Fined $40 for Grating

Conrad McGill was fined $40 in
magistrates court in Wenatchee Tues
day for exactiDg a fee from travellers
over the Blewett pass the past week.
1t appears according to the evidence
that for a consideration he would pass
travellers thru the block when it should
have been closed. Roadoverseer Par
ish made the complaint against McGill.
Travellers would come along who were
in a hurry and before the block was
closed at the opposite end of the road
he would for fee OF dollar open the

LYMAN SHOTWELL DIED
LAST SUNDAY MORNING
After an Operation at the Hospital for
AppendiGtis-Was Buried in
Cashmere

The sudden and sad passing away
of Lyman Shotwell last Sunday morn
ing at $3.50 after undergoing an oper-
alton for appendicitis, and rallying from
the operation, was a shock to his many
Leavenworth friends. For some time
he had been travelling for a Western
Avenue produce house, Cranston &
Bloxom, and had made this territory
for a number Of years and made friends
OF all he came in contact with. He
arrived here about noon last Thursday
and went to the garage to leave his
car in which he made the small towns
OF the Wenatchee and Okanogan val
ley and complained of being in great
pain. He was taken to the Leaven-
worth hospital and DR.. Judah pro-
nounced his ailment appendicitis. DR..
Gerhart was called from Wenatchee to
assist in the operation which was per
formed Friday. The doctors found
that he was suffering from the disease
in an advanced stage. The operation
however, proved successful and he
seemed to rally from the shock. On
Saturday he was feeling better but Sun
day morning collapsed suddenly and
passed away. Mr.. Shotwell was never
of robust constitution and recently
complained Of not feeling well and
thot he was suffering from pulmonary
trouble. His general run down con-
dition is said to be responsible for his
sudden death.
The remains were taken TO Cashmere
Monday for burial. He was son of
Jake Shotwell and a cousin Of Mrs H.
G. Krollpfeiffer.

suit up to the 120th number had been
received here. Edward H. Peterson,
Of Winton, is the luckiest man in Che
Ian county, having received the third
choice of land in the reservation, which

WASHINGTON PROFESSOR
MAKtS GREAT DISCOVERY
Discovers New Way of Developing Tu-
berCuIar Serum-May Lead to
Important Results

Lacking a specific cure for tubercu-
losis, or a suitable p.ophylactic serum
for combating it, the recognition Of
this disease in its early stages is Of the
utmost Importance. Researches, there
fore, in any manner facilitating the So
luton of this problem are looked upon
as of immense value.
That an important contribution in
this line has been made by Professor
CA. Magoon, Bacteriologist of the
Washington Experiment Station at
Pullman, seems evident from the re-
suits of his work just published in
geneal bulletin No. 1872 Of the Exper-
iment Station. AS a result of these
observations, improved methods of cul-
tivation OF the tubercle bacterium have
been worked out und er such conditions
as seem to give promise for the per
fection of a reliable method for the
early diagnosis Of the disease.
Professor Magoon's bulletin is merely
a preliminary report Of his work which
is being continued along this line, and
while he makes no claim to having
solved the problem, there can be no
doubt that he has made a valuable
contribution in this connection.

Hears Interesting Report from Delegate
to State Federation
Meeting

The club met last Monday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. w. w. Wilder
with eighteen members in attendance.
After short business session was held
and final arrangements were made for
the four numbers Of the lyceum course
which the club expects to bring to
Leavenworth the coming winter, Mrs.
Charles Eckhart, who represented the
Kumtux Club at the Washington State
Federation OF Women's Clubs, recently
held in Everett, made areport, touching
the most important matters discussed
at the state meeting. She stated that
such subjects as literature, music, and
art received consideration and were in
terestinglv discussed from all angles.
Civic, as it touches the home, the well
fare and health Of children, sanitation
and home surroundings, was con-
sidered the one question above all
others that possessed direct and imme-
diate interest for women. 1t touches
her rights, her privileges and her duties
at so many points in the relation OF
life under our government.
Mrs. Eckhart possesses the happy
faculty of rejecting both the serious
and humorous side of such questions
as came up for discussion in the con-

TESHERA SUCCEEDS
POTTER AS MARSHAL
Council Concludes Change Would Be
BenefiCiaI-SaIary Increased
SIS per Month

There being no quorum present on
Tuesday evening an adjourned meet
ing Of council was held Wednesday
evening. Featherstone, Miller Kugel-
man, Seeley, Snyder and Woldenberg.
answered to the roll call. Hale was
the absentee.
Bills were allowed amounting to
$556.30. This includes the salaries
Of the city employees, $402.50.
A bill from Mr.. Barnum for services
in Improvement District No. 4 was
laid over for investigation.
The clerk was authorized to purchase
the small frame building near the dam
from c. Warren Reid for a considera-
ton of $40. It will be used for stor-
ing the bedding and other articles used
in cases of contagious sickness.
The clerk was instructed to write
TO Attorney Miller and request his
presence at the next regular meeting.
The council will consult him with re-
gard to certain warrants which the state
bank request the payment OF.
At this point in the proceedings a
little tilt occurred between Council
man Seeley and Mayor Day. Seeley
claimed the mayor spread a report that
there were two claims against him for
bootlegging and he resented the charge.
The mayor came back by saying that
he had heard from two or three sources
that one OF the councilman was selling
booze and that he (Seeley) was the
one referred to. The matter was then
dropped.
Here the chief of police matter was
again brought up by the mayor, who
furnished additional evidence TO show
Mr.. Potter's lack of ability or desire to
enforce the law. According to the
mayor, John Kuly, an Austrian, told
him that he had been robbed in a
gambling game in Joe Violett's base
ment. He said he complained to
Marshal Potter and that instead Of get
ting assistance he was advised to get
out of town and threatened with arrest.
He also said he told Potter that he had
a key to the basement and suggested
that the place be raided, but the idea
did not seem to appeal to the marshal.
After hearing the mayors story and
and statement from Potter, in which
he admitted most OF the charges, tho
he differed somewhat in the details,
council tnot it was about time to make
a change. A motion was made by
Kugelman and seconded by Snyder to
remove Mr.. Potter from Office. The
vote was as follows: Yea, Feather
stone, Kugelman, Miller and Snyder.
Nay, Seeley. Mr.. Woldenburg was
not present when the vote was taken.
1t was then moved to increase the
salary of the marshal from SIS to $40
per month. The vote stood as follows:
Yea, Featherstone, Kugelman, Seeley,
Snyder. Nay, Miller.
On motion which was carried unani-
mously Joe Teshera was employed to
act as Chief of Police.
Mr.. Geo. L. Gardner, Of the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co., thru Mayor Day
offered the use OF teams for making
fills and repairs on the streets if the
city will furnish the men. The offer
was accepted and vote Of thanks was
extended to Mr.. Gardner.
The meeting was then adjourned.
