dead. 80 dying and 115 in serious
condition as the result of heat wave
that swept Japan the past few days.
Public sentiment has been aroused
over the action of the military au-
thorities compelling the men to drill
in the sweltering heat, and a court
martial is demanded
The men dropped like flies, but the
maneuvers were not stopped. Six

PEELED to maneuver. Nearly a hun
dred were overcome and fell. OF this

FIVE LOCAL BOYS ARRESTED ON
CHARGE Of STEALING JUNK

brought a rather busy week to a close
this morning by the arrest of five
boys from II to 13 years of age on
the charge of stealing. AS the only
punishment provided by the city ordi-
nances for the offense charged was
fine or Imprisonment and as Acting
Recorder HALEY could not see where
any good would accrue to the boys
from either of these forms of pun
ishment, he turned them over to the
Juvenile court. AS truant officer of
this court Mr.. HALEY will keep the
boys under his orders until Judge
Gilliland returns to town.
The boys under arrest are Frank
Hutchinson, aged IL years; Will Ru-
pert, aged 70; George Howard, aged
13; Arnold Reed, aged 10; and Kin
Reed, aged 70. The last two named
are not related.
It seems that certain boys of the
city have been carrying on depreda-
tions for some time past, so when It
was reported this morning that some

Washington, July 19.-Acting Sec
retary of the Interior Pierce yester-
day denied the motion of Mossie ct al
to contest scrip location filed by Fred
Kribs and c. A. Smith on about TO-
600 acres of heavily timbered land in
Curry county. oregon, thereby revers-
ing the position which he orally an
nounced several weeks ago.
The land was originally included in
state school indemnity selection

but the state base proved to be in
valid and Kribs and Smith, under a
priority right, secured through the ef-
forts of Governor Chamberlin, filed
on it with Aztec Land & Cattle COM
pany schip. Mossie and others at
tacking these scrip filings, alleging
conspiracy.

Notwithstanding the many remark
able condolences in connection with
the two mysterious cases, the body of
the giant which occupies an unknown
grave in the Olney cemetery is not
that of Curt Pless, the missing grain
broker OF Bellingham Washington, in
the belief of Coroner Ralph Folsom,
The cause for his changed opinion
is the receipt of a letter from Mrs.
Pless in which she gives a more de-
tailed description of the missing man
than has yet been received here.
There are three main points OF diff
ference in the description, but these
are now declared to be sufficient.
Curt Pless did not wear a moustache
and his hair was a very light blonde.
He also had a deep scar below the
knee as the result Of gunshot
wound. The body OF the nah found
floating in the Columbia river and
whose description otherwise talliev
perfectly, wore dark brown nous
tache and had dark brown hair. The
remains were carefully examined for
scars or marks Of any kind and none
were sound.
The coroner is therefore forced to
the belief that the body of the MUIR
dered man Is not that of Curt Pless
and the remains will probably not be
dlsinterred. Mrs. Pless says she is
not able to bear the expense of dis
interment for an examination Of the
teeth, but Coroner Folsom says he
would do it at his own expense II he
was not now fully convinced that the
body Is not that Of Pless.

SETS RECORD FOR
FAST GRAIN HARVESTING

Waitsburg, Wash, July 10
Special.-Records for fast havesting
in southeastern Washington this sea-
son were broken Thursday, when a
steam threshing outfit operated by
Josh Barnes in Spring valley near
Waitsburg cut and threshed 194S
sacks of barley between sunrise and
dark. The record is more remarkable
from the fact that it was necessary
to move the machine twice during the
day, and that two headers supplied
the grain for the run. That the thresh-
ing was thoroughly done is evidenced
by the yield. which was so bushels to
the acre, record in itself. I. Nickel
son. threshing on the Frank Zuger
ranch near here. has made the second
best days run with 1850 sacks. Owing
to the heavy stand and quality of
grain, farmers expect TO set some
worlds records for fast harvesting
