DRAWS HUGE CROWD
Patterson Case Attracts Crowd Of
Friends and NeighbOrs Who Hear
Defendant Charged With Assault.

No other case which has been heard
session has attracted so much notice
as did the case of the State VS.. Ralph
Patterson which was on trial today
The court room was packed all day and
there was scarcely standing room to be
found when the testimony was COM
pleted this afternoon and the respec-
tive counsel opened their pleas.
The parties involved in the case are
prominent farmers of the Aver station
section and are both well known
throughout the entire Palouse coun-
try. The complaining witness is Bert
Ayers, upon whom Patterson is al
legged to have made the assault with
which he is charged. 1t appeared in
the course of the trial today that
previous to the alleged assault Patter-
son and Ayers had been having no lit
tie trouble over bunch of the for
mer's hogs which had been allowed to
run at will in the neighborhood. A few
days prior to the commission of the
crime with which Patterson is charg-
ed, his hogs had been locked up by
Ayers and were being held until a set
tlement should be made for the dam
ages which they had done on the Aver
farm.
1t was when Patterson called upon
his neighbor and requested that his |
swine be released that the alleged |
crime was committed. The testimony
If the witnesses who witnessed the al
eyed assault was somewhat contra
lictory though it appears that Patter-
son at a certain stage of the con-
roversy flourished revolver either
or the purpose of protecting himself '
# as a further means of gaining the {
elease of his hogs.
At late hour this afternoon the trial
ad not been concluded though it

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-In full

ships in the harb0r besides thousands
of residents, Tampico federals and reb-
els alike were hanged as prisoners OF
war. Admiral Fletcher sent an officer
ashore with vain protest in the name
of humanity and then notified WASH
intgon by wireless Of what had hap
pened.
That the Tampico situation looked
serious was admitted in administration
circles today Rumors are current,
though unconfirmed, that foreigners in
Tampico were wounded during the
two days fighting. This, it is guessed,
accounted for Admiral Fletchers sud
den Intervention and demand for sus-
pension of the battle until foreigners
are taken off. The belief is growing
that it will be necessary to land Am
erican marines.
