Try to Wreck Train.

The train was due here at 1910:
A few minutes before 10 o'clock,
when the train was rounding n curve.
the engineer saw an obstruction
ahead. He stopped as soon as pos
sible but could not before the train
crashed into ties and telegraph poles
placed across the track.
When the train hit 1t was first be-
lieved by the passengers that there
had been collision. However, the
crack Of revolvers acquainted them
with the real cause.
AS the train stopped several pas
sengers alighted to ascertain the
trouble. Their presence drew the fire
of the masked men and there was a
stampede to re-enter the cars.
Carl Anderson, n passenger, who
bravcr than the rest, caught hold of
one of the robbers, was picked up
bodily and thrown over a 800 foot en-
bankment. The mans head, face and
body were badly cut. He was taken
TO a hospital in an unconscious con-
dition.

Tests Out Seattle Product
and Finds Much Merit

"Goddell' is the name OF a variety

the last two days by a number of
North Yakima consumers and which
is, now, as matter of fact being
shipped out from this valley to the
sound markets. The berries seen here
were produced by the Sunny side

having come from Lake Washington,
Seattle, where the berry originated
Apart from being a splendid fruit in
size and shape as well as in flavor
the claim is made for the Goddell
that it will produce, per plant three
or four times as many berries as any
other strawberry grown in this sec
ton or known to the local producer
Its merits as a shipper have not
been thoroughly tested out but suf-
ticient has been learned about it to
prove that it is at least a fair ship
per. The past few days have been
so unusually warm that a test under
such conditions is both severe and
comprehensive. The berries have
withstood it.

TOBACCO IS NEXT
WASHINGTON CROP
Nathan Thayer, Southern Grower,
Sees Ideal Soil and Climate
Near kennewick

KENNEWICK. June 15.-That the
tobacco plantation will one day claim
prominence with the alfalfa fields
ct the Columbia river valley is the
belief of Nathan Thayer, a former
southern tobacco grower. Mr.. Thay-
rr came here this spring from Evans
VILE. Ind, to improve a thirty-five
acre tract on the Highlands, and al
though he is confining his farming
efforts this year to watermelons and
strawberries. he expects to go in for
tobacco next year.
Mr. Thayer Will so to his old home
in Kentucky this fall for the pur-
pose of bringing west number of
negroes who are expert tobacco grow
ers. These will be put TO work next
spring on his tract for the first ex-
pertinent in tobacco growing in this
part of the country.
Mr.. Thayer justifes his argument
that the Columbia river lands are
adapted to the culture of tobacco by
the fact that in clearing his land he
found wild tobacco growing in pro-
fusion among the sagebrush.
Wild tobacco just as good as that
with which Sir Walter Raleigh filled
his first pipe is a native growth here
and | can see no reason why its cul-
tivation cannot be followed with
profit said Mr.. Thayer.
He has also received encourage
ment from horticultural experts who
agree that soil and climate conditions
are such that tobacco would do well
They say the late falls are ideal for
curing the product.

Old Olive Trees

There are few trees that bear ed
ible fruit which are good for more
than a half century, the olive tree
standing alone with its long period
of usefulness to mankind. Some of
these trees are extremely long lived,
says Harpers Weekly. There are
some in Syria which are known to
be more than 400 years old, and not
only are they in flourishing condi-
ton, but they bid fair to bear fruit
for another century or two. The
Syrians have learned much about
caring for trees from Europeans.
Formerly their olive trees were not
expected TO produce fruit oftener
than once in three years, but with
improved methods of culture they
now bear abundantly each season.
In ancient times the olives were
threshed from the trees with sticks.
but now the Syrlans pick them by
maud, thereby preserving their trees
and also improving the quality OF
the fruit.

LEVI FORD
Is Dead-Was Struck on the Head
with Club by Policeman Stevens.

A negro, Levi Ford, aged G. years,
Gied nothe Charity Hospital Tues
day night from the effects of two
blows with a club inflicted by Po-
liceman Stephens. Ford, as report
ed, was drunk, when seen by Police
man Stephens, who ordered him to
go to bed, but on his return the ne
gro was still on the street. An al
tercation of words followed, during
which the negro is said to have re-
sisted arrest and used some vile
words, when the policeman struck
him twice on the head with his club.
Ford was taken to the station and
locked up without having received
attention.
On being found unconscious Tues
day morning he was sent to the hos
pital, and there he died. Ford was
an employe Of the street cleaning
department.
The death of the negro led to ar
inquiry by Acting Coroner Hicks
The verdict of the jury is: "We the
undersigned jurors find that Levi
Ford came to his death at the hands
of Officer H. II. Stephens while re-
sisting arrest of said officer. Signed:
w. M. Ledbetter, w. H. Mourning
j. G. Warren, w. r. Hallon, w. R.
Yeihlord."
At the police station but little is
known of the case. 1t is not known
if Stephens is suspended.
AT the office of the district attor-
Eey there is no information of this
homicide, and therefore no affidavit
has been filed against Stephens.
Perhaps the coroner should have
advised the district attorney or the
sheriff, or he should have himself
filed the affidavit against Stephens
This is singular.
To say the least at this time there
can be offered no justification of the
officer striking the old negro, who
vas intoxicated.
Where did he get his booze?
The only extenuation an officer
can claim for striking violently or
shooting when being resisted by any
one he would arrest is when his life
is in peril.
Neither the policeman's club mol
his pistol is intended for purposes
of violence. Had Stephens called for
help, when being resisted by the old
negro, he could have effected the ar
rest without striking the blows
which have terminated fatally.
The charge against Stephens may
be manslaughter, which is bailable
