IF YOU TAKE
A LOOK
At the Ferryman tract oa Orondo Aye. yeu will
agree with me that it is one of the most attrac-
tive and best located places in the valley. The
graund is in excellent cultivation, the trees well
pruned and thrifty and a general air of home per-
radea it all. Isa't it just what you have want-
Ed? So close la, too.
Remember, you can buy tracts to your liking,
from one acre up, and on reasonable terms.
Don't wait until someone else has taken tke
part you want.

BOY'S FATHER
SETS ANXIOUS
John Lockman, 'Sr., Telegraphs for
News of Murder—Mystery Still
Enshrouds It.
If John, Lockwood is dead, the
only man who is sure of it is his
self-confessed murdtrer, William Ar-
Ithur I>avis.
Others, who have studied the 1
case, incline to the theory that 17
--year-old John Lockman himself
I wrote the mysterious note and
| dropped it on the floor of the Spo
| kane saloon.
j Reports say that the boy had
['been in love wi.-h a girl, Edith'
■ Speck, at Marcus, Washington, anl,
(was curious to know whar effect
the news of his deaai would have
jon her, and took this uncanny |
: means of ascertaining.
His Father Telegraphs.
This morning Chief of Police Fer- j
guson was in receipt.of a telegram-
I from Marshfleld, Ore., as follows- j
• "la there any truth in the report
that a boy was murdered in your j
city about October 1?
Signed, John Lockman."
j Tbe inference v that John Lock
man is the father of the boy in ques
tion, who apparently had been I
named after his sire.
Davis Was Here With Boy.
, It has been ascertained that the
man and boy who spent a part of
the night of October 1 at the Cot
tage House in this city answer the
description given in the mysterious
c ite, inasmuch that the man, In con
versation at the hotel, said that hu
name was Davis; he also said the
boy with him was his son. They
occupied room 18, and were called
in the early morning for the east- '
bound train. If Davis really killed
his youthful companion, the crime
was probably committed between 3 :
o'clock and daylight.
Search for Slgaw of Crime.
I This morning she Sheriff, the ;
Chief of Police and a World report-
ifer made a careful search of the
banks of the Columbia, from the C.
& O. docks up to the shipyard, but
nothing was discovered which would
tend to confirm the wild story told
iin the note. The usual traces of
| hobo camps, such as old shirts,
socks, empty cans, charred remal ts
of campfires, cigaret stubs, etc.,
lined the river bank in places; but
the customary bloody knife or
i "traces of an awful conflict" Were
missing. Of course 17 daw? have
, elapsed since Davis says he killed
I the boy and threw him in the river;
jand his letter does not say at what
I point he deposited the boly in the
1 water.
Will Await Developments.
| So far a3 the local authoritiei a*e
| concerned, they will probably do
1 nothing further until some confir
i mamation of Davis' story comet
| from Spokane, or until the body is
I discovered—if it ever is. An I as
Davis' note was dated at St. An
! thony, Idaho, it is unlikely that ho
iis to be found anywhere around
| Wenatchee.

velous Heroism.
Fontanet, Ind., Oct. 16.—When
the residents of this village of 1,000
people awoke this morning they en
countered a much different situation
than they had been accustomed to
in the past. Instead of a quiet
country town and pleasant scenery
to greet their eyes, desolation was
at hand.
Soldiers of the Indiana State Mi
litia had been on guard all night.
Details as to what caused the ter
rible catastrophe of yesterday, when
the Dupont powder mills 'blew up,
killing probably 35 and injuring 600
persons, were lacking. No one con
nected with the powder company
could ascribe any reason for the ex
plosion. Several rumors were cur
rent, one of the most probable cir
culated being that the machinery in
the glazing mill became overheated
from friction and set Are to some
loose powder in the glazing milj,
which was the first to blow up, the
other sections of the plant follow
ing in rapid succession.
A number of the people of this
place were able, by patching up their
houses, to pass a fairly comfortable
night. The remainder were supplied
with sleeping cots pTaced" in tents.
First Explosion of Powder.
The most connected reports show
that the first explosion occurred at
8:45 o'clock. That was an explo
sion of 40,000 pounds of powder ia

ST. LUKE'S 4TH
ANNIVERSARY
Sacred Celebration of Founding of
Local Episcopal Church on
Friday.
St. Luke's Episcopal Church will
celebrate the fourth anniversary of
its inception on St. Luke's day, Fri
day, Oct. 18.
There will be a celebration of the
Holy Communion in the church at
10 o'clock on Friday morning and
jthe anniversary reception to the
friends and members of the church
at 7:30 sharp in the evening. On
Sunday morning at 11 o'clock there
will be special services and an anni
versary sermon.
The present rector, Rev. T. jA..
Hilton, began his work in Wenat
chee on St. Luke's day, Oct. 18,
1903, by invitation of tbe Rt. Rev.
Lemuel H. Wellb, D.D., Bishop of
Spokane. When he arrived from
the east be. found that there were
but few communicants of the Epis
copal church in the town and very
j little money in hand to begin the
erection of a church building. ft
was determined to build a Brame
structure, which could be used for
J church and social purposes, on the
.east end of the lot, reserving, the
corner for a stone church when the
conditions would warrant it; thfl3
building was under roof and in use
for divine service within six weeks
and was finally completed and paid
for by April, 1904. Work was be
gun in the following month on the
J Rectory and a handsome house of
eight rooms was built fr the use
of the Rector and his family. This
house 13 almost free from debt, and
it is expected that it will be entire
ly so in a short time. Part of tre
foundation for the new church has
been laid, so that the grounds may
be properly graded whan Chelan
avenue and First street are improv
ed. The Ladies' Guild baa been the
most activ agent in the work, which
would have been impossible without
the devoted energy, of its members.
