ZELAYA'S LIFE is
SOUGHT BY ENEMIES

Mexico City, Jan. 7.-Jose Santos
Zelaya was yesterday warned by Of
flcials that the police authorities are
in receipt of secret information that
two Salvadoreans and an American
are in Mexico City and are awaiting
favorable opportunity to take his
life.
Officials of the police department
have advised Zelaya to arm himself
and prepare for any emergency. They
also have detailed two. secret service
men to accompany him. It is known
that Zelaya has exhibited nervous
ness since coming tosMexico City and
that he is never without a revolver.
In the 16 years that Zelaya ruled
Nicaragua, many people were exiled
from that country. Hence, he has
many bitter enemies, some of whom
are gloating over his recent misfor-
tunes.
Zelaya and his friends know that
he is hated by those who left Nicara-
qua when he was in power, and that
they are alert every minute to OBJ
serve any untoward action that may
betaken by any one. Friends OF Ze-
laya said the titular president of
Nicaragua had decided to buy haci-
enda in Mexico and live in the rural
districts. If this is true. he evidently
is not planning an early trip to Eu-
rope

INDIAN BRINGS HIS
SONS TO JUSTICE

Tulsa, Okla, Jan. 7.-"Sonny"
Smith, full blooded Indian and his
two sons are in Jail today charged
with murder. Smith was arrested
several weeks ago at the time of the
alleged murder but his sons escaped
to the swamps and were not to be
found. Finally Smith asked permis-
sion of Sheriff Newblock to go and
seek the fugitives. He promised to
come back and face trial. Newblock
allowed him to go bound only by his
promise.
The officials faith in the Indian
proved well placed. Yesterday Smith
with his two sons, and their families
returned to Tulsa. Here 1 am"
said Smith proudly, "and here are
my two sons whom 1 arrested in the
swamps of Arkansas near Muskogee.
l would have written you but could
not leave the trail. and most of the
time l was too far from a railroad"
| Smith and his sons were locked up
in the county Jail. They will be

ing to Mr.. RAIDER, giving her more
than the amount bequeathed to her
in the will. and paying her $50 per
month during her lifetime. c. NJ.
RAIDER, who in addition to being one
of the trustees, is attorney for the
trustees. says this settlement was ap-
proved by Mrs. Stubblefield's lawyer,
by her brother, B. A.. MCGUIRE, her
nephew, George A. Mcclure, ex-
auditor of Walla Walla county, and
w. p. Winans, president of the Farm
ers Saving Bank of Walla Walla, and
who was called in as one of the wild
ow's representatives.
Soon thereafter, however. Mrs.
Stubblefield attempted to bring suit
in Umatilla county to break the will.
AS she had become a resident of Wal
la Walla. the trustees filed suit in
the court of that state to enjoin the
widow from prosecuting the suit In
this state. The contending forces
then proceeded to fight out their con-
tentions before the courts of Wash
ington and the matter was finally
carried to the supreme court of that
state, the decision of that cour' be-
ing in favor of the trustees.
Attack is Renewed.
This final decision was rendered in
1904. In the meantime Mrs. Stub
blefield died, her estate was clost !.
UP by her administrator and the bat
tie for the Stubblefield estate re-
mained in statu quo until few
months ago when Attornews Coch-
rane & Cochrane of La Grande,
brought suit on behalf of large
number of the heirs of the deceased
widow who are located in Oregon and
Washington and also in the east.
They seek to have set aside all the
acts of the trustees holding that the
will was never properly probated and
declaring that it should have been
probated in this state. The trustees
through their attorney. C. NJ. RAIDER
filed demurrer to this suit and 1t Is
this demurrer which IL being argued
today.

KING EDWARD IN
GUISE OF A TRAMP

London.-Apropos of King Ed
wards letter of coincidence to the
family of the late "LaP' Brough, 1t is
interesting to know that more than
once his majesty has demonstrated
his love for the theater.
During the late Charles Fechter's
management of the Lyceum, the actor
was frequently visited in his dressing
room by the king (then Prince Of
Wales). and on several occasions in
structed his royal visitor in the art
of makeup.
One day the king suddenly ap-
peared before Queen Victoria in the
guise of tramp. Her majesty, terri
fled and imagining that by some
means or other a desperate character
had gained access into the place. flew
to the bell, but before the attendants
reached the apartments the prince
had thrown off his disguise
Naturally enough. he was very
proud of the fact that the queen had
failed to recognizez him: 1t is said
however, that her majesty did not ap-
preciate the joke to the extent that
the perpetrator did.

ed as Expectations Prisoners
Will Plead Tomorrow.

has been indicted on the charge of
murder in the first degree by the
Umatilla grand jury in connection
with the killing of Andy Rabeal near
Umatilla on the evening of Nov. 23,
of last year. No surprise was created
by the announced result of the in
general public has been satisfied
since the arrest of the former PEN
dleton bus driver that the officers had
caught the right man.
other indictments returned were
against Thomas Stickney and George
O'Connor who were arrested by
Night Officer Kearney while they
were breaking into the Bond Broth
ers store, the night after Rabeal was
murdered in the west end of the
county.
These three men together with
Carl Smith, who was indicted few
days ago on the charge of larceny
for taking some clothing and sheep
shearing outfit from the room of an
other man, will be given a chance to
plead tomorrow morning at o'clock.
Tracy Stickney, and O'Connor will
probably plead not guilty, but 1t Is
expected that Smith will enter plea
of guilty to the charge which has
been brought against him.
The grand jury has not yet COM
pleted its labors and other indict-
ments will probably be included In
the formal report which will be made
this afternoon or tomorrow.

BOOK FOR BOY READERS

New York-Christy Matthewson,
premier slab artist of the New York
Giants, is at work on series OF
books for boy readers that probably
will be ready for the press late next
month.
Matty's books each will deal with
some athletic activity. There will be
a western boy who has come to the
east to attend college.

the intercollegiate sports while stu

ed him in position to transcripe
for his juvenile readers what actually
takes place on the athletic fields of
American colleges. The writing of
the books is said to be the result of
an ambition of many years standing.

defended his subordinates for the aid
they gave L. r. CLAWS in preparing

1.-THE rules OF official decorum exist
in the interest of official administra-
tion and of that alone. If. they are
used to prevent an honest and vigi-
liant official from saving the prop
erty of the public their purpose is vi
olated, and they become worse than
useless. Price and Shaw concede
that they did transgress propriety.
But measured by the emergency
which faced them, by the purity of
their motives and the results which
