A TRAIN WRECK
a Freight goes through the Long Tres.
tie, three miles east of town.

Last Wednesday morning an
east bound extra freight went
through the long trestle about three
miles west Of town. The accident
occurred about the middle of the
bridge and sixty feet or more of the
structure gave away. The tender 10
the engine and thirteen freight cars
went down thirty feet to the water
below. None of the train men were
injured, but there were six tramps
aboard, two of whom were killed
and the other four injured. OF the
dead, the body of one has been re-
covered. The other is known to be
under the debris. The four others
were rescued by chopping in the
top OF a box car and releasing them
from their perilous position. Their
escape from death by being crushed
or drowned was miraculous.
Trains were delayed about 48
hours. The wreckage has been
pretty we'll cleared up. The cars
were loaded with lumber, except
one car of flour and one of merch-
andise.
That the engine did not go down
was a mystery. Paul Logan, the
engineer, says the first i'm
preston he had of danger was the
cracking of timbers and the feeling
of his engine sinking. He pulled
the throttle wide open. 1t trembled
On the verge for moment, then
broke loose from the tender and
shot ahead. The tender and thir-
teen cars went down. The engine
certainly must have hung over the
ragged edge.

The republican convention at
Rathdrum last Wednesday was a
one-sided affair. The ring run the
convention and named every can
didate. The following is the ticket
nominated:
Joint Senator'S. B. Wright.
Representatives,. A. Crane.
Sherif-Wm. Ryan.
Clerk-Robert S. Bragaw.
Assessor. p. Quarrels.
Treasurer-Frank 0. Hill.
Probate Judge-Henry Melder.
Surveyor-Wm. Ashley.
Coroner-John Sabin.
Commissioners:
lst District-N. r. Parmenter.
2nd District-Otis F. Warren.
Sd District-Arthur Ball.
The delegates to the state conven-
ton are: A. A. Crane, J. T. Scott,
Geo. A. Manning, G. L. Heitman,
1. We'll, 0. G. Smith, S. e. Henry
). A. Ball and Monroe Daggett.
The resolutions endorse Willis
Sweet for senator, but make no en-
dorsement for governor. McCon-
nell probably has majority of the
delegate, but Scott, Manning and
Daggett will fight the governors
denomination to the bitter end.
A. A. Crane was elected temper
airy chairman over Maj. Manning by
vote of 27 to 19. Mr.. Crane was
elected permanent chairman over
DIR. Wenz by the same vote.
The Clarke faction was there
with their IS votes solid, but Bra
gaw captured 2 votes from the
north end which only left 5 for
Clarke, or % in all. The result
was that our delegates had to go in
with the ring to accomplish any
thing. 4 north end delegates join
ed the 2 pledged-Ball and Aber-
nathy-and went to the ring and
Brown of Leonia-joined Clarke.
This made the relative strength of
the two factions q to 10, and the
ring held the combination together
throughout.
The HERALD will next week give
its reader the benefit of some of the
inside workings of the convention
and the revelations will be both
startling and amusing.

LEVI WAS FOXY.
New and Unique Method of Raising Fl.
nancisl Breeze.

Among the culrrits in the dock OF Judge
Kimpall's court yesterday was foxy-looking
colored youth named Levi Dunmore. who is
apparently destined to make his mark in the
under strata OF crime.
Lewis funds gave out. and he struck upon
n new and novel method of raising fnan-
cial breeze. HIS first move was to steal
pair of shoes from some store unknown to
the police. He then took one Of the shoes to
a cobbler in East Washington and requested
him to make a mate for it, as the original
mate had been lost.
The shoemaker at once set to work to I'LL
the nrder. Levi took the other shoe to an
other shop and left similar instructions.
When the shoes were finished he went TO
cobbler No. l and requested permission to
take the pair ''around the corner" to his
home in order to see if they would fit his aged
father. for whom they had been purchased.
The shoemaker became suspicious and
quietly sent for Policeman r. S. Kelly. of the
Fifth precinct When the officer arrived he
questioned Levi, who refused to show the way
to his home, and finally said he had bought
the shoes from an unknown colored boy for
25 cents.
The officer locked the boy up and then To-
Gated the other shoe. In the police court
Judge Kimball commented on the boys zeal
in irving to make two pairs of shoes from a
single pair, and sent him to the chain gang
for thirty days as suspicious character.
