COMPROMISE CANAL DISPUTE
Moore and King County Commis
sioners Agree as to Damages.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 6. Spectal.
The King County Commissioners and a
Chamber of Commerce committee today
reached a basis of compromise for a set
tlement of the controversy between Jamer
A. Moore, who proposes to dig the Lake
Washington canal, and the County Com
missioners. The latter have demanded
that Moore protect the county against
any damages resulting from the lowering
of the lake seven feet, and Moore In turn
demanded a bond for his own protection
from the damage suits. The Chamber of
Commerce then tried to bring the two
interests together, and as a result of to
day's conference It was agreed that the
county should pay $500,000 of the cost of
the canal when completed, but that the
bonds should be held in escrow until the
question of damages is settled.
All damages will be paid out 'of this
bond issue. The details of this compro
mise, when worked out, may make a
slight change, but in the main this de
scribes the agreement that will be sub
mitted next month for ratification by the
voters. A bond issue will follow.

red-hot discussion, decided by a vote of
4 to 3 to relieve City Engineer R. A.
Nicol of further duty on the sewer system

is the result of friction between Engineer
Nicol and Superintendent Crook, of the
Sewer Construction Company.

let entered the left side, ranged down
ward, and, passing .almost through the
body, lodged just under the skin. The
weapon used was a 38-caIiber revolver.
Although suffering intense agony, the
wounded man retained consciousness un
til late in the night, and gave a full ac
count of the dastardly deed, as well as a
description of the two boys who are re
sponsible for his death. It appears that
Powell was cooking his evening meal by a
campflre when he was approached by the
two young ruffians, who began to deride
him and ended by demanding the contents
of the frying pan full of food, which he
had prepared.
Shoots Without Warning.
Upon being . refused, without the least
warning, the smaller of the two boys
whipped out his revolver, and without
provocation committed one of the most
cowardly murders ever perpetrated In
Linn County.
The criminals are described as being
about 14 and 18 years of age, respectively.
The younger, Hugh Saxon by name, wears
a brown suit and cap, with small white
strip. The elder, Thomas Reeves, wears a
blue serge suit with' black cap. He has a
small scar on the back of his left hand,
also one on the Inside of the right thumb.
Sheriff Fisk, of Eugene, is scouring the
country in every direction, and it seems
unlikely that the culprits can make good
their escape.
Powell was 70 years of age, and was a
veteran of the Army of the Potomac,
having fought for the Union at the battle
of Gettysburg. He stated before his death
that he had a brother in Seattle and four
sons and a daughter living in San Fran
cisco, the latter working in a corset fac
tory there.
Suspects Caught at Drain.
Late tonight word was received here
that the Sheriff's posse had captured the
murderers at or near Drain. From the
description of the boys arrested there
seems to be no question that they are the
outlaws sought. It is reported here that
the boys were escaped convicts from the
State Reform School at Chehalls, Wash.
REEVES ADMITS THE CRIME
Says He Shot Powell and Threatens
to Kill Himself.
DRAIN, Or... Aug. . (Special.) The two
young toughs who killed William Powell,
the old umbrella repairer, near Cottage
Grove, were taken into custody here
through the work of Constable Mynatt
about 7:30 o'clock this evening. They evi
dently thought they were too near town,
and were making their way northward
when caught. Sheriff Fisk, of Lane Coun
ty, was hot on their trail and arrived in
town about an hour after the capture.
The boys gave their names as Thomas
Reeves and Hugh Saxon, ages IS and 16
years, respectively. The boys confess
committing the deed, and Reeves, who did
the shooting, declares that he will com
mit suicide. He is constantly guarded by.
Constable Mynatt. They will be taken
to Cottage Grove tomorrow for a prelim
inary hearing.

CHEHALI3, Wash., Aug. 6. (Special.)

Order Bara Oregon Maiden From
Post Because She Left His Em
ploy and Took Position In
Subordinate's Family,
WAT.T.A "WALLA, "Wash., Aug. 6. (Spe
cial.) A tempest in a teapot, but evidently
one that will attract attention in Army
circles everywhere, is raging at Fort
Walla "Walla, serving to relieve the mo
notony for those officers and privates who
were forced to remain at home while the
majority of the four troops are spending
the Summer at the American Lake mili
tary encampment. Eva Beller, a little
country maiden from Freewater, Or., is at
present in the limelight, though It Is prom
ised that other leading characters will
be brought out more prominently a little
later on.
When the regiment left for American
Lake, Colonel Godwin, the commanding
officer, detailed Captain Howard to as
sume command at the fort and take
charge of 30 men. Miss Beller had been
employed as a maid in the family of Cap
tain Howard, but returned to her home
some time ago on account of ill health.
When she recovered she refused to accept
her position with Captain Howard's fam
ily, but secured employment in a similar
capacity in the family of Lieutenant Hoi
comb. Takes Summary Revenge.
Upon learning of this state of affairs.
Captain Howard Issued an order as com
mandant prohibiting the girl from residing
or working at the post, either temporarily
or otherwise.
Lieutenant Holcomb in answer stated
that he would vouch that the character of
the girl was beyond reproach, but all such
talk was foreign to the subject, so far as
Captain Howard was concerned, according
to the story that reached this city today.
In reply Commandant Howard Issued aa
order covering Miss Belter's case that
promises, from all reports to be of great
interest to every Army officer in the coun
try. The order reads:
"Servants in this post will not be al
lowed to shift in this manner from one
employer to another, except with the full
consent of the former employer. Other
wise, disputes and contentions arise which
are disturbing to the peace and harmony
of the garrison, with results which are
prejudicial to good order and military dis
cipline. Orders Girl Dismissed.
"In this case the former employer does
not consent, and the girl has been warned
of that fact. Lieutenant Holcomb will
theerfore cause Miss Beller to leave his
house before 6 P. M. tomorrow, the 6th
Inst., and will notify her that she will not
be permitted to work in the post."
It is also reported that telegrams have
been flying back and forth today between
the officers at American Lake and those
that remained here on duty. Just what
the result will be can only be surmised by
those familiar with Army tactics.
At any rate, the order was obeyed and
the girl has returned to her home at Free-water.
