Little Giant Product.

Geo. Riebold was in the city last

The Waha Tragedy Case.

The preliminary examination of Mrs.
Goddard, charged with killing Siers, at
Waha last month, began last week and
was finished Tuesday in the probate
court of Nez Perez county. Mrs. God
dard was very weak but stood the ordeal
with remarkable comp Jsure. The evil
dence of a number of witnesses was very
damaging, one or two charging that
Ward fired the frsU shot at Siers and
then Mrs. Goddard fired the shots which
caused his death Probate Judge Stock
ey withheld his decision in the case uu-
til the evidence could be endorsed and
prepared for fling. Mrs Goddard will
undoubtedly be held to await the action
of the grard jury. The trial developed
the fact that Siers would have been mar
ried TO Miss Hattie PixIey, of Waha
four days after the date of the tragedy.

The Homestead Law.

The last session of the legislature
passed homestead law, which defines
homestead and provides for selecting the
same, says the Gazette. A homestead
is defined as the dwelling in which the
head of a family resides, and the land on
which 1t is situated, both home and land
not to exceed $4,000 in value. The head
of family is defined IT, mean husband,
wife or some other person wfo has re-
siding with him and under his care or
maintenance a minor, child, brother or
sister, father or mother, grandfather or
grand mother, unable to support hln or
herself. To select a homestead the act
states that the head of the family must
execute ano acknowledge a declaration
in the same manner as grant of real
property, and file the same with the aud
itor. 1t must show ce tain essential
facts that the executor is the head of a
family, and resides on the premises,
which must be described, and an esti-
mate given of their actual cash value,
which must not be in excess of $4,000.
After filing this declaration, the prem
ises selected become homestead and
are not subject to execution, except as
provided by the act.
Auditor John Tobin has prepared the
necessary blanks for the declaration of a
homes tead, and has sent these blank
forms to rotaries public throughout the
county The distribution by the aud
itor was in order to have uniform sys-
tenn adopted in this county.
In conversation with reporter Mr..
Tobin called attention to one phase of
the law, as interpreted by many lawyers,
of great Importance to the people. Ac-
cording to many lawyers the intention
of the law is to compel the fling of a

At last an authoritiys expression from

exact status of Indian affairs, and no un-
necessary delay will be experienced in
the opening of the Nez Perece Reserya-

To Explore the Clearwater Region.

The advance OF the government ex-
ploring party arrived in Lewiston last
night. 1t is the intention to put large
party of soldiers and scientists in the
upper Clearwater region to remain all
summer engaged IN investigating the
resources of that land of promise. The
advent of this strong force of men with
the soldiers of the government behind
them has been awaited with interest by
parties of prospectors who wish to profit
by their discoveries. The region is a
wilderness and the season for prospect
ing is very short. 1t is supposed that
the soldiers will find the river fords and
cut trails through the ju' giles and ac-
couplish things that small prospecting
parties cannot do.-Lewistou Teller.

A MURDER MYSTERY
MISS OLIVE CARLTON MURDERED
AT DETROIT,
Robbery Was the Motive, Hut All
Traces of tho Victims Body
and Her Assassin Lost.

Chicago, Oct. 25.--News has reached
Chicago of the murder in or near De-
troit Of Miss Olive Carlton. a sister-in-
law of Edwin r. Holmes. who has a
residence in this city.
Mr.. Holmes is wealthy lumberman
engaged in business at osceoda, Mich,
where he makes his home most of the
time. His daughters, however, live in
the residence in this city. which for
merly was presided over by their aunt
Miss Carlton was murdered Septem-
Der ". but the mystery attending her
disappearance. which her brother-in-
law has been investigating for the last
three weeks. has just been cleared up.
only to bring forward a new mystery
as to who the murderer was. The rob-
berry OF about $500 In money and a gold
watch which she carried furnished tho
motive. The Michigan authorities and
the Chicago police are now at work on
the clews existing, which furnish a
slight basis to work upon In view OF the
time which has elapsed between the
murder and its discovery.
The victim of the murderous robbers
left Michigan for Chicago on the after
noon ON September is. At Detroit Miss
Carlton was obliged to have her bag
gage transferred and re-transferred
and to purchase ticket for the re-
mainder OF her journey to Chicago.
This necessitated her going from the
Brush street depot TO the Michigan
Central station in Detroit. and after
visiting the latter place all trace of her
movements Is lost.
That she reached the Michigan Cen
trial station in safety is certain from
the fact that her baggage came
through to Chicago. But where that
baggage is now is the most mysterious
part of what promises TO be remark
able case.
The location OF this baggage or the
finding out of the disposition that was
made of It after Its arrival in this
city might lead to the apprehension
OF the assassins. With a boldness that
stamps them OF the most daring type,
they. or the one, II no more, were con-
oenrned, to all appearances, followed
the baggage to Chicago after having
made away with Its owner. At any
rate some ON In Chicago took POSSESS
ion of It by means OF the checks taken
from the pocket of the murdered wo-
man. This is the only valuable Glue
thus far discovered by which to fol-
low up the mystery.
