OPALS AND GOLD,
Beautiful Specimens From the
Mines on Salmon River.

MaueS on Salmon Ktcer.
Spokane Review.
The Keith brothers from Dou-
macq plains, on the Salmon river,
near its confluence with the Snake,
arrived yesterday. They had a
large number of opals taken from
the mines recently discovered there.
These mines are attracting opal
hunters, and already large num-
Der of claims have been staked out.
The opals are splendid specimens,
and one fine opal shown The
Spokesman-Review was partic-
ularly handsome. There are
several Spokanites in that section
on opal mines, and some are put
ting in excellent time at placer
mining. A nugget of gold was
panned out recently weighing nine
ounces. This has caused big
influx of placer miners to that sec
ton of Idaho.

DAsTARDLY MURDER AT LAVA.
Pat McNamara Assassinated by Chas.
Perry--The Crime Unexplained
in ldaho's Criminal History.

Pat Mcnamara, q man well known
in this county as a ranchman and
stockraiser, was cruelty murdered in
his home at Laya, Monday night The
alarm Was given at 5 a. m, Tuesday,
and Sheriff Sullivan with Coroner
Steely and several others, repaired at
once to the scene. The only informa-
tion obtained in regard to the murder,
was gathered from the very contradic-
tory testimony of one Charles Perry,
who came from Hot Springs, Utah,
last Friday and was employed as cook
by Mr.. Mcnamara.
Perry testified that at ii o'clock,
Monday night, two men came to the
house, and knocked for sdmittance
and that he got up and went to the
window and inquired what they want
ed. They replied, "None Of your bus
mess, and forced the door open. At
this point Mcnamara, who had been
sleeping in another room, hobbled in
on crutches, (he had been cripple in
the hospital some months) when one
of the men knocked him down with
hatcbet and beat his head to a pulp.
The only words spoken during this
time were from Mcnamara, who said;
Don't kill me, Bill. After the deed
was done, Perry says the two men put
the body in a closet and started to
clean up the blood in the room, and
then they took him east on the o. S. L.
track seven miles, to where they had
horses hitched. After warning him
Perry to leave the country at once,
they rode Off Perry, in company with
the sheriff, failed to find the place
where he said the horses were hitched,
and an examination revealed blood
stains on his undershlrt and pants.
The evidence of Perry being so con-
Trajectory and almost self-convicting,
Sheriff Sullivan placed him under
arrest, charged with the murder Of
Pat Mcnamara. The evidence pre-
sented before the coroner's jury point
ed almost conclusively to the guilt Of
the accused.
Mr.. Mcnamara was a man without
an enemy, so far as we can learn, and
had hosts of friends. No probable
motive for the crime is known.-POca-
