CAPTURESESCAPED
CONVICT
Sheriff Ferguson Nabs Fug-
tive From Oregon
Penitentiary.

The sheriff's Office was notified this
morning that an escaped convict
would arrive in Wenatchee on a local
freight train about noon. Just as
number one was pulling in from the
east the freight also arrived. The
brakeman advised Sheriff Ferguson
that he had man locked up in a
box car who had confessed up near
Leavenworth that he had escaped
from the Oregon penitentiary where
he was serving a sentence of fifteen
years for wife murder. The fellow
was beating his way toward Canada.
He has the appearance of being a
of the worst type. Sher-
if Ferguson will communicate at
once with the Oregon authorities and
hold his man pending their instruc-
lions. The ex-convict refused to talk
more than to say othat his name is
John B. King.

DROWN
IN CHE[AN
LAKE
Daughters of o. Werner and
B. G. Van Meter Get
Beyond Depth.

Word was brought to this city this
morning by F. w. Easley and O. A.
Hoag of a double drowning in Lake
Chelan yesterday. The victims were
the fifteen-year-old daughters of o.
Werner and B. G. Van Meter. The
tragedy occurred near the Werner
home, five or six miles up the lake,
where the Van Meter girl was visit
ing. About p. m. the girls left
the house to bath in the lake Little
attention was given them, though
they could be plainly seen from the
mouse. Suddenly it was noticed that
they were struggling in the water and
assistance was soon on the way to
them, but it was too late. They had
walked too far and drowned before
help could reach them. The bodies
were quickly rescued and every effort
made to resusciate them but to no
avail.
The death of the two girls has cast
a pail over Chelan and Lakeside as
both the girls and the parents were
well-knoWn.
Messrs. Easley and Hoag are in the
city today for the purpose of appear
ing before the board of county COM
missioners.

CUTTING
TREES
Darlington Believes Park
Will Be Ruined Unless
Action Is Taken.

District Horticultural Inspector
Darlington was asked by World
reporter this morning for an opinion
about the dilapidated condition of
the city park. He stated tn 1t last
May he made an inspection of the
park in company with Councilman
Thomas and pointed QUIZ that the
large poplar trees should be removed
at once These trees lot only deprive
the roots of more desirable elms
from getting proper nourishment,
but the dense foil age shuts off the
sunlight entirely from the lawn,
which is Responsible for the dying
grass. Unless/fhese poplars are soon
removed Mr. Darlington believes the
elms will die and that the work of
developing park will have to be
started(all over again. 1t seems that
Thomas did not agree with
the Recommendation of the inspec-
tor And considered that it would be
a shame to destroy the shade which
is Afforded by the poplars.

MASCOT BECOMES
A HERO
Baseball Team Short One
Player at Leavenworth.
Substitute Wells.

1t was game fearfully and won
derfully played The Wenatchee
baseball team went to Leavenworth
yesterday and discovered after arriv-
ing that Ross, the left fielder, was
absent as we'll as several other play
ers. In fact, there were just eight
men present. Percy Scheble had
gone down the day before to get a
little fishing. When he learned the
crippled condition of his lineup,
he was in favor of cancelling the
match, but finally listened to the
entreaties of his Leavenworth
friends.
The question then arose whether
to play with only eight men or ap-
peal to the home team for plug
ger" At this point, Percy sighted
the mascot, Glen Wells, all logged
out in his uniform. An inspiration
took possession of the Wenatchee
manager. Glen, will you play in
left field?" The boy never hesitated
for an instant, and the umpire called
play BALI"
Wenatchee was first 10 bat. be-
ing the visitors. Hornet" Perry
somehow managed to get on first
and around to third, when Glen
walked up to the batter's box. With
out the slightest sign of timidity,
the boy calmly looked over Pitcher
Lees offerings and when one came
along that looked good, he slammed
it and brought in the first run of
the day.
This seemed to be a good omen
and proved so up to the sixth inning.
Leavenworth had the bases full, but
there were two outs. A little grOun-
made a bad throw and allowed three
scores to come Al. That was the
beginning of the balloon ascension.
Later in the game, however, Ames
sent out home run that is claim
ed to be tie longest hit ever made
in North Central Washington. 1t
sailed out almost in Decline and
was twenty feet above the fence
when it went outside the lot. The
ball was thrown back into the
grounds by an engineer who picked
it up on the railroad p track. OF
course, it was typical baseball luck
that nobody was on the bases when
Ames hit, whereas in the next inning
the bases were full and two out and
the batter fallend. But it is just
these things that make fans love the
game.
The Wenatchee battery was Brown
and Krumholz. Final score was
to 8, in favor of Leavenworth.

