TOE PACIFIC NORTHWEST I TO BE TRIED AGAIN. Information Placved Against Fergu son's Employes. Seattle. —Information was sworn out Tuesday afternoon by the prose eating attorney against Lisle and j Stone, charging them with running! a gambling game at Fifth avenue south. The two men were employed by "Scoty" Ferguson, who organized the Washington Charitable associa tion. A lottery and other games of chance were run by this association, and a bed at the Monod hosiptal was supported out of the proceeds. For some time the place flourished unmolested, as it was a question whether it might not claim the pro tection of the anti-gambling law which exempts lotteries for charitable pur poses from the operation if its clauses. Finally, however, the place was closed by the police and Lisle and Stone were charged with conducting a gambling game and bound over to appear before the superior counrt. The information, as sworn to does not allege that the defendants were conducting a lottery, which was th° advertised business of the associa tion, as the state is of the opinion that the game played was not a lot tery in the ordinary sense of the word. The case will come up for trial during the fall term, and in the mean time the men are out on bail. STATE LOST MONEY, Misinterpretation of Lease Law Cost Washington Several Thousand Dollars. Olympia—The State Land Com missioner's office here has discovered errors by a prior administration in the work of computing rentals on about 100 harbor areas leased prior to 1901, by which the state has lost several thousand dollars. Correc tions will be made in the leases at once and holders notified. Computations havt not been made of all leases affected, but on the har bor area in front of Seattle alone the state loses over $1500. The correct rental for these areas should have been about $2200. when it was figured at but $592. One lease in Whatcom that has been paying the state $108 should pay $844. One in Anacortes that should pay $889 has been paying $109. No computations have been made on Taeoma leases as yet. The errors seem to have been made from a misinterpretation of the law and the method by which it rpe scribes the computation. The law re quires that the rental shall equal one per cent of the assessed valuation of the abutting tide lands, and where the tide lands are of less width than the area, then one per cent of a pro portionate value. In many instances the harbor area is wider than the tide land lots abutting thereon, and the former administration seems to have taken no accounting of the difference In width. The land offlce states '.hat no attempt will b*>. made to make th* corrections retroactive. HABEAS CORPUS CASE FAILS. Taeoma. —The habeas corpus peti tion for the release'of J. Archie Me. Leod and Charles Mackey. prisoners serving six-year terms in the federal penitentiary on McNeil'B island for re sisting revenue officers, was denied by Judge De Haven in the federal court. The men were sentenced from Idaho, for resitting an Indian agent who was trying to search their wag on, which he suspected of containing liquor, they were endeavoring to sell to the Indians. Since their incarcer ation it has been found that the fed eral statute stipulate resisting "reve nue officers." The attorneys for the men contend that an Indian agent is not a revenue officer, and that the satute does not, therefore, apply to them, and they are unlawfully im prisoned. Without passing upon the merits of the law or the points in volved in the elaborate arguments of the opposing counsel, the writ was denied, the court allowing the de fendants the right of appeal to the circuit court of appeals.

Sumpter, Or. —Considerable excite meat was created here by a commo tion in the First Bank of Sumpter. Several people rushed into the build ing, thinking it had been held up, but instead three men were found struggling together on the floor. They proved to be Justice of the Peace R. D. Evans, J. T. Clyne. and Guy Pearson. The later was being held down by the first two mentioned, who sncceedeed in extracting some th'ng from his clothes, after which the prostrate man was allowed to get on his feet again. Justice Evans or dered him arrested, and he was im mediately taken in charge by a police man. In a short while he was out and soon had warrants for the arrest of the Justice and Clyne. These were served by the pel iceman mak ing the first arrest, rr. 1 Clyne was taken before I cc"i >r Stuart and held in $1500 bon Is. Evans was taken MAN SHOT FOR DEER. Victim of His Partner's Rifle While Hunting in the Brush. Grants Pass, Or. —The open season for deer had scarcely arrived in Southern Oregon when the usual re port of a "man shot for a deer" came in. The victim was Dr. Cooper, of Cretoo, Or., a well known citizen of Curry county. The accident happen ed in the mountains of that district a few days ago. Dr. Cooper was shot by a young man from Oakland, Cal. He lived but a few hours. The bullet penetrated the abdomen and went completely through his body, fractur ing the spine. Dr. Cooper, in company with two young men, went for a deer hunt into the mountains along Chetco river. Ar riving at a suitable place the doctor stationed the young men. and he hin. self went into the woods to scare the game out. One deer came running out of the woods and was fired upon by the Oakland. Cal., man. Shortly behind it the brush was seen to move and believing a second deer was fol lowing the first, the man fired at the quivering bushes. He was horrified to hear a cry of pain, and running down found he had shot Dr. Cooper, but lived only a short time. On account of the large number of hunting parties in the mountains, r, number of which are comprised of parties entirely new at the business and unfamiliar with the ranges, the re port of a man shot for a deer has occasioned no surprise. One of the best sport men, as well as one of the most cautious of this section, re informed a newspaper man that he felt assured there would be more fa talities iti the woods during the deer season than ever before, on account of the many "tenderfeet" that are out. men who will fire at every moving bush without a moment's inspectios a 6 to whether the movement hi caused by a man or beast. ABUSE MUST STOP. War Department Warns Olympia Manufacturers to Cease Dumping Refuse in Harbor. Olympia.—The war department through the United Stater engineers' office at Seattle, has presented an ul timatum to Olympia, to the effeel that if the dumping of refuse in the harbor by manufacturing establish ments is not stopped, the harbor im provements now about to begin will be called off. Some time ago the manufacturing establishments along the bay here were notified that they must desist from dumping refuse into the bay, but the decree does not. seem to have been complied with. Several of the big mills state that they have com plied with the order from the govern meat, and others state that they are just about to do so, and it is expected that the final ultimatum will result in the proper showing. into custody and was bound over in a like manner. He waived his hear ing and bonds. The story of Pearsons is that he won a considerable sum of money. Among this were some checks, and when he presented them for payment at the bank, Evans and Clyne, who were present, attempted to take them away from him. In the struggle he secreted the money on his person, and this was taken from him when the two had him on the floor. He claims his loss i s $son cash and $300 in checks.

