UNDER AN AVALANCHE
Cabins Crushed Beneath Thou
sands of Tons of Snow.
A Number of People Known to Have
Been Overtaken and Killed
by the Slide.

SPOKANE, Wash, March 29.-As a re-
suit of two great snowsides on Canyon
Creek. in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains.
to-day. three families. consisting alto
gether of from twelve to fourteen persons.
are mangled and bruised beneath thou
sands of tons of snow. and any possibility
of any of them being rescued alive is out
of the question. Snow has accumulated
ON the mountains to depth of fully sixty
feet, and the late rains caused the huge
mass to move at several places.
AT an early hour to-day a section of
snow 300 feet in length. near the Black
Bear mine. became detached and started
down the steep mountainsids at terrible
pace, and before the inhabitants OF the
cabins in the path of the slide could flee
the mighty avalanche was upon them.
Trees were torn up by the roots and bowl
ders carried along with mighty force, the
whole shaking the earth as if an earth
quake was in progress. Two families,
whose names could not at this writing be
learned, together with their homes, were
caught and carried along with the slide
ana buried out of sight at the bottom OF
the canyon. Others unaccounted for are
also believed to have been killed.
Soon after the first slide took place an
other avalanche occurred further up the
canyon, near Burke. and here further ia
talities are reported. A family named
ChilsOn, consisting of father, mother and
three children, heard the avalanche CON-
ing. Picking up the children the frantic
parents attempted to flee to a place of
safety, but before they had gone fifty yards
they were overtaken by the resistless
mass of snow and crushed to death.
Rescuing parties have started for the
scene from Wallace, Burke and Mullan by
special trains and every effort will be
made to rescue alive those buried beneath
the snow. but the probability is that all are
dead. Further slides are feared and the
people living along the canyon are moving
to places of safety.

More Sensations Furnished in the
Heath Trial.

FRESNO, March 29.-The trial of the
Heath case to-day was series of sensa-
tiOns all the way through. The defense
attacked the evidence Of S. S. Culver and
j. w. Crow with half dozen witnesses,
including Max Frankenau of Sanger, to
show that at the time the former said
Heath thrust pistol in his face and
threatened to take his life because he in
timated that Heath had some knowledge
of the murder, and also said be made state
ments damaging TO himself at the Grand
Central Hotel. Heath. in fact, was at NJ.
B. Curtis vineyard. fourteen miles east of
this city.
The evidence of Judge NJ. K. Harris ana
Reel b. Terry was put in rebuttal of the
statements of Mrs. Cora Palmer, whose
testimony has been the greatest sensation
in the case. Their denial of what she
stated was complete and irreconcilable
Herewith. At one time in the cross-exam-
inatiOn Mr.. johnson endeavorrd to enter
into full recapitulation of all the charges
made against Judge Harris and Terry. but
the court made an arbitrary ruling that
shut out al least half dozen columns of
choice reading matter. consisting of an
assorted lot Of facts, charges. rumors and
scandal.
Mrs. Norton. who resided near the scene
of the murder. gave evidence looking to
the rehabilitation of the suicide theory.
The progress of the case has been very
rapid. The court took an early adjourn
ment 10 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning,
and It seems that the end of the evidence
is close at hand. 1t is not announced
whether the defendant will be put on the
stand.
Considerable interest was manifested
when Judge II. K. Harris was called to
the stand. and necks were craned to get
sight of him and to better hear his testi-
mony. Nothing the prosecution wanted
came out, for the court ruled steadily
against the attorney for the people. The
witness acknowledged that he and Nc
Whirter were enemies. On the night Nc
Whirter was murdered Harris and Reel
Terry slept together at Terry's house.
They did not hear of the murder till early
the next morning. The prosecution was
tied down so closely that very little could
be learned on crOss-exsmination. Reel
Terry's testimony was similar to Harris,
and the prosecution was again prevented
from inQuiriDg too deeply into his feeling
toward aud utterauces against McWhirter
by rulings Of the court.

Buy At HOME.

Too much money is sent out of
this section for the necessities of
life that could be bought here at
the same prices and the money
kept at home. 1t isn't much won
der that we are seeing hard times,
when it is considered that there is
q continual stream of money sent
to the East for nearly everything
that is needed by the farmer,
stockman and mechanic. Money
thus sent out of the country never
finds its way back again, as would
be the case if spent with our home
merchants. 1t goes to st. Louis,
Chicago or some other city in the
east, and none of it stays here to
pay the taxes, to build houses,
churches and schools, to keep me-
chanics, clerks and laborers at
work. or to in any manner assist in
the advancement of the communi-
TVS interests. There is wrong
principle and a decided injury back
of this. The local merchants here
to bear his share of the burdens of
local and county government; he
is here to furnish the means to
keep consuming laborers employed,
he is here to help the farmer and
carry his credit when heis pinched;
he is here to buy the produce ofthe
farm, the dairy, the garden and the
orchard, he is one Of a great crowd
that goes to make up prosperous
section of country, and he-the
home merchants entitled to
home patronage Even if prices
for distant goods are little cheap
er, by the time postage, expressage
and freight on the goods is paid, it
brings the prices up to about the
same as at home. The nearer
home man can and will trade the
better. Your home merchant is
responsible and can rectify any
mistakes that may occur. Youcan
see him as often as you please; he
won't press you in misfortune or
distress; he is your friend every
day in the year as well as the day
you buy from him; he is your
neighbor and his interests are
yours. When the oily tongued
agent for those distant houses
comes along, tell him you have
merchants right here at home who
keep better goods than he carries
and that you propose to keep your
money circulating at home. That
is good maxim to adopt for every
other line Of trade as well.

Woman's Rights.

The fight in Kentucky is over and
Breckinridge is downed. Owens beats
him in the district by handsome ma
iority, and Breckenridge takes his defeat
philosophically and says he will support
the democratic nominee. The fight is q
peculiar one in many respects, the most
striking of which is that the women OF
the district took sides with their sister
as against their betrayer. In this re-
spect the case is decidedly unique. 1t
has been truly said thousands Of times
that man may be guilty OF offenses
against morality and nothing win be
thought of it; but a woman who once
steps aside is condemned forever. As a
great Irish orator put it, Virtue, like
an umbrella, once lost is gone forever. !"
This is prominently true. The man is
forgiven, the woman damned for all
eternity. The worst is that however
much the men might be disposed to lift
her up and reclaim her, the women are
her judges and executioners. Woman
has the correction of this evil in her
own hands, and when she treats both
parties to an offense as she does the
woman there will be less Of it.
Breckinridge's defeat was due to the
women of Kentucky, and what they
have accomplished there at the polls,
when they could not vote, they can also
accomplish at the social bar, where they
can. When women take the stand they
have in Kentucky there will be fewer
Breckinridges, and surely it is high time
that they refuse longer to submit to the
one-sided judgment Of society that dis
tinguishes between the offenses against
the moral code on account of sex. The
women of Kentucky have made move
in the right direction, and they should
cultivate the habit.-Dalles Chronicle.
