STABBED TO DEATH
Another Murder in Walla
Walla Penitentiary
THE WOUNDED MAN LIVES AN HOUR
Convict Ellis. While at Work. Struck
Six Tlmea With m Knife by
Convict Harrison.
Walla Walla, Wash.. July 12. An
other brutal murder was committed in
the penitentiary thie afternoon, the vic
tim being William Ellis, and the murder
er William Harrison, both convicts.
The men were working in the jute mill,
running iooma about 40 feet apart.
About 3 o'clock Guard August Henriod,
who was occupying a cage in the center
of the mill, noticed a commotion among
the convicts near the loom where Ellis
was working. Suddenly Harrison grasp
ed Ellis round the neck with his left
hand, and to the guard it appeared as
though Harrison was striking Ellis with
his right band. The guard leveled a gun
at Harrison, who immediately loosened
his grasp on Ellis, and, dropping down
behind the loom, crawled about 60 feet
away and hid behind a bale of sacks.
Ellis then walked over to the overseer's
desk and fell on the floor. Jt was then
noticed that he was wounded, and that
blood was flowing from his side in a
stream. The wounded man was hurried
ly taken to the penitentiary hospital and
Dr. J. E. Bingham, the penitentiary
physician, was summoned, when it was
found that Ellis had received six knife
wounds, two in the right arm, two in
the stomach and two in the breast. One
of those in the breast pierced the right
lung, and one passed entirely through
the liver. Ellis only lived an hour,
detain resulting from internal bleeding.
He was only concious a short time, and
it was impossible to get him to tell the
story of the affray, beyond saying that
T'Trrison killed him with a knife. They
vre on bad terms, having had a quarrel
several days ago.
Harrison was taken to the prison and
placed in close confinement. He was
searched by the officials of the institu
tion, bnt they failed to find the weapon.
The penitentiary officials are now invej
tigating the case.

were almost marvelous in the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist
Church at Rivers junction she was
brought down with Pneumonia succeed
ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing would last hours with little in
terruption and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recom
mended Dr. Kingis New Discovery ; it
was quick in its work and highly satis
factory n results.". Trial bottles free at

Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the conntry than ail other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
mucous surfaces of the system. They
