.S1,312 DAMAGES AGAINST
CHELAN COUNTY'S SHERIFF
Special Italian Deputy Shoots Wild and
Hits Hotel Waitress

The suit against Sheriff Kenyon
which occupied the attention of the
Superior court nearly all last week ter
minated Thursday night in verdict oi
1882 against the sheriff and his
bondsmen.
1t appears that Sheriff Kenyon ap-
pointed an Italion by the name oi
Tony John to arrest Mike Trotto, an
other alien, who escaped from the
asylum where he was confined for max
ing an assault on his wife in crazy
fit. Whether Kenyon was afraid to &c
after the crazy Italian does not appear.
He says he could not find him and he
employed Tony John to make the ar
rest. 1t appears he supplied him with
a pistol and a forestry guard badge,
which the Italian took for regular
sheriff's badge OF office. Tony got
crazy, too, at least he shot at some
thing and the ball went thru door
and hit a waitress by the name Of
Sylvia Cross. Kenyon tried to get out
of responsibility by showing that he
had not given the Italian regular
sheriff's star and only employed him as
a private citizen and never intended to
appoint him as a deputy, and there
fore was not responsible for the injury
to Miss Cross.
The Italian was convicted of third
degree assault. When he fred the
bullet which went thru door and
struck Miss Cross he is supposed to
have been in a state of mental agita-
ton believing Trotto was about to
harm him.
Miss Cross, the complaint says, suf-
fered excruciating pain and was con-
fined TO her bed several weeks, unable
to work as the result of the wound.
She was employed at the Hotel Del
Mundo.

Forestry Office Notes

Forest Supervisor Sylvester says his
office is receiving inquiries from a
number OF parties about timber from
the Wenatchee forest for numbering
purposes, which is another indication
of increasing interest on the part ol
lumber and sawmill men and points to
a revival OF the industry.
Between forty and fifty acres of land
in the Pine creek district, west o
Leavenworth, will be reforested the
coming summer by setting out young
trees. This forest is supplied with
trees from the government nursery il
the Wind river valley, in the Columbis
forest.
The forestry people are experiment.
ing with different varieties OF trees tc
determine what varieties are best adapt
ed to different localities, and also the
difference, if any, between a north Oh
south slope, or an east or west slope.
The soil effect on the growing trees is
also carefully noted.

disaster to the train others followed.
Only a short distance away a large
slide carried away over 400 feet oi
wooden snow shed. Indeed, there
were fifty or more slides. They began
half mile west Of Leavenworth and
followed each other at short intervals
all the way to the summit on the east
side Of the mountains. On the west
side the condition was almost as bad.
The weather conditions could not have
been better to develop slides. On
Thursday night previous to the disaster
fourteen inches of very wet snow fell,
which continued until noon of the
next day, getting constantly warmer,
and then began to rain, and rained all
night. Sunday the sun shone out
bright all day and was followed about
six o'clock with a strong Chinook.
This was followed in the night with a
cold wave so that Monday morning
everything was frozen up again.

Crude Oil in Cascade Orchard
Well

]. H. Stephens, owner of fve-acreE q
orchard tract in the east end of what is
known as the Cascade Orchards, lying 2
on the north side Of the Icicle river,
about two miles southwest of Leaven-,
worth, dug we'll on his place last
week and when he reached depth1of
fourteen feet struck water. He, took
the water to his home and his wife
complained that the water tasted and
smelled of kerosene oil. The follow
ing morning he made an examination
and found a dark looking substance
floating on top OF the water in the
newly dug well. He brought a bottle
OF water to town Monday and exhibited
it at the store of the Leavenworth Mer-
camille Co., where a number OF per-
sons have examined it. On an eighth
OF pint OF water there is floating per-
haps half teaspoonful of dark looking
oily substance. Some of the stuff
placed on a splinter of wood burned
readily. Mr.. E. H. Rothert, who has
been among the oil wells Of Pennsyl-
vania and has visited the oil wells of
Western Washington, does not hesi-
tate in saying that the substance is
crude kerosene OIL He says he in
tends to visit the we'll and will obtain
sample for anilization. He also says
that oil has been found in Washington
in number of places, principally on
the west coast, but so far not in paying
quantities. If the indications are good
and the geological formation is favor
able, he says, it might be worth while
to sink we'll twelve or fifteen hun
dred feet and make a test, as that is
the only known way to determine if it
exists in commercial quantities.

