PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, MAY [8,1895.

WHO STOLE THE COW?Butcher W- C Murphy Under Arrest

for Stealing 1 a Cow.

Claims he Bought the Animal of a Stran-

ger, Who is Missing.

Thursday morning, May 9th, W. 0.Murphy, of the Pullman Meat Market,started out to purchase a beef animal forthe shop. Along toward evening he re-

turned, bringing with him a red cow,

which he killed at the slaughter houseThursday night at about 11 o'clock, for

Friday's trade.On the same day George and Arthur

Cordiner, who live on 0. W. Young'sranch, on Wilbur gulch, missed a mlmilch cow, and in tracing the matter

found the hide of the animal in theslaughter house, it having been the onekilled, by Murphy Thursday night.

George Cordiner immediately swore out

a warrant for Muiphy's arrest, charging

him with stealing the cow.At the preliminary examination held

Monday before Justice Merriman, Mur-

phy was bound over to appear before the

superior court, his bonds being fixed a|$500. These bonds were soon furnished,but later one of the bondsmen withdrew,and Murphy was yesterday taken to thecounty jail by Deputy Sheriff Eacho.

At the preliminary Cordiner Bros, es-tablished the identity of the animal,proving it was their cow that Murphyhad killed, and that they had not dis-

\ osed of it to him or any other party.Murphy's defense was that on Thurt-

day afternoon he met a man driving thecow, and that he paid him $-'1 for it, andafterward brought it to Pullman andslaughtered it. He could not produce a

witness to substantiate his story, andthe result was that he will answer to theserious charge of cattle stealing beforethe superior court. If Murphy boughtthe cow of the stranger, as he says, thenthe stranger must have stolen it flOHiCordiner Eros.., and undoubtedly hasmade himself scarce, and Murphy willhave only his own story for the defense.

There is a state law which rca'iiresthat butchers register the name of everyman of whom they purchase a beef ani-mal, together with a description of allcattle killed Had Murphy observedthis law he would undoubtedly havesaved his present difficulty.

The penalty for cattle stealing is fromo:ie to ten years in the penitentiary.

A Brisk Runaway.

Jas. Pierce left his dray team standingon Main street yesterday afternoon un-

attended, and the team concluded to dobusiness on its own account, and conse-quently started down the street. Whenat the corner of Main and Grand theteam ran into V. L. lliggins' team,

hitched to a double carriage, and tied inftont of Wood's harness shop, and camenear making a wreck of the whole outfit.The Higgins team was knocked down,and the heavy dray hauled across them.Both front wheels of the carriage werebroken, and the pole was badly smashed.One of the Higgins horses was also some-what bruised and scratched, but mirac-ulously escaped with its life. The drayteam ran the length of Grand street, andfinally stopped near the bridge. Thedray was considerably damaged. Thisrunaway 6hould be the means of causing

the passage of an ordinance making it amisdemeanor to leave a team untied orunattended on the street. H has toolong been the habit, and if not stoppedwill result in something more seriousthan bruised horsesand broken vehicles.

At ten o'clock last Monday morningthe rise of the City Of I'llllin.in vs. N. I.

j Hatley was called in Justice Merriman'scourt, the defendant being called uponto answer to the charge <>i interferingwith an officer. Hatley had been triedonce on Ihe charge, but as the jury dis-agreed il was necessary fora new trial.I'ut when tin' case "as called MondayHatley failed to appear, and to date hehas not appeared, and the city is looking

to the bondsmen to lix the matter right.Hatley wan out under bonds of $200, hissureties being W. M. and Samuel Cham-bers.

The last heard of Hatley hi* was cross-ing the Wawawai ferry, And it is now be-lieved was en route for California. Aneffort will be made by his bondsmen tobring him back for trial.

Hatley undoubtedly thought fiat theeasiest way out of the deal was to let hisbondsmen pay a hundred dollars apiece.The costs in the case had already amount-

ed to if117.

Weather-Crop Bulletin.

Below is the weather-crop report, forthe state for week ending May 13th :

\\ ESTERN SEI TION.

The weather until the Bth waf> coldand rainy, with some short showers ofhail. On the 9th it was clearing up, and

on the loth light frosts occurred in manylocalities, especially on lowlands. Onthe 11th it grew warmer, and the 12thmay be called a hot day for it was unus-ually warm for the season. On the fol-

lowing day it was 20 degree! cooler, butall the last four days of the week weresunshiny.

The week, though not all that could be

desired, was, on the whole, quite favor-able for growth. I ess wind and rainand greater warmth would have made itbetter.

In the coast counties the hail showersand wind did some slight damage tofruit, principally plums and prunes.The rain at the beginning of the weekmade lowlands too wet for work excepton well-drained land. The great advan-tage ofditching was apparent. Frost didlittle damage, except to potato vines in

a lew localities; not much to fruit. OatSare growing wonderfully on the oat Hatsin Skagit county. Grass and grain aredoing well. Pastures were never liner,

and stock is thriving. Hops were dam-

aged some by hail in Clallani county,

but elsewhere are glowing well and hall-

way or more up the poles. Lice baa nottroubled them yet. Clover and timothyare heavy, and white clover is beginningto bloom. Bees are working nicely, and

have a better stock of honey and young

bees than is usual at this time. Fruittrees are net full this year and with no

unfavorable conditions the crop should jbe large. Though some tent caterpillars

and green aphis have been reported theyhave not become numerous enough to d \u25a0

any damage. Karly peas and strawber-ries are in full bloom. Since the last

period of sunshine began all crops haveflourished, and the prospect is certainly

encouraging.EASTEKN SECTION.

The week was cold and therefore notgenerally favorable, although ehowers on

the first three days were beneficial. Two

or three hard frosta occurred, that of the

10th being particularly eovcro, In Spo-kane count} early beans were killed, andfruit was much damaged in tone local-ities, especially plume. The apple cropwill be light. In Lincoln county thisweek was windy and cold! Frosts oc-curred, the temperature falling as low as25. Farmers are blue. Continued warmweather for Borne time i,« needed, then arain.. The squirrels are becoming trouble-some. In Okanogan at the time of lastreports everything was favorable, andfruit had Bel well, but reports have notbeen received late enough to tell whetherthere was great damage from the frost ofthe tenth. In Adams frost did littledamage on high lands, but quite seriousinjury to fruit on law lands. Springsown grain is doing fairlywell, Gardensare backward. In Douglas the. rainswere followed by cool nights with frost.There was no damage as potatoes werenot up. It was a good week for grain.Columbia reported the week cold, windyand cloudy. No freezing in that vicinity.Danger to fruit now past. In Whitmanthe rain was considered of great benefit.Fall and early sown wheat is lookingwell; late sown is just coming up. Cathe 9th-10th heavy frost occurred; Icewas 0.2 of an inch thick at Rosalia.Fruit was not seriously injured; on thebills it escaped ; the air was clear anddry, and a wind prevailed. Grass hasmade wonderful growth. Gardens areat a stand-still. Walla Walla reporteda light frost on the 10th which injuredpotato vines, etc., slightly. There wasno material injury to fruit, and the weekwas otherwise favorable. In Yakimathe rain of the 7th freshened vegetation,High wind slightly injured corn. Frosthurt all tender vegetables, but did notinjure fruit. In Klickitat haying willcommence as Boon as the weather getssettled; the hay will be good. Theweather has been too cold for corn, butthe last two days warmth brought it out

well. Barley looks tine, rasa is good

on the mountains. Sheep are now mostlyshorn. The fruit crop will be great.

The first strawberries were shipped onthe Nth.
