LIKE FAIRY TALE HEROINE.
Little Girl Befriends Aged Woman
and Is Left Fortune,

and Is Left Fortune.
Like the heroine of a fairy tale.
MISS Elsie j. Murphy, OF 1888 uager-
man street, Wissinoming, has been re-
warded for kind deed by the sudden
gift of riches, says the Philadelphia
Press. Several years ago, while living
at Horsham, Pa. Elsie befriended an
aged woman by defending her against
other children of the village who be-
lieved her to be mad and who accept
ell every opportunity to plague her.
The Murphys moved to Wissinoming
and Elsie had forgotten even the name
of the aged woman, when only few
days ago she received bulky enve.
lope stamped with the letterhead of a
Philadelphia lawyer. Inside was the
copy Of the will of Mrs. Howard Frey
Irwin, who died in the city of New
York early in July and who bequeath-
ed the bulk of her estate, amounting
to several thousand dollars, to Elsie
Johanna Murphy, ''in memory of her
great kindness to stranger"
Inclosed with the will was a letter
from Charles Bowman, the lawyer, who
had forwarded 1t. The letter said that
several weeks had been required to
find Miss Murphy's residence, as the
only. address given in the will was the
one at Horsham. The letter further
said that Identification was now COM
plete and that Miss Murphy was the
heir to small fortune.
The young heiress did not seem at
all overcome by her good fortune the
other day when a reporter called. She
was sitting on her front doorstep, a
very pretty girl in very much muss-
ed gingham dress.
"Yes, I'm Elsie Murphy" she said.
"Yes, I'm the one who had all the
money left to me, but l won't get 1t
for long time. I'm only ~ now and
they won't give it to me till I'm 81.
That's ages" she said, and seemed to
lose all interest in the matter.
Elsie's mother was more commune
cative. II remember Mrs. Irwin very
WELL" she said. "The children used
to think she was crazy. and whenever
she would walk past the village school
they would run out to make fun of
her or even to throw stones. Elsie
never liked to see any one hurt, and
would take the old lady's part, often
walking home with her to see that she
was not molested. One day she called
at the school and asked the teacher
who Elsie was, and after that she call
ed to see us several times That was
almost two years ago, and I'd forgot
ten the old lady's name, but I'm sure
1t must have been she who left Elsie
the money"

A SONG OF FAR TRAVEL.

Many time some drowsy oar
From the nearer bank invited,
Crossed narrow stream, and bore
In among the reeds moon-lighted,
There to leave me on shore
No ferryman hath sighted.
Many time mountain stile,
Dark and bright with sudden wetting,
Lured my vagrant foot the while
Twixt uplifting and down-settling-
Whittier? Thousand mile on mile
Beyond the last forgetting.
Still by hidden ways l wend,
(Past occasion grown ranger);
Still enchantment, like friend,
Takes from death the tang of danger;
Hardly river or rod can end
Where l need step a stranger
Atlantic.

WOULD LIKE CHECK
RETURNED
COMPANY WHO BID ON HEATING
PLANT FOR HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING TRYING TO RE.
COVER $500.

When the contract for the new
Wenatchee high school was let the
Courtney Heating & Plumbing COM
pany of Seattle was the lowest bid
der for the heating plant. Each bid
der was required to put up a bid
equal to a certain percent of the bid
ding price. The Courtney people put
up a cash deposit of $500. The COM
pany was awarded the contract but
afterwards got cold feet and refused
to sign up. The company was some
$4,000 lower in its bid than any of
its competitors. On the refusal of
the company to sign contract this
job was let to the lowest bidder ana
the local school board retained the
$500 put up by the Courtney people.
Now a representative of the COM
pany is in the city for the purpose
of trying to get back its deposit. The
board, however, is not going to part
with the $500. claiming that the de-
posits were required for just such
cases as this. 1t Is possible that suit
will be instituted by the Seattle COM
pany.

SURPRISED At We
NATCHEE BRIDGE
LESTER COFFIN, WHO CROSSED
$4,000 HEAD OF CATTLE ON
BRIDGE YESTERDAY. SAYS 1T
Is A PERFECT STRUCTURE.