WILL THE BIG MILL RUN?
FEW WEEKS WILL TELL
If It Runs at All 1t Will Run Full BIaSt---
Night and Day

To settle some rumors that have been
floating around since the first OF the
week, reporter for this paper inter
viewed Mr.. Geo. L. Gardner, general
manager Of the Lamb-Davis Lumber
Co.'S. big mill. Mr.. and Mrs. Gardner
returned from Minneapolis last Sunday
after an absence of some two months
The report that has gained currency
is not authentic. The big mill may
run, and likely will, but the matter has
not been definitely settled. Nor has
a date been set when operations will
begin. One thing tho has been settled,
If it begins operations at all it will run
full blast. A few weeks hence the
matter Of its operation will be definitely
and positively determined on.
One thing is well settled. The lum-
Der business is no longer in the dol
drums. Every mill in the country is
making plans to resume operations in
the early spring. The market for
lumber is strong and the prices have
already advanced and are expected to
advance further.
The resumption in the lumber trade
is not wholly due to a foreign demand.
There is a home demand for lumber OF
all kinds. The railroads are buying
freely. Shipyards are using large guam
titles of lumber and expect to use much
more in the near future. The building
trades are looking forward to a general
resumption in building. The demand
for additional cars by the railroads is
also expected to require considerable
lumber. ...-......
AS the lumber industry is the busi-
ness barometer in this state, a general
revival in all lines Of activity is looked
for with the opening OF spring. s

Notes of the Disaster

Peter Sauer was in the smoking car
when the avalanche struck the train.
At first he. thought there had been a
collision. The car began to raise, and
all the passengers rushed to the front
to get out. He looked out of the
window and saw the chair car and din
ing car tumble over. The dining car
turned over once, slid many feet and
then burst into flames. All those es-

The day coach was turned over. II
was a steel car and buried in the snow
until almost invisible. People inside
were talking and screaming. The
workers were unable to get at the win
dows and had to chop their way into
the car. 1t took an hour to reach the
first man. A little boy, Arthur Smith,
was next. He was almost frozen
and his clothes had to be cut from
him, then he was rubbed with snow.
For two hours a woman was heard
screaming before help reached her.
She was cut and bleeding badly and
almost frozen. 1t took six hours to
get all passengers out Of the car.
G. A. Lloyd and Jessie Ferguson
were sitting in the same seat when the
crash came. They embraced each
other and clung tightly together while
the car rolled over the precipice.
They were in that position from 9
o'clock until LIS, when they were
taken out.

At the last meeting of the council
Clerk Brown was instructed to inquire
of Nuzum, Clark & Nuzum whether
they would institute suit against Sea-
man & Quigg and carry it thru the
courts on a contingent fee. The fol-
lowing answer was received:
City Clerk, Leavenworth, Wash,
Dear Sir-Your letter of January 9th
received with reference to the Seaman
& Quigg suit. In view of the position
that the City Attorney takes and of our
remoteness from Wenatchee, where it
would be necessary for US to go, we
would not feel like taking the case on
contingent basis. 1t would entail a
great deal of expense, and then too,
in order to win this suit we ought to
have the CO. operation of your officials
including the city attorney, who is a
very important witness. II his testi-
mony would be in accordance with his
conversation with US and the testimony
Of the engineer who talked with US
would be the same, it would be diff
ferent matter, but we do not care to
get mixed up in sort of family row
in this matter. With the attitude of
your counsel and the turn the thing
has taken, we would not be inclined to
accept the employment except on a
straight fee contract.
Yours very truly,
Nuzum, Clark & Nuzum.
After a short discussion the matter
was laid over until the next meeting.
An ordinance was introduced provid-
ing for fire department to consist Of
chief and ten members. The mayor
appoints the chief, who will select the
ten members. The chief will receive
SIS for each fire he attends and the
balance OF the members will receive 81
and SOC an hour for time put in fight
ing fires. 1t also provides compen-
sation of $3.50 for owner Of the team
that hauls the fire fighting apparatus to
the scene Of the fire.
Sam DAILY was appointed chief with
the the hearty approval of council.
The bootlegging ordinance passed
at the last meeting conAicted in one
OF its sections with the state law and
will come up again at the next meet
ing.
The bond Of Marshall Potter was ap-
proved.
Sam Daily was allowed $50 for his
services which went far toward reliev-
ing the situation during our recent
water shortage.
A motion to adjourn then carried.

ENGINEERS ID WATCH
 RIVER AT FLORENCE
Inhabitants of City Ask Governor for Aid in
 Keeping Back Waters

Alarmed lest the roaring waters of the flooded Gila river assume such proportions IS to seriously menace the low lying parts of the city, a number of the residents of the city of Florence yesterday afternoon sent a telegram to Governor Hunt, asking that he take steps toward protecting the inhabitants of the city from any damage by the flood It was feared that the river would cut q channel south of the bridge and overflow the portions of the city which are adjacent to the river bed. It was thought best to appeal to the state authorities and ask that en- gineers be sent to the city ond make some attempt to stop the progress o1 the river in the direction of the city.
 In response, Governor Hunt wired Superintendent R. B. Sims of the state prison that he had directed Engineer Twitchell to proceed to Florence from Tucson, and render such aid as was deemed necessary. MT. TWitchell will reach the town as soon as possible and give his attention to the situation.
 Engineer T. F. Nichols, from the state engineers office, will also go to Florence as soon as possible, and do what he can toward relieving flood conditions.
