PHENOMENAL NOR
TA[|TY RECORD
WHOLE VALLEY OF THE MET
HOW HAS BUT ONE DEATH IN
A YEAR FROM DISEASE-IS
HEALTHIEST OF STATE.

Only one death from disease in a
year in the whole valley of the Met
how is the phenominal record of that
region. Two other deaths occurred
during the year due to accidents.
The low mortality must be accepted
as a criterion of the healthiness of
Wenatchee valleys sister, the Met
how. The valley has a population
of approximately 5000. There is
only one physician, DR.. J. B. Couche,
of Twisp. There is such a small
amount of sickness that even he finds
it necessary to run a drug store, a
fruit ranch, and to dabble a little
in mines in order to utilize his time.
1t is probable that not another re-
gion in the whole United States can
beat the record along this line of the
new valley to the north. In fact the
atmosphere and surroundings of the
Methow gives one "youwould-like-
to-stay" feeling.

KILLED BY No. Z
PASSENGER
YOUNG MAN WHO WAS RIDING
THE BLIND BAGGAGE ON LAST
NIGHTS PASSENGER LOST HIS
LIFE JUST EAST OF TUNNEL.

There lies in the Sprague morgue
young man aged probably 25 years,
who lost his life riding the blind
baggage on passenger train No. 2
near the Cascade tunnel. From
memorandum books found on the
man his name was probably either
w. Clarke or Roy Lockwood. Both
names appear in the book. A card
from the employment agency of
Lillyman & Renard was also found.
1t directed Clarke to Grant Smith &
Co., big railway contractors of Seat
tie, and was issued June Is. From
DR.. Hoxsey the following particulars
of the mans death were obtained by
Undertaken Sprague.
Just after the passenger train
came out of the tunnel the conductor
heard somebody scream, and on in
vestigating the man was found on
the bunkers, where he had been

been badly pinched there, but assist
ance was given him and he was taken
into the mail car AMI an improvised
bed rigged up for him. A doctor was
telephoned for and in the meantime
the man asked for drink of water
and answered number of questions
that were put to him. The accident
was not considered very serious by
the trainmen, but before the train
reached Leavenworth the man had
died. He was brought On to this city
for burial by the county. Apparent
ly he is about 25 years of age, and
from the memorandum book 1t is to
be judged that he had worked for
various parties in the lower Yakima
valley. He stated that he had no
relatives.

TAMMANY tanned
F|REMEh
TWILIGHT GAME DREW
SOME TWO HUNDRED FANS TO
BALL PARK-FIVE INNINGS
PLAYED-SCORE 6 TO o.

The members of Tammany club
and the Wenatchee Fire Department
gave a reception to their friends at
the ball grounds Wednesday evening
The grounds were very prettily deco
rated for the occasion with bleach
ers, fair women and eager fans, to
say nothing of the sage brush and
the players. Here and there notices
were tastefully hung, bearing the
legends Gone to Their Last Fire"
1--WE Were, but Never Again." and
Eve Shall Meet, but We Shall Miss
Them" The reception was brought
to a close by the rendition of a
beautiful ballad, Mother, Mother,
Mother, Turn the Hose On Me-" or
"The Score is Nine to Six in Tam
many's Favor" in which the entire
fire department took part. Needless
to say that this ballad brought tears
to the eyes of many.
Some loud ructions at the gateway
shook Gordon Boyd, the Firemen's
wonder, ana before the smoke clear
ed away Tammany had sent two men
across the rubber. With the Firemen
at bat Tammany pulled OFF some
fancy flashes and the Hose Couplers
went out in one, two. three order.
Score to 0.
In the second Tammany again
smote safely, and in the confusion
that followed scored two more tai
lies. For the Firemen, same as
round one. Score 4 to 0.
In their half of the third Tammany
got men on bases but rested on their
laurels. Realizing that the game
was losing it's interest Capt. Arm
strong signalled the Tigers to loosen
up, with the result that three of the
Firemen rounded the bases like a col
ony of famished June bugs, much to
the delight of the dropping fans.
Score to 8.
In the fourth a spirited Tiger rally
steered five runs across in the midst
of rude noises such as two-baggers,
errors, etc. The Firemen also added
three runs to their credit in this in
ming
In the fifth Boyd retired to his
cave and Throw took his place. Tam
many went out one, two, three. Fire
men ditto.
For Tammany, Mike Anderson in
left garden made a sensational one
hand catch after hard run of near
ly one hundred yards. For the Fire
men the feature was rafting dou-
BILE play, Throw to Cushing to Ross,
and two fine catches in left field by
Bill Little.
Tammany showed up in rare good
form, thanks being due to Trainer
Tony Tsuni, who looks after the con-
dition of the Tigers.
Among the notables present were
Percy Scheble and others.
w. S. Gehr was official score-keep-
er and Frank Keller was umpire.
The lineup was as follows:
Tammany-Lemon, 2b; Shreeves,

CRITICIZE CRIMINAL
CODE
SUBJECT OF "GRAFTING" is ONE
TORNEYS-LAW CAN BE CON-
STRUED IN UNATTENDED WAY.