Lester Coffin, of the Coffin-Bab-
cock Land and Live Stock company,
who is in the city having in charge
the transferring of 1000 head of cat
tie from the Moses lake country to
the Colockum ranch of the company,
was very much surprised at the We
natchee bridge across the Columbi
river at this place. 1t is a good deal
more substantial structure than he
had anticipated, and Mr.. Coffin has
crossed stock on most of the big
bridges in the state and says that
he was never on a more substantial
bridge than the one in this city. A
few head of cattle were crossed in
the morning, but the big bunch of
fully 1850 head crossed in less than
two hours yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Coffin was so well pleased with the
bridge and the courtesies of the
Washington Bridge company that he
voluntarily dictated the following
letter to the company this morning:
'Wenatchee, Wash, June 25.
Washington Bridge Company, We
natchee, Washington.
Gentlemen: I wish to express
my appreciation of your courtesy in
placing at my disposal your bridge
across the Columbia river for the
crossing of 1000 head of cattle
which I recently purchased in Grant
county. AS your representatives who
were present at the crossing know,
we were able to take the cattle
across as rapidly as we could get
them punched together and were
able to keep three or four punches of
from so to Is on the bridge at one
time. There was no vibration in the
structure even when the cattle broke
into a trot for short distances, and
the last bunch, which numbered
about $50 cattle, produced no vibra-
tion whatsoever. 1t is also worthy
of note that it was unnecessary to
interrupt the regular traffic across
the bridge while the cattle were
crossing, there being at one time six
teams and 800 head of cattle on the
bridge.
With many thanks for the privi-
lege of using your bridge, am,
"Yours truly,
"COFFIN-BABCOCK LAND & LIVE
STOCK CO."

HAD SON LIVING
IN VALLEY
MRS. A. A. HILTON, WHO WAS
IN LOWER KILLARNEY LAKE,
MOTHER OF HOYT w. HILTON.

The Associated Press dispatches
have recently conveyed the intelli-
gence of the capsiizng of a large row
boat carrying five American and four
English tourists and four Irish boat
men, in a gale, while crossing lower
Killarney lake, Ireland, Wednesday
afternoon. All of the tourists and
two boatmen were drowned. Two
of the victims were Mrs. A. A. Hilton
and son, of Tacoma. Mrs. Hilton
was the wife of A. A Hilton, of Ia
coma, who is general manager of
the Griffin-Carr Wheel Works in
south Tacoma. Mr. Hilton, Sr. and
his son. Hoyt W., are property own
ers in this valley, having this spring
purchased the Ed Cain place Just
west of town in canyon No. g. Mr.
Hilton, when he received the news
in Tacoma, was just preparing to
leave for New York to meet his wife
and son, who were to sail from
Liverpool June 26. He Immediately
took the Northern Pacific train for
Spokane and wired Harry Taylor of
the Great Northern hotel here to
send rig after Hoyt, the son, who
was on his place, and tell him to
prepare for a trip east The young
man left on the early morning train
for the east. He was very much
elatei at the prospects of a trip and
knew nothing of the sad drowning
of the mother and brother.
None of the bodies of the drowned
ones were recovered at the last ac-
counts.
The boat was used for taking visit
ors about the lake Most of the pas
sengers were guests at the Great
Southern hotel. The party started
out in the morning sightseeing.
When the lower lake was reached it
was found that a heavy wind from
the northwest was blowing. Several
other boats that had started over
the same course put back.
1t was not long before anxiety be-
gan to be felt for the boat that had
continued on the course, and search
ing parties, which put out when the
wind had died down a little, discov-
cred the boat overturned with two
of the boatmen clinging to the keel.
Rev. Mr.. Barton and two of the
women could be seen in the distance
supported by an oar, but they sank
before the rescuers could reach them.
The. others had disappeared.
The two boatmen who were saved
were too exhausted to give an ac-
count of the accident.

WATER SUPPLY IS
STILL LIMITED

Up until Wednesday night the city
was using nothing but Squillchuck
water but possibly owing to the hot
weather the supply in the reservoirs
ran short and water from the high
line canal was turned in that night
Until the new system is completed
the water supply is going to be short
Notwithstanding that water Is Sc
cured from the high line canal.
The Entiat Power company expects
to have its connection with the We
natchee Canning company plant and
the city pumping plant completed
the latter part of next week, If no
serious obstacles are encountered.
But until the new pump is running
the water supply is bound to be low
and Commissioner Sherburne is in
sisting that there shall be no waste
in the city water supply.

