when the thermometer reached 1903
i'm the shade. Today started off
quite warm and 1t looked as though
II was going to be a still hotter day
for the thermometer registered 92

causing the wheat to ripen very fast
and few more of them will bring on
harvest very soon. Several machines
are expected to start next Monday.
A union temperance meeting was
held here last night at which meeting
were represented the First Methodist
Episcopal, the Christian and the Bap-
tist churches. Rev. Marvin of Walla
Walla, was the principal speaker and
a large crowd turned out to hear him
for he is well known in this country
as very able speaker, his speciality
being the temperance subject. Rev.
Marvin made il plain to the audience
In his clear, concise way that it was
not the personal drinking habit of the
people that he was attacking but the

MURDERER MURDER VICTIM
Cheyenne Bad Man Meets Fate in
Negro Row Over "7-Comc-f1'
ut Citizens Club.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Within six weeks
after numbering Levi Ponds, a white
man, Levi Tracey, young colored
blacksmith of this city had justice
meted out to him here when he was
stabbed to death by James Henry an
other negro.

gro, 2S years of age, who had recent
ly been connected with several seri-
Gus disorders, being n witness in the
case now pending against James
Powell, accused of attempting to as
sault Miss Hattie Bryce in this city.
Tracy was the negro who acknowledge
ed shooting Grover Ponds in Tele-
phone Canyon, eight miles from Lara
mie, on April %. He was discharged
after a short preliminary hearing at
Laramie, but evidence has since been
secured which the authorities thought
warranted the case against him for
murder being taken up again. He
was known as a quarrelsome and dan
gerous man.
His end came shortly after midnight
in quarrel which grew out of a
game of dice at the Colored Citizens
club in this city. James Henry is
reported to have been losing and he
made a complaint which led to the
quarrel. He drew out a knife and
started for Tracy who pulled a gun
from the pocket of Teddy Alcott, a
white man, but before he could use
the weapon Tracy was oVerpowered
by steve Williams. a burly colored
man. The quarrel had the effect Of
clearing the room of a dozen or more
men, who rushed down the stairs.
While going down the stairs, or at
the bottom, Tracy was stabbed to the
heart by James Henry. The wounded
man walked few feet and fell in
the rear of the Midway saloon. where
he was picked up by Thomas Meyers
as he was breathing his last. Henry
was arrested shortly afterward by the
police, and three other witnesses were
arrested on Sunday morning by the
sheriffs force and are being held in
jail.

REDUCTION OF RATES MEANS
MUCH TO INLAND EMPIRE

Spokane, Wash.-Lumber dealers
and business men in Spokane and
throughout the Inland empire believe
that the decision handed down bv the
interstate commerce commission on
June 29 in the Spokane case against
the transcontinental railroads. reduc-
ing freight rate charges on more than
$50 commodities. shipped into this
district from eastern points. will re-
suit in extending the city's distribut-
ing territory and will give to Spokane
Its rightful place as the manufacture
ing for a district of 10000 square
miles in eastern Washington and
Oregon, north and central Idaho and
western Montana. y. w Doland.
president of the Spokane Merchants
association, who has been Identified
with the campaign for more equitable
rates since 1891. is of the opinion the
decision will mark the turning point
in Spokane's commercial history and
that factories will spring up on all
sides not only in spokane but also
in various parts of the district tribu-
tary to it.
Rate experts in Spokane figure that
the reductions will be from 30 to 80
per cent on 900 commodities. The
reductions are not as great as would
be made under an enforcement of the
long ana short haul rule. neither are
they as low as coast terminal rates.
but the general verdict is they are
certain to be of an important and
far-reaching effect The commission
ruled that the Spokane rates are un-
just and unreasonable in themselves;
without regard to coast rates on rail
road earnings. Walla Walla. Wash,
and Baker City, Pendleton and La
Grande, Ore. share in the reductions.
