RAISULI

Ii, the notorious bandit died today 1t
is believed he was the victim of a
poison plot Raisul first came into
prominence when he ,.idnaped Ion Per-
dicaris, an American citizen. The Unit
ed States government Immediately dis
patched warships 10 Morocco and de-
manded his release of the sultan. De-
spite the young rulers demands, Rails
uH held out and refused the release, of
Perdicaris until the sultan made him
governor of Tangier province. He con-
tinued as governor until France ana
Spain demanded his Dismissal. He
then fled to the hills and begun a Sc
ries of raids, kidnapping and brigandage
which made him the most feared and
most talked of man in northern Africa
The most dramatic Of his escapades,
however, was the daring kidnapping Of
London newspaper. He was stolen
from his beautiful home on the beach
at Tangier. and a ransom of $4,000 for
his release demanded. For more than a
month he held out, although kept un-
der close guard as a prisoner in Rais-
uli's mountain stronghold. When a head
less corpse was bundled into his room
and he was compelled to live with it
for more than a week, Harris yielded
and paid the ransom.
The last of Raisuli's victims was Sir
Caid Maclean, an English subject, who
was the sutan's military advisor. Bri-
gands released Maclean only when
the British government promised TO
pay the demanded 100000 ransom.

Cain Pulls
For Office

According to adviceS received from
headquarters, the political lineup fof
the distribution of federal patronage
in eastern Washington embraces the
appointment of Judge L. +. Nash. ol
Spokane for United States marshal
and Oscar Cain, of this city, for United
States district attorney. and it is said
Senators Jones and Piles will make
such recommendations.
1t has been known for weeks that a
serious failure to agree on appoint
ments has practically amounted to q
steady deadlock between Jones ana
Piles. The appointment of district at
tornev expired on December II. and at
that time it was expected the successor
tn A G Avery would be announced
before the new year.
Weeks have extended into months
and now comes the information that
nossible solution of the problem may
be found by giving the district attor-
new to Walla Walla and appointing
.Judga /. B. Nash of Spokane, an ap-
plicant for district attorney. to the po-
sition of marshal, leaving Lindsey OUT
entirely.
