MORE DETAILS ABOUT MURDER
 ON A HIGHWAY
Horner Says Woman He Killed With Two ChiI- dren Was Too Old
 for Him

The Outside papers bring details of the murder near Kelso. Washing ton of a woman and two children, gently tried and sentenced to life imprisonment at Walla Walla, as fol lows:
 Complete confession of the murder of Mrs. Nellie Bassett and her two children, Ada, 13 years old, and Arza, Il years old, was made shortly be- fore midnight in the King County jail by William Roy HOrner, accord ing to Sheriff Clarke Studebaker and Prosecuting Attorney D. Spaulding of Cowlitz County.
 Horner said, according to the off cers:
 "Yes, I did the killing. She want ed to marry me and 1 refused. We had a quarrel The children were asleep I pulled gun and began to shoot. That's all I care to say now. I did not know what I was doing, was so mad. I didn't remember killing the two children. She was too old for me. She was 37. I am only 31."
 Denied Guilt At First
 Horner was brought to Seattle at 8:15 o'clock last night by Sheriff Claire Ward of Okanogan County. His alleged confessions came after he had sobbingly persisted for several hours in a denial of any knowledge of the killing of Mrs. Bassett and her two children, who were found dead last Sunday night in a tent few feet from the Pacific Highway near Kelso, .Cowlitz County. After Horner had recited his con fesstion to the officers they sent for stenographer to have him repeat it for record
 Horner's First Story Horner's first story, told before his alleged confession was made, was that he, Mrs. Bassett and her two children, who were travelling togeth- CT, had been intercepted by a man named Brown. with whom he said the woman and children drove away m an automobile. In the first story Homer told a long tale of his wan derings after the separation. At midnight Sheriff Stakeholder was undecided when he would leave Seattle with the accused slayer for Kalama, the county seat of Cowlitz. He was visibly disturbed after re turning, from North Bend, where Hor- ner's car was found to receive a telephone message from his deputies at Kalama transmitted through Sher' if Matt Stringer that the people of l Cowlitz had attained belligerent mood toward Horner and that there were open threats against the mans d life. From the county jail office he telephoned his deputies in Kelso and in Kalama to ascertain the extent of the popular indignation. He was assured from both places that il would be safe to return Horner tc that county.
 Gave Her Cash, He Says l The prisoners told the officers tha he. in return, gave Mrs. Bassett s3, 400 in cash, notwithstanding the con sideration named in the instrumen was $4OO0. Sheriff Stringer demand { ed to know where he had obtained that much money calling the man I attention to the poonsscircumstanct in which he and the woman and chil dren lived while they were in the vic inity of Snoqualmie. Horner replied

One of Interest to Our Readers.

when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, even if we hesitated to
believe it at first hearing, we feel Sc
cure in accepting it's truth now. The
following experience of Lexington
man is confirmed after three and a
half years.
Henry C. Hall, grocer, E. Main St.
gave the following statement June
II, 1914: "My back ached all the
time and I felt sore and lame. I
could hardly bend over to wait on
customers. Headaches and dizzy
spells bothered me and my sight was
blurred. My kidneys bothered me a
great deal, too, and the secretions
passed, too often. Finally. l bought
Doan's Kidney Pills at the Sawyer
Drug Co. and they relieved me al
most at once. 1 continued using
Doan's until every symptom of kid
ney trouble left me-"
On February 2, 1918, Mr.. Hall ad-
ded: 81 think as highly of Doan's
Kidney Pills today as l did when I
recommended them nearly four years
ago."

port by Congress of all war measures
looking to the further organization
Of a powerful army and navy to act
in cooperation with our Allies.
Mr.. Cobb, in the event of his elec-
ton, promises to attend to, and look
after, with fairness and impartiality
the interests of each County in the
Seventh Congressional District, as
we'll as the interests of the District
as a whole, and those who are ac-
quainted with his work as public
official know that he can be relied
upon to make an aggressive, pains
stalking and faithful public servant.
Mr.. Cobb who is now forty-one
years of age, was born in Richland
County, and there obtained his pri-
mary education in the rural schools,
afterwards attending the University
of S. C. for short while: He then
taught in the rural districts, follow
ing this line of endeavor for five
years, during which time he pursued
the study of law. under the direction
of Jno. P. Thomas, Jr:, Esq; who is
now Dean of the Law School of the
University. After being admitted
to the Bar in 1900 he worked in the
office of his preceptor until 1902:
when he was elected Judge Of Pro-
bate for Richland County. He filled
that office successfully and without
opposition until 1908, when he was
elected Solicitor Of the Fifth Judicial
Circuit, which Office he still holds,
having been twice reelected without
opposition.
Mr.. Cobb invites the voters, of the
Seventh District to investigate his
standing and his sixteen years of ser
vice asa public official, with the min
utest care and scrutiny, and by that
record he is willing for the yard stick
to be applied in testing his fitness and
merit to represent the Seventh Dis
trict in Congress.
