Slayer of WenatChee HOmesteader Ar
rested

Tommy Holt was arrested at Bridge
port Monday on the charge of stealing
a coat. When arrested he gave the
name of John Stewart. Because the
man who killed Mrs. Erma Smith was
believed to be coatless he was sus-
pected Of the crime. He finally con-
fessed to the officers that he had killed
her. He is 20 years old and the oldest
son OF Hans Holt, who has lived on
Badger mountain, across the Columbia
river from Wenatchee. When still a
lad Tom Holt was shot in the head by
a playmate with Do caliber rife. The
bullet lodged in the head and was
never extracted. Ever since, young
Holt has been rather queer and unruly.
Young Holt had been working in
Montana since last fall and only recently
returned home. Saturday, the day
before the murder, he drove Mrs.
Smith to Wenatchee where she got
the registered letter from her daughter,
Mrs. Wilson of Evanston, ILL.,, which
contained S25. Mrs. Smith stayed
over night at the Holt home and Sun
day afternoon Tommy Holt took her
home.
After the confession he broke down
and said he did not know why he had
killed the old lady. He said he shot
her. When found, Mrs. Smith had
her skull crushed.

BRICK WAREHOUSE 5Ox1OO
FEET ON EAST FRONT STREET
f. 7. MOtteIer Let Contract This Week to
J.E. GutherIeSS- Work to Begin
at Once.

F. T. Motteler let a contract this
week for a substantial brick warehouse
on the G. N. track on the site of his
present quarters. ]. E. Gutherless
will erect the building. 1t will be Of
brick and concrete, with a basement
and floor on level with car platform.
Mr.. Motteler will remove his stock
this week to the John Bjork building
opposite the depot. Tearing down the
old building will begin at once.
Mr.. Motteler has been in the feed
and fuel business in Leavenworth for
the past eight years and is one Of the
substantial business men OF the town.
1t is quite likely that he will arrange
to handle the shipping business for the
Leavenworth unit of the Northwest
Fruit Growers League, in which event
he will provide frost proof storage for
the apples. The building will be first
class in every respect and so constructed
that if more room is required as the
business grows it can be enlarged.

Forest Fire Bulletin

The statutory forest fire season, dur
ing which permits for slash burning
and other precautions are required,
began June first, with conditions offering
little immediate danger anywhere in
the Pacific northwest, according to
bulletins received by the Western For
estry and Conservation Association,
Portland, Oregon, the clearing house
for all private and public forest protec-
tive agencies. The wet weather has,
however, prevented the usual spring
cleaning up Of logger's and settlers
slashings, thus leaving greater menace
when dangerous weather arrives. Ex-
cept in rare cases, with unusual care
and under permit and supervision, it
will not be safe to burn now before fall
and the winters accumulation will
create serious hazard all summer. For
this reason preparations are being made
for strict enforcement OF all fire laws,
especially those dealing with clearing
and with spark emitting engines.

A Decoration Day Story

This story comes from Shanghai,
China. An English sailor on his way
to the foreigners burial ground to lay
a wreath on the grave Of former COM
rade, met an intelligent looking native
carrying a pot Of rice. Hello John!"
he hailed, where are you going with
that 'ere?" II takee put on glave--
glave OF my fien'," said the Chinaman.
"Hol hol laughed the sailor, and
when do you expect your friend to
come up and eat it?" IAN tim samee
your hiend come up and smellee your
flowers" replied John.

RefOreSting Denuded Lands

Some time since the forestry Office
received 10000 young Douglass fir
and white pine trees which were heeled
in at Merritt. 1t was planned to set
the trees out on Pine creek, above
Merritt, but the lateness Of the season
made this impossible on account Of the
snow which is still several feet deep
on the Pine creek fat The trees have
been transferred to a higher elevation
to prevent growth until such time as
planting will be practical. The plant
ing Of young trees in the Wenatchee
forest at this time is more OF an exper-
ment than otherwise, but if found prac-
tical large areas Of denuded sections
will be reset to trees in the future.

