stock market lure caused by the alarming news from
New York. Much excitement prevails among stock

form '.rust** has precipitated a crisis which, it is hoped,
will only Km temporary* . V \
Inquiry made at the office of Downing. Hopkins ft
Company in Seattle this afternoon confirmed the news
that the eastern industrial market went to pieces this
morning. The New York failure will effect eastern stock
operators.

dard county, was killed Wednesday
night by whit* cap*, and today Oliv

Ka<-h of the four has confeased that
he was with th* party of whits caps
that shot Sullivan to death
Hulllvan was killed at hi* home at
Hatcher"* {twitch, two mile* east.
Ills body, when found, was riddled
with bullet* of all kind* and caliber.
Indicating that many beald** the
nun under arrest had assisted In hi*
murder.
Suspicion early rested on the f.ejr
men who were later taken Into cus
tody, all of whom ar* well known
fhrenigbout th* county. No .sua*
for the white capping ha*. so far, up -
. peared to th* public, and each of
the confessed slayers decline to make
a statement of any kind. Nothing
tangible regarding the allocking
tragedy appears. There la a vis-"
story afloat that the white caps mis
took Bullvan for another man whom
they'sought, but the Identity of this
tmua and 'in ei.ii.t for the effort to
kill him are as' Indefinite and mys
terious as In th* case of the real
victim.
