ZooIooical Puzzle.

italian biologists have a puzzle TO
solve, owing to the discovery on
Mount Blanc of the body Of white
bear, which has been brought to Aosta.
It was thought at first that the bear
must have died some three hundred
years ago, and must have been pre-
served by the ice. since it has always
been held that white bears vanished
from the Alps three centuries ago. But
it has since been demonstrated that
death could only have taken place a
few days previous 10 discovery. At
this would seem to show that there
are still white bears in the Alps. ex-
petitions are to be sent to test the
theory.

PROTESTS AGAINST
ORDINANCE
p. p. HOLCOMB DOES NOT FAVOR
GARDING THE KEEPING OF
TEAMS OFF WENATCHEE AVE.

P. P. Holcomb this morning regis
tered a kick with the Daily World
against the action of the city council
on the intention of keeping teams
from being tied on Wenatchee ave-
nue.. The council has put in two
large hitching racks, one on South
Wenatchee avenue and one on Mis-
sion street, for the purpose of keep
ing teams tied there, and in the
meeting Tuesday night 1t was iecid-
ed to give the rural residents one
months notice and after that date
all teams should be tied outside of
the business district. Mr.. Holcomb
strongly opposes this action and
says that he has seen teams tied on
Second avenue in Seattle, and what
is allowed there surely should be
allowed here. He does not consider
it fair to the outsiders to invite them
into the city to trade and then force
them to tie blocks away from the
business district, and says that he
shall use all his efforts in defeating
this action OF the city council.

CATTLE HUSTLER
CAPTURED
MONTANA CATTLE HUSTLER Is
CAUGHT IN UP.COUNTRY AT
TER 10000 MILE CHASE-HAD
JUMPED $1,000 BAIL.

J. w. Collins, state brand inspect
or of Montana, arrived on yesterday &
boat with a prisoner that he had been
hunting for over a circuit of 10000
miles, from Montana to Texas and
Minnesota. Finally he got on the
track OF his man and caught him at
Pateros
The prisoner is named Bert Boyds,
but is known here under the alias
of Bert Warren. He has been buy
ing cattle and doing business be-
tween the Okanogan and the Sound
during the year just passed and is
well known in the Methow country.
Boyds was first caught year age
last October in Silver Bow county,
Montana, somewhere near Butte. It
is claimed that he is a member of a
large law-breaking clique that in
cludes a number of prominent men,
one at least of whom is in the $780,
900 class. At that time the prison
er's bail was fixed at $1,000 and his
friends succeeded in having his trial
postponed on three different occa-
sions. In fact it looked as though
there would be no trial and Boyd de-
parted for parts unknown. A fourth
attempt was made to bring the case
into court and the prisoner was miss
ing. Inspector Collins then began his
long hunt that terminated day before
yesterday at Pateros.
Inspector Collins thinks that the
Okanogan is a rough country. Such
an opinion from a bad-country man
comes as a surprise to the natives of
this vicinity.

No RURAL CARRIER
SERVICE
MEN ON THREE ROUTES GIVE
UP JOBS ON ACCOUNT OF IN
SUFFICIENT PAY FROM UNCLE
SAM.

Commencing March l the three
carriers on the mail routes leading
out of Wenatchee quit the service of
Uncle Sam. On routes / ana 2, ham
died by j. P Ward and A. L. Miller,
respectively, there has been no mail
carried since the first, but on route
8, handled by Charles J. Weaver.
mail has gone out as usual except
ing Tuesday, when the roads were
very bad. Mr.. Weaver has quit , his
position. but is carrying the mail for
a few days under protest, with the
hope that some other carrier will
volunteer for the service.
The pay for carriers with the size
routes as those leading out of We
natchee is SIS per month. The car
riers are obliged to furnish their
own team and rig and especially in
the west this is considered . very
low salary. A bill was introduced
at this session of congress by Con
gresham Poindexter, providing fol
increasing the pay Of 24-mile routes
to $50 and $3.50 for each mile or q
fraction of a mile.
The department cannot increase
the pay without congressional actor
and this bill, like hundreds OF others
that have been introduced, will take
a great deal Of time to get through
and it is not likely that the present
congress will act on the matter.
In the meantime it is going to BIZ
question to get carriers for these
various routes, and Postmaster HUI
is using every endeavor to induce
men from the country who own theil
own teams to volunteer for this ser
vice. 1t is not considered possible
to get city men to take these jobs
In the meantime patrons of the vari
GUS routes are obliged to get theil
mail In the city Office.

FRAUD
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL IN THE

PURPOSE OF LOOKING INTO
MCONIHIE LAND FILINGS.

o. D. Johnson came in yesterday
morning from Ephrata, where he has
been for the past several weeks on
his land near Moses Lake. The
Ephrata people are taking a great
deal of interest in the government
investigations which are being made
into the McConihie filings. Yester-
day evening the government inspec-
tor went out in company with Attor-
ney o. Sullivan. They were headed
towards Moses Lake. This is the
third official that has been in the
Ephrata country during the past
month. The McConihie holdings
amount to about $1,000 acres of land
and it is alleged there was fraud in
securing this land, and it is the pur-
pose OF the government inspector to
make an investigation.

Mansfield Line Encounters Diff
culties.
The Mansfield train that left We
natchee little before noon yester-
day encountered trouble near McCue,
which is about 25 miles north of
Columbia river. Floods had destroy
ed the bridge across Douglas creek
and also carried away 200 feet Of
track north Of that place, including
the approach to bridge No. 20. A
construction crew was FASTENED to
the place 1t was impossible for the
train to return as scheduled yester-
day.
Bridge at Rock Island Goes Out.
Last night it was reported that
raging floods were destroying the
bridge a quarter of mile east of
Rock Island. This is hundred feet
long, and the destruction delayed
train No. rs so that communication
with Spokane by rail was cut OF and
all passenger trains for the night
were annulled.
Terrific floods were carrying away
the bridge but wrecking and con-
struction trains were fastened from
Columbia River and from Hillyard.
and the train which was clearing the
mudslide two miles east Of Wenat-
chez was also ordered to Rock Is
land. It was hoped that 1t would
be possible to save many OF the tim
bers in the bridge.
The troubles on the Mansfield
branch are multiplying. More
bridges have gone out, and 1t Is
thought that it will be three or four
days before 1t will be possible to get
a train over that line.
