John Miller of Sheriff's Force Finds

Suffering from melancholia born of
bereavement, William Nepka, a Wa

to bring his life to an end yesterday
afternoon and but for the fortunate
interference of Deputy John Miller,
would have succeeded in his desire
to die upon the grave of his wife.
Nepka was adjudged insane last April
and sent to the Watertown hospital.
Recently he has been out as a trusty
and his movements have been prac-
tically unguarded. He took advan-
tage of his opportunity yesterday and
left the institution. AS soon as his
absence was noted local authorities
were informed to watch for him.
SAVED BY DEPUTY.
1t SO happened that Deputy Miller
was at Chippiannock cemetery in the
afternoon. While there he was star
tied to hear two shots fired. He be-
gan an investigation and found Nep-
ka lying over the grave of his wife,
with the revolver held in one hand
and against his head and whisky bot
tie in the other. The deputy called
to him and then took the gun and
bottle from him and brought him to
the county Jail where he was held

LISTER DEFEATS HAY
FOR GOvERNORSH|P
Result of See-saw Contest for First
Honors on State Ticket In
Doubt for Two Days

The result of the race between
Governor M. E. Hay and Ernest
Lister for the governorship remained
in doubt until this morning. First
returns showed the democratic can
didate to be in the lead, but the
count from Hay territory which
came in yesterday placed the gov
ernor in the lead.
This morning the returns so far
as completed show Lister to be in
the lead by over three thousand with
several large precincts yet to hear
from, which will undoubtedly in
crease his lead. F. L. Watson. who
was in telephone communication
with the governor this morning, re-
ports that Mr.. Hay comedies his
defeat by at least 1000.
Other state officers elected are:
Lieutenant Governor--Louis F.
Hart.

new WAREHOUSE IS
BEING FILLED RAPIDLY
Completion of N. P. Spur Gives Access
to all Rail Lines Out of
kennewick

The Northern Pacific Ry. have
now completed their spur track to
the new community warehouse,
known as the Kennewick Distribut-
ing Co., giving them direct rail
connection with the n. P. and the
S. P. & S. The O-W-R-N. having
had their spur in for some time,
gives the warehouse direct rail
connections with all lines out of
Kennewick.
This will be of special interest to
the merchants and ranchers in and
around Kennewick as it will enable
them to store their potatoes, apples,
merchandise, etc. and reship them
over any line without a carriage
charge. Some of them are taking
advantage of this and are storing
and holding their potatoes, etc., for
higher prices.
The warehouse is being rapidly
filled up with various kinds of
merchandise by several of the coast
jobbers and eastern manufactures,
who are storing merchandise here
for distribution to central Washing
ton points. This will mean that
the merchants here can get their
goods on the day they order them
instead of waiting for them to be
shipped in from the coast. It will
also mean that the Seattle jobbers
can compete with the Portland
jobbers in this territory, to better
advantage, which will be a benefit
to the merchants here.
This shows that our opinion that
Kennewick is going to be distrib-
uting center is not confined to
Kennewick alone, but that it is
rapidly coming to be realized by the
coast jobbers and manufacturers.
