FLIGHT OF SUSPECT

Cannot Be Found.
HIS WIFE IS UNDER ARREST
States Husband Informed Her He
Wu Taking Their .Three-Days-.
Old -Babe to Family for
... Keeping:.
ABERDEEN,. Wash., June 4. Paul Un
derwood, 'who Is -wanted by the officials
of King County, tcr answer to the charge
oX murdering his .3-days-old babe. Is still
at large. In spite of the vigilant search
that has been made for him today In
every part of this county. The failure of
the local police to .arrest him yesterday
while he was openly on the streets here,
is causing the harshest kind of criticism,
sand will probably lead to an official In
vestigation of the methods that were
pursued. All kinds of rumors have been
In. circulation today as to the whereabouts
of the fugitive, but none of them have re
sulted in his capture.
Mrs. Nellie A. "Underwood, the child
wife, who is also -charged with complicity
in the crime, was taken by Marshal Gra
ham to his residence last night, "where she
remained until this afternoon, when she
was delivered into the custody of Sheriff
Cudlhee, of King County, who arrived on
the train from Seattle to take her back
there tomorrow morning for a hearing.
She professes entire Ignorance of the al
leged crime of her husband, and, though
much wrought up last night when told
why she was apprehended, has been quiet
and composed today. She has made a
statement to her parents that her hus
band told her when he took the child
away Saturday night that he was going
to leave It with some kind people, who
would take good care of it, and they
would reclaim it when they were, settled
In a home again. She said she really be
lieved what her husband had told her,
and knew nothing of the drowning until
confronted with the story of the finding
of the body.
She firmly adheres to this statement,
and all the questions of the officers have
failed to gain any further information
from her. She Is believed by her friends
here, all of whom arc now bitter In their
denunciation of Underwood for his flight.
"Whether the hearing at Seattle will shake
the testimony of Mrs. Underwood remains
to be seen, but the family are so confident
of her innocence that they have not
retained any counsel to defend her as
yet, nor has any attempt been made to
have ball ready for ner if she should bo
committed Tor trial. The most diligent
search will be kept up for Underwood,
and It seems hardly possible that he can
escape from this Immediate section of
the country
C017NCILMAN Q.UITS IN A HUFF.
FcIIott Officials Grant a Saloon L
cenwe, and He Resign.
NORTH YAKIMA, June . An ordin
ance to close the saloons on Sundays and
after midnight on week days came up at
the Council meeting last night, and It
was voted not to pass it to the second
reading. It is generally predicted that
the section will not be passed at the
present time.
In connection with the consideration of
the. ordinance, the matter of granting a
liquor license to F. D. Cook was Drought
ur, and a favorable vote accorded the
petition. This was strongly opposed by
Councilman Sinclair, who, after tho vote,
tendered his resignation, giving as his
reason the granting of the license, at the
same time suggesting to the other mem
bers of the board that by accepting the
resignation they might get a man In his
place whp would please them better. The
vote was against acceptance of the resig
nation, but Mr. Sinclair said he held to
his determination to sever his connection
with the board.

immediately called the attention of a
companion to the tragedy.

BANK WILL PROSECUTE HIM.
Scheme by Which Murder Snspcct
Sccnred $10O at Ashland.
ASHLAND, Or., Juno 4.-The arrest of
a murder suspect at Salem Monday named
Percy McDonald brings to light his crim
inal record In this city. McDonald was in
Ashland last week, and by a bold piece
of work became possessor of $100 during
his brief stay. On Monday, May 26, he
presented himself at the counter of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s Express office, and handed
D. A. Applegate. the agent, a paper
which was a certificate from the Selby
Smelting Company that It had deposited
the sum of J348 87 in the .Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s Bank at San Francisco to the credit
of P. N. McDonald. The bearer was short
of funds, and -wanted $100 on this certifi
cate. Agent Applegate was not satisfied
with the identity of the stranger, so he
told him to communicate with the Sin
Francisco Bank, which he did. On Thurs
day, the 29th, McDonald reappeared with
a letter from the bank, which had in the
meantime forwarded the desired amount
of money to Agent Applegate, who paid
the coin over to the nvan, and he prompt
ly disappeared. Later on the bank com
pared McDonald's signature In his letter
with the one which appeared on Its books,
and a dissimilarity was at once noted and
a .detective put on his track.
The manner in which the man. became
possessed of the certificate was soon re
vealed. He hid been tramping through
the country. nd had been spending a few
days at Igerna, Cai.. where, during his
stay, he called at the postoffice and asked'
for moll, and it happened that the post
master handiid him a letter addressed to
"P. N. McDonald, Trinity Center, Cal.,"
which contained the certificate. He then
came to Ashland, with the result noted.
As soon as it was learned thtt McDonald
had been arrested In Salem, Agent Ap
plegate suspected him of being the man
wanted here, and acting under instruc
tions from the bank in San Francisco, he
went before the Justice of the Peace this'
afternoon and swere out a warrant 'for bs
arresr, constable Long left this evening
for Salem to bring McDonald ti Ashland
for a bearing.

