MUNIS KILLED
IN SHJUH BATTLE
Fatality Attends Red Men's
Celebration at Seattle
Exposition.
PAPER WAD ENTERS BODY
Stat Guardsmen and Red Men Par
ticipate In Mimic Wild West
Stage Hold-Up Victim Is
Joseph Mornlngway.
SEATTLE. July :2. During a sham
battle in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex
position stadium late this afternoon be
tween 100 members of the Improved
Order of Red Men and an equal number
of state militiamen. Joseph Mornlngway,
nf 1SU Whetmore avenue, Everett.
"Wash... one of the Red Men. was shot
and almost instantly killed.
In the imitation battle, -which was
part of the festivities of Red Men's day
at the fair, the Rod Men, made up as
Indians, were to ambush and attack a
stage coach, which was to be rescued
bv soldiers in the approved style of
ail Wild West shows.
Victim Falls Bleeding.
All the combatants in today's mimic
struggle were under the direction of
Major Otto Case, of the Washington
National Ouard. of this city, who had
cautioned them to take the utmost care
in the matter of using only blank cart
ridges. In the height of the battle
Jlornlnrway. who was between the
wheels of the waylaid coach, was seen
to fall, bleeding from a wound in the
lower left abdomen.
The firing was suspended, the in
jured man was hurried to the Fair
Hospital, and four of the principal sur
geons of the city were called to attend
him. On examination they said the
wound was mortal, and he died in about
two hours. y
Paper Wad Enters Body.
After a careful examination the at
tending physician said that Mornlngway
had not been shot by a ball cartridge,
but that the wax paper wad of a blank
had penetrated his abdomen and ex
ploded after entering. These wads are
shaped like steel bullets and are filled
with" powder to explode them as soon as
they leave the muzzle of the rifle. In or
der to prevent them being carried far.
They are considered dangerous within
tn feet. From the powder marks upon
Momlngway's body it Is believed that he
must have been within three or four feet
of the muzzle of the rifle when it was
fired.
It Is probable that an investigation will
be ordered, to ascertain upon what au
thority the militiamen were ordered to
participate In the mimic battle and use
state weapons and ammunition.
FARMER FINDS GOLD MINE
Free-Milling Ore In Clark County
Rdm $37.50 to Ton.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. July 22. (Spe
cial.) A gold mine has been discovered
by Charles Smith on his ranch a mile
and a naif from La Center, in Clark
County, near the Lewis River.
Ore taken from different places on the
farm has assayed on the average J37.50
In gold and 14 ouncea of silver to the ton.
It Is free milling ore and though there
has been little or no mining done as yet.
It Is known that there Is a big ledge, and
the indications are that the property
will turn out to be valuable. Mr. Smith
owns a ranch of 80 acres that he bought
Just about a year ago. The assaying of
the ore was done in Portland.
FIRE SMOLDERS IN COAL
Flames Have Been Devouring O. R,
& X. Bunkers Since Sunday.
LA GRAND EL Or.. July 2 (Special.)
Fire has been smoldering in the O. R. &
N. coal bunkers here since Sunday morn,
lng, and it is estimated that over 1000 tons
of fuel have already been consumed. Forty
men have been at work fighting the
blaze, but. owing to the great mass of
coal above the fire, have eo far been un
able to extinguish It.
There are 3.0'10 tons of coal in the
bunker, valued at J140.. and fear Is ex
pressed that the major portion of the coal
may be burned before the fire Is under
control. Special flre-flghtlng crews have
been ordered here from other stations.

BAD-CHECK ARTIST WORKS HIS
GAME IN' THE DALLES.
Stealing Blanks From Printing Of
fice, Man TTses Rubber Stamp
to Make Signature.
THE DALLES. Or.. July 22. (Special.)
Nine saloonkeepers of this city are to
day mourning the loss of nearly 18 each
given to a stranger last night in exchange
for worthless checks, drawn on the Chron
icle Publishing Company and bearing the
forged signature of H. G. Miller, the manager.
The stranger would buy a anna, in
dorse one of the checks, receive his
change and go to another wet goods store.
The police claim a greater number were
duped, but will stand their loss quietly
rather than admit they were stung. Blank
checks were being printed for French &
Company's bank by the publishing eom-
Dinv yesterday and a number were stolen
by the stranger, employes stating that a
man answering his description waa In
the composing room during the day.
Each check was drawn in favor of a
different man and an automatic rubber
stamp was used in signing the firm's
name. The amount represented a weea s
pay of the average printer here and the
forger was evidently aware of this. Ha
smeared ink on his hands and clothes
and gave the appearance of finishing a
day's work. The only clew the police
have to work on Is tne roiiowing Descrip
tion: Twenty-five to 30 years of age,
five feet six Inches tall, wore black soft
hat mixed dark suit and soft shirt, voice
rather soft and low, very quiet and worth
less appearing, features weak, smooth
shaven, dark complexion. dark hair,
weight 140 pounds.
The forgery was discovered today when
the bank refused to accept the checks.

