Personal Mention.
Enormous Fruit Yield!

Charles Hoyt, better known as King
"B." was arrested yesterday morning
by Marshal Leland, for selling liquor
to Indians, and was taken before
Judge McConkey at two o'clock in the
afternoon for hearing, and on motion
of attorney for defendant the court
committed him to a bond Of $500 and
postponed the case until Saturday,.
1t is evidently about time that the
people should find out that the sooner
they stop selling intoxicants to the red
men the better, for it is always found
out and they will have to pay the PEN
atty sooner or later.
The old log building on the site
where the new Lewiston National
bank will be built, has all been re-
moved, and Tom Worden who has
charge Of the work, raked up all the
dirt under the building and hauled it
away and will wash it out for the gold
there is in it. The old assay office a
number of years ago was located there
and the dirt is qnite rich. Several
pans of dirt have been washed which
averaged 25c to the pan. George Frost
found an old crucible and took from it
$50 worth of gold, and it is quite prob
able by the time everything is cleaned
up that the amount will reach $3.50 to
$500.
That Lewiston is a great fruit pro-
ducing section no one will deny. But
when we tell you that Mr.. T. s. Bill
lings has gathered Off of three cherry
trees, one hundred and forty gallons OF
cherries this year, you will be more
surprised and perhaps inclined to doubt
this statement. He has but one tree
each of the following varieties, off OF
which the large yield was obtained:
The "May Duke" with yield of sixty
gallons; COX Heart" forty gallons,
and "Royal Ann" forty gallons. Not
only has the yield been so enormous,
but the cherries will average an inch
in diameter-many measuring an inch
and almost half. He has disposed OF
all that he could spare at SOC per gallon
Marshall Leland arrested q young
squaw last Friday evening for drunk
eness, who was arraigned before Judge
McConkey and fined, including costs
$14.OO. She having only $1,000 at the
time, paid it over and promised to re
turn the next day and pay the remain
der, if the court would allow her to g
home. This the court did; and while
on her way home she met her father
and wanted four dollars-telling wha
for. The father refused, and brought
the squaw back to the officials an(
asked that she pay her fine by laying
in Jail awhile, and that he would TAX
back the money paid, as it was his. Th'
court couldn't zee the econ Omy IN this
so satisfied themselves with what hat
been paid and let the prisoner go.
The closing exercises of the st Alloy
sius Academy occurred last evening
at their school hall. The program con
t sisted of a drama entitled Reverse Q
, the Medal" choruses, solos, duets, etc
, Each pupil had their respective part
perfectly memorized so that there wa
, nothing to embarrass any of the partit
ipants or to mar the evenings perform
ance in any way. They showed tha
their instructors had taken the creates
care in assigning to each of them suits
BILE parts and were likewise as carefl
! to see that they rendered them promptl
! and with credit. The broom drill b
2 nineteen large girls was one of the mo-
I attractive and interesting parts of th
programme. The marching was goot
Q and the time and movements quit
J., perfect, indeed. The audience was
quiet and appreciative one; no boys
;. children being admitted unless accou
n panied by their parents, which nece
r sarily, Is another commendable featur
Y The Sisters have done and are doing
J. splendid work in the way Of educatir
the young ladies Of Lewiston and tho
t who come from distance, and the 6
Aloyisus Academy is an institute
y which every citizen should and do
Q feel q great interest In, as nothil
r speaks 80 well for . town as go<
q schools. All present paid the close
q Of attention and thoroughly enjoy
d the exercises, and went away with Il
o best wishes for the Sisters and thu
d school, and with . hope that tn
, might be able to attend the closing
next years term.
