PIANO MEN To
HAVE HEARING
EXAMINATION
WILL BE HELD THIS AFTER
NOON IN THE CASE OF CLINE
AND MILLER.

Young Cline and Smith, the men
arrested last week in Ellensburg for
the theft of the Ison Skagg team,
will be had this afternoon before
Justice Sumner. The facts in the case
of these men have been printed a
number of times. 1t seems that the
piano men were driving overland
from Seattle AMI made a deal with
Ison Skagg to purchase driving
team from him. The men offered to
pay for the team with a 60-day note
for s340, but upon application at the
bank for Identification, the bank Of
ficials refused to identify them, and
consequently the deal was called of
by Skagg.
The piano agents appeared to be
much upset by this miscarriage OF
their plans and they asked Skage
for permission to use his team tC
deliver piano in the country, a few
miles from Wenatchee. Skagg, who
is a rather simple minded fellow
consented, and that was the last he
saw of his team or the men. The
sheriff's office was notified and the
men were traced overland and ar
rested in Ellensburg.

TOLD OF LIQUOR
LEGISLATION
ANTI-SALOON MAN SPOKE AT LO-
CAL COMPLIMENT
ED REPRESENTATIVE HOLM
ON HIS POSITION.

Boyd P. Doty, superintendent OF
the Anti-Saloon League for the state
of Washington, spoke at the Baptist
church Sunday morning and in the
Presbyterian church in the evening.
In his addresses he discussed at
length the recent fight in the state
legislature for local option law.
"A1l local option laws" said he, "are
laws for the curbing of the saloon
business, and where there is now a
municipal unit, Their will be a fight
made for the precinct unit, and where
there is a precinct unit, in the future
there will be fight made for the
county unit, and in the states where
there is now a county unit, there is
going to be fight made for the state
unit.
1t is a progressive fight and those
legislators who have refused or have
been afraid to show their colors are
each being relegated to the shelf and
better class of men are being elect
ed to Office"
Commenting upon the laws enacted
In the legislature just past, Mr.. Doty
said:
"These are the laws that have been
passed: A municipal-rural unit local
option law; a law making it felony
to sell intoxicating liquors to an
Indian; a law prohibiting manufac-
turers, brewers, wholesalers, rectifiers
from holding any financial interest 10
saloons, paying or advancing a IL
cense fee, or becoming surety on the
bond of a saioonkeeper; law pro-
hibiting drinking on public convey
ances except in the apartments where
sold3 a law requiring all screens and
obstructions to be removed from the
fronts of saloons so as to give full
view az the interior.
"In all there we're 20 different
bills introduced in the legislature, af-
fecting liquor traffic. About ten OF
these were local option bills"
Discussing the local situation, he
said:
s'The fact that Wenatchee is going
dry on June 1, will prove to be one
of the greatest drawing cards for new
people that you have to offer. You
can afford to send this news out
broadcast. You ought to send it out
on every envelope and advertising
literature that goes out of the coun-
try. The result will be an influx OF
immigration of the class of people
who build cities"
The speaker complimented Repre-
sentative Holm on his stand in the
legislature, but said that his vote was
nullified by that of the senator from
this district.

COSGROVE.
DIED YESTERDAY MORNING
Chief Executive of the State Unable to
Rally from Acute Bright's Disease.
Had but One Days Duties as Gov
ernor. - Body Shipped to Olympia
and a State Funeral Planned.
(By Associated Press. }


Paso Robes, Cal, March 29.-Gov-
ernor Cosgrove died at Paso Robes
at $3.50 yesterday morning. The re-
mains were embalmed and a beauti-
full casket was provided. Howard
Cosgrove, the governors son and pri-
vate secretary, wired today that ar
rangements are being made for a
state funeral at Olympia.
Governor Cosgrove realized his life
ambition in being elected governor
of the state OF Washington. His hon.
or, however, was but an empty one,
inasmuch as he was able only to be
sworn in as the chief executive and
then was obliged to again depart for
Paso Robes, where he has been domi-
ciled since last summer. Immediately
after the primary election.
The cause of Governor Cosgrove's
death was due in great part to the
strenuous campaign which he waged
to secure the nomination. He spent
over a year in active campaign work,
visiting every county in the state and
organizing Cosgrove clubs, pledged
to his candidacy. The over-exertion
brought on a physical collapse and
death was a result of acute Brights
disease, induced by his strenuous
years work.
The papers recently have been full
of the reports that Mr.. Cosgrove was
much improved and that he was COM
ing north to assume his gubernator-
ial duties on June 1. Acting Cover
nor Hay, on the strength of the an
nouncements of the improved condi-
ton of the governor, had made par
tial arrangements to make a tour of
the world. The death was quite un-
expected on account of the repeated
bulletins of improvement sent out
from Paso Robes.

The seven head Of horses taken
from the barn lot of the Deak Brown
place, near Monitor, last week, were
discovered yesterday at the mouth OF
No. 1 canyon. From the appearance
of the horses it is very evident that
they had been driven OF. One OF
the horses shows very plainly the eff
fects of hard usage, indicating that
it had been either ridden or driven
very hard.
The officers are working on a clue
and it may be possible to apprehend
the men who drove OF the horses.
It is likely that their nerve failed
them before they managed to get
the horses out of the country.

and the vendor was Henry Barron,
of Bellingham. The lot is 25x120
and now contains a two-story frame
building. The sale was made by

the property will be improved by a