EXPECTS PICK END
Senator McGowan Thinks
Schively Will Resign.
WOULD CUT TRIAL SHORT
Washington Solon Believes That If
"-Graft Has Existed in Insurance
Department Many Will De
sire It Hushed Up.
"It would not surprise me if the im
peachment trial in the Washington
Senate next month should come to a
quick ending through the resignation
of J. H. Schively," said- Senator Mc
Gowan, of Pacific and Wahkiakum
counties, at the Portland yesterday.
"I am not exactly making a predic
tion, and have had no information ex
cept what I have read in the news
papers, but that seems to me to be a
probable outcome In view of the failure
of Mr. Schiveley to seek depositions in
other states to present in defense to the
charges against him.
"It Is reasonable to suppose that if
there has been graft In the insurance
department there are ramifications that
persons will not want brought to light.
A strict compliance with the impeach
ment rules adopted by the Senate would
confine the trial to matters charged in
the articles of impeachment.
Probe Might Go Deep.
"If the trial were to proceed, how
ever, there would likely be such a
strong public sentiment in favor of
unearthing Everything connected with
the department that considerable lati
tude would be permitted under the
rules.
"I believe if Schively resigns it will
be without pecuniary loss to himself.
If there are persons who are afraid
he will divulge certain matters It would
be a natural course for them to con
tribute the 10,000 salary that he would
receive as Insurance Commissioner
during tha next three years, turn the
money over to Schively and block the
proceedings with his resignation.
"The political situation brought about
by the death of Congressman Cushman
may also have a bearing upon the case.
The people who have brought about
this special session are looking to the
future. If political gain can be made
by trading for Schively's resignation
and a quick end to the extra session,
I believe they will not hesitate to do
so. What do they care about past
political troubles? Schively is .a dis
card to them, for, if he resigns or is
Impeached, he is dead politically.
"Of course I am viewing this phase of
the situation from the standpoint of an
outsider. It is simply that which is to be
expected in politics."
langhorne for Congress.
Senator McGowan is one of the three
Democratic members of the Washington
Senate. When asked about the probabili
ties in nominating a candidate in the
election of a member of Congress to suo
ceed F. W. Cushman, Senator McGowan
said that In his opinion the southwest
could not produce a Democratic candidate
who would make a better showing than
Maurice Langhorne, whose name has
been frequently mentioned in that con
nection. Mr. Langhorne was formerly
engaged In the law practice in Chehalis,
but is now a resident of Tacoma.
"An attempt to amend the law so that
Congressional candidates in the special
election would be nominated by the pri
mary . method would probably be looked
upon as new legislation," said Senator
McGowan in response to an inquiry as
to the probability of the special session
next month taking such action.
"The disposition has been to exclude
general legislation. The Legislature will
probably provide the legal machinery for
holding the special election In the Con
gressional district. That is undoubtedly
an emergency matter. Attempts to change
the direct primary law, however, might
bring on trouble. There are several points
in the primary law that are not viewed
with favor In some quarters, and If one
change Is made it would be hard to say
what more would happen."
FAIR JEALOUS OF CIRCUS
Seattle) Would Refuse license to
Eastern Attraction.
SEATTLE, July 22. The Seattle
Chamber of Commerce and the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition have peti
tioned the Mayor and City Council to
refuse a license to a large Eastern cir
cus, whose flaming posters are already
on the billboards.
The petition sets forth that the circus
should not be permi'ted to compete
with the world's fair and take $50,000
out of the city. Mayor John F. Mil
ler says he is In sympathy with the
movement to exclude the circus and
suggests passage of an ordinance to
accomplish this result.

Idaho Doctor Insists That Too Many
Incompetent Men Are Given
Asylum Positions.
SEATTLE. July 2J. At today's meet
in sr of the Medical Association of the
Northwest. Dr. John W. Glvens, of Ora
fino. Idaho, an expert on the care or
Insane, claimed that three of five sur
sreons appointed to positions in state
asylums for the Insane were incompe
tent and held their places through po
litical influence alone.
rr Arthur P. Calhoun, superinten
dent ot the Western Washington Asy
lum for the Insane, at Steilacoom, at
once rose to defend his institution and
said that as far as he knew Steilacoom
is free from political appointments
whatsoever. He took exception to tha
statement that a majority of the asylum
physicians are incompetent.
The assertions of Dr. Glvens were
strongly backed up by Dr. J. M. Sem
ple. of Medical Lake. Wash., who
averred that the appointment of some
of the physicians has been the height
of absurdity and that steps should be
taken to preclude the possibility of
these physicians obtaining such posi
tions. The discussion was brought to an
end by Dr. Glvens. who with greater
force reiterated his statements.
Papers on tuberculosis were read by
A. L. Mills, of Portland; Dr. E. A.
Pierce, of Portland, and Dr. James
B. Herrick, of Chicago, prof' isor of
medicine in Rush Medical College.
A banquet was given at the Rainier
Club tonight In honor of Dr. Herrick.
