A FEARFUL FALL.
Golden McGilvray Falls From the Mon

Golden McGilvray Falls From the Mon
roe street Bridge.
Yesterday morning about 10 O'Clock Col
den McGiivray met with an accident which
will probably result In his death. He was
at work on the high trestlework being con:
structed across the river on the line Of
Menroe street, boiling two OF the heavy
timbers together. In some unaccountabe
way he lost his equilibrium and his fellow
workmen were Mortified TO see him fall to
the rocks below, a distance of nearly sixty
feet.
He was picked up and taken to shanty
near by, and physician summoned, who
thought that his wounds we're not very se-
rious. He was taken TO the hospital and
careful examination revealed that his
injuries would In all probability cause his
death. In the fearful fall his head or neck
struck one Of the 2x4 braces between the
heavy timbers with such force as to break
the heavy piece. His lower jaw was broken
in three pieces which wound was no doubt
inflicted by striking the timber in his fall.
He then fell to the rocks below, and when
picked up was bleeding at the mouth and
ears. The examination showed further
that three of his ribs were broken, and
that his spine was injured, but the extent
OF his last wound is not yet known.
He wa, resting last evening az we'll as
could be expected, butif he RECEIVERS 1t will
be almost miraculous.

Ltsi Saturday Dago employed on the
railroad between here aud Mullen met
with remarkable accident, and that he
vas not killed instantly seems almost a
miracle. He was standing near the track
while the construction train was passing,
loaded with standard gauge rails. When
passing him one of the cars left the track
and tipped over sufficiently to let all the
rails slide of. The unfortunate Italian
was caught by them and crushed
to the ground, and thirty rails
crashed down upon him, literally buryina
him. Fortunately the ground was very
wet and soft, else he would have been
mashed into jelly. He was released as
soon ~ possible and brought to this city
and placed in charge Of Dr.. Plnmmer. the
Northern Pacific physician. He was fear.

An Oficial OF the Territorial Bastile Visits
The Fails.

The Fails.
john J. Justice, warden of the terrific
rial pen,tentiary, arrived from Wa'la Wal.
Ia yesterday. Mr.. Justice was for twelve
years city marshal Of Walla Wall and was
appointed warden Of the penitentiary by
Governor Squire, and was reappointed to
the position by the new board Of peniten-
tiary commissioners last spring. Mr.. Jus-
tice recently forwarded his resignation to
Governor Semple. Although democrat,
he did not resign for political reasons, but
because his private business requires all
his attention. The board of
commissioners have power to appoint his
successor, with the approval of the gov
ernor, az is the case with all other officials
of the penitentiary. The commissioners
are all democrats, notwithstanding the
bill creating the board of commissioners
provided that not more than two of the
members should be chosen from one po-
litical party. The governor thought the
lawmakers had no right to dictate as to
the political faith of appointees, and hence
ignored that provision of the act creating
board of penitentiary commissioners.

Major Gwydir Looking After These

Homeless Wards OF the Governments.
Major r. d. Gwydir, of the Colville
Indian agency, accompanied by his family
and clerk, James l.. Gibson. arrived in
the city Sunday night from Fort Spokane.
Major Gwydir expects to remain here
week or ten days. While in Washington
recently he secured $500 to purchase food
and clothing for the Spokane Indians in
this vicinity, and during his stay here.
the major will purchase the supplies
and distribut them among the most
needy aud deserving Indians, many of
whom are in almost absolute want. These
Indians, Maj. Gwydir says, have been
cheated out OF their lands by unscrupulous
white men; many of them are unable to
support themselves; they belong on no
reservation. and the government has here
tofore made no provision for their main
tenance. While in Washington the major
explained the condition of these Indians
to the authorities and recommended that
they be- placed on a reservation. As above
stated, he asked for and received $500 to
alleviate their needy condition for the
present. He also secured $500 for the
Kootenai Indians.

1t is said that the bigamy business was

the most splendid scenery in the world
and in one of the healthiest portions
Of the country, and it may be doubt

if he were outside with several wives

Strange as it may appear, several of
the long time convicts, whose time had
expired, left the camp with regret, and
would have stayed if they had been
allowed to. In the captains office a
very intelligent looking negro, with
striped garments on, seemed to be tax
ing care of the place. While 1 sat OH
the porch in front of the office, the
captain being absent giving instruc-
tions about the dinner to be sent to
the men who were working ON the
railroad, the little child of the cap
tain, five or six years old, very pretty
and with very fair hair, toddled in
| tried to scrape up an acquaintance
but the baby would have nothing to
do with me. 1t ran instead to the
convict and flung itself into his arms.
He picked the child up tenderly, and
with brush and comb began to
straighten the scattered locks of hair.
1t was strange sight to see coal
black negro, convict sent in there
for some crime, fondling the innocent
little child. AS l looked out from the
piazza across tremendous wooded
valley, l saw how easy it would be for
the convict to pick up the child in his
arms and escape over the low fence
into the timber. The guard would
not dare to shoot at him if he held
the baby between him and the loaded
rifle. The cabin was empty, except
as far as the convict and the child was
concerned, and the fence between it
and the forest was not three feet high.
This thought impressed itself so WV
idly upon me that | almost expected
to see the black man make dash
past me and over the fence. But on
looking around saw that the little
child had gone to sleep with its arms
around the convict's neck, and he was
reaching stealthily out for a piece of
gossamer cloth which he spread eau
tiously over the sleeping infant, mur.
muring a low lullaby and rocking it
to and fro.
On the piazza of the next house
stands another convict whom they
call shorty" Shorty, who was as
as black as the ace of spades, sat there
in a rocking chair swaying to and fro
with another baby in his arms. There
are three white families who live in
the camp, the heads of which are Of
