GIBBS CAUGHT AT LAST
Arrested in Siskiyou County
California.
HIS PHOTOGRAPH IDENTIFIED.
A Cowardly Crime Which Will
Probably Send Him to the
Gallows.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. ia few days
ago Sheriff Kelly of this county received
u dispatch from the sheriff of Siskiyou
county, California, stating that colored
man had been captured near Yrcka,
whom ho confidently believed to be the
notorious colored fugitive, II. Il. Gibbs,
who shot and killed q boy named james
McDevitt, and seriously wopdcd his
father, Thomas McDevitt, in this city.
To-day IL photograph Of the prisoner
was received here, which has been idcnti'
tied by large number of persons as
Gibbs. The prisoner will be brought t.
this city tomorrow or next day.
The fatal shooting occurred on the
night of October If, and Gibbs has been
In hiding ever since and has managed to
eludo the many officers who have Leer
In pursuit. Gibbs was Pullman sleeper
porter and McDevitt special railroad
officer. The shooting was cowardly and
unprovolcd. Public sentiment is very
bitter against Gibbs, and lie can not hopt
to escape the gnllows.
Since tho shooting II number of per
sons have been arrested who proved tC
be innocent parties. There Is not tht
slightest doubt but the murderer ha'
been captured at last.

AS II Is, The whole community is aroused
against him, not because he was drunk
when he fired tho fatal shot, but because
hc killed an innocent man who stood
well in the community in which he
lived Had he killed II foul-mouthed,
lazy cur, such with which almost every
city is moro or less afflicted, or .dcsper.
people would look upon him as a sort
of public benefactor, but being rs 1t Is,
the law should be permitted to take its
course, even though the prisoner was
the son of the president of the United
States. The examination resulted as
was very naturally expected, in Russell s

THE LEAD QUESTION.


An Interesting Talk With Mr. Win
ston on Thi, ImportantsubIect.
A REVIEW reporter ca He'd at the
Office of Buck II Winston To inter
view Mr.. Winston on the senatorial
fight, he having just returned from
Olympia.
"What Is the situation at Olym-
pia?n asked the reporter
az can tell you something of more
importance to the people of this ter
ritory, and especially TO Spokane
Falls, than the senatorial fight" re-
piled Mr.. Winston, "and that Is the
great necessity of taking immediate
steps to put before the president,
congress- and the country our atti-
tudo of protection to the lead indus
tries of the country. 1t il not pos
sible to oover-estimate the importance
of this question. Lead bears the
same valuation to the states west of
the Rocky mountains that iron and
coal do to those east of that divide.
Lead made this western country u
possibility. Colorado, Nevadn,
Utah, Idaho and Washington owe
their development to the mineral
industry and the basis of these in
dustries Is lead. We must not fool

let the whole country understand
this business. ! tried to get u me-
mortal introduced into the leglsla-
ture at Olympia and passed the first
day on this subject, thus showing
the country that we regarded this
as the paramount question, but
everybody over there seemed to be
discussing the technical question as
to statehood, and the opportunity
was lost. However, now that the
question of statehood Is solved, the
memorial to congress will be looked
after and passed.
"There ought to be mass meetings
held on this subject here In Spokane
and all over the West, that Ii may
be thoroughly understood once and
for all that our lend industries must
be placed at once by congress on an
equality with the other protected in
dustries of tho country. Protection
for all or none; that Is the proper
platform to stand OH. All this talk

RAILROAD INTERESTS.
Why the Manitoba Is Pushing

NORTHERN PACIFIC DIVIDEND
One Per Cent Declared on the
Preferred Stook--The New
Traffic Agreement.

Sr. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 12.-The Mani
toba road has issued instructions to all
its agents to consign Pacific coast busi-
ness via its line and the Canadian Pa.
cinc. This is owing to the traffic agree.
ment between the Union Pacific and the
Chicago & Northwestern, which pre-
vents the Manitoba from sending bust
ness to the coast via Butte and Pocatello.
The most important part of this
agreement will DO to hurry up the con-
struction Of the Manitoba's coast line.
Several surveying parties are now in
the field, and when the road is once
started IL Is tho intention to push build.
ing as fast as men and money will per
init. The Manitoba made phenomenal
record in building its Montana cxten-
sion which was longer in point OF actual
distance than the new line to the coast
though the latter presented more engi'
neering difficulties
Before this time next year II is thought
trains will running from St. Paul to the
coast on the Manitoba's q own tracks.

