Republicans Elect 2 Officials;
First In Thirty-Four Years

On the face Of the returns Of the
election from over the state it ap.
pears that the entire democratic

at this time to get anything like
accurate figures owing to the fact
that complete returns from a nam.

received.
Amendment No. 10 has evidently
carried by majority anywhere from
thirty five to fifty thousand while
No. IL has probably been defeated.

ONE DAYS BUSINESS
IS SIXTY-ONE. CARS
Northern Pacific Agent Will En-
deavor Today to Learn Exact
Conditions in Valley.

Sixty-one carloads Of fruit from the
Yakima valley were sent out from
Pasco Monday morning. This isn't a
record, as one day previously the
number ran to 62 cars. 1t shows,
however, that the work being done
is definite and steady and that the
fruit of this section is going forward
at a good rate. Each day sees a
number Of shipments westward which
are in addition to those east from Pas
CO. All the Australian fruit from this
valley, of which there has been a
considerable quantity. went out of Pa
cific coast ports.
An attempt will be made today by
F. e. Moline, of the refrigerator car
department of the Northern Pacific
railroad, to obtain from the shippers
some idea Of the quantity of fruit
yet remaining to be handled. Mr.. S.
o. Moline has the original estimates
and knows how many cars have been
shipped out to date. He wants to
know now whether the growers are
changing their figures. He wants to
know whether a third or half OF the
fruit has gone forward and what the
PROJECTS are for the future. He wants
TO know whether the balance can be
sent forward in two months at the
present rate of shipment. He will
seek today to get an answer to these
questions. He believes himself that
half the apple crop, or near to it,
has gone out of the valley and wants
to know whether the shippers think
so, also.

100000 is Central Figure
In Superior Court.

With the completion of the Black
man personal injury case in the SUI
perior court Monday, the case of Anna
E. Mullins against Pat Mullins and

The plaintiff who was formally the
wife of John Mullins, son of the de-
PENDANTS, obtained a divorce in April

husband had brought similar action
against her. Now she declares that
it was the intervention of her hus-
bands parents, that caused the es-
arrangement.
Plaintiff is represented by the law
firm Of Wende & Taylor. Attorneys
Englehart and Riggs are appearing
for the defendants.

SHAUGHNESSY GETS
IN TROUBLE AGAIN
Man Who Cut Something of a
Figure Here Couple of Years
Ago Is Sought by Police.

Bert e. Shaughnessy is operating
again. He Is wanted by the American
Bankers association because of his pc
culiar financial methods. Bert has
friends here who learned something
of his operations a couple of years ago.
He floated into this city on a Pullman
car, accompanying himself as a son of
Thomas Shaughnessy of the Canadian
Pacific railroad, undertook to make
a rather extensive purchase Of the
one of the hustlng real estate men
of the community, took a lady friend
or two to dine at the hotel and put
bad one over on the clerk. Then
he was caught and showed himself
to be something of a gentleman by
not telling all he knew; at least by
not telling 1t out loud. And he went
to Walla Walla. He was released
Sept. 80. and since then has acquired
such aliases as w. w. Wilson, Bert
Shaw and NJ. A. Williams.
AS Wilson he operated at Belling-
ham making an alleged purchase of
supplies for a British Columbia con-
Germ and giving in payment three
checks of sS8 each which were worth
less. That Is why the Burns Sc Sheri-

ture and description have been post

Shaughnessy Is a Scotchman and civil
engineer. Is about 80 years Old and
rather progressing. In view OF the
fact that he has been less than 80
days out OF Ienitentiary and IN again

CHAMBERS REPORTED
IN PARKER CORRALS
Horses, 1t Is Said, Were Abandon

Without Water or Food.

Chambers, according to a report
from Parker. has broken out among
a number of horses there and the ami
mails nave been condemned by the
state veterinarian. The cases, the re-
port says, are bad, because of alleged
and cruel neglect of the animals. 1t
is stated that they were locked up in
corral for nearly two weeks without
food or water and were attended to
only when complaint was made by
people who became cognizant of the
facts.
A contractor. it is said, who was do
ing work in the Parker section for a
railroad, took the horses to the corral
Of a rancher there and obtained per-
mission to leave them, the understand
ing being that he was to care for
them himself. He then went away
to Idaho and day or two later the
ranch owner himself went away. This
left the horses unprovided for and the
report is that the owner had aband-
oned the animals. They were in a
very bad condition and a state veter-
marian declared the case to be gland

Accompanying the delay was the

they were without information other
than that sent to them. There was

Many Victims.

Ketchner's victims consist of every
one who has CHANGED within range of
his unlimited supply of saliva-and
his aim is well nigh perfection. Dep
uty Sheriff Day felt a well welded
shoe bounced off his head and while
passing his breakfast into his padded
cell, the demented mans wife met
with a calamity when Ketchner DASH
ed a pair of soft boiled" eggs back
through the bars into her face.
A trustee while assisting IN dress
ing him, went down for the count
when the mad man planted his foot in
the formers stomach and half a dozen
people who sought to pass his cell,
stopped a quantity of saliva with their
faces
Go Into Cell-No.
The insanity commission consisting
of Doctors Frank and Nagler and
Commissioner Cresap, visited the Jail
to determine the mans condition. At
ter hearing the tales of his actions
related by the jailer the commission
decided as follows:
Commissioner Cresap-"I wouldn't
go into that room where he Is for
fifty dollars. He's violently insane"
Doctor Nagler (peeking around the
corridor corner)-'Let's go back into
the sheriff's office. He's crazy"
Doctor Frank well there's
nothing to do here. I wouldn't go in
there with him for $1,000. Violently
insane"
Then as the demented man filled
the Jail with a blood curdling war;
whoop, the commission beat a hasty
retreat into the court house where
each affixed his name to the ''vio-
lently insane verdict.
Ketchner is 46 years of age, is mar
ried and has two children aged IS
and 13 years. He will be removed
