UNDER A CLOUD.
A Party of Confidence Mon shake the
Dust Of Spokane from their shoes

Last week we had occasion to dish
up dissertation on gaming that was
brought out by little bunko prac-
tice. More light was thrOwn upon
the operations Of this gang Satur-
day, and at the hour OF going to
press a crowd was on trial and neck
stretching was theme Of CONVERSE
tion in numerous quarters. Things
looked squally, and a hemp party
was on the tapis for a time. 1t
seems that not contented with the
shop in town, that was to all out
ward signs visible closed upon the
orders of the authorities, the gang
was still plying their nefarious trade.
They confined their operations to
working railroad trains, and numer-
Gus parties learned how not to do it
at an expense running all the way
from dollars up to hundreds. A part
Of the force was at the depot Satur-
day morning, for no honest purpose.
The got into dispute with some Of
the travellers from a to anxious de-
sire on the part Of one man to point
them out as confidence workers. In
the trouble so stirred up the sharpers
had the very bad taste to kick and
cuff one Of their opponents. This
was more than flesh and blood could
very well submit to, and the man
assaulted lodged complaint against
the assaulters. Three of them were
at once arrested and brought before
Judge Allen. Excitement about
town ran high and cloud of people
hovered about the Judges office.
Expressions Of violence were fire.
vuently heard, but no demOnstra-
tions were made. That old war
horse, Judge Belts, appeared : as
attorney for the prosecution. The
Judges temper was aroused by the
performances of the gang, and he
handled the case without gloves.
The jurisdiction of the court as far
as burning the prisoners was limited.
Mr.. Allen was sorry that he could
not lift the fines to a thousand, so
were the balance Of the community.
One Of the party was fined 500, the
other bound over to the next term.
The fellows weakened and promised
to skip the town If the latter punish
ment was omitted. Considering
the riddence of the gang was more
to be desired than anything else,
they were permitted to vamoose,
which they did Saturday night.
There was rumors of the formation
.of a. vigilance committee, but the
matter is resting at present, still we
feel perfectly satisfied that If an
other crowd Of the kind locates in
town such an organization will be
instituted and warm work result
therefrOm.

A PERILOUs VOYAGE.
DOWN THE TREACHEROUS
SPOKANE. RIVER.
4 Trip FrRught by many Dang
ers and Fatal 10 One of
the Adventures.

To person not acquainted with
the nature Of the stream a trip from
Spokane Falls to the Columbia river
by water would appear to he very
easy matter, and one containing all
the elements Of pleasure. But act
ual experience and observation will
dispel that idea. Spokane river is
one Of the most picturesque streams
in country noted for the striking
beauty of its water courses. The
water itself, distilled from the i'm
maculate SHOWS of winter that give
way with stubborhess before the adj
vance of summer, is cold and clear
as crystal. From its very Source it
travels along over a rocky bed, and
is cut up with rapids and falls clear
to where it joins the Columbia and
contributes its might toward making
up that great river. In many places
it flows through high banks, and
possesses scenery which for grandeur
and beauty cannot be surpassed.
While there is sufficient water al
most to float a steamboat, yet it Is
not navigable for skifis on account
Of the rapids, riffs, falls, etc, that
break up the surface. A number Of
efforts have been made by parties to-,
go through to the Columbia by this
route, but in every case, as far as we
know, the experiment has proved
failure, and sad to relate in a recent |
case resulting in the drowning of
one of the bold Adventures. A
short time ago three young men
named II. c. Bowen, c. c. Bowen .
and Henry Underhill conceived the |
idea of going to Portland by water,
and with that purpose in view pro-
ceeded to build a skiff to carry them
through. The craft, while a staunch |
boat Of its kind, was a frail affair to |
trust their lives in, yet the boys had /
the utmost confidence in their ability |
to manage. They started from this
place Saturday morning in high |
spirits, but the voyage was destined |
to be of brief duration. When only |
some five miles west of here, at a
point on the river known as Pitcher
and Barrel rocks, the boat was cap
sized in the rapids. With great
labor the Bowen boys were enabled
to reach land but Underhill was
swept away and drowned. The
young man who was lost was about
p years of age and has n mother
somewhere in Canada. The Bowens
lost their coats containing all the
money they had besides the outfit.
Mr.. Bailey, Chas. PEBBLES
and Geo. McGlaufiin happened to
drive over to Pitcher rock, where
they met the Bowens. The gentle
men instituted a search for the craft
and contents. The boat was found
and some Of the articles were picked
up along shore. The Bowens re-
turned to this city, satisfied with
their experience on the Spokane.
The body Of the unfortunate Under
hill has not been recovered.

Nor could readily anticipate that such
calls On the part of our fellow citizens, upon
you and me and others as have been made
and are making through the press and in
discussion, would tend to any serious dl5trac-
ton or inhalmony in the Republican party
of our State upon any question touchlng tne

What ifit should be Edniunds
from the New York Hefadl


In the tables of delegates elected which
were published yesterday in the Herald the
apparent footings gave Mr.. Edmunds only
forty. five votes. That may be correct aud it
may be incorrec,. Nobody can tell exactly
how the vote will stand until the ballot is
taken at Chicago. There is an old saying
that the best time to bet on al election Is
after the polls are closed and the vote is
counted
Senator Edmunds may turn up very mitch
stronger at Chicago in June than his rivals
now think. He is good deal of II man
be has ad a long experience of public life
and has shown conservative and statesman
like qualities. He Is favorite in New York
and the favorite OF New England, and sen
s'ble men in the West speak of him with
&C ltidence and adm alton. We do not ad-
vie anybody at this moment to bet very
heavily against Mr.. Edmuuds's chances. Mr.
Roosevelt, who seems to be q pretty able
politician as well as a successful reiormcr,
hos taken the Edmunds canvass under his
W lr, and NJ. Roosevelt has accomplished
some things this past winter more uneX.
pected and more difficult than would be the
nomination of Mr.. Edmunds at Chicago.
Delegates TINS year are, as ColOrtu gen
tie nan said Of white men in neral,
| mighty onsartain." In fact, it is the most
puzzling and uncertain year the politicians
| have ever seen. There is not one Of that
tribe WHO would think 1t safe to bet on
| either nominal IN or the election. Many
| good people think it is time for the Demo
Gratis to "have a chance in which case the
June nomination at Chicago will BE only s
source Of fruitlcss anxiety to the man VIII
gets it. Sill, the Republicans may pul
through if they are shrewc enough to nom
nate the fight man and when they assemble
at Chicago possibly they will thiuk Mr.. Ed
mundS the right man. Who can tell :?
| BY he way, is it not little imprudcrt fo
the Blaine people tn attack the honesty o
Scn-'U: Edmunds? Do they really eXpcc
