Rumors of War; and
 Near Battles

Advices are to the effect that rum ors of "war" and linear" battles have been very rife and very numerous for the last week, and outside reports have it that there has been fighting in the city. This can be absolute. y denied. for up to the present, Csnsnea has been quite peaceful and calm.
 I. is known that for the last two weeks there has been q party of rebels in and around the AIo mountains. Early last week two men were found dead in the hills hy rsnchmen, killed by the rebels, having been presumably taken for spies. Their identity is still unknown Some hor.es have been taken from nearby ranches. But this is the extent of the actual news 60 far.
 The city authorities have been CO., operating with the federal command CTS and have taken mary precautions to prevent trouble there, Besides the regular federal force, Mayor Arnold has organized revolution troop of civilians to the number of about 250.
 Col Greene of the Greene Cattle company, has started pstroling his ranges to protect his high bred horses.

Not over ten years ago the brains of Uncle Sam were east of the Mississippi river. and today the biggest lot, if not all, is .acknowledg- ed to be found west of that great stream.

Snaked His Fish.

Col. A. D. Keller, F. E. Arm and
Mr.. Ong went down to Crockett Mon
day to string a bunch OF good ones. In
other words they went fishing, armed
with all the paraphernalia that mod
ern Nimrod could desire, and hove to
along the banks of the ponds about
Crockett. Biting was good, owing to
the fact that early spring mosquitoes
were ripe. A few perch, however, hav-
ing breakfasted early, began to forage
around in strange places for bite or
two and found the bait offered them by
the visitors from the postofiice.
Occasionally one or more were drawn
up, something like the shooting of a
star. on the end of hook. Mr.. 0ng
had scored, Col. Keller scored, but
nothing for Mr.. Arm. This did not
discourage the gentleman from Cork
and he laid to with firmer patience
Score again for Keller and Ong. Not a
sound, not a murmur, in the direction
of the other line Minutes were passing,
skeeters biting, still no fish for the re-
cruit The stiffness had grown intense
and it seemed that there would be no
end to it. But, hist! something doing.
Little Fornie," the gentleman from
Cork, had landed and it was a whop-
per-nearly three inches long. Twice
more on that momentous occasion did
he swipe the atmosphere with wrig-
Cling silverside. TWAS day ofsuccess.
Stringing these fine fellows he left them
for more tempting spot. He was
sitting quietly contemplating fish
fry when some strange sound fell upon
his ear, and looking around black
moccasin, about eight feet in length,
was moving slowly away with the days
catch. A snake, and the ugly creature
was making meal Of the fish. Lit
tie Fornie" saw the snake but he did
not stay to see the finish. Fishing at that
place wasn't good anyway,
Colonel Keller and Mr.. Ong, we I'M
derstand, prepared for big fishfry, but
no fishfry for Little Fornie."

The finding Of the jury in the Alex
ander case last Wednesday has had a
salutary effect. The human pulse beats
regularly again under the safeguard Of
justice impartially administered This
paper entertained slight hope OF the
organization Of another jury But the
jury was found, and it was jury of
our peers. Most of them were young
men, The duty of a juror in a case
like this involves a very grave response
bility. They are sworn to return YER
dict as charged impartially and accord
ing to the law and evidence. The pen
atty is heavy but the crime was great,
and when these young men and their
elders returned a verdict of murder in
the first degree they did so with the
moral courage OF having discharged
their solemn duty as citizens under oath,
conscious at the same time of the extent
and severity of the punishment. The
purpose Of the law is not that men shall
be punished solely for crime, but also
in order that the laws may protect us
in the peaceful pursuits of life and
happiness. 1t is no small matter to
discharge such duty, and these twelve
good men and true will have the en-
dorsement OF every law-abiding citizen.

Case Against Snow Dismissed.

Olympia.-The demurrer of J. M.
Snow, former highway commissioner,
to the complaint charging him with
embezzling $2,142 of state money was
sustained by Judge Mitchell OF the
Thurston County superior court and
the case was dismissed Attorney I.
M. Vance contended ON behalf OF
Snow that the state had no interest
in the money, inasmuch as there was
no law authorizing the highway board
to sell the property of the state or
the highway commissioner to accept
the money, and therefore there could
be no embezzlement Judge Mitchell
took this view of the case.
Snow says that he is willing to pay
the money over as soon as he knows
to whom it belongs. 1t is likely that
the state will take an appeal to the
supreme court, although no announce
ment has as yet been made.
