Cation and Fl. N. Garner, counsel for
Pines aud Dorsey, had also made mo-
tions for new trials for their clients.
Mr.. Machen Was followed by Mr.. >
G.. Brent, commonwealth attorney,
WIN spoke in the defense of the iu-
dictment and conviction of the three
men.
Judge Barley overrnled the motion
for a new trial, sitter which each prisO-
ner was brought in separately.
johnson was the first called upon to
show cause why the sentence of death
should not be passed upon him. In
weak voice he replied: "Well, judge
/ have nothing to say except that | am
innocent" The court thereupon sem
fenced him to be electrocuted Septem-
Der 8.
Richard Pines was next ushered into
the prisoners box. In answer to the
usual question he stood erect and, in
very nervous condition, said: "YOu
ought to give me a show. smith is
looking for his freedom, and that 10
why he is keeping 50 quiet heard
him tell a woman in Jail about So add
a watch, and he promised to pay her
when be got out. 1 wish the people

Judge Barley replied: "Pines, you
have been represented by able counsel,
and you have had splendid jury from
Fairfax county and they have found
Won guilty of one of the most diabOlical
crimes ever committed here, and one
which stirred the whole country" He
thereupon sentenced Pines to die on
September 10 The convicted man
trembled with emotion as the sentence
was pronounced. After he had been
sentenced the prisoner, as stated yester-
day, said: "Jndge your honor, | be-
lieve in man dying for his crimes,
hat if you murder me you will cause
G ID Almighty to gtieve on his throne"
Dorsey was subsequently placed in
TN, prisoners box, and he also annOun-
ced he was an innocent man. Judge
Barley sentenced him to die on Sep
TENDER IL.
Within few minutes sfterwsrd
Henry Smith, the negro who turned
S ate's evidence which resulted in the
conviction of the three foregoing men,
was brought into cOnrt, and on his
own motion his trial was continued
until the september term of court,
which will be 'ptember "a, exactly one
week after the last OF the three have paid
the death penalty.
Smith WAS sent to the Alexandria
county Jail and Pines, Johnson and
Dorsey we're placed in the Jail in this
city.

Government Approves Natural Town
Locations Already Established
on Indian Lands.

SPOKANE, July 3.-The govern
ment will not make townsite reserva-
tions in the Spokane and Occur
d 'Alene Indian reserves, says Judge
James w. Witten. Old settlers have
mapped out natural centers of popu-
lation along the lake.
Seven townsites have been rese:v-
ed by government engineers in the
Flathead reservation. Most of them
are located on line of the Northern
Pacific. These centers are Rayalli,
Dixon, Arlee, Roman and st. Ig-
natius Mission.
Actual settlers upon any single lot
may pre-empt that lot and any addi-
tional lot on which they have made
substantial improvements. This pre-
emption proof, showing residence an
improvement upon the original ,ot,
must be made after publication of the
usual notice.
The townsites in the Flatheal res
erNaton will not exceed $40 acres
unless the population at time of sale
of the land is 1000.

BIG FIRE IN OLYMPIA.
Plant of National Wood Pine Co. is
Wiped Out-Loss of 100000.

OLYMPIA, July 3.-Olympia sus-
tanned a 100000 fire loss this even
ing when blaze which broke out in
the plant of the National Wood Pipe
Company completely destroyed that
property, including a large quantity
of lumber. Only sudden change of
the wind from the west
prevented the destruction of the
major portion of the wooden built
city. AS it was embers were carried
half a mile across an arm of the bay
and set fire to and destroyed the J. F.
Bryan grocery and three small resi-
dences adjoining.
The pipe factory was the leading
industry of the city, being vauled at
about $250,000 and employed from
so to 100 men. The product has
been shipped all over the North
west. The factory is the outgrowth
of a pioneer wooden pipe factory
started here thirty years ago. The
company is owned in California, and
all the chief officers are out of the
city, so plans for rebuilding cannot
be learned here. The company car
ried about $4,000 insurance.
The origin of the fire is not
known, but it may have been caused
by cigarette stub dropped lighted
in the tar ROOM

ECONOMYNOW RULES
The CLOSING HOURS OF The
LEGISLATURE.
Special Session AdjOurnS TO August
~. Salaries Are Cut and Paw Roll
Reduced. House Appoints Three
impeachment managers, Meias,
Sparks and Edge.

OLYMPIA, July 2-In the tenth
day OF It's special session the senate
adjourned today at 1880 o'clock to
p. m. August II, when it will sit
as an Impeachment tribunal to try
J. H. Schively. Five minutes later
the house adjourned to the same
time. There was no riot and little of
the usual applause characteristic of
the ordinary final adjournment of a
legislature. Most of the members left
at 1880 on special train for Ia
coma and Seattle
There has been a question as to
whether or not the house needs to
come back as full body on August
II, Senator Graves holding in the
senate yesterday in debate that it
need not. However, the authorities
in the house declare that under the
constitution the house must reas-
| semble at that time. Just before
adjournment Speaker Meigs made a
statement to IT,. effect. Farms
worth objected, saying that nine
members could assemble on August
L and hold the organization, requir-
ing the attendance of others when
needed, but he got no support for
his idea.
No members draw pay during the
recess except the managers of the
impeachment. and they, by resolu-
tion of the house adopted today, get
$40 day, but at the same time the
house reduced their number from
eleven to three. The three are
Speaker Meigs and Representatives
Sparks and Edge.
The Duwamish river improvement
bill and all legislation pending that
did not pertain strictly to absolute
necessities were killed before the
adjournment. This slaughter in
cluded Rydstrom's new game bill,
which passed the senate this morning,
but sent to slumber in committee in
the house.
Adjournment would have come
much earlier in the day had it not
been for the fight between the two
houses over the compensation of the
! managers. Yesterday the house
adopted resolution to pay the i'm
peachment managers 81 day for
their services, and to employ the
clerk Of the house and the sergeant
alarms for the managers. Then the
senate passed bill appropriating
$4,000 for the expenses of the
impeachment, but limiting in the bill
the payment of senators and Of inn
peachment managers to IS a day.