interview with the president in which
the silver question was discussed at
considerable length, said Senator sher-
man. 81 atn not at liberty, of course to
report details of the discussion, but think
it pretty well settled that the next coli
gress will lie compelled TO lsgislatc in
the further interest of silver. am not
prepared to state what will be the full
nature of tho legislation. II is an inn
poriaut one, in which problems do not
enter or mt least should not enter, as it
Is IA matter of finance in the interest OF
nll classes of people, rich and poor. Ny
opinion is whatever is done nothing can
be accomplished under two years at
least, because legislation such as this
might prove ruinous to the country.
My views as to what should he done do
not ut this time care to elaborate, as the
matter is sure to come up in congress,

A DISASTROUS BLAZE,
In Which a Prospeotor Was
Burned TO Death at Cour
d'Alene City.
He Was in the City Jail, and
Tried to Burn His
Way Out. ...

CTuR D'ALENE CITY, Idaho,
Nov. 1.-THE second fire within IL
month occurred in this city Sunday
morning at 2:30 O'Clock, in which
the city jail, n wooden structure of
one story, about l2xl2, was totally
destroyed, and prospcctor, p. j..
l3recn by name, who was unfortu-
nate enough to he incarcerutcd the
evening previous, was burned to
death.
From evidence at the inquest,
held by Judge j, f.. Russell, the
Jury rendered a verdict that "De-
ceased had come to his death by his
own hands In an attempt to burn
his way out of juil.o Brsen was an
ex-solcller, having served two terms
of enlistment, and was about 40
years OF age. As II prospector and
guide he was not thought we'll of by
his brother worhinen, but the sad
manner of his death has created
much sympathy throughout the
community.
The fire would have resulted in
serious loss 20 the town, and cs-
pecially to the Northern Pacific
Railway Company, but for the
prompt action of Hose Company No.
|, which displayed considerable get
there -atlvcness for new and mex
pcrienced organization.
The railroad company had about
fifteen cars of valuable merchandise
standing on side track within II
few feet of the burning building, but
the damage will bc very light, only
one car being scorched.
Fortune again favored us in plac-
lug the tire within reach of the 1000
feot of hose, which, owing to the
light prcsstre obtained from the
stand-pipe, could not have been
reached at distance of fifty feet
more. The pumps are not yet in
sufficient working order to give IA de-
slrable direct pressure.

SPIRIT OF THE HOME PRESS

Walla Walla Journai: A few days
ago friend Of the Russell family came
to our office and requested us to say as
little as possible about the case, and to
let the law quietly and unobstructcdly
take it's course. We readily concurred
and yet people are anxious to know the
news and must have IL. Still let us be
brief, for this is case wherein We feel
considerable sympathy for tho poor pur-
ents. William Russell had prelimi.
nnry hearing before q justice of the peace
at Colfax last Wednesday. When II be-
came known that an effort would be
nude to bail the young man out Of
prison. a great Excitement was kindled,
which came very near ending in blood
sncd. The attempt to bail man out in
clear, unbailable case Is pure folly, and
hnrts tho boys case moro than 1t will
ever do him good. IL shows certain
cheap defiance at the law, and has a
tendency to excite people to violence.
At the examination II seems some wit.
nesses swore rather crooked. and it
country, where the murder was oom-
! mittcd, won't hereafter be worth a cent
| The enraged people even threatened 10
hang the Justice of the peace should he
do an act contrary TO law. The wife Of
| the murdered man was also present, and
I she declared IL Russell Is ever lot out OF
jaif sIe will hunt him down like beas,
! and kill him on sight. All this feeling
[, has been engendercd by an attempt 70
force matters. Had they waived All ex-
amination-ior what WIS thcre to exam.
| inc ?-tho feeling against Russell would
have greatly soitened and cooled down.

Livingstone, the great African traveller,
who was knocked on his back by lion,
which began to munich OH his arm.
He assured me that he felt no fear or
pain and that his only feeling was one
of intense curiosity us TO which part ol
his body the lion would take next,
"The next was Rustem Pasha now

me that no had neither pain or fear, blu,
that he felt excessively angry because