Attorneys throughout the state of
Washington for the last week or
more have been employing consider
able time looking over the new GRIM
inal code and there appears to be
more or less criticism on the code
from every corner.
The subject Of grating" which
is found in section 81, chapter 249
( of the session laws of 1909, has been
one of amusement for the attorneys
and is of considerable interest as the
former provisions are materially
changed Following is one section
of the law:
Provision of the Law.
Every person who shall ask or re-
ceive any compensation, gratuity or
reward, or any promise thereof, the
right to retain or receive which shall
be conditioned that such person shall,
directly or indirectly, successfully in
fiuence by any means whatever, any
executive, administrative or legisla-
tive officer, in respect to any act, de-
cision, vote, opinion or other proceed
ings, as such officer; or who shall
ask or receive any compensation,
gratuity or reward, or any promise
thereof, upon the representation that
he can, directly or indirectly, or in
consideration that he shall, or shall
attempt to, directly or indirectly, in
fluence any public officer, whether
executive, administrative, judicial or
legislative in respect to any act, deci-
sion, vote, opinion or other proceed
ings, as such officer, unless 1t be
clearly understood and agreed In
good faith, between the parties there
to, on both sides, that no means or
influence shall be employed except
explanation and argument upon the
merits, shall be guilty of a gross
misdemeanor."
In commenting upon the same
local attorney of this city says:
Taken literally, the law can be
applied to cases it was never intend
ed to cover and is very sweeping in
it's provisions. For instance, suppose
that an attorney were asked to take
petition to the governor Of the state
asking for the pardon of a prisoner.
- f1 hn aIo
er, before presenting the petition, it
is necessary that the attorney take
the issue up with his client and
agree, mind you, that no means shall
be used beyond explanation and argu-
ment on the merit, in getting the
governor to grant the pardon. Fail
ing to have the agreement, the attor-
ney Is guilty of gross misdemeanor.
"The same could be applied in the
case of petition being presented by
a paid representative to a common
council or other public body or any
case to be presented by an attorney
to any court.
"If literally construed. the law
would have the effect of doing away
with technical pleading and practice
as the agreement must be to employ
explanation and argument on the
merits of the case only. OF course.
Il do not say that the law will be so
construed by our courts, but con-
sidering the language of the act only
it is susceptible of such construc-
ton"

KILLED BY RATTLE.
SNAKE BITE
DIR. SAUNDERS BELIEVES THAT
YOUNG JOHN MOON DIED FROM
RATTLESNAKE BITE LAST SAT-
URDAY.

Coroner Saunders has returned
from a trip to the John Moon place
in Southside, where he made an in
vestigation as to the death of young
John Moon, who was found dead
Monday forenoon in his fathers
wheat field. From what DR.. Saun-
ders could learn the young boy was
fishing Saturday morning and re-
turned about II o'clock. He then
took staff which he used for killing
ground hogs and left the house. This
was the last seen of the boy alive.
The Moons and great many other
people eat the ground hogs and the
boy had become quite an adept in
catching these animals. He had
sharp point fixed to a wooden staff
about four feet in length, and he was
accustomed to running his hand
down into the holes of the ground
hogs and after pulling these to the
surface he would stab them with his
staff 1t is supposed that on this
day that when he ran his arm down
in the hole that he was bitten by a
rattlesnake, and while trying to get
to the house he died. His tracks
showed that he wandered around
considerably before he fell down. The
body was not found until Monday
forenoon and was badly 'discolored,
so that without a minute examina-
ton the cause of the boys death
could not be positively determined.
The family did not worry on account
of the fact that the boy did not re-
turn home, because he has many
relatives which he was accustomed
to visiting. Among these are the
Small, Nickum and Sullivan families,
and it was'supposed that the boy had
gone to visit some of these people.
Two younger brothers on Monday
were out after the ground hogs when
they discovered the body of their
dead brother. The father was at
once called and Coroner Saunders
notified.
When the boy left home he was
accompanied by his dog and the dog
remained with him until the arrival
of the father On Sunday neigh
Dor passed by, going to the Moon
home, and he saw the dog and heard
him growl, but as the dog does not
bear a very good reputation the
neighbor did not go very close to
where he was and it is thought that
if he had made a closer examination
he would have found the body of the
boy, but not suspecting the tragedy
he did not go very close to where
the dog was. The body was buried
Tuesday afternoon under the aus
pices of the Dunkard church, the in
terment being on the Moon place.
The Moon family is among the pio-
neers of this section of the country
and John Moon, the father, is very
well known in this city. The home
is about ten miles due east Of the
city. The death is considered very
sad
