ing for Charles Peake and it is fear
ed he has met with foul play. Clyde
Freeman reported tins mnttt'r to (he

has been undertaken. Nothiug has

Peake and Freeman were land
hunters together in the vicinity of
Grosser. They were searching th
stock range and had been camping
about In the hills for some time,
when their horses broke away one
nignt and after hunting for them In
effectually for some time it was ds
cldert that one man should tramp the
10 miles to Prosser while the other
remained behind to guard he camu
equipage and the saddles. Freeman
undertook the Journey. Since he left
camp nothing has been seen or heard
of Peake.
There was an understanding be
tween the two men that Freeman was
to continue on to Walla Walla, after
leaving word at Proscer for horses
to be taken to his friend. This pro
gram he followed out. Peake was to
come an here as soon as possible
and was to express the saddles and
goods as soon as he could reach the
railroad. Nothing has arrived.
That was three weeks ago and
Freeman has gradually grown ua
easy. Yesterday he placed the mat
ter in the hands of the officers He
says Peake had $100 in bills and
coins on his person when the two
men parted, and that was just the
season of the year when tramps and
hold-ups were common in tho Pasco
country and along the line of the rail
road. Ho fears that Peake, after
having regained civilisation, wad
made away with and the money ap
propriated by thieves and murderers.
Peake and Freeman are partners in
a large drove of cattle now pastured
