themselves rs favorable to celebrat-
ing the fourth this year since no ccle-
hration was held last year. Others

ly agreeing to take the matter up
again at monthly meeting of the clue

gomery IS chairman will make an in
formal canvass among merchants and
.
sentiments upon the subject
The Baker commercial club has for
warded a claim in connection with
the fund that was used for defrayinc
the expenses of the initiative argu-
ment for the branch asylum bill. 1t

Baker Union and Pendleton to share
equally in the expense but since PEN
dleton has landed the institution it is
intimated this city should pay the
entire account. BY action of the board
today the club pays its pro rata por-
tiOn of the expense and the matter
of making the complete payment is
referred to the committee on public
policy, of which w. L. Thompson is
chairman, for a recommendation.
c. A. Hill explained to the manag-
ers a plan for Columbia basin de-

yesterday afternoon and there were
but few pieces left in the back room.
Had the front room been raided. the
burglars could have had their pick of
large number of suits and other ar
ti,lcs of clothing.
Mr. Sullivan stated this morning
that the three pairs of trousers and
the two coats are the only articles
which he has missed. but that il is
possible that more has been taken.
The pongee coat was a handsome and
an expensive one and is the greatest
loss, although the other articles were
practically new. Mr.. Sullivan states
that he will replace the stolen articles
or reimburse the owners for their loss
SO that his customers will not suf-
fer.
Ralph Coon the we'll known clerk
In the Alexander grocery department,
heard of his loss early this morning
and rushed madly to the looted shop
where Mr.. sullivan confirmed the re-
port And now "Coonie" is lament
ing long and loudly for he declares he
will have to go to Milton to the ball
game Sunday in a rain barrel.

The man dashed across Main street
and up the stairway in the Taylor
Hardware building sheer, following
him, encountered officer E. D.
Stansberry on his way home, and the
two pursued the man up the stairs.
Here they lighted matches. but the
tiny flames failed to reveal anyone
lurking in the shadows of the halls.
Leaving Sheer on guard, Stansberry
hastened to the city hall and soon re-
TUNED with a searchlight but no bur
siar could be found 10y its rays II
was finally discovered that the man
had gone out q window and made his
way down the fire escape.
An examination Of the rear Of the
stores showed that the would-be bur
g,av had been making good progress
at his work. With a sharp iron bar
he had made hole in the earth clear
through TO the cellar and a few more
strokes would have enabled him to
make an entrance sufficiently large
to admit his body.
The Schaefer store seems to be es-
pecially marked by thieves as it has
only been a few weeks sine Ivan
Ringdahl smashed the plate glass
window and stole some jewelry for
which deed he is now serving a two
year sentence in the penitentiary.

JAHNS WAS HANGED
TODAY At SUNRISE

Wala Walla, Wash, April Ell
with the execution of Frederick Will
liam Jahns. alias James f. Logan
at the state ponitentiary at sunrise
tbs morning, the perpetrator of one
of the most sensational crimes ever
committed in this state received his
just reward.
Jahus was convicted of killing his
German housekeepcr, and afterwards
burning the body in funeral pyre
OF pitch pine logs, at. midnight on
lonely deserted mountain ranch near
Bissoll, october 20, 1909. The crime
WIS almost identical with that of
Bud" Barnes in this county, and the
entire country around Bissell was
thrown into intense excitement. The
evidence was almost all circumstan-
tial but proved without a shadow of
doubt that Jahns was the guilty per-
SON. He is also suspected of having
killed two other men, although this
may never be known, unless the man
usyript which he is said to have writ
ten while in the Stevens county Jail,
will give the details. The manuscript
was written in a nameless hand, and
Jahns said that while no one could
decipher the writing, yet he will leave
key among his belongings in case
he should hang. Whether his story
will contain a confession of his crime
remains to be seen if the papers can
ever be read.
