WOULD FORM FARM
HANDS union NOW
Curbstone Orator Propounds Again the
Plan for Organization of Harvest
Hands in the Waia WaIla
Valley.

Remarks delivered with the inten-
ton of effecting an organization OF
harvest employees were delivered at
Third and Main streets this morning
by an unknown individual who drifted
into the city yesterday in search of
employment, and an anxious knot OF
would-be harvesters eagerly listened to
the burning words of the curbstone
orator. who would force the farmers tc
nav a certain wage scale and grant
such concessions as the employees de-
sired.
The plan of organizing a harvest
hands union in Walla Walla has been
tried here for the past seven years.
and each year the promoters of the
scheme have met with the same dismal
failure. A number of those who were
this morning listening to the argu-
ments of their champion went to work
this afternoon for figures quoted them
bv the farmers, and it is considered
,ikelv the orator will be among the
last to accept a position in the har-
vest fields.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-A COM

Police j : Six Implicated
in sne of Killing
ssionary.
FOUR WERE ACTIVE
TWO ACCOMPLICES
Others Say She Had Learned
Too Much of Chinese
Secret Societies.

NEW YORK, June 30-The sudden.
activity of the police and the detailed
search for Leon Ling the supposed
slayer of Elsie Sigel, is learned today
to be due to the belief that six China
men are implicated in the crime, four
actually participating and two acting
as accompliceS.
Some of these are supposed to be
hiding in New Jersey. Forty detectives
were sent among the orientals of that
state yesterday.
One theory is that the girl became
too familiar with the secret workings
of the Chinese societies and was
probably killed on that account.

construct it's main line canal to the
west boundary line of these lands

tiffs a permanent supply of water,

domestic purposes. Failure to do this
was to result in damages not exceed

viously agreed to pay. The Paine
brothers, who then held a legal title
to lots l, and of section 13. on No

THE HIGH REGARD
 OF DOUGLAS PAPERS
For Henry Schmidt, Whose UntimeIy End Came Last Week.

Both the Douglas International and the Douglas Dispatch of Friday of last week contained a long article telling of the death of Henry Schmidt and speaking of him as a Douglas resident in the highest terms An extract from each account is given below:
 The International says:
 MT. Schmidt's last employment was with the Daily Dispatch, as bookkeep- CT, and previous to that he was con- nected in a similar capacity with the International. He was also connected at other times with the First National bank and the F. R. Pirtle company In all these positions he performed his duties capably. being thorough going. business-like and courteous in all his relations. His integrity was unim- peachable. and it followed that he should make and hold a wide circle of friends In the social life of the city he was conspicuous and in the affairs of the local Elks' lodge he took great interest
 The Dispatch says:
 MT. Schmidt was a young man of sterling worth and integrity, univer- sally liked by all of those who had employed him, and with such an easy and genial manner that his social friends numbered all who had met him socially. In connection with his work for The Dispatch it is but justice to say that he kept on when he was physically unable to and that even after he was forced to resign by i'll health he continued to volunteer such aid as he could give while ais suc- cessor was becoming familiar with the books and systems of the office.
 He was a young man of exemplary habits, and socially and from the busi- to Douglas.

GOVERNMENT WELLS
 STATION DESTROYED
A Fire Broke Out There Sunday Morning.


 Fire, at an early hour Sunday morning, destroyed the stage station at Government Wells. The build Roosevelt Stage company and Gov vernment Wells is the first station east of Mesa where a change of horses is made on the route be- tween this city and Roosevelt. There are two stories current as to the origin of the fire, one is that E. R. Bryan, who has charge of the station, had just built a fire in the heating stove in the front part of the kitchen, when he smelled the fumes of smoke. and going to the sitting room found it ablaze.
 The other is that Mrs. Taylor was awakened by the odor of smoke and awakened the other members of the family and guests, all of whom dressed and began fighting the fire. The structure was built of lumber and was soon gutted, as there was no effectual means for combating the flames.
 MT. Bryan had been in town on Saturday and purchased some furni- ture and a kitchen range, all of which were destroyed, as well as property of guests.
 A. H. Demerick, superintendent of construction on the government transmission line was a guest at the station at the time and lost a DOT tiOn of his clothing.
 MT. Bryan was in town yesterday morning purchasing new supplies. These included several tents, which will be used for shelter. It is ex- pected that the station will be re- built immediately
