airy stock. He traces his lineage direct
to General Joseph Warren whose name
was immortalized in American history
when he was killed at the Battle of
Bunker Hill because he stubbOrnly re-
fused to retreat. His father was born
in North Carolina, his mother in West
Virginia, while the candidate himself
is native Of Missouri.
The history of Mr.. Warren's life is
closely allied with events in the In
land Empire and later in the far north
beginning in 1865, when he arrived at
Walla Walla with his parents, a mere
child, having made the journey by OK
;eam and prairie schooner across the
plains. After receiving his schooling
at Walla Walla the family moved to
a farm some twenty miles from the
present site Of Spokane. It was here
that Mr.. Warren first received motor.
iety for police work.
Bill Jackson a notorious half-breed
Indian, murdered three men while
peace officers were attempting to take
him, and young Warren being we'll
schooled in Indian methods, took up
the chase trailing him for eight days
and then capturing him single handed.
The capture of Jackon attracted so
much attention at Spokane that War
rem was offered the position of police
officer for the town and on March 25,
1884, was sworn in as the first peace
officer Of that city, In 1887 he was
elected chief of police Of that city and
was reelected for five succeeding terms
until in the latter part of 1900 he left
for the gold fields Of the north to be-
come captain Of police at Nome. After
serving on the force there for two
years he entered the United States
Marshal's office and became extradi-

capacity for eight years.
During the Panama Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition in 1915, he accepted
position on the plain clothes force
guarding visitors from crooks that
thronged the exposition city. At the
close of the exposition he returned to
Seattle to look after property interests
here.
In 1917, when the army authorities
placed the ban on Seattle, Mr.. Warren
