ludicrous air OF authority placed Sheriff Wool
cry under arrest. The sheriff read the warrant
and Immediately accompanied the coroner to
Justice Neagles court. He was arraigned for
contempt Of court in taking Nordstrom from
the courtroom in defiance OF the ruling of the
justice. Mr.. Mcbride, for Sheriff Woolery,
asked for a change of venue and Justice Neagle,
after little thinking and scratching of his
head, granted the change to Justice Won Tobel's
court The defendant was recognized in
the sum of 500 for his appearance.
The sheriff was then commanded to have his
prisoner, Nordstrom, before Justice Neagle at
1:3o o'clock, aud Attorney Mcbride was cited to
SO abruptly few hours previously, should not
take place before him forthwith.
Att :30 o'clock the sheriff, Nordstrom, Mr.. Nc
Bride, Mr.. Tyler and a large crowd of spec
tators were in the courtroom and everyone ex-
pected a scene. The states attorney moved for
dismissal of the case against Nordstrom on
the ground that he had already been committed
by another justice. Mr.. Tyler objected, and
stated that inasmuch as the court
had jurisdiction and the prisoner was
forcibly removed in contempt of the
courts command that the justice still had juris
diction and should set aside the findings and
proceed with the hearing of the case. Justice
Neagle asked to see the commitment and Sheriff
Woolery produced it. After glancing over it q
moment, Justice Neagie asked the states attor-
ney if he was satisfied to go to trial with the
case as it stood
81 am," said Mr.. Mcbride, sand I'm dead sure
of convicting him."
'wsll," said Justice Neagle, tugging at his
sibeburns, "taking all the facts into considera-
ton l think it best to dismiss the case in this
court"
Attorney Tyler left the courtroom in an angry
frame of mind, telling his client that he would
see him in the morning. After quiet had been
restored Justice Neagle turned to Mr.. Mcbride
and said
"say, Mae, don't you think you owe Us an
apology? feel very badly about this matter of
this morning. think that you did me wrong,
and think you owe US an apology. What do
you think about it?"
"Well, judge" said the attorney "it's just this
way. believe that 1 did right. didn't want
to put the county to any unnecessary expense.
Any thought of showing contempt Tor this court
was very far from my mind, but if have shown
contempt humbly apologize"
"wel, we'll drop the case as it is" summed
up the justice. "Im sorry that it happened. 1t
was largely my fault for l should have acted
summerily."
Hall an hour later Sheriff woolery was before
tempt Justice Won Tobel summarily dismissed
the case on the grounds that he had no iurisdic-
ton for a contempt committed in another court.
During the afternoon Attorney Tyler made
application before Judge Lichtenberg for q writ
of habeas corpus for Nordstrom, but the appli-
cation was denied.

venting the brakes from acting. The brakeman

Another Eastern connection of the Northern
Pacifc-the Wabash line-is about to give up
carrying lumber and shingles at the present
joint rates, rs shown by the following telegram
received yesterday by L A. Nadeau, general
agent of the Northern Pacific, from 5. &. Fulton,
OF Portland, assistant general freight agent:

In explanation of this action Fl. c. Wilson,
soliciting freight agent of the Northern Pacific,
said yesterday:
This shows that the Eastern lines are pulling
out Of the low joint rates on lumber, because
they are too low TO pay the cost OF doing the
business. Their action supports the position
taken by the Northern Pacific that the rate is
already too low When the notice given by the

was blown off the heat square against the
headlight above, forcing it out of its place and
shaking the whole building. Another dead
light was bent upward and the glass was blown
out OF the doorway of the adjoining barber shop.
About half dozen persons, including the two
proprietors, were in the shop and rushed to the
scene of the explosion. They found what little
woodwork was in the vault to be on fire, but
soon extinguished the flames with a bucket of
water.
The officials and clerks of the bank overhead
were shaken up by the conclusion, and rushed
out on the street to see what had happened.
Officer Baur was standing on the sidewalk in
front of the barber shop and made prodigious
leap into the street, then felt himself all over to
see if he was hurt But neither he nor anybody
else was injured, and the damage will all be
repaired by this morning, plumbers being kept
at work all night.

