THE GOVERNORS DECISION.

The action Of Gov. Deneen in the
case of Ex-SheFiff Davis was the sub
ject Of much unfaporalle comment in
this city yesterday, and doubtless in
all the communities where The Bulle-
tin went. 1t met with popular dis.
favor principally because the general
feeling is that Mr. Davis did do or
try to do, all that in his Judgment
could BE done to save the prisoners
who were lynched.
1t is easy now to point out what
might have been done; it is easier
still for others to say that they
would have taken advantage of this
or that circumstance to save their
prisoners. We are not all alike: we
are impressed differently by appear
ances and even by known facts: the
best that can be expected of Us Is
that we shall act according to our
best Judgment, and the worst that
can be said against Mr. Davis, from
the governors point Of view is that
he did OF anticipate the events of the
night Of Nov. II in all their horror.
in time to avert them
While in the case of Miss Pelly
there was strong popular feeling and
talk about lynching the wretch guilty
of the crime. this had been true in a
number of cases before. and nothing
had come Of it. VIM James was still
in the hands of the police on Nov. H.
and they gave out the impression
that they were not satisfied that he
was the right man, although ad
hitting that some circumstances We're
strongly against him. And it was not
till the afternoon before the night Of
the lynching, when the streets Of the
city began to swarm with strangers
who came in on every train, that the
authorities had any real reason to
fear violence Then the sheriff took
charge Of the prisoner and planned

blocks above the station to take the

the sheriff made mistake in leaving
the train at Dongola, when he heard
that large party Of men were
awaiting him at Anna. Whether he
did or net can not be now told; but
ii Is hardly likely that he did, for
those men at Anna were as strongly
aroused as were the men in Cairo
when they learned that the negro had
been spirited away-and at Centralia
it was the same. The horrible death
of Miss relly was not local affair,

Company Believes That Lower End of

city engineer, a force of workmen are
today employed in changing the pres
ent curve of the Walla Walla Valley
Traction company at the corner of
Sixth and Main streets, and substitute
ing in it's place a 125 foot radial curve
This is being done in order to run
freight cars on this line, for with the
present high degree curve, long cars
with stationary trucks are unable to
round it.
The primal object is to connect with
the Cation and Buffum warehouses on
lower Main street and when the work
is completed this company will have
ideal facilities for the maintenance of
wholesale distribution With the O.
r. & n. system connecting in the rear
of the buildings and both Northern
Pacific and electric cars in operation
nothing will be lacking in the way of
transportation and that portion of
Main street will henceforth be pro-
vided with every detail in all matters
pertaining to shipping.
There is no Interior motive in this

company, this morning, land contrary
to the report published in an evening
paper several days ago, that we were
going to run locomotives over the line
nothing of the sort is intended That
article was the biggest piece of "hot-
air" and tommyrot l ever saw and
there was not a word of truth in the
whole thing. We merely wish to be
able to run freight cars SO as to con-
meet with lower Main street and with
the present curve we are unable to
do so. That end of town is ideal for
manufacturers and wholesale dealers
and as we realize this fact we want
to connect with it,
AS the location is a splendid one
we hope to make connections in time
with Hunts, Hollis and Tausick's, but
at the present, our only transfer will
be with Cation and Buffum.''

EDDIE SIEVER TO PLAY HERE
CONTINUED From Page One.)

His arm finally went back on him and
he quiz the game only to be picked III
by st. Louis later in 1904 The next
season he went to Minneapolis. where
he recovered his arm, and with it all
his old effectiveness returned. The
close of the season saw him one of the
leading pitchers in he American asso-
citation. Detroit immediat ely pure hased
his release and in 1907 he was a potent
factor in landing the American League
pennant.
The exact details by which India
napolis secured him are not known
here, but this much is certain: He
had contract for two years. but
there was clause as to salary for
1909. Owing to some new regulation of
the league, Indianapolis could not
meet this requirement. and Siever be-
came free agent. Aberdeen was the
lucky club to secure him.
