SIX Million Bushels of Wheat Estimated
60 BE DESTROYED.

CoLFAx, Oct. 10 Especial. The Palouse
valleys are drowned. aud the harvest pre-
sents pretty gloomy spectacle. The Posi-
lsTELLIeEScER correspondent was fifteen
miles out in the country today, south and
west OF colfax. and tramped through
dozens of fields to ascertain the damage.
Fully half of the standing crop, which
aggregates about 500, goo bushels. is dam
aged beyond recovery, and most of that in
stacks and sacks lying out is totally ruined
for anything but feed. The uncut grain
that is knocked down.is beaten into the
ground or laid so low that the header can
not reach il. The stems are matured, so
there is no possibility Of rising. The
weather las cleared up some, but It rained
hard at intervals today, and indications
are that it will continue showery. This,
following a week of ineessant downpour,
preciudes resumption of the harvest. The
farmers are left in bad fix. Current
prices barely cover expenses, and the loss
of the principal part of the crop adds a
greater burden than many can bear.

ALL WENT BROKE.
The COrWin's Men PLAYED
a Game of Poker.
A Billiard Contest That Was Really
Won by Chance and a FreeZ-
ing Atmosphere.

They played billiards and poker up near
United States revenue cutters and the
sealing vessels, and the result is the Cor
wins crew is dead broke" and the seal
ers' and whalers' men have lots of stories
to tell of phenomenal runs" and
scratches.
The Corwin's men got considerably the
worst of their attempts to Outdraw the
ships bo'sun, and yesterday local ship
ping master received 81 80 on account of a
$3.50 debt when he boarded the cutter TO
make a collection.
The Corwin's men have for many sea-
sons past played "freeze-out" with the ice
bergs of Bering Sea. but this sort of sport
grew monOtonous and they decided to vary
it little by trying to freeze one another
out by means Of full hands and threes.
All lost but the bo'sun, SO 1t is said, and
no debts are now being paid by the seamen
except they be of a very trivial Dature.
But the whalers bad a good time with
their billiard table. II it had not been
for that billiard table on Herschel Island

what to do during the long winter days.

"Ill tell you story of a billiard game"
said another. scratching his head seriously.
There was fellow who claimed TO be an
expert player who wanted to play match
with One-eyed Jack. one OF the gang.
Jack wasn't much of a player. but he
thought he'd try his luck. Nobody would
bet on Jack. All the money was on the
other side. The expert got about thirty
points ahead in the early part of the game,
when suddenly Jack got 'em on the rail.
Click, click. click went the balls, moving
slowly down the cushion. Jack worked
his cue first one way and then the other;
he handled it like an Ives or Roberts.
Bets began to change hands and the eX-
pert's hackers became anxious.

HER HUSBANDS CRUELTY.
Mrs. Larsen Wins Divorce on Her
CrOss-Complaint.

In the divorce suit of Nelson Larsen
versus Annie NJ. Larsen Judge CARRIER
gave judgment yesterday In favor Of the
defendant on her cross-complaint.
Larsen sued bis wife for divorce on the
ground of her habitual intemperance, and
to this charge the wife filed answer con-
tanning several allegations by way OF cross
complaint. She said that since August
her husband had lived apart from her and
had neglected to support either herself or
their infant child. The wife alleged that
she had sustained grievous internal injury
at the time of the birth Of the child, Flor
ence, and that since then she had been sick
and weak and unable to pursue her usual
occupation of dressmaker.
Mrs. larsen said that she had repeatedly
asked her husband to procure medical
attendance, as she thought that an opera
tion ought to be performed, but he had re-
fused with harsh language, and on one
occasion had struck her. her aged mother
was dependent upon her for support and
she was helpless. For the rest Mrs. Lar
sen characterized her husband as rough,
upeducated man, brutal In his manners,
and utterly unfit to take charge either OF
her or of their child.
On these grounds the wife prayed that
divorce be granted to her, with custody Of
the child, $50 a month alimony, 500 doc
tors fee and $3.50 legal expenses. Judge
CARRIER granted .he wife's prayer.

Der of dogs on DR.. Bowhills place. which

his defense by placing his landlady, Mrs.
Adah Dryer, on the stand to show that she
or somebody else had deposited the letter
In the mails, but not Wilson. Wilson ad-
mitted. as he hung his head, that he wrote
the letter, but tried to leave the impression
that the production was due to the disor-
dered condition OF his brains after de-
bauch.
