sRYAN URGES WILSON TO our

Chicago, Nov. 4.-William Jennings
Bryan, here today suggested that, as
result of the election, President
Wilson resign Immediately, allowing
Vice-President Marshal to assume
the office.
Marshall, Bryan said, should ap-
point President-elect Harding as sec
retary of state and then also resign
when congress meets in December in
order to allow Harding to start car
rying out his own program.
Tire laws .esulating success sion TO
the president would put Harding in
the presidents chair if the program
was carried out and Marshall re-
signed.
"The people voted against the
Wilson league and for the association
Of nations, endorsed by the Republi-
cans" said Bryan in an exclusive in
terview with the United Press.
at would seem proper, therefore.
that the president accept that YER
dict and aid in carrying it out by re-
signing at once. He surely will find
it no pleasure in combating Re-
publican congress. 1t would also en-
able Vice-President Marshall to be-
come president for a short time. an
honor which he has well earned"

TRIPLE MURDER ATTEMPTED

At Montrose, on November 1st, j.
j. Baker shot and killed James E.
Kelley, and probably fatally wounded
his father, d. M. Kelley, as well as
seriocNly wounding another brother
Daniel Kelly. The trouble was
over business and seems to have been
directly caused by the financial diff
culties of Baker The assailant was
arrested and hustled to Grand juno
tion to avoid the possibility of mob

CHARLES MYERS
lEAvfNWORTh MAN
SHOOTS HIMSELF
HAD BEEN ILL AND DESPOND-
ENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
SECOND SHOT OF REVOLVER
DID THE BUSINESS.

Charles Myers, of Leavenworth,
who had been in poor health for
about five years, shot himself last
Saturday afternoon, Dec. 81, and died
instantly from the last shot.
1t seems that his i'll health had so
affected his mind that he had planned
for some time to do away with him
self. On Saturday, it is reported, he
had induced his mother to give him a
key to trunk, secured revolver and
when his mother left the house, went
out back of shed and shot himself
over the heart. This shot failing to
be fatal at once he then shot himself
through the head, the bullet entering
at the corner of the eye. His brother
and others heard the shots and he
was seen to topple over.
Coroner Templeton was notified of
the matter and deemed it unnecessary
to hold an inquest. The body was
turned over to the Leavenworth Un-
dertaking Co., and burial was made
on Monday, Dec. 30, at p. m., from
the Leavenworth parlors, Rev. Hos
kins preaching the sermon.
Deceased was SO years of age and
is survived by his parents, two broth
ers and one sister, all Of whom, ex-
cepting one brother, who is in Mexico
were present.

SULLIVAN & GRINFR
WAREHOUSES At
MONITOR BURN
MOST DISASTROUS FIRE THAT
HAS EVER OCCURRED IN WEN
ATCHEE APPLE DISTRICT. TO.
tai LOSS, S175,OOO.

Fire broke out in the Sullivan &
Griner warehouse at Monitor about 10
o'clock Saturday night and completely
destroyed this building as we'll as the
adjoining warehouse of the Wenat
chez Produce Co., lying to the west
along the railroad track.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
but when discovered by f. L. Gahring-
er, it seemed to be burning in the vi
cinity of the elevator.
1t was impossible to check the
flames and the fire continued to spread
until beth warehouses were totally
consumed.
The Sullivan & Griner warehouse
was in two parts, one-half being of
brick and tile and the other of frame.
1t was originally built by the Growers
Supply Company. It was 10Ox1OO
feet in size and valued at $4,000.
About 10000 boxes of apples were
stored in the warehouse and were
total loss.
The warehouse of the Wenatchee
Produce company was also built in two
sections, each 50x1OO feet in size. One
section was frame and the other was
Of brick, the building being valued at
between $4,000 and $4,000.
About 10000 boxes of apples were
burned in the Wenatchee Produce COM
pany's warehouse. The estimated
loss Of the Wenatchee Produce com
pany, including the building and con
tents, is about $4,000 and that of the
firm of Sullivan & Griner over S1Oo
900. The loss is about one-half GOV.
cred by insurance.
This is the most disastrous ware
house fire that has ever occurred in
the Wenatchee district. There being
no fire protection available it was al
solutely impossible to do anything to
check the spread of the flames after
they had gained headway.

of cement are used to batch The
minute mix is strictly adhered to.
Concrete is mixed with about S gal

and deposited on the subgrade by

used and excellent results are obtain
ed although paving roller is avail
able and employed wherever excessive
grades are encountered, to safeguard

APPLES FROZEN.

1t is now estimated that million
dollars worth of apples from this dis
trict have been lost by freezing while
cnroute east in boxcars. Shippers, it
it said, cannot collect the loss by
freezing of apples in box cars, so it is
likely that nearly every late shipper
will have some loss.
