Vfcoroae Letter to the Civil S«r>
Bureau of the Fost-Intellieeneer.
TA*Y)MA. May JL—The supreme court
has affirmed the judgment of the iew-r
court in the MK"*uley case, and untese
a rehearing is bad the convicted ex-city
treasurer will be sent to Walla Walla te
serve out a four years' asnter.ee for ac
cepting Interest on deposits of city funds
ta the Columbia National bank, which
failed 1a October. IW6. McCauiey WHS
convicted by a Jury February a UM. He
was sentenced to four years at Walla
Wall* aad after spending a few day* ia
Jail in company with hi* predecessor
ia olfW, George W. Boaga was released
on bonds pending the hearing of an ap>
peal to the supreme court. The dacisioa
by that body ends the chapter.
McCauley** experience »s In some ways
pathetic, and hia case is more deserving
of sympathy than is that of Boggs. Mc-
Cauley Is an old soldlT. and previous to
his political association with Boggs bora
a reputation for square dealing and up
rightness in Taroma, Boggs. in the sum
mer and fall of ISBB, came srithin an ace
of being a defaulter, and it was with ths
greatest difficulty that he succeeded in
warding off the attacks of his political
enemies and others, who understood the
extremity In which he stood. He was
successful in keeping the banks in which
he was Interested alive, and then, when
the spring election of UM approached,
cast about for some one on whom he could
unload. McCauley had achieved some
prominence during the campaign of lttt
a* president of ths Harrison Club, the
only organisation in Tacoma that stood
by the Republican state ticket. Boggs
secured McCauley's nomination for city
treasurer over W. A. Sternberg, the pres
ent incumbent, only after a hard fight.
Hs spent a large amount of money in
electing McCauley. who was the low man
on the ticket. McCauley easily fell into
ths evtl ways of his predecessor.
Despite the opposition of the finance
committee, of which P. D. Norton was
chairman. McCauley persisted in keeping
a targe balance in the Columbia National
bank, which finally failed in October. 1£95.
When the bank waa placed in the hands of
a receiver, evidence implicating McCauley
and County Treasurer Hedges was discov
ered. McCauley was convicted of receiv
ing interest on the city's balance. His un
lawful jprofits amounteu to several thou
sands of dollars. He was tried and con
vietsd snd sentenced to serve four years in
the penitentiary.
McCauley lives in style in a handsome
house on South K street. He is married
snd has s family. Doubtless his attorneys
will pursue the same tactics adopted by
those of ex-Treasurer Boggs. and It may
be some time before the judgment of ths
court is carried Into effect.
OLYMPIA. May 21.-The supreme court
today affirmed the judgment of the supe
rior court for Pierce county in the caae of
the State of Washington '-••«T»ondent, vs.
James W. MoCauley, gppellsal.
This case is similar to uf the State
vs. Boggs. appellant having been treas
urer of Tacoma. In his position he came
into possession of large sums of money.
The information charges him with having
accepted intereafi upon a deposit of the
city's money made by him In the Columbia
National bank. The prcof shows that ap
pellant's pass book was balanced from time
to time with the books of the bank and
found to agree with the bank books, and
the book was returned to the appellant,
together with the checks. This, the court
thinks, was competent proof for the pur
pose of showing that tne charges made
t'pen the bx>k* of the bank to the account
of the appellant beoauae of the checks
drawn by him on his account were proper
and legal charges and tended to show ap
pellant s knowledge of the credits made to
his personal account.

B«a4s a Pointed Letter to the Civil
lervles Commissioners.
TAOOMA. May 21—Arvld Rydstrom,
commissioner of publio works, answered
the communication sent to him yesterday
by the board of civil service commission
ers in relation to the appointment of Fra
ser and Workman, as transitman and
rodman respectively. The answer is plain
and straight from the shoulder and speaks
for ttselt. It ia as follows:
"Ou the 30th instant you certified W. P.
Eraser to me for the position of transit
man In the city engineer's office, and for
the position of rodman Archer Workman.
In certifying these men for such places it
seems to me you have transcended the du
ties of your office and assumed preroga
tives that the civil servhe amendments
to the charter do not glvo you. Tou
have hold no examinations for such places
and have no eligible list, save and except
you have approved one emergency man
for such service. The men you certify as
eliglbles hsve been examined and passed
solely as laborers. For positions requir
ing technical skill you have appointed un
skilled labor, rs. You may maintain they
can fill the plnees. but how do you know
without an examination?
"Following the precedent you have thus
established you might supply from your
laborers' list men for ail positions as come
under your fostering care, for engineers,
various foremen and chiefs, etc.; and, in
deed Judging bv some of the men thus
far furnished me you have followed such
a plan before.
-The positions were only temporary, for
three or four days' work, and was the
first time occasion demanded them for
over Six months. At the time your let
ter was received withholding approval of
the m* n thev had worked three and one
half days and the Job on which they were
emrnsefl had been completed.
I call your attention to section 8 in the
charter amendments, which section grves
the head or any oepartment the rtgnt to
m«k>' temporary appointments to meet
emergencies. I fall to find any provision
In the charter where It gives you the
right to make such appointments. Your
duty is to appro*#, but not to appoint."

Salmon river and Its tributaries suffered
severe louses because of the carrying away
of dams and flumes.
At noon, after a hot. sultry morning, a
dense black cloud was seen to come up
from the west. In less than fifteen min
utes It had entirely overcast the heavens
and a deluge began pouring down, con
tinuing for over an hour. In less than
half an hour every mountain gorge and,
ravine leading into Salmon river became'
a raging torrent, which carried with it
huge boulders and trees.
Through farms, with resistless force,
swept great volumes of water and debris,
laying waste the orchards and crops. The
settlers were compelled to flee to the hills
for safety. Cattle grasing In the ravines
and low lands were drowned and carried
by the flood into Salmon river.
The cloudburst covered a territory along
the Salmon from several miles above John
Day creek to White Bird creek, a dis
tance of about twenty-one miles. No loss
of life has been reported.

PORTLAND. Or.. May 21.-The body of
the late millionaire banker, W. S. Ladd,
which was stolen from the grave last Mon
day nigh'. was recovered to;lay. and Dan
ifcl D. Miigone, a middle-aged farmer liv
ing in Oregon City, and Charle* Mont
gomery. a young man who ilso reside
near Oregon City, are under arrest.
Montgomery made a confession, impli
cating Magone and two other men who
are yet at large, and whose name* the of
ficers will not make public.
After Montgomery had made hU confes
sion. he took the officers to the spot
where the body was buried. This was on
Magone's farm, one mile and a half below
Oregon City, on the Willamette river. The
body was found practically in the sama
condition in which it was removed from
the grave.
The principal clue leading to the arrest
of the men and recovery of the body was a
drawing knife with which the casket was
opened, and which was left at the grave.
A blacksmith at Milwaukee mad# the knife,
and when it was shown to him by the de
tectives he immediately recognised it aa
one that he had ipade for Magone a short
time before.
The maximum penalty provided by the
Oregon statutes for grave robbing is two
years' imprisonment.
