COLFAX, Wash., Nov. 8. (Special.) The Whitman County grand jury . baa finished its work , and. In connec tion with tfie charges brought against Prosecutor Klpp, reports as follows: From investigations we reach no con clusion against the honesty or efficiency of the prosecutor, "fne really important charge against him was In connection with the Sunday closing of the saloons in Palouse City. We found the general impression pre vailing among the saloonkeepers oi that place to be that the Sunday closing law had been enforced against them By tne Prosecuting Attorney becau.e they bad failed to raise a fund to be turned over to the Prosecuting Attorney -to secure an open policy. From testimony we found the facts to be circumstances which will per haps look quite convincing of guilt to Mr. Kipp's critics and as shallow and unim portant to his friends. The grand Jury nas, after due deliberation, reached the conclu sion that the testimony does not warrant any finding against Mr. Klpp. In regard to other cases before us we recommend increased activity on tlie part of the Prosecuting Attorney and Sheriff - In forcing the saloons of the county to conduct their business within the bounds of the law. as to keeping closed on Sunday and selling liquor to minors and recommend .suppres sion of all nickel-ln-the-slot machines pro hibited by law. We believe the new road law unsatisfactory. We believe tne grand Jury system too expensive to be used gen erally for the institution of criminal prose cutions. . , Mr. -Klpp stated: "I have been so' busy with the business of my office that I have paid little attention to my case before the grand jury. I am very much pleased with the sugges tion of the grand Jury that my office and that of the Sheriff sfibuld show in creased activity in the enforcement of the Sunday closing of saloons and the elimination of all slot machines." The Jury was in session two weeks and returned one bill that of a mis demeanor. The cost of the session is estimated at $2000. GIVES LIFE TO SAVE TOW! NOBLE SELF-SACRIFICE .OF A MEXICAN ENGINEER. Hauls Away Train of Burning Dy namite Cars, Knowing Death Will Result. DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 8. The death list as a result of the Nacozarl explosion yesterday is now placed at 14 or 15, all Mexicans, besides John Chlsholm, aged 13, who was riding on the train when the explosion occurred. . A train on the narrow gauge railroad to Pilares mine in some way caught fire. In the train were two open cars loaded with explosives and the fact that the concentrator and a good part of the town of Nacozarl were saved from ruin was due to the bravery of the Mexican engi neer of the train, Jesus Garcia. Realizing that to cut-out the burning cars and escape on the engine would ex pose the town to probable destruction, he called to the rest of the crew to jump and started to run the train away from the town. He had taken It about a half mile when the explosion occurred and he was blown to atoms. It is reported that another member of the crew stayed with him and was killed. . The heavy death list Is due to the fact that the explosion occurred just as the train was passing a section-house in which there . were a number of section men.

CLUBS BREAK EVEN IN ATHLETIC MEET Big Crowd 'Enjoys Events on Mat and in Ring at M. A. A. C. Gymnasium. PORTLAND TIES SEATTLE Ed Johnson, Heavyweight, Defeats Sam Peck, or Sound City Chet Brown Knocks Out Jack Walsh, Local Boxer. Portland and Seattle divided the honors last night at the big interclub boxing and wrestling meet held in the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club's gymnasium. Ed Johnson, Multnomah's heavyweight boxer, was given a de cision over Sam Peck at the end of four rounds. Chet Brown, of the Seattle Athletic Club, knocked out Jack Wash, of the local club, in the first round. In the wrestling matches Ed Frank, Multnomah's crack 125 pound man, threw George Kincaid, of the S. A. C. and L. Johnson, of the visiting club, easily defeated Will Den nis, of Multnomah. The go between Johnson and Peck was the big event of the night. John son was given the decision by Jack Grant, the referee, at the end of the third round. Though Johnson com pletely outclassed his opponent, he was not able to knock his man out in spite of the fact that he dealt 'out a number of straight-arm blows to the face. Johnson hit Peck at will, but his wallops did not seem to touch vital spots, and the Seattle man did not stag ger or grow groggy during the battlp. The decision belonged to Johnson. It was his because of his science and all round skill. The boxing match between Walsh and Brown was of short duration. The men had been in the ring but one min ute and 37 seconds when the Seattle man landed on Wash a straight right to the Jaw, sending the local boy to the floor. This fight was entirely one sided. Walsh did not so much as have a look in for the finish. The blow that Brown landed was