Athena officials are working on clues which will probably load to the arrest of several boys who reside in Athena. Sometime ago, Uansell & Maloney missed a couple of dozen of high grade pocket knives. A watch was kept and their vigilance was rewarded the other day, when a gentleman was observed with one of tbe same brand. On being asked where he obtained it, he gave the names of a couple of boys, whose names the Pbess, at this time, refrains from men tioning. One of these boys was closely question ed by an officer, and, it is said, broke down and gave some very important clues, which lead to the belief tbat the recent burglaries committed in Athena were done by boys, ranging in age from 12 to 16 years. The matter will be look ed into and no doubt several arrests will follow. , . A Small Fire.

August Roman, a (-Frenchman, about 45 years old, was murdered by some unknown persons, within the city limits, either Monday morning or last night. This morning, when tbe Oregon Rail way & Navigation . passenger train was on its way to Spokane, tbe trainmen saw a man's body on the ground in the rear of the cattle corral of Ennis & Co., near the track in the northern portion of the town. When the train reached Prescott, the information was telegraphed here. Officers went to the place and found Roman's body lying flat on its back. The head was slightly raised against a post. By the left shoulder was a small pistol, and above the center of the fore head was a wound made by the fatal bullet. The man's face and shirt were covered with blood, and the body lay in a pool of blood. The officers removed the body to an undertaker's, and the coroner held an inquest. It was at first supposed the man had committed suicide, but a physician examined the wound and found the bullet had ranged downward and lodged in the base of the brain. No signs of powder marks were found, and the physician stated that, from tbe direc tion the ball took it was impossible the man could have committed the deed himsell. . Roman had r tided in the county several years, and had been in tbe em ploy of several sheepmen. About two weeks ago be came to town, and Satur day morning started to walk to a sheep camp in the Blue mountains, 25 miles distant, where he expected to go to work. That was the last he was seen alive. The ' sheepmen for whom he worked identified tbe pistol as the property of the deceased. The coroner's jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased was mur dered by persons unknown. It is sup posed that when Roman started for tbe mountains he fell into tbe hands of hobos, who, thinking he bad money, took his revolver away from him and murdered him. Thirty delegates of the democratic, populist and free silver conventions, at Ellensburg, left this afternoon. The delegation is strong for fusion, and in favor of the nomination of Lewis for governor and B. L. Sharpstein for su preme judge. The free silver republicans are for Miles C. Moore for state treasurer. I ' T. J. Hedrick, an old time citizen of Walla Walla, died last night, aged 50 years. He was unmarried.
