Blystone go to the peniten tiary for crimes committed and confessed by John T. Davies, the "backhand artist," or Is Davies attempting to clear Bly stone's slate in the consciousness that he will fare no worse by adding another crime or two to his lengthy list? Even the officers who were instrumental in sending Blystone . to the penitentiary are unable to agree. The issue has been brought up by a recent admission of Davies that he was the forger of a check passed upon a grocer at Union avenue and Morrison street 18 months ago. Davies supported his statement by repeating to the boy who accepted the check portions of the conversation which took place when the check was passed. It was thought at first that Davies, who is a cocaine habitue and unreliable, was attempting to shield Blystone, whom he says he never saw, out of sheer reck lessness. Yesterday, however, the checks which were exhibits against Blystone were submitted to a handwriting expert, together with some of those of Davies, and the expert declared that they were all written by ' the same hand. This leaves room for the supposition that Blystone circulated paper executed by Davies, although Davies insists that he never saw Blystone. Blystone was identified positively by the proprietor of the Cozy Corner saloon, who picked him out of a crowd of five prisoners at the County Jail. He was identified also by. the clerk at the East Morrison-street grocer-. There is said to be a slight resemblance between Bly stone and Davies. Granting that Blystone was innocent of the forgery to which he pleaded guilty, a motive may be found in his desire to es cape being held to answer for similar crimes in Spokane. He had been con victed once in Washington and served a term in the penitentiary at Walla Walla, and he may have calculated his chances of lenient treatment in that state and preferred to take an indeterminate sen tence here, where he had friends.

J " r " C - -v v ' 1 - s f HERDER SHOT DEAD Slayer's Plea of Self-Defense Generally Credited. MAN THOUGHT DANGEROUS Dick Williams, Attacked by Jimmie Leonard, Who Boasts His Prow ess With Deadly Weapons, Overcomes His Assailant. BURNS, Or., July 1. (Special.) In a shooting affray a herder known as Jimmie Leonard was killed by another, Dick Williams, on Steen's mountain, south of Diamond, 75 miles from Burns, early Monday morning. Leonard had lived In this country several years and was reputed a quar relsome, dangerous man, who went armed and proclaimed his readiness, to use his weapons. He was quite an old man, and is said to have accumulated cpnsiderable money and property. After the killing Williams came to Diamond and telephoned to the Sheriff, who went there in his auto, placed Wil liams under arrest and brought him to Burns, but did not put him in Jail, as the facts seemed to make t a case of Justifiable homicide. Leonard, who has been herding for Thomas Turnbull, had several times threatened Williams, who is employed by Dick Smith, and only a short time ago drove him off the mountain, Wil liams requesting Ralph Hutchinson to herd in his place for a time. Leonard went to Williams' camp Monday and, thrusting a revolver in Williams1 face, threatened to kill him, whereupon Wil liams, who was prepared, shot him. After he was shot Leonard tried to work the magazine of his rifle so as to get ready to shoot, but, while so engaged, dropped dead. Justice of the Peace Cawlfield, of Smith, In the absence of the Coroner, held an Inquest, the verdict of which was that the killing was justifiable, and it Is probable that Williams will not be prosecuted. There was one witness to the tragedy, who substantiated Wil liams' story. Leonard's body was brought to Burns for burial. No relatives are known to any person living here. CODE MAY.

SALARY WARRANT IS TOPIC Tacoma's Executive Accuses Fellow Member of City Government of Attempt to Show Favorit ism to His Friends. TACOMA. Wash., July 1. (Special.) "It's a plain case of graft, you are crooked," said Mayor Fawcett to Com missioner of Finance Freland this morning, at the Municipal Commission session. "If you make any more accusations like that you will have to prove It," said Freeland, who had nearly lost con trol of his voice by this time. "I don't have to prove it; it Is right here," retorted the Mayor, clapping his hand on a salary warrant, which lay on the desk. "When you get through with your four-flushing, you will do better by the city," said Freeland. Although breaks have occurred be fore between the commissioners, this was the first time that differences were punctuated with serious charges. All this trouble was over the salary war rant of a stenograhpre. Miss Helen E. Under the Link administration, she was classed as a stenographer in the City Attorney's office at $75 a month. Her desk was in the outer office of Mayor Link, and when Fawcett suc ceeded Link Miss Mellott remained with the city in the Mayor's office. In the new salary ordinance the sal ary of a private secretary, was fixed at $75 a month, and that of the sec ond stenographer was reduced to $60 a month. In making up the payroll for June, Commissioner of Finance Freeland di rected the Controller to draw a war rant for $75 for Miss Mellott, as pri vate secretary to the Mayor. When the warrant was brought to the Mayor to sign he was up 1 narms. and the warrant was cut to $60. The Mayor and Freeland are no more on speak ing terms, as the Mayor is already at war with Commissioner Roys of the Department of Public Safety. Tacoma's five-man government Is correspondingly disrupted.

It promises to provide a five-cent fare. , Besides building a railroad, the company has already built and had In operation - for two months a hotel, which has been so satisfactory that It has turned away 50 people. The estimated cost of the road is $123,374 and this estimate is not con sidered conservative. Together with cars an outlay of over $140,000 will be required. The road has been promoted largely by Cleveland, O., men, who have gone to Coos Bay and may locate there. The road is capitalized at $1,000,000. but 10 per cent of the par value of the shares being called for, the balance being left for future building opera tions.

Will you kindly let me know which ocean (Atlantic or Pacific) is the roughest? Which has the most dis ars? Also whether the T. J. Potter was built In the East and towed around the Horn? Also If such a thing is possible for a boat of her build to make that trip. H. C. W. In answer to your first question, it would be proper to ask, which is more destructive, fire or water? Parts of the Pacific Ocean are less rough than any part of the Atlantic; for example, the stretch between San Francisco and Honolulu. But down In Oriental wa ters, the China Sea, for example, they have typhoons that make Atlantic storms look like zephyrs. There are more disasters on the At lantic because there is more shipping, and because fogs are more prevalent. The T. J. Potter was built In Portland. Her house and engines were originally a part of the steamer Wide West, built about 33 years ago. If securely sponsoned and otherwise protected, a steamer like the Potter might make the voyage around the Horn, but it would be a dangerous, not to say foolhardy, proposition.

Todd's Duckey reall, won the contest, but as the Commodore could not win his own flag, the race went to the second boat, which was the Kitten. When the boats lined up at Lew Woodward's- place at the foot of Ellsworth street, before the start. Dodge drew the windward position with d'Arcy next in order, followed by Hazlett and Todd, skippers of the other dlngheys. The race waxed merrily on the down-stream leg when Todd, after rounding the buoy, in. the Duckey, outdistanced the others until his craft lost its rudder. Then he steered with an oar but lost that too. He was compelled to haul in his splnaker and use the pole for a rudder while he re covered the Sweep. In the meantime Dodge passed the Commodore's boat, but by clever maneuvering the Duckey got across the line a boat length ahead. D'Arcy, in the Bull Pup, broke his boom and was out of the running. Haz lett's Celt was a poor fourth. Matfrli pays h' generals 20 cents a day In 15-to-l paper money, or 1.6 cents la ffold; ) fsr ii . -v RHEUMATISM A. C. SHELDON, General Agent C. B. & Q.