one of the cleanest knockouts ever seen in a local fight. Walsh, did not stagger or sink. He simply fell backward, hit his head on the floor, and woke up about live min utes later. Tied In the AV resiling. In the wrestling matches Multnomah and Seattle were tied. Edgar Frank, one of the best men in the 125-pound class, had little trouble In throwing Kincaid, while Dennis proved an easy mark for Johnson. Frank took the first two falls, the first in 56 seconds and the second In 6 minutes and 4 seconds. Johnson threw Dennis In the first bout and obtained a decision in the second, thereby winning the match. Dennis was no match for Johnson. He was beaten In every point of the game, both- in science and strength. About 1500 people were present, many men not members of the club attending. Judge George H. Williams, Governor Chamberlain and District Attorney Man ning occupied seats of honor, while Police Judge Cameron and Sheriff Stevens chose seats with the common mortals. During an intermission, while the mat was being laid for the wrestling matches. Governor Chamberlain, Judge Williams ' and Mr. Manning made short addresses. Nearly every member, of the club was present, and many prominent sporting men of the city were also there. The first event on tire programme was a preliminary boxing match between two club members Leon Hughes and A. R. Parazzarro. Hughes won easily in the flnst round, and would have knocked his oppo nent out had not Referee Grant stopped the battle. The next event was a 180 pound boxing match between two of the club members Guy Ford and Olmar Dranga for the championship of the club. This fight was a draw, though it was thought by the majority of those present that the laurels belonged to Dran ga. The men put up a good, exhibition and both were applauded heartily as they left the ring.

ORDER FROM YOUR NEWSDEALER TODAY. simple hold Frank threw his opponent over on his back in the remarkably short time of 56 seconds. Pending the conclusion of - the match came the first bout of the 158 pound wrestling class. Thejnen came together, and it was nearly two min utes before they. went to the floor, with Johnson on top. From the first it was easy to see that Dennis was no match for the Seattle man. being clearly out classed. Johnson was stronger, more scientific and used his head to better advantage. The men were on the mat exactly six minutes and three seconds, when Johnson threw Dennis over on his back. In this bout Johnson was always on the offensive. Immediately after this came the set ond bout of the match between Frank and Kincaid. The men went to the floor, with the local boy on top. It took Frank three minutes and four seconds to roll the Seattle youth over on hie back. Kincaid was outclassed by Frank, more so than Dennis was by Johnson. There was nothing to It but Frank from start to finish. The next was the second bout of the 158-pound wrestling. In this Dennis showed more form, and Johnson was not able to put him on hia back. The two men struggled' for 15 minutes, and at the end of the bout Herbert Green land, the referee, gave the decision to Johnson, thereby making him winner of the match. -Next was the Bbxing match between Brown and Walsh. When the men stepped into the ring a great many picked the local boy as a winner. Brown appear ing fat and out of condition. One thing must do remembered, and that is that Walsh went into the ring, weighing 140 pounds, while Brown tipped the scales at ira. ina match called for both men at 158, but Multnomah having no man at this weight,- sent in Walsh, 18 pounds under weight. The two met and sparred for a moment, then Brown shot out a right for the face. The blow failed to connect and the men began sparring. Walsh did some clever footwork, and made several passes at Brown, none of which landed. Brown appeared confident, smiling all the time. while the local boy looked weary. The two worked over toward a corner, when suddenly Brown sent out a terrific right, that landed squarely on Walsh's jaw. The local man fell through the ropes, and hit on his head on the floor. He was picked up, unconclous, and carried to his corner. Walsh failed to revive in his chair, and was carried to the dressing- room. The last event was the big match be tween Johnson and Peck. The local man was clearly the aggressor, and had it on his opponent In every department of the game. Johnson hit Peck repeated blows on the face, but none of his wallops seemed to injure the Seattle man. Peck had a low, crouching style of defense. but was not able to block the terrific wallops to his face. The three rounds of this match belonged to the local man. At the end of the third. Referee Grant- gave the decision to Johnson and the big meet was over. The work of both Grant and Herbert Greenland as referees was good, and met with the approval of all present, ex cept in the fight between Dranga and Ford, many thinking that the decision rightfully belonged to Dranga.
