VIM. BYRD'S HORRIBLE deed
NEAR SPOKANE Taught
FOUR DAYS LATER.
With Rifle He Shoots G.. H. Whipple,
John Mansker, Carpenters and G. w.
Meisner, Justice of Peace-Makes
Escape Into Mountains, Following
Example of Outlaw Tracey

Spokane.-Armed with a high-power
repeating rife and plenty of ammuni-
ton, dead shot and determined to
kill rather than be captured, VIM. Byrd,
a desperate murderer, is at large near
the Idaho line and being pursued by
deputy sheriffs, police officers and
posses, more than a score of men.
The murderer, William Byrd, June
near Spokane shot and killed John
Mansker, aged 80, and G. H. Whipple,
aged %, both of Spokane, and fatally
wounded c. w. Meisner, justice of the
peace of Dishman, who joined in the
pursuit.
How 1t Happened.
Stepping from a Vera car, which
stopped at Dishman, which he had
boarded at Spokane Byrd walked few
feet toward building under course of
construction, raised his rife and fred
two shots, both of which struck at G.
H. Whipple, who was working ON the
front of the structure. The wounds
resulted in Whipple's death about an
hour later.
Byrd Immediately turned his rifle to-
ward John Mansker, the contractor,
who was working ON the inside of the
building, and fred three shots, all
taking effect and killing Mansker i'm
mediately.
The murderer then walked nonchal-
antly toward the east without showing
any undue hurry.
Jealousy of Whipple and unrecip-
rocated affection for Mrs. Whipple is
believed to have been the cause for
the first shooting. Byrd is supposed
to have harbored a grudge against
Mansker because the contractor re-
Gently discharged him. Byrd had been
employed on the construction of the
building where the murder took place.
1 A small posse of nearby citizens
$ gathered with such weapons as they
could reach hastily as soon as word
of the double killing was conveyed
about Dishman. When Byrd saw his
pursuers and heard the first inef-
! fectual discharge of their weapons, he
turned and, bringing his rifle to his
t shoulder again, fred his sixth shot. 1t

a six foot alligator. Fhey hoped some
one would want to buy 1t: but no one
did, so it was determined to Kill the
creature. 1t was hauled out of the
tank and tied to a tree Bullets from
small rife or an ordinary twelve bore
gun seemed to only irritate the sau-
rian. and he did not seem to care very
much when a native thrust a spear
down his throat. Finally they were
obliged to get axes and chop of Its
head Even then the tail thrashed
around. and the body was almost cut
to pieces before all movement ceased"

PAY FOR MAIL BY SPACE.
Hitchcock Thinks II Fairer Than the
Weight Plan.

FIItCUVOCR tuInkS Ut r air@r imam 6NG
Weight Plan.
In his next annual report Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock will recommend
some important changes in the mail
service. In the first place. he will
ask to have the system of paying the
railroads for their services changed
from the present system of weight to
one in which the space occupied is the
chief consideration.
The railroads themselves have al
ways contended that the present sys-
tenn Of payment by weight computed
in special districts at special times of
the year was not fair to them. In
those periods the railroads say the gov
eminent simply refrains from ship
ping its supplies and in other ways
reduces the weight of mail as far as
possible. At the same time critics Of
the administration have long contend
ed that the railroads received far more
than they should have for the services
rendered.
"It Is easy enough" said the post
master general, "for the roads to deter
mine the amount of car space required
to transport the mails. and the car
space used furnishes an almost exact
basis upon which to compute the value
Of railway service. 1t really is the
only reasonable way to determine what
is fair to the roads themselves and to
the department, and hope to see con-
gress approve this plan of determining
the pay Of the roads for mail transpor-
tatinn"