BALLIET CASE TO JURY
JUDGE WILL GIVE HIS INSTRUC
TIONS THIS MORNING.
General Opinion is That the Iowa
Conrt Will Acqnit the Oregon
Mining: Promoter.
DES MOINES, loxva, June 4. The case
of Letson Balllet is in the -hands of the
'Jury. Arguments were completed dt the
nlgnt session tonight. United States At
torney Lewis Miles made the closing ar
gument, which was a scathing arraign
ment of" Balllet's methods in the manage
ment of the White Swan mine. Mr. Miles
also indicated why the Government puts
so much importance on this case. He
Intimated that It was because a large
number of similar cases are to be prose
cuted If conviction Is secured in this case.
In his opening statement Assistant At
torney Stewart referred to claims -which
he-sold were made by Balllet. and which
were ridiculous, as styling himself tho
"Napoleon of finance." the "Cecil Rhodes
of America," etc. Colonel Calahan for
the defendant argued that tha. .White
Swan mine Is a valuable piece of property,
and that though Balllet may have made
mistakes, he was perfectly Justified In
booming the mine. The Baker City Her
ald plant, he said, had been proved to
be worth 530.000, and a paying investment,
and this is owned by the White Swan
Company. Ho said the fact that Balllet
had not been successful so far In putting
the mine on a paying basis was no reason
why he should be charged "with fraud.
Calahan said that the Government fead
failed to prove that the money spent by
Balllet on Geftle Henderson came from
the White Swan Mining Company.
There is a well-founded rumor to the
effect that Chief Postal Inspector Meyer
has stated that Balllet will be made the
defendant in other suits within 30 days
after the close of the present trial.
Judge Munger will complete his Instruc
tions to the jury at 9:30 tomorrow morn
ing. It Is not anticipated that a verdict
will be reached before late tomorrow
evening. There are many opinions among
the various attorneya that have been at
tending the trial, but the general con
clusion peems to be that there will not bo
a conviction. The Government has. failed.
In the minds of many, In technically,
proving Intent to defraud and this is
understood to be vital.
NO PASSENGERS INJURED.
Train Wreck nt Redding: Either
Planned or Switch Bolt FelL Out.

the south-bound Oregon express here this
morning. J. M. White, an engineer, aged
45 years, and R. D. Van Tassell, a fire
man, aged 2S years, were Instantly killed.
The accident was due either to tho ma
licious withdrawing of a switch bolt or
the falling out of a bolt, a defective
switch causing the engine In front to
follow the main track, and the second
locomotive to take the siding, the engines
and tenders being badly wrecked. White
and Van Tassell, on the first locomotive,
were caught under their engine. Both
were badly crushed. The engineer and

OLD PEOPLE
Do not always receive the sympathy and attention -which.
they deserve. Their ailments are regarded as purely
imaginary, or natural and unavoidable at their time of
life. Disease and infirmity should not
ated -with old age. The eye of the gray haired grandsire
may be as bright and the complexion as fair as any of ;
his younger and more vigorous companions.
Good Blood U tho secret ofhmaithy otdmge, for it regulates
-and controls every part of the body, strengthens the nerves, makes the
muscles elastic and supple, the bones strong and the flesh firm; but -when
this life fluid is polluted or poisoned and loses its nutritive, health sustain
ing elements, then there is a rapid decline of the vital powers, resulting
in premature old age and disease. Any derangement of the blood quickly
shows itself in an ulcer, sore, -wart, tumor or some other troublesome
growth upon the body, and rheumatic and neuralgic pains become almost,
constant, accompanied -with poor digestion and "cold extremities.
ailments disappear. S. S. S. is just such a tonic as old people need to
improve a -weak digestion and tone up the Stomach. If there is any heredi
tary taint,' or the remains of some disease contracted in early life, S. S. S.
-will search it out and removcevery vestige of it from the system.
