While this conversation was going
on there arrived at the sanitarium 4
sheriff's posse. Among them was the
deputy who had escaped when the
house was surrounded. The doctor
was now in charge of the place and no
obstruction was offered to their en-
trance. They were led by the sheriff
of Upton county, a grim and grizzly
veteran. known as Clip Davis, who had
a wide reputation as fighter. and he
brought a pocketful of warrants.
The doctor expressed his entire SYM
pathy with their purpose, denounced
Hendricks rs an outlaw and offered to
aid the officers in any way in destroy
ing the gang. He placed the house at
their disposal. treated them Hospitality
and gave it as his opinion that Hen
bricks and his men had gone east.
The old sheriff was suspicious, blunt
and unceremonious. You've got 4

The doctor smiled-remarl5ed that
that would be rather rough treatment
for innocent people and then asked the
sheriff to drink.

by the secret service of the govern

intimation that the forces OF society
had in some way put facts enough to-
Sether to warrant an intelligent at
tempt TO run him down Whatever
theory these officers had been working
on had been summarily frustrated by
Hendricks taking them both prisoners.
He had. with his usual quickness of
decision, summed up the whole chain Of
consequences. Their mission was a

department knew OF it. but their dis

County Commissioner Ellis, like his
boon friend Mcdonald. involved in
an Affair A Sensational and

RATHdRUM, Sept. ia serious
shooting affray occurred here last

principal actors in the tragedy are
County Commissioner George EEL

and in order to help along Mrs
Brigger keeps boarding house.
Mr.. Ellis has made Rathdrum his
stopping place for some time past,
and was lodger at the Bigger
place.
When seen by your correspond
ent this morning he stated that he
had gone to bed about 8 o'clock in
the evening. About II o'clock he
was awakened by commotion and
voices in adjoining rooms used by
the Brigger family. Brigger was
smashing things generally, and
apparently doing or threatening to
do violance to his wife, and making
threats to kill everybody in the
house.
Shortly alterward Brigger came
to his door and tried to break it on
en-, saying that he had gun and
would do him (Ellis) up. Mr..
Ellis called to him to keep out, but
at a second attempt by Bigger, the
door give way, and Brigger rushed
into the room. when he reached
the bed Ellis fired and Brigger
staggered out of the room saving.
Pm shot. My God, you have done
it now" He walked around a few
moments in the hall and then fell.
DR.. Wenz was Immediately sent
for and it was found that the bullet
had entered the neck below the ear,
and ranged downward, but could
not be found. The wounded man
is still alive, but there are small
hopes of his recovery.
Mr.. Ellis give himself up and is
now in the costody of the sheriff
awaiting the result of the shooting.
He claims the shooting was in self
defense.
All sorts of rumors are float as
to the cause leading up to the shoot
ing; however, nothing definite will
be known until an investigation by
the proper officers is made.
The preliminary trial took place
before Judge White at A p. M, who
bound Ellis over under $1,000
bonds. Ellis was unable to furnish
the bonds at late hour and was

A LOCAL ROUNDUP
The Precinct Primaries are held and
strange Combinations Appear. OFF
for the Mines. Social and Local
News of the week.

Mr. Ignatz We'll and wife stop
ped over here last Tuesday on their
way to the Continental mine in the
Priest Lake district. They took
the steamer from here to Rykert's.
from where they will take horses
and go up the trail They are ac-
companied by VIM. Huston, Wells
partner and the discoverer of the
mine. The tunnel is now in 1875
feet on the lead and the claim is
looking better than at any time
since the wonderful surface show
ing was discovered. We under
stand that they are now on richer
ore than has ever yet been found
on the ledge. Mr.. We'll owns a
controlling interest in the mine and
is going to take a look at it and de-
eide on future operations. Mrs.
We'll will share with him the hard
ships Of the clinsysdp the slope,
over an uncertain trail to the
mines. They will return on Tues

The republican primaries last
Tuesday resulted in the nomination
of Henry L. Carlton for constable
and Judge darkness and James e.
Dolan for justices. Carlton and
Harkness had an easy fight, but
John Sehaver ran Dolan a close
race, the vote standing 21 to %.
AT the democratic primaries, James
e. Dolan was endorsed for Justice
and t. ]. Patterson was nominated
for the other. Lew Boyaker was
nominated for constable over Tom
Logan by vote of II to 9. The
on Saturday, endorsed
James r. Dolan for justice and put
up G. O'Callahan for the other man
while Chas. Cole was put up for
constable.
Elsewhere will be found the
announcement of Tom Logan as an
independent canidate for constable
in this precinct. Tom claims that he
did not get a square deal at the
democratic primaries and says he
does not intend to stand their
works.
Judge Carlton is still confined |
to his room, and has been having
quite serious time of it. He has
been laid up for three weeks now,
and suffered severly all that time.
He is improving slowly and we
hope to see him out soon.
