iDUN SAYS HE'S DEAD
Sending a fake telegram tilling of
his own death and asking for burial
expenses is one of the latest methods
for getting cash employed by Clifford
George, the well known I'matiHa
cijunty Indian who was recently par
oled from the Idaho penitentiary.
Failing in his purpose, the ingenious
redskin resorted to his old trick and
is now in the hands of Lewis police
and is soon to lie sent back to the
prison from which he was liberated.
Tom Thompson, the well known
farmer who is renting George's allot
ment of land on the reservation re
reived a telegram several days ago
from Winchester, Idaho, stating that
George had died and asking him to
send J35 to pay for a casket and
wrappings. The name of James Gor
don was signed to the telegram.
Thompson was about to send the
money when he chanced to encoun-

Wife Slayer
Chesterfield Court House, Va.,
Aug. 25. The taking of testimony
in the case of Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr., who is on trial for the murder of
his young wife,' made fairly good
headway today and much interesting
and at times exciting testimony has
been given by the numerous witness
es who have thus far been examined.
Beattie still maintains his confiden
tial air.
His cousin, Paul Beattie, has arriv
ed here to take the stand and tell how
be purchased the shot gun for his
cousin, the defendant, which the state
will endeavor to show was the one
that was used to kill Mrs. Beattie.
The defense expects to break down
this testimony.
Beattie is himself conducting the
defense, although the lawyers are
doing the work under his direction.

Madison, Wis.. Aug. 25. That
the principal of popular government
by tho maif's, that President Taft
feared and not the recall of tho judi
ciary which he i've as his reason for
vetoing the statehood h'.lls for New
Mexico and Arizona, is the charge
that is made today by Fnited States
Senator l,a Follette, in his journal
which has just boon emitted from the
press.
Senator La Follette charged that
President Taft, who was elected by
a popular majority of the common
people of the Fnited States, was
afraid to trust those same common
people to rule the'.r own country be
yond a certain limit.

walkout. The first scene of the Im
pending strike, will in all probability
be along the Pacific coast.
Vice President Kruttschnitt had
conferred with President Kline, 4
refused to recognize the union "fed
eration system."
He said that the proposition laid
before him by Kline was too radical
for the company to recognize, or eer
; grant and his statement is taken to
indicate that the company may decid
1 to fight instead of granting the de
i mands which the federation of shop
, men have requested. The demand
i were for shorter hours and' a wag
; Increase.
I Reports today from the Pacific
slope state that Southern Pacific shop
men in practically all large center
have already token strike '.allots and
it is rumored that they have voted to
i strike if the comnanv d,.e nnt
cede to their demands.
It is known that the men on th
Southern Pacific, the O.-W. R. &
Central Pacific, Oregon Short Line.
Houston and Texas Central, San Pe-
aio ana .-nit Lake and the Illinol
Central are discontented and that on
ly a spark is needed to bring on the
threatened disturbance.
That the railroads are anticipating
trouble is seen in the preparation
they have heen making recently, by
building barricades, reinforced with
barbed wire. shout their shop
throughout the country.
President Kiine said' that 4000 em
ployes of the Sunset route of th
H.'.r:-:n-an system.
