(Hearst News by longest leased Wire.)
.Omaha, Neb, Deo. tl. A speolal to
night from Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
says:-
As tha result of being run to earth
In this city, after being; a fugitive from
the United States authorities of tha
southern district of Iowa since last Feb
ruary. Dr. C. C. J. Wachendorf, prac
ticing physician in this city, today shot
snd killed himself within a few minutes
after being notified that he was under
arrest on the Charge of violating ths
postal regulations, , . ..
Wachendorf had been a resident of
Ktoux Falls since the latter part of Sep
tember. The arrest was made by Dep
uty United States Marshals Carlton
and Lfttnb of this city. They proceed
ed to the office of the pbysiclan in the
business district When he appeared at
the door in answer to a summons of
' the officers, he bad only a portion of
)iis clothing on. When informed of the
nature of their errand, he glanced at
the warrant for his arrest and then'
left the deputies in the reception room
and went to sn Inner room, off which
was a jea room, giving . the two aep.
titles to understand he would accom
pany them in a few minutes, or as soon
as he could dress. . ... , . .
Going directly to tha bed room, ha
attemDted to shoot himself throush the
beart with a 88-callbre revolver but
-missing hisjRlra he fired a second shot
Into his head, penetrating .the brain
and eaustns instant death. ,
Tha particular charge upon which be
, was arrested waa the sending last Feb
- ruary from the postoffice at Lldder
i ale, Iowa, of a threatening letter to
Henry Quodle to Omaha. In the letter
tie c nar rea uuoaie witn naving assault
d his (the physician's) wife and
demanded a sum of money In satisfac
tion, threatening that if it was not paid
wouia aiu uia umu man. ,,
The recspture of Horace O. McKlnlay,
notorious througbout tha United Btates
as ons of the leading spirits in the far
reaching land-fraud operations of Ore
gon, recalls the flight and escape of
the fusltlve from ths United States
and the long-oontlsued efforts of United
States District Attorney Bristol and his
assistant, James Cole, to bring the man
back to serve out bis sentence.
McKlnley was convicted of conaplr.
acy to rob tha government of lands el
the same time wai a. a. u, x umr m.
bis fate, and In order to secure their
evidence in the case against Senator
Mitchell the defendanta were allowed
to go under auapended aehtencea and
bonds until such time as Mr. lleney had
secured from them the testimony de
sired. McKlnley did appear before the
federal grand Jury, and it waa upon his
testimony In part that ths indictments
were returned against Senator Mitchell
snd others.- . ... .
McKlnley eluded the vigilance of
Heney and bis sleuth, Burns, however,
and, after roaming at will throughout
tha United 8 la leu. at laat escsped in
company with the notorious dancer,
"Little Egypt." leaving hla wife. Marl
Ware McKlnley.. in Ban Francisco.
In March. 0, District Attorney
Brlatol began efforts to secure tha ex
tradition of McKlnley from his placs of
refuge in Chins, and took the question
up with the department of Justice at
Washington. After long negotiations
the department informed Bristol tbst
McKlnley would be sent for, provided
Bristol would send the evidence of his
crime and conviction to the department
of state. '
This information was prepared and
sent, and in September lsst the depart
ment of stste telegraphed to Portland
ssklng Bristol If a man could be sent to
China after the prisoner. Deputy Mar.
shal Kerrigan was selected to make the
triD and started. In the meantime ths
department of stats caused the arrest
01 McKlnley on csoiea instructions, dui
he bribed the Chlneso Jailers and made
bis escape to Harbin, at which place ha
pas just Dean rearrested.
Kerrlsan is now In China waiting to
bring his msn back to Oregon. As soon
as he is brought to Portland be will be
given the sentence now banging over
him and will begin its service. It Is
probable that he will enter The Jail
about the time that 8. A. D. Puter, his
accomplice, leaves vpon the completion
of his sentence. '
According to the dispatch received
here yesterday. McKlnley wss captured
by Chlneae and American officials. Al
though tha cablegram came from Peking,
McKlnley was captured at Harbin by
the authorities, from Mukden, whencs
McKlnley recently escapeo.

Ths young man was so "shocked" at

of the Mew England Watch and Ward

be stopped.

