HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.

The graduating exercises of
the Harvey County High School
were held at Locher's hall last
evening. The building was filled
with the friends and relatives Of
the class and the exercises were
very. good, .indeed, each partici-
pant being warmly applauded.
The high school is growing in
number Of pupils and popularity
each year and has become one of
the best educational institutions
in the state and one in which the
patrons and taxpayers take pride.
The class of IL just graduated is
the largest in the history Of the
school and comprised six girls
and six boys. They were: Eula
McKinnon, Nina Baker, Emma
Johnson, Lenore Sizemore, Nina
Wiseman, Bessie Swain, Merle
Bennett, Ralph Irving, Gus Bard
well, Waldo Geer, Sherman Smith,
Chester Mace.
DR.. w. l.. Marsden made the
class address and caused most
favorable comment. The Doctor
did not speak from notes but gave
an extemporaneous address of
high class that did him great
credit. 1t was one of the best
we have ever heard,
G, II. Leonard was called upon
at the last moment to present
the diplomas. Mr.. Leonard ad-
dressed the class briefly but what
he said was exceptionally good
and much appreciated by the
class and all present.
The Times-Herald will not
make individual comment upon
the members of the class. Each |
number was well performed and |
the people of Harney county are
proud of the young ladies and

Big Haul in Horses.

Four of the farmers southwest
of town are at a loss to know
what has become of their bunch
of horses. These are Messrs.
Hess, kamm, Englander, and
Patch, whose stock. l6 head in
all, had until Sunday night been
grazing their range some four
miles southwest of town. The
next morning these were gone.
Later one animal, a scrub pony,
the only animal of little value
was discovered alone, some dis
tance away from the range, as
if cunning hands had cut it out
of the bunch for it is well
known that the instinct # horses
keeps them together unless they
are forcibly stampeded off. This
looks like a big haul, and as since
Sunday the most persistent
search has given the owners no
clue. fears are entertained that
they have gotten into the hands
of an expert bunch of rustlers.

Wanted Some Easy Money.

Tuesday c. N. Cooper was
around with blood in his eve. "
Gus Hadel had brought in word
that one of his haystacks had
suddenly shown signs of con-
sumption: that cel tain telltale
wagon tracks had divulged that
two loads had recently been
taken away. one load being on a
narrow tire and one on a wide
tire wagon, the trail heading to
ward S'owers. And, sure
enough, pretty soon along come
from the latter direction two
loads Of hay, befitting the alleg-
ations drawn in the case.
ShreNdly the admission was
drawn from the parties bringing
in the loads, that the hay had
been taken from the stack of
one Of them. located on his own
yard, and then in no time an
auto was despatched up to see if
the facts would tally. Ho yever,
before the messenger returned,
Mr.. Cooper had succeeded in get
ting confession from the parties.
More than that, affidavits were
secured, duplicating another
person, who left the country last
! October for new scenes of act
ivity, in the theft of some $50
worth of hay which had telonged
to Sheets & Corcoran. This
latter aggravatlng steal had
been the subject of vain seeking
for some time, and now an effort
will be made to bring the culprit
il question back here to stand
trail.

Experiment with Second
Class u. S. Mail.
tNational New. Association)

NNa1icndi news ASSocl2t1onl
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. L.
The post office department today be-
gins an experiment which is regarded
as one of the most important steps
yet taken by Postmaster General
Hitchcock in his plans to reduce the
expense of the service and thereby
pave the way, so II is believed, for the
ultimate adoption of penny postage.
The plan inaugurated today pro-
vides that the greater part OF the sec
ond class mail matter consisting OF
magazines and periodicals. heretofore
|, transported in railway mail cars. will
be carried by fast freight. The pub
fishers are TO be permitted to print
on the wrapper OF each copy or bun
die of their publications. as part of
the address, instructions as to the
date on which delivery is to be made.
In accordance with this arrangement
postmasters have been directed to
carry ont the instructions with re-
spect to the delivery of fast mail
freight. Mr.. Hitchcock believes that
the new system will be found salts
factory to the publishers and the pub
lie alike. while the expense to the gov
| eminent will be far less than hereto
fore.