Garfield. —President Hill, of the Great Northern, is to meet the farm ers of Eastern Washington this fall to discuss freight rates, and it is un derstood that President Mellin, of the Northern Pacific, and Mohler, of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation com pany, will also be present, and that the meeting will be along the same lines as that held in Colfax in July. 1902. when a voluntary reduction of 10 per cent was made in the rates then existing on all farm products. This meant 2 cents per bushel on wheat, and saved to the farmers of Whitman county $200,000. To many farmers it meant from $200 to $700 on a single crop of wheat. R. C. Mc Croskey, who is one of the movers in to have another meeting held, says it saved him more than $300 last year. Before the Elberton picnic was he ; d in the latter part of June. Presi dent Hill, of the Great Northern, thiough a representative of this state, who was largely instrumental in se curing the meeting last y ear. ex pressed a desire to be given an oppor tunity to speak at the picnic, but as he could not be there in June, sug g< sted that the picnic be held in the latter part of July. This the Elber ton people declined to do. as the pic nic has always been held in June, and it was thought the attendance would not be so large if held one month later, when harvest would be on. President Hill's representative then asked to have a meeting arranged for the early part of August, and it was so decided to call a preliminary meet ing here last Saturday to arrange a date for the meeting. Call is Issued. R. C. McCroskey, who presided at last year's meeting, and J. C. Law rence, who issued the call for it. were in communication with Mr. Hill's rep resentative, and on Saturday issued a call for the meeting here. But be fore these were mailed a telegram was received from Mr. Hill's repre sentative, asking that no action be taken until the arrival of a letter, which reached here today. In this he stated that, owing to important busi ness in the East, Mr. Hill cannot come to Washington until later, and asked that a meeting between producers and railroad presidents be arranged at a convenient place early in Octo ber. As railroad presidents was used in the plural, it is taken that Presi dents Mbhler and Mellin will also be here. The circular calling the prelim inary meeting for Garfield lor last Saturday is self explanatory, and is here given: "Garfield. Wash., July 22, 1903. "Dear Sir: Last year the meeting between the railway presidents and the farmers resulted in a reduction in rates on farm products. There was a tacit understanding at that time that similar meetings would be held in the future. In accordance with the suggestion was made to Mr. James J. Hill to appear before the farmers at the Elberton picnic. Ow ing to his absence on an ocean voy age, he was unable to be with us then, but on his return he has signified his willingness to meet the farmers of the Palouse country at an early date. "You have been selected as a rep resentative of your community to be present at a preliminary meeting to be held in Garfield Saturday. July 25. at 1 p. m.. to make arrangements for such meeting. Be sure to attend." Will Meet at Pullman. The fact that President Hill desir ed to speak at the Elberton picnic, which was addressed by Governor Mcßride on the railroad commission plan, is considered significant, and it is thought that he wished to snow the farmers the advantage of dealing di rect with the railroad managers in stead of seeking relief through legis lation It was at first intended to hold the meeting in one of the large warehouses of Garfield, had it been held in August, but in October this will be filled with wheat, and cannot be had for that purpose. Pullman, being on both lines of rail road and having fine hotel aecommo dations and a good opera house, has been selected as the place for holding the meeting, and the date will be an nounced when it will be convenient for him and his associates to attend It is thought there will be a record breaking attendance of representa tive farmers at the meeting. Last year's meeting was attended by a vast crowd of farmers, despite tn« fact that it was held at one of Xlv busiest seasons of the year.