4 posedly, was seen In the neigh- 4
4 borbood Friday evening. 4

4 ing for tha supposed : burglar 4

The Republican county committee, ss-
sembled in the Selllrig-Hlrsch building
ast night, carried out the program ar
ranged for it by the election of C M.
Idleman as chairman to succeed W. M.
Cake. The commutes also selected J.
Frank' Blnnott to nil the office of vice
chairman, created under new by-laws,
the election In each case being by" acclamation.
Tha committee alao took a glancing,
ndirect ahot In the direction of favor
ing the county convention Idea. - tt'hle,
action took ths form of indorsing the
resolutions nsssed by ths Union Iteoub-
llcan club and favored by the Boll wood
and Brooklyn clubs, recommending the
forming of voluntary organisations in
precincts throughout the county and ths
holding of a "county convention of rep
resentatives." It was explained that
the committee desires to hear from ths
votsrs through these precinct clubs and '
then give heed to the "voice of the
partjT If the clubs favor the county
convention method.
Olldes Slfbt Za. I
Ths -oath for ths naasase of Mr. Idle-
man to the office of chairman had been
nicely smoothed before ths meeting, and
the only ripple along Its course wss a'
motion by one of the unsophisticated
members to continue Mr. Caks in ths
office until the prlmsries are ovsr snd
ths regular campaign Degins. mis mo
tion wss tsbled. As Mr. Idleman was
not a member of the committee when
lsst night's meeting began, the firat
formality was bis srpointment from his
home precinct to All a vacancy, this
being done on the recommendation of
Mr. Caks.
This accomplished. Chairman Caks In
nocently suggested that, Mr. idleman be
called up on the teiepnone ana nounea
that he had been elected, and that his
f re Hence was deelred. Tbe member ae
ected for. the telephone duty, also in in
nocent tone, said Mr. Idleman promised
to come a a aoon as he could put on his
shoes, probably no one suspected Mr.
Idleman of intending to go 10 bed Just
at that time, however,
. ' Cake Za Vol Cat.
Idleman arrived as the resignation of
Caks was being read, and was received
with a round of applauss... Mr.. Cake's
letter offered the promised explanation,
beginning with the dictum that "a man
aging organisation or committee baa no
business to aid or obstruct or be Inter
ested In the campaign of any candidate
for nomination for any office at , the
primaries," . and declaring that , in his
own case he 'is much lntsrssted in a
possible candidate for the nomination
for the eatlce of United States senator
at the coming primary election."
Tbe name of his brother, U. M. Cake,
was not mentioned, and tbe matter of
his candidacy - was left a matter of
doubt The chairman concluded his let
ter with the expression of thanks to his
coworkers on the committee nd a call
for harmonious action.
After yielding the chair to Mr. Idle
man, who had been placed in nomina
tion by W. H. Galvani, the retiring
chairman made a few remarks deploring
fsctlonalism and asserting that a large
part of the trouble in the Republican
party arises through dissensions stirred
up by the Democrats. He wanted to
5lve .a parting word of warning In that
irectlon, b said.
Oratory Tuned Iboos.
Mr. Idleman turned loose a small
avalanchs of oratory, exhorting the
committee to work as a unit to assert
Itself as the governing body of the
party. Ue said the Republican party
has gone wrong in allowing the elec
tion of Democrats to important offices.
and It has been punished, for Its dere
liction. ' ' - '
The resignations of the members of
the executive committee were tendered
and accepted, and Mr. Idleman said hs
would deliberate a few days before an-!
nounclng the members of his cabinet
The election of a treasurer was re-1
f erred to the new executive committee, I
after several of the members had de
clared in favor of electing on the In
stant and after two nominations actu
ally had been -made. 4. a. tiertcnem,
the secretary, holds over. Several va
cancies of precinct committeemen were
sued.

Forest Grove, Or., Dec. 28. For the
first time In the history of Forest
Grove, has absolute quiet reigned
among the "wets" and the "drys" at ths
relative tlms before the municipal elec-
It Is only a little over two weeks to
January 1 J, when the election takes
place, and not even a whisper has been
soundsd In public as to prospective can
dldates.
Heretofore the "wets" and "drys"
have been strons- in defense of their re
spective contingent Ions; before Christ
mas, and spirited discussion has bsen
exchanged through the local press.
Last year Judge William Langley
and Recorder Hoge unsheathed their
swords early ifi the game and went
forth to a literary battle that waxed
hot and long for and against the liquor
traffic. They had their many follow
ers, and tbe town was divided.
Forest urove is tne nome or raciric
university. The faculty and friends of
this institution have always been foot
on the trail of anyone that had the
boldness to suggest boose, and hays
fought at the -oils accordingly.
This tense silence on both sides is
due to ihe fact that last January the
"wets" won out by placing in office a
