Boy Gets Employers Money.

Newton, Kan, July 1S.-A 14-year-
old youth was successful here in de-
frauding E. NJ Harder, prominent
farmer, out of 500 by cashing scale
tickets. The boy is Martin Bornowski,
whose home is in Newton. He was
hauling wheat from the thresher to
an elevator for Mr.. Harder, when he
asked the elevator people for two of
the scale tickets, saying his employer
wanted a little ready money. It has
been the custom of farmers here to
deposit their elevator or scale tickets
with the banks merely as checks. Be
ing familiar with this custom, the boy
boldly presented his paper to the
banks here, which paid him the
money without question. He then
turned his team loose and started
them home and made his escape. The
officers have been unable to locate
him,

SACRIFICED TO PEACE
Evidence Showing Why the McNa-
maras Pleaded Guilty.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 18.-The
| original agreement between repreSen-
| tatfves of labor and capital in Los An
| geles by which the Mcnamara case
| was to be ended forever was disclosed
| in detail by Fremont Older, editor of
| the San Francisco Bulletin, who took
| the stand for the defense in the brib-
| cry trial of Clarence S. barrow. The
| introduction of this testimony was per-
mitted after much argument on the
| showing of the defense that it would
prove a lack of motive on the part of
barrow for the bribing of Juror
| George N. Lockwood.
The original agreement, as outlined
| by Older, contemplated the pleading
OF guilty by James B. Mcnamara and
the fixing of his punishment at life
Imprisonment. For this the prosecu-
ton not only was to diSnn ISIS all other
| cases growing out of the dynamiting
of the Los Angeles Times building, in
Guiding that of John J. Mcnamara,
but to destroy all evidence then in
possession of the prosecution.
Another clause in the agreement
was to the effect that representatives
of Los Angeles capital were to recog-
nize the labor unions.
The question had arisen, witness
said, of the unwillingness of District
Attorney FTedericks to consent to the
dismissal of the charge against John
J. Mcnamara and it had been agreed
by Mr.. barrow that II the prosecu-
lIOH INSISTED 1t j. also WOu1Q
be thrown to the wolves rather than
continue the trial.
Just before adjournment, Juror NJ.
r. Williams asked the witness:
Did you know at that time that
the McNamaraS were guilty ~
well, 1 had no definite or legal
knowledge that they were, but I as
sumed so,' was the reply.
Summoned to Los Angeles by tele-
gram from barrow and Lincoln Stef-
+ h. agziT vxr-ixA
said that on his arrived here, on Nov
ember % of last year, he was appris-
ed of the plan for a truce between Ia
Dor and capital.
At subsequent conference with
barrow and Steffens, the witness said,
he was shown a memorandum of
agreement by the author. There was
hitch in the plan, according to Old
er, and Harry Chandler, a son-in-law
of General H. G.. Otis, owner of the
Attorney F'redericks to gain the lat
ter's consent to the agreement. After
this conference, Mr.. barrow Informed
Older that Fredericks would not agree
to any plan by which J. J. Mcnamara
could escape punishment.
II contended,'' continued the wit
ness, whose examination was conduct
ed by Darrow, that Mr.. barrow
would be misunderstood by labor if
he agreed to the proposition"
What was my attitude?" asked
Darrow.
well, you declared that you were
employed to save the lives of these
men and that this personal issue
The witness said that at this time
he was told nothing had been said to
the Mcnamara brothers about the
proposed agreement.
Mr.. Darrow asked the prosecution
to produce Bert H. Franklin and John
r. Harrington tOdaV.

JUSTICE DUNBAR
DIES UNEXPECTEDLY
Veteran Jurist Member of State
Court Since 1889LRenom-
mated at Primaries.

Chief Justice R. o. Dunbar Of the
Washington supreme court, the Oldest
member of that body in point of SER
vice, died suddenly from appoplexy
shortly after midnight Thursday morn
ing.
Though he had been ailing for some
time, the Justices death came wholly
unexpected. Awakening at midnight
he complained of being unable to
breathe, lapsed into unconsciousness a
few minutes later and expired in the
arms of his wife.
Chief Justice Dunbar had been a
member of the supreme court since
Washington was admitted to the union
in 1889 and for the last three terms
had served as chief justice. He was
nominated without opposition on the
nonpartisan judiciary ticket at the
statewide primary last week to sue
ceed himself He leaves a wife and
three children Fred, Ruth and John.
The wife and daughter were at his
bedside when he expired.
Justice Dunbar was born in Schuyler
county, ILL.,, April 26, 1S45. He was
educated at Willamette university
teaching two years while pursuing
his studies. In 1867 he moved to
Olympia and commenced the study OF
law at the Office of Hon. ElwoOd Evand
and was admitted to practice before
the territorial supreme court in 1869.
His career as lawyer was marked
by success. He had an extensive prac
tice throughout the state and gained
reputation as successful lawyer
when he was elevated to the bench.

the weekly luncheon of Pierce county
Democrats Wednesday Lister conceded
Blacks nomination and urged those
present to work for the success of the
state ticket. The early returns a week
ago seemed to place Lister as the prob
able nominee, and in fact his nomina-
tion was conceded by several of the
other candidates.
The probability of Judge Blacks
nomination has aroused a question as
to whether he is eligible, under the
contitutional provision which reads:
THE judges of the supreme court
and the judges of the superior court
shall be ineligible to any other office
or public employment than a judicial
office or employment during the term
for which they have been elected"
Some of Listers supporters are urg-
ing that test case be brought to de-
eide this point, which has never been
passed upon by the supreme court.
Bearing on the subject a statement
made in 1904 by Judge Stephen j.
Chadwick of the supreme court, when
his friends were urging him to run
for governor is interesting: mo mat
ter what the decision Of the court
might be, the wording OF the statute
prohibits me from being candidate
and l cannot conscientiously proceed
with it,"
The point was not raised, however,
until Judge Blacks nomination seems
practically certain. He Is now judge
of the SuDeriOr cOurt of CnOhOmiSh
county and his term does not expire
until January. Were he elected gov
ernor he would not take that Office
until January, and so his friends con-
tend he is eligible.

SECOND CROP OF
BERRIES REPORTED
Ripe Strawberries and Blackber
ries Growing-Remarkable
Wheat Yield.

Remarkable second growth crops in
Thurston county are reported by
County Commissioner A. M. Rowe
who in connection with his duties as
commissioner has spent considerable
time recently travelling over the
country.
Mr.. Rowe says he has never seen
such remarkable growth of crops at
this time of the year as this fall
Blackberries are making their second
growth. he says. and in some locali
ties early potatoes are starting to take
root again. Second crops of straw
berries and other berries are also re
ported from different places.
Usually at this time of the year
grass is too short on the prairies for
feeding purposes, but Mr.. Rowe says
there is now wonderful growth. This
will enable the farmers to continue
grazing stock later this fall than
usual.
That wheat can be grown success
fully in Thurston county is evidenced
by the fact that on the farm known as
the Dave Chambers place the average
yield on 80 acres was 35 bushels pei
acre, while some yielded as high as
40 bushels. This would be consider
ed an exceptional crop in wheat grow
ing counties, and the success attained
there is being watched with great in
terest by other farmers of the locality
O. NJ Dunham this week picked
mess of ripe strawberries, second
growth, on his ranch down the bay
He reports that he has a surprising
number of blossoms and green straw
berries, all of the second growth, and
expects to have a good crop If the
weather continues favorable. The
phenomenon of second growth straw
berries is an unusual one in thi:
country and Mr.. Dunham's examples
have aroused great interest in his
locality.
