the payment of the work need not
be made until after it's completion.
Mr.. McKiver feels this afternoon
like Withdrawing his bid but states
that if any arrangements can be
made whereby he may be able to
secure the money Tor meeting MS

ON DEATH
Of infant
CORONER SAUNDERS CALLED IN
QUEST TO INQUIRE INTO THE
DEATH OF THE CHILD PRE-
MATUREIY BORN SUNDAY.

Coroner Saunders called a jury
this morning at 9 O'Clock at the
Sprague. morgue to inquire into the
death of the child prematurely born
and found Monday evening at the
rear of the Wenatchee mill. The
jury was composed of w. R. Wilson,
John S. Mooney, l.. f. Hoyne, Fred
Warren, c. J. Wurrz and w. G. Sta
.cy. Evidences were taken of the It
allan who first discovered the body
and notified the police and Drs. Gill
hcrist and Kaupp, DR.. Gilchrist tes-
tifying as to the probable age of the
child and DR.. Kaupp, who was in at
tendance on the mother The jury
brought in a verdict as follows:
THAT said unknown child found at
$50 Monday evening, June %, came
to its death by premature birth, the
cause of the birth being unknown
The officials had no difficulty in
finding the girl who gave birth to the
little one. She made confession
last evening to Sheriff Ferguson. The
girl is unmarried and is but 19 years
of age. The police are still working
on the case and it is likely that GRIM
inal charges will be filed against the
man who is supposed to be the parent
of the infant.

HOUSE WAS BURG:
LARRED
RESIDENCE OF E. WAGNER EN-
TERED LAST NIGHT AND JEW
ELRY AND MONEY WERE
TAKEN.

The residence of E. Wagner, on
North Wenatchee avenue was en-
tered during last night and a con-
siderable quantity of jewelry and
money was taken. The family had
been in the habit of sleeping up
stairs on a veranda, and during the
night the bold burglars entered the
house and took from it such stuff as
they could convert into money. The
family. heard nothing during the
night but this morning the kitchen
door screen was found unlatched,
and on making an investigation it
was found that the jewelry and
money which was in bedroom bu-
reau drawer up stairs was gone
There was nothing down stairs that
was touched. The articles taken
from the upstairs room were an, opal
ring, garnet ring, signet ring, ear
rings, locket and chain, a chain
bracelet, one small ladys gold watch
and s32 in money, which was in
small purse.
The police officers were notified
this morning and are working On the
case but they have very slight clew.
Yesterday during the day two men
called at the residence and asked
for work. Mr.. Wagner was not at
home, but the men stated that they
would call again later in the eve
ming. 1t is these men that the Of
ficers are now working for, thinking
perhaps they had called at the house
simply to get a lay of the general
surroundings and had planned to
burglarize it later in the evening
The police officials urge special
care during the coming summer
months as thousands of bad men
from the east are f1ocking west to the
Seattle exposition. The police of Sc
attic are unusually vigilant and as
fast as located these men are driven
out of Seattle and will infest the
smaller towns

HILL WILL BUILD
new LINE
LETS CONTRACT FOR 40 MILES
OF ROAD CONNECTING NORTH
ERN PACIFIC WITH ADRIAN.
CONNELL BRANCH.

Blocking any attempt of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railroad to invade the rich grain
growing district of Adams and Doug
las counties, James ]. Hill has let
a contract for the construction of 40
miles of railroad from Ritzville TO a
connection with the Spokane, Port
land & Seattle branch line between
Adrian, on the Great Northern, and
Connell, on the Northern Pacific.
Caughren, Winters, Smith & Co, a
railroad contracting firm which has
contracts aggregating several mil
lions for the Milwaukee and Harri-
man systems. was awarded the con-
tract.
Ritzville, the capital OF Adams
county, is the chief originating sta
ton for wheat shipments in eastern
Washington. The new line, which
will cost S1,200,000, will run 40
miles west to the Ajrian-Connell
cutoff. This latter road links the
Great Northern main line through
the Big Bend wheat counties to the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle, the Hill
water grade line over which the
Great Northern magnate hopes
eventually to handle the bulk of the
eastern Washington wheat crop in
competition with the Hartman sys-
TEN.
The fight between Hill and the
Milwaukee has more than once
reached a bitter stage in this state.
The fire of conflict was fercest when
Hills friends here sought to block
the entry into Seattle of the Milwau-
bee line Later followed a bitter
war when Hill surveyors and Mil
waukee engineers clashed in the
Flathead country in Montana.
The new Hill line, which will give
his water grade route practical con-
troll in the Big Bend wheat growing
country, is projected short distance
north of the Milwaukee's main line
in eastern Washington. thereby cut
ting off that system from any share
in the rich wheat traffic Of Adams
and Douglas counties. Moreover, a
great advantage is conferred on the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle in get
ting the connections with both the
main lines of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern in the heart Of
the wheat belt.

hibit purposes all week. The fruit
for the exhibit this week was not
placed when the awards were made,
consequently Chelan county was not
in it at all. Mr.. Gellatly stated in
the little conversation that this coun-
ty did not have a fair shake at all
as no notification was given that the
awards would be made in a different
manner than that OF the previous
weeks.

sery company, returned this morn
ing from Seattle. where he has been

says that in color, size and general
quality the Chelan county Spitzen-

was lacking in quantity It was not
expected that the awards would be
made until Thursday anyway. Three
plates were on exhibit, whereas it re-
quires five plates in order to entitle

that Yakima is making strenuous eff