MRS. TOWN AND DAUGHTER
HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Coming Down Beaver Creek John kueIbS
Auto Break Refused to Work and
Ran Away

On Monday afternoon John Kuelbs
took a party Of four women, Mrs. D. c.
Town and daughter Mrs. Adams, Mrs.
Melhorn and Miss Lovel Hendricks,
to the w. w. Burgess place in Beaver
creek valley. On the return trip com
ing down Beaver creek hill Mr.. Kuelbs'
car got beyond his control and the
brake refused to work. The grade in
several places is quite steep and as the
ladies got frightened Mrs. Adams got
out and stood on the foot board, ready
to jump. Her mother Mrs. Town,
who occupied the front seat, attempted
to take hold OF her and prevent her
from jumping. Just at this moment
the car gave lurch and threw her out
She alighted on her head and besides
bruising her face fractured her skull.
Mr.. Kuelbs succeeded in stopping his
car few hundred yards further down
the hill by running it against bank.
Before the car stopped Mrs. Adams in
some way was thrown inside the car
and injured her spine very severely.
A Cashmere man whose name we failed
to learn came along shortly after the
accident and brought the party to
town. Mrs. Town and Mrs. Adams
have both been at the Leavenworth
hospital since. Mrs. Towns injury
is very painful but not considered SER
ious. Mrs. Adams injury is more
serious and may keep her in bed for
some time.

RAILROAD BUILDING PARTY
BACK FROM HEAD OF ICICLE
Found feasible Route -DiStante Is Miles
Rise About $50 foot Per Mile

The party that left here last Friday
morning for the head of the Icicle
river returned Monday afternoon. They
found what Mr.. West, a civil engineer,
considered a perfectly feasible route.
The distance from Leavenworth to
where the mining property is bocated
is in round numbers Is miles, and the
rise, from this point to the mine, from
measurements taken, is found to be
almost 1000 feet, or about $50 feet to
the mile. The party followed the val
ley OF the Icicle river to point where
Jack creek enters the river and found
very little snow, up Jack creek, where
the mining property which it is pro-
posed to tap is located, they encoun-
tered considerable snow and from there
to the mine the trip was made afoot
over the snow which was from three
to four feet deep. From here to the
mouth of Jack creek the trip was made
on horseback, somewhat to the dis
comfort OF those not accustomed to long
trips on horseback. In the party were
Mr.. Van Epps, Mr.. N. P. Nelson,
Mr.. Jas. T. West and Gus Nelson,
who took care of the horses and looked
after the camp comforts of the party.
Messrs. Nelson, West and Van Epps
took the afternoon train Monday for
Seattle, and expect to be back here
within two weeks to make further in
vestigation.
1t is understood that application has
already been made to the forestry de-
partment for right OF way thru the
national forest reserve. After the
route from the Kittitas county side is
investigated survey will be ordered
made on both routes to determine the
relative cost and also which route seems
best suited to the purpose.

Jitney Car SmaShes Show Win
dow

Wednesday afternoon the BleHett
jitney car, driven by Lester Rollins,
ran into a show window at the Ninth
street entrance Of the Mutual Mercan-
tile Co.'S store and smashed plate
glass window. The car was going east
on Front street and turned into Ninth.
Just as the turn was made some
thing went wrong and the driver claims
he could not control the car, at least
his track on the paving showed snake
like curves. The hind wheels were
evidently locked as they dragged for
fully half a block before striking the
window. This shows that the power
was not shut off. Beyond bending the
radius rod the car was not injured.

The high price of cotton this year
will no doubt cause many farmers to
go into the cotton crop more heavily
next year than they should. Indeed,
large numbers of farmers are so
near-sighted as to look only at the
present prices OF the different crops
and do not think that they will have
to prepare for this pest. AS |
mentioned in the article previous to
this, the boil weevi will certainly dis
turb economic conditions for the first
few years. So it is hoped that every
farmer will raise some tobacco, corn,
wheat, oats. bacon. potatoes, cane and
hay, so that there will be at least
something to eat in the home when
the weevil does clean up about 90
per cent of the cotton crop. If we
do not begin now with the hogs,
cows, etc, We cannot hope to buy
these things with SO per cent of
cotton crop. Therefore, | say, let
US begin now to raise hogs, cattle,
eggs, etc, for sale, so that when the
boil weevil gets here we shall have
something to fall back on.