DELEGATES SENT
TO THE MEETING
Of Postal Clerks and Mail
Carriers by the Local
Post Office.

The inconvenience which some of
the citizens have experienced in the
past few months as a result of the in
correct marking on the mail collec-
ton boxes. will soon be relieved by
the local postal authorities. Some
time ago the hours of collecting the
mail were changed, but no notice OF
the change was posted on the boxes.
Postmaster Haas put in a request for
some new cards, but the order was
not filled until yesterday. Temporary
cards made of heavy pasteboard will
be put on all the collection boxes at
once, giving the hours of collection as
last corrected. In short time these
will be supplanted by permanent signs
of heavy metal, as soon as the govern
ment can forward them.
l.. G. Niewoehner, of the Richmond
post office. has been chosen as the 10
cal representative at the national con
vention of Post Office clerks, which
meets soon in Florida. MIR. Niewoeh
ner leaves tonight for the meeting, and
will be absent for several days. Some
important matters are expected tc
come up at the convention.
The principal work of the meeting
will be the adoption of a resolution
requesting the government to gran
| the post office clerks a forty-eigh
hour working week. The letter car
riers have been benefited in this way
but the clerks are expected to worl
until their duties are finished. The.
believe that it is unfair for them t
have to work longer than the lette
carriers, and they hope their resolu
ton will decide the government t
grant them the shorter hours.
Harry Young has gone to Rochester
N. Y, as the local delegate to the ar
nual convention of letter carriers, nov
in session in that city. While thi
meeting is not as important this yea
as the clerks meeting, several genera
questions of interest to the carrier
will be discussed.

TRUNK MURDERER
TO Be EXECUTED
Only Thing Which Will Save
Jesse Ward Is Action
by Governor.
tNational News Association


PORTLAND, Ore, Sept 1.-Jesse
P. Webb, the principal in the so-called
trunk" murder which stirred this sec
ton of the country a year ago, will
be executed at the state prison early
in the coming week unless his SEN
tence is committed by Governor West.
Webb has had two trials and an APP
peal for a third trial was denied by
the supreme court. Governor West,
after a careful review of the case. an
nounced that he saw nothing that
would warrant his interference with
the sentence of the court. Conse-
quently, there is believed to be little
or no chance for Webb to escape the
gallows.
Webb was convicted of killing Will
liam A. Johnson in the New Grand
Central hotel in this city year ago
last June. The victim was shot and
then beaten to death with blackjack
and his body stuffed into a trunk.
The murdered man had arrived at the
hotel from Spokane a day or two be-
fore the crime, in company with Webb
and Mrs. Carrie Kersh, who subse
quently was proved to be Webb's para
mour.
Johnson had about 81 300 in his pos
session and it was to obtain this that
the murder was committed. The evi
dence at the trial showed that after
killing Johnson the body was stuffed
into a trunk, the murderer being as
sisted by the Kersh woman. The
trunk was sent from the hotel to the
railroad station for shipment to al
interior point. At the station one O.
the employees noticed pool of bloot
which had trickled from the trunk ant
this led to the discovery of the crime
On the same day Webb and Mrs
Hersh wer etaken into custody al
they were returning from an automo
bile trip to a suburban resort. o.
Webb's person was found two watch
es, one of which was identified a
Johnson's, and two handkerchiefs
both blood-stained. On Mrs. Kersl
was found most of the money takel
from the victim. The subsequent trial
showed that Johnson's death was plan
ned by the couple with the object Q
robbery, Mrs. Kersh being the lure
The trial of Webb resulted in his cor
viction of murder in the first degree
The woman was found guilty of mar
slaughter and sentenced to fiftee
years in the penitentiary.
