TAKEN EAST FOR TRIAL. Newspaper Man With Family In La Crosse Deserted Bride In East.

THE EVENING STATESMAN MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1905. * JsM MOORE A SMOOTH ONE r EXPERT FORGER ALSO DOES STUNTS WITH PENDLETON SALOON KEEPERS. Now He Has Authorities of Two Counties Close on His Heels- Clever Criminal. Although the authorities of two counties are hot on his trail, Jim Moore, the forger who victimized Walla Walla saloon keepers out of $110 last week by forging ex-Senator Reser's name to bogus checks, has so far been able to elude the officers. The local police have received word that the officers of Pendleton are look ing for a man, answering the descrip tion of Moore, who left a trail of bad paper among Pendleton saloon keep ers a few days ago. The police are now convinced that Moore is one of the cleverest crimi nals they have had to deal with for some time. That he was able to clean up $110 in a short time without arous ing suspicion, stamps him as 'an ex pert forger. It is now believed that Moore simply played the role of a laborer on Senator Reser's farm in order to secure samples of the sena tor's chirography and study his meth ods of doing business. When these had been secured Mooore threw up his job and came to town. A few hours later he had executed a number of checks and succeeded in passing them among saloon men without ex citing the least suspicion. After leav ing Walla Walla it is thought that Moore went direct to Pendleton, where he succeeded in passing several bad checks among saloon men. Their bogus character came to light the next day, but by that time Moore had evap orated into thin air. , NOTED MEN TO SPEAK. Y. M. C. A. Celebration at Philadelphia Will Close Tonight.

Bonner, prosecuting attorney of Cehehalis county, and U. D. Guagey, prosecuting attorney of Jefferson county, are in the city for the purpore of bringing a friendly suit to determine the location of the boundary line between northern border of Chehalis county and the southern border of Jefferson county. There is a strip comprising a tier of sections along the boundary line that is in dispute. The question was re ferred to the attorney general for the purpose of securing an opinion as to whether the matter was one that could be settled by legislative act. Assistant Attorney' General Falknor, in an opin ion rendered recently, holds that the matter is one for adjudication by the .courts. The pivotal point in the con troversy is the location of the mouth of the Queets river in 18S9, an act of that year fixing the boundary line as starting at the river's mouth.

If next month is anything like the Februarys-of past years Walla Wal lans may expect plenty of cloudy "weather and rain and a temperature hovering around the freezing point. Observer Newman of the Walla Walla bureau has issued data from the local records for February covering a period of la years. ,The mean or normal temperature for the month is 37 degrees. The warmest month was that of 1888 when an aver age temperature of 46 degrees was maintained. The coldest month was that of 1883 with 23 degrees. The highest temperature recorded was 69 degrees on the last day of the month in 1901, and the coldest was 15 degrees below zero on the first of the month in 1893.

Anita McGee, Will Camp On an Arizona Desert. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 30.—Many residents of Seattle who met Dr. Anita Neweomb McGee, who headed a party of Red Cross nurses that went to Japan about a year ago, will probably agree' with her in her determination not to accompany her husband on his vacation when it is understood .that the husband has determined to bury himself on an Arizona desert, 100 miles from a railroad, to live on a diet of beans, bacon and rice for a period of six months. The fat doctor says that his work of the past year has to a certain ex tent decomposed the walls of his ca pillary arteries, causing him to take on an excessive amount of fat, and that in order to restore his system to its accustomed vigor he will bury himself for six months on a desert, with nothing but prairie dogs for his companions. The spot the fat doctor has selected for his sun bath is about forty miles from Yuma, which is reputed to be the hottest spot on the map. His camping place is only a water hole, the doctor says, and it is hotter than —well, Yuma. * • The yearly rainfall averages only about one-half inch there and the temperature roams around 125 degrees in the sun—for there is no shade. Na tives declare that the spirits of bad men roam the desert in that locality. They have come from below looking for their blankets. Fuel is scarce on the desert, so the doctor intends to cook his rice and bacon and beans with the aid of a large magnifying glass and the sun's rays. During the daytime the rotound physician will wander around cos tumed a la Igorrote, endeavoring to solve great scientific problems, and also to give the sun a chance to melt his too solid flesh. The mesquite and cactus of that country, unlike ordinary plants, are gree© throughout the year, and scientists have discovered that they absorb light for food in place of water.