CITY IS BASEBALL
CRAZY
REPORTER FINDS BUSINESS AND
PROFESSIONAL MEN TALKING
BASEBALL PROWESS.

The Daily World reportorial staff
is strictly up against it in the matter
of filling up eight pages of news of
local character The town is base
ball crazy, and in the business and
professional Offices and stores there
is nothing but baseball talk. 1t is
impossible to get the people to talk
of anything else, and consequently it
makes it very difficult for the re-
porters of the Daily World to find
anything but baseball talk and gos-
sip.
The real estate men under the
leadership of Ed. S. Russell assem-
bled last night and formed some
sort of an organization for baseball
purposes 1t is said that there were
some $50 names on the list, from
which a ball team will be selected.
1t is said that none but active mem
bers in the real estate business is
on the list and each one has been
assessed 81 for the purpose of secur-
ing uniforms and equipment. Man
ager Russell says that his team will
be dressed with the nobbiest suits of
any in the~league.
The Tammany club has also Or
dered suits and they will be here in
the course of a few days.
Manager Owens of the Columbia
Valley Bank team placed the order
for suits for his team the first of the
week. It is not known whether the
other teams will come out in uni
forms or not, but it is likely that
they will.
The printers and newspaper men
assembled last night in the Daily
World Office and formed perma-
nent organization and will be ready
with the scheduled games for next
week.
The second team showed up very
well last night at the practice. They
met for the purpose of competing
with the first team, but this failed
to show up.
The lawyers are kicking some be-
cause the Tammany has monopolized
the services of Catcher Sorenson in
that team and the Columbia Valley
Bank has enlisted Sam Sumner and
W. O. Parr. Some of the lawyers
insist on playing ball and If it is not
possible to organize a lawyers team
they will associate themselves with
some other team and can do SO
legitimately.

SINCLAIR HAS AUTO
EXPERIENCE
ATTEMPTED TRIP TO CASHMERE
BUT TIRE EXPLODED AND HE
HAD NO TOOLS-WRECKING
OUTFIT TO RESCUE.

Mr.. Sinclair started for Cashmere
in his machine purchased recently,
with one of his agents, and it must
be confessed that Mr. Sinclair show
ed pluck in starting over a mountain
road of which he knew but little. All
went we'll until Mr. Sinclair reached
a point opposite Sullivan's ranch,
near Monitor, when, on the down
grade, one of the tires exploded, the
tire leaving the wheel and the whole
machine nearly going into the ditch,
which, incidentally, was down the
side of the mountain some $50 feet.
Mr.. Sinclair left his place of busi-
ness with the machine and neglected
to see that his pump and tire re-
pair outfit were in working condi-
tion, and when he proceeded to re-
pair his tire found that he had no
tools or material to do the work
with, whereupon he proceeded to
call up his partner, Mr.. Halling, who
solicited the services of F. M. Elliott
of Colbert & Elliott, and a wrecking
crew started to the front. Mr.. SIN
clair was found hard at work on the
machine, but his task was hopeless,
inasmuch as he was lacking in tools
and somewhat inexperienced. Mes
srs. Halling and Elliott took with
them pumps, tire repair outfit, etc.
The tire was put in temporary COM
mission, the car placed back on the
road and run to the Sullivan ranch,
the tire again taken OF and again
repaired, placed back on the wheel
and Messrs. Sinclair and Elliott, with
Mr.. Elliott at the wheel, started back
to the city, and with the car so near
ly out of commission one may be as
sured the task was stupendous. 1t
was necessary to run the car a few
feet with the engine at full speed
and unblock the wheels, race the en-
gine, throw in the clutch, let it push
as far as it would until the engine,
stopped. throw on the brake, block
the wheels and repeat the operation
Following the river road, one who
is familiar with it would not doubt
that it was rather desperate un-
dertaking. the road being SO bad. The
gentlemen had no lights other than
one single, dingy oil lamp, and on
reaching the top of the last grade
where the descent was made to the
bridge. there is no doubt that Mr.
Halling told the truth when he said
"Those lights look mighty good to
me-" The party arrived in Wenat-
chez about midnight. tired and hum
CRY. There is no doubt that the next
time this particular car starts out 1t
will be well equipped.
Mr.. Sinclair was interviewed this
morning and said he would not give
a great deal for the experience he
had last evening, but he would not
go through it again for $4,000.