BROUGHT IN LOAD
Of BOOZE
Two Men With Wagon Load
of Beer Arrive to Meet
Arrest.

Several telephone calls came into
the sheriff's office from different
points along the road leading from
Leavenworth down the valley. These
reports were to the effect that two
men were driving along with a wagon
containing four barrels of beer. They
were described as being already quite
intoxicated. Finally word came from
Rev. F. B. Utter, that he had met
tie pair and that they were unable
to drive, so that in passing, their
wagon had hooked wheels with his
own buggy.
Deputy Sheriff Kenyon then asked
officer Nelson to join him and they
drove out of Wenatchee at 400 p. m.
Missing the smugglers who had taken
a side road near Monitor, the two
officers of the law returned, arriving
in town at about 400 a. m. They
vent at once to Lang's Livery and
met the two men just driving up from
the opposite end of the alley. Their
wagon was empty and on being charg-
ed with bringing in more beer than
the law allows, they stoutly denied
the offense, but finally acknowledged
that two barrels sIad been placed up
on Jim Bowers front porch on South
Mission street. Here the beer was
found although Bowers denied all
knowledge of or connection with the
fact.
The smugglers proved to be Fat
ty'' Huff, a former employee of Lang's
Livery and Charles Wilson, a car
penter. When apprehended they were
sorry looking pair. Quite intoxicat-
ed, their clothes and faces were cover
ed with mud 1t seems they startei
from Leavenworth with a dray but at
Burbank's ranch near Cashmere, bad
driving resulted in tipping the wagon
into the ditch which was filled with
running water. Vigorous efforts were
made to rescue the beer, but they had
to leave one of the barrels in the
ditch. 1t was also necessary to bor-
row light wagon with which to COM
plete the journey. Empty whiskey
bottles covered the bottom of this
wagon indicating that considerable
stimulant was required to compensate
for the efforts expended at the cap
sizing of the prairie schooner"
The men were placed under arrest
and are now in custody at the city
jail. The time of their trial has not
been set.

TRIPLE CRIME Of
FIREMAN
San Diego Discharged Fire
Fighter Takes Deadly
Revenge.

San Diego, Calf, Aug. AFTER
killing three persons, including his
wife and child and MORALLY wound
ing the fourth and seriously wound
ing the fifth, Bert S. Durham, dis
charged from the local fire depart
ment, ended a man hunt that began
at one o'clock this morning by shoot
ing himself through the head. He
will die. His victims are Donald F.
Grant. engineer of Company No. 3,
San Diego fire department.; Mrs.
Bert S. Durham and child; Peter

driver of Hose Company No. 3, who
has chance of recovery. The fire

ham and child were beaten to death
while asleep in their room in a down
town lodging house, the murderer
using a steel bar. After killing his
wife and child, Durham vanished
and up to the time he shot himself
had been sought by the police and
citizens.
The motive was revenge, so far
as killing the firemen was concern
ed. but why~he- had killed the wife
and child is a mystery, although
Mrs. Durham feared for her life for
some time. He had planned the
crime with the cunning of maniac.
He turned a false alarm and waited
at the box for the arrival of the
firemen and then began a deadly
fusilade.
Engineer Grant was killed at the
engine drove up at the curb. Samp-
sell and Elliott were similarly shot
and then Durham made his escape

an Office in every market center from
the Atlantic to the Pacific an to cover
the south and southwest and other
districts heretofore neglected, and
provide a safe, dependable outlet for
the production, which is rapidly in
creasing in the Northwest.
The exchange has formulated plans
for the establishment of trade con-
nections in all European markets,
and will Immediately take up the ex-
ploitation of the markets of the ORR
ent, including Hawaii, Russia, China,
Japan, the Philippine islands and
Australia.
