to return with him. For the
sake of his mother, | pray that Char
lie, will get the tramp idea out of his
head, but if he must be headstrong,
hope he will have a touch of the hard
side. l will notify the police to help
me in the matter, and I think that u
few days on a chain gang might make
him change his mind and mode of
life.

WHITE BLUFFS ROAD IN
NEED OF REPAIRS
}. NJ. Perry Makes u Fast Trip and
Says That Much Traffic Would
BE Developed.

j. NJ. Perry thinks that a little work
should be done on the road between
North Yakima and White Bluffs. II
there was some way of getting the
commissioners of this and the adjoin-
ing county interested, he says. a very
small expenditure of money would
make the road one to which there
could be no objection and would re-
suit in much direct benefit to this
city. In his automobile. and carry
ng four others beside himself, Mr.
Perry made the trip across to North
Yakima in five hours. He took six
hours in going. Scores of people, he
says. go in and out from White Bluffs
every week. Many of these would
go by way of North Yakima, instead
of going to Kennewivk where there is
the necessity of stopping over night
and thence up the river The five
hours trip from this city is much to
be preferred and Mr.. Perry believes
that there should be a system of au-
tomobile stages inaugurated giving
a service at least twice a week from
this city to the Bluffs. Such a service
he has no doubt would be well pat
roniZed.
Bluffs are Growing Rapidly
White Bluffs is growing rapidly, ac-
cording to Mr. Perry. Selling and de-
veloping land. he says, go on daily,
big plants have been established at
various places along the Columbia
which pull up the water from the
river for irrigation purposes, clear
ing brush is the occupation of scores
of people and places where the brush
has been cleared ana the land put to
alfalfa the crop is at this time six
inches high and growing fast daily
The William Lee. Jr.. asparagus
ranch. Mr.. Perry says, is a beautiful
appearing tract ana in time, when
more growth has been attained by the
plants will be as pretty a sight as is
to be seen in seven counties. In ad-
dition to all these things the Yakima
man days that the weather at the
Bluffs is delightful, that building is
going ahead with great rapidity and
that the country appears to be well
filled with hustling, happy and con-
tented people.

Question of Whether Thirteen Year
Old Girl Can Change Guardians

remain for the present in the custody
of her mother. Mrs. ID. j. Boag of
White Bluffs. This decision was made
in the superior court Monday evening
by Judge Kaufman of Ellensburg
who announced that he was not inter-
ested in statements as to the character
and behavior of the mother when she
was a resident of Mabton several years
ago. The question was whether she

the care and education of her daugh-
ter, entrusted to her, and from the
testimony introduced he was convinced
that she is.
Brisk Fight i'm Court.
Attorney Israel of Olympia and At
torney Snively of North Yakima
fought out the case at some length
Monday afternoon. MIR. Snivcly being
the winner. The case came up through
the efforts of the father, Thomas
Walker, to procure custody OF the
child. Mr.. and Mrs. Walker were di-
vorced four years ago and the child
given to the mother pending further
instructions by the court. the ward of
which she therefore remained. Mrs.
Walker subsequently married Mr..
B6ag and they now live at White
Bluffs. where they are in comfortable
circumstances.
Walker Lives in Montana.
Walker is a resident of Montana
and is also in comfortable circum-
stances. Before his divorce he was
Il poor man. Some time ago Walker
asked the court to take the child
from the custody Of the mother, who
he said was not proper person to
have il in charge, ANA asked that it be
given a home with him. Judge Preble
made an order calling upon Mrs. Boag
to show cause why the child should
not remain, for the present, in her
custody. In the meantime Deputy
Sheriff Kaufman brought the little
girl to North Yakima awaiting the
hearing.

BASEBALL WAR BREAKS OUT
legged to be Caused by Green
Eyed Jealousy

War has broken out among the
baseball forces of North Yakima. and
the war talk has been flying thick
and fast between the rival factions
Meal ticket ball players, agitators. and
green eyed jealousy are the causes "f
the hostility backed by ancient basv-
ball history. The question of super
iority between the rival forces will be
settled at the ball park Sunday after
noon. Somebody got excited and bet
mQrev and the contest will be free
" corners. The trouble started IS
tas a South American revolution
.ne end is not yet. Around the
gar stores and barber shops Satur-
day afternoon the sole topic of con-
versation was the game, and if the
weather man is kind big game will
be out to the ball park tomorrow.
Rival Forces Organize.
After the organizing of the team
that will represent North Yakima was
semi officially announced discomfort
Immediately broke out among ball
players who came to town looking
for a job and something to eat, and
local players whose day of useful
ness has passed on the diamond and
failed to pass muster at thetryouts.
They organized IL team and dubbed
themselves the "Wonder". The team
has as working parts Mig. Anderson,
Carl Shaw. Charles Wilgus Paddy
Gains and "Blub" Irby. They backed
their ability to beat the Tigers, and
the money was covered.
Charge Favoritism
The rebelling forces claim that
Manager Payne showed favoritism i'm
the selecting of the team. but as the
Colonel is backed by the financial and
moral support of nearly every bust
ness man in town the allegations fail
to hold water. Col. Payne baked at
charging admission for the game as
first proposed by the Nv onders" as he
has a league season coming ON. and
doesn't care to rub thdHpublic fur the
+ wrong way at the start Then the ag-
itating forces waved a hundred dollar
bill and friendship ceased.
Gave Meat and Bread.
Some of the ringleadcrs in the new
born ball team came to town longing
for food, and with heavy eye lids
from lack of sleep. Col. Payne gave
them meat and bread and a place to
sleep, and now it is alleged they with
local support start rebellion. That $

Nelson and others have given lots of
time and work to the furthering of
support they are getting.
