struction of the store and residence and
the death Of his wife. He was placed
in Jail, coroners inquest was held last
ing several days and appellant was
brought before it and testified under

Of his wife, and on the trial evidence
was omitted over his objection Of the
statements which he had made before
the coroners inquest. lie was convicted

We thought we could comprehend at

but it grows on US. We have set to work
to assist the people who have suffered
most, but it is like removing mountains
with wheelbarrows. The people Of the
country at this time of year have little
or no money to give, and scores of fami-
lies will have to be supplied with things
that can be obtained only with money.
The most we can do, is to help them
open their fields for this years crop, and
that is an Herculean job.

AUTHORITY. AT a meeting of IS citizens
OF Lewiston held on Monday evening author
ity was given to Ezra Baird to represent
their views at Boise among the members of
the Legislature on the question of county
seat or division OF the county as emergency
may require. The sentiment of the meeting
generally was expressed against any livis.
ion or re, location, but some said as a last re-
sort it would be better to consent to divis.
ion on the north or middle line Of IS, than
to have the county seat removed. We sug-
gestea that the division was already dead
for the present, by the action of over 800
citizens of the county, and that IA few here
in Lewiston had no proper authority to re-
vive it under any circumstances, that to'do
so would be acting in bad faith with the 500
who had sat down on any and all division at
the twelfth session. Several men from the
Potlatch were present who expressed the
same sentiment, but they We're not permit
ted to vote under the rule that only citizens
cf Lewiston were to vote. Seventeen ont
of the 3S that voted, voted against the reso-
luton, as it would appear that citizens OF
Lewiston wanted to revive the question OF
division, which was already killed. Baird's
authority is discretionary, and we do not
apprehend that he will attempt to use il
against the expression of the 500.

The memorial for annexation has been de-

we feared when We found that Gov. Neil

the Statesman towards Us will yet recoil on
them. Ainslic now says that he shall work
for annexation because the people have
made the issue squarely and annexation has
won by large majority. If Sinaiser keeps