THE GREYHoUND's NEW RUN.
To Port Gardner Instead OF Tacoma-TS
Be Improved and Cleaned.


Tie steamer Greyhound, controlled By Claude
Troup, and owned by the Seattle-Tacoms
Navigation Company, was taken off the pessen-
ger run between Seattle and Tacoma last even
ing and in few days will go on the Port Gard
ner run, leaving Seattle twice q day. She will
be pat on the gridirons for a week, during which
time her bottom will be scraped and reprinted
and extensive repairs made. Her passenger ac-
commodGtion will be improved and ladies'
cabin with easy chairs will be arranged. She
will begin running regularly either next Thurs
day or Friday.
The Greyhound has been reckoned among the
fastest boats on the Sound, the Potter and Bailey
Gatzsrt alone being able to approach her in
speed, and making three trips daily TO Tacoma,
she has had the cream of the business, and is
said to have made $4,000 for the Union Pacific
company during the term OF that corporations
lease. But since the Flyer went ON the Tacoma
run. with her high speed and superior accom-
modations, she has taken away the best OF the
patronage Consequently the Greyhound leaves
the field to her.

A CONCESSION GRANTED.
Canadian Grains May BE shipped Into
and Out of the United States Upon
Certain Conditions.

WASHINGTON. July 25.-The treasury
department is informed that large guam
titles of grain from the province of Mani
toba are shipped via Duluth under tran
sit entries made for the purpose of ia
cilitating the re-entry of grain into Ca
madam territory. 1t is said that at the
time of shipment from Manitoba the des-
t~ination of the grain is unknown and
can be determined only on arrival at Du-
luth. The privilege is desired of re-en-
tering such grain at Duluth
for transportation and expectation
via New York and Boston
in cases where IA market is found for the
grain in Europe. 1t is also represented
that unless this privilege is granted eX
pOrtations must be made from Montreal,
thereby causing serious and unnecessary
injury to the business of American rail
roads.
The difficulties complained of by per
o N affected arise, it is said, from the
construction placed IN a communication
sent by Assistant Secretary Spaulding
to the collector at Duluth May Goth last,
in regard to the diversion in transit of
unappraised merchandise. In the letter
to the collector dated to Ord instant As
sistant Secretary Spaulding says
that after full consideration of
the subject the government
is of the opinion that Canadian grain ar
riying at Duluth in transit may be re-
entered at that port for transportation
and expectation via any port on the At
lantic seaboard in the same manner as
though imported at Duluth directly
from Canada whenever it is the desire of
owners of grain or their authorized rep
resentatives that this be done. Instruc-
tions of May 20 have been modified ac-
cordingly, with the distinct understand
ing, however, that such modification ap-
plies solely to grain arriving under the
above stated conditions.

4 TERRIBLE CIOUD-BIKST.
A Town of Nevada Almost swept Away
by the Flood.

by the Flood.
CARSON. New, July pa thunder
storm Friday came near wiping out the
mountain town of Genoa. About 3 d. III.
a cloud burst near where a big snow
slide occurred years ago. In a few mo
ments a great flood Of water came down
separate canyons, sweeping everything
before it. When the first alarm was
given women and children hurried to
safer quarters through the rain, carrying
babies In their arms. From Genoa can
yon the water rushed down in IA single
column twenty feet high. carving logs
and powders with it. 1t struck -. w.
brakes undertaking shop and swept it
away. The water made a clean sweep
from Snowslide canyon. leaving rocks
bare and dashing over the base of the
mountain.
The stream from Snowslide canyon
finally struck that from Genoa CANYON.
a part of brakes ranch was also entirely
obliterated. l.. Fray is the heaviest
loser. His large fiume was entirely
swept away. From the mouth of Genoa
cannon rocks and debris covered much
of the finest meadow and grain land and
a great deal of damage was also entailed
by the loss of crops. At the north of
the town the damage from the School
House canyon was tritiing.
