larger yariet ties of fish.

GARFIELD WHEAT POOL.

The chief subject of interest for
several days has been the expected
sale of a pool of approximately
100000 bushels of wheat which was
pooled by the Farmers warehouse
companies of Garfield and Farming
ton says the Garfield Enterprise.
In the interests Of the sale Man
ager J. c. Lawrence made a trip to
Portland, returning Wednesday.
He found but little life in the mar
ket and an inclination on the part
of exporters to fight shy of large
buys. Several buyers came to Gar
field and it was finally decided to
accept bids to be opened yesterday
afternoon. 1t was done and all
bids rejected, as they were only
about on par with the general
market. The bid Of the Tacoma
Grain Company was not opened for
reasons that are variouSly inter
preted. The warehouse company
claim that the bid was not submit
ted in accordance with the terms
of the proposed sale while Mr.. Bib
claims that he offered TO make it so.
At any rate the sale seems to be off
for the present.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

"There is a man sleeping in the
alley" were the words of the French
cook at the Collins House Sunday
morning as he spoke to some Of his
helpers in the kitchen, says the
Advocate. AS the ground was COW
cred with frost and the night was
icy cold, it was hardly thought that
anyone would have chosen the
alIeYway for a couch, and investi-
cation revealed the fact that it was
one Of the dodgers, by the name of
c.. L. Wilson.
There is a small porch in the
rear of the Collins Hotel building
projecting from the second story
floor which is used principally as a
place on which to dry clothes.
Wilson, who it seems was a little
under the influence of intoXicants,
got up in the night and wandered
out on this landing from which he
fell to the ground, a distance of
about sixteen feet, striking the
ground head foremost and render
ing him unconscious. His hip was
crushed and he also received inter
nal injuries as well as being bruised
up bodily. He fell from the porch
about two o'clock in the morning
and was not discovered until about
five o'clock, having suffered terribly
in the meantime with the cold. He
wac taken to the hospital and at
latest accounts was resting easily
with good signs of recovery.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1895-11-09

rear of the building. The front
door was then pried open from the
inside to provide an avenue of es-
cape at either end. It is very gen
orally believed that it was the work
of home talent.
Some scoundrel put in a busy
night at Elberton Saturday night.
At least three houses were entered
and others attempted and it is
known that the operations begun
about 10 o'clock and lasted we'll
toward morning. The residence OF
Anderson Long was entered and
$11S.65 stolen. Of this amount
$1O4.25 was taken from the trouser
pockets of Mr.. Long and $40
from j. O. COPYRIGHT VINO CHANGED
to be visiting Mr. Long.
The same night ID. b. Throop
was awakened by a gentle nudge
from his better half who thought
she heard some one in the house.
Denny thought it was imagination
and was almost asleep again when
Mrs. Throop awoke him the second
time and insisted that she was not
mistaken. Mr.. Throop struck a
match and at that instant a man
got up from behind d rocking chair
where he had been crouching, " it'll
in arms length of the bed. Denny
told him, Get out of this, you SON
of-a-gun," and the son-of-a gun
said, "Well, all right in a very
gruff voice and glided as silently as
a ghost, so far as his feet were con-
cerned, but he kept grumbling to
himself as though he thought he
was not receiving fair treatment.
He had not yet got his hands into
Denny's trousers pockets.
The house Of Jacob Edwards was
also entered but nothing was taken.
The burglar is no doubt the same
one that has been operating in Gar
field and Pennington recently.

LEWISTON'S RAILROAD.

AS the season called spring Is yet
quite while off it ought to be per
fectly safe to give a little railroad
news that is not of the perennial
order, says the Lewiston Tribune.
A few simple explanations may
make the matter clearer The
Northern Pacific railway is now
being operated by the various
United States sourts in whose res
pective Jurisdictions the different
portions of the road lie. The Spo
kane and Palouse branch Cor that
portion of it which is in Idaho) is
operated by the United States cir
cult court for Idaho, which is pre-
sided over by Judge Beatty. These
federal judges cannot of course per-
sonally attend to the details Of rail
road business, so they select a
trusted expert to act for them who
is called the receiver. The receiver
is only the agent of the court.
Judge Beatty is the court and Re
ceiver Burleigh is his agent. A few
DAYS ago Judge Beatty, who is now
holding court at Moscow, stated to
a prominent attorney of Lewiston
that he had to 60 to Lewiston as
soon as he could adjourn court, con
a matter" he said, that may be of
much greater significance to your
city than you now suppose" Judge
Beatty placed no seal of privacy on
his remarks, and continuing said
that the purpose Of his visit to Lew
iston was at the request Of Receiver
Burleigh, who desired to complete
the Lewiston extension and in or
der to do so he first had to get the
approval and authority of the court
Judge Beatty and it was to see
whether conditions justified the
building of the extension that
caused his visit. Judge Beatty will
come to Lewiston as soon as the
Moscow term of the federal court Is
concluded and will then inspect the
railroad grade and properties here,
as we'll as investigate our CONNER
cial status and prospects, and if
they are satisfactory he will author
ize Receiver Burleigh to complete
the extension.

A Peculiar Charge.

Tho Kansas City Star, Feb. 2, con
tains the following concerning for
mer resident of this city. Mr.. Davis
was known here rs a young man Of
the strictest integrity and the highest
character and there is probably some
mistake or some Matchmaking scheme
connected with the arrest:
Deputy United States Marshal T..
W. Vaughan arrested j. Il. Davis at
Slater, Mo-, and brought him to this
city this morning. Davis was indict-
ed by the last federal grand jury rs
being implicated in the removal OF a
letter containing check from the
Slater postollice. The letter was ad-
dressed to party named Scott, and
the check 1t contained was cashed by
j. G. Younger, a relative Of the noted
outlaws Of the same name. How the
check came into his possession he re-
fused to tell, and was tried on the
charge Of robbing the United States
mail ut the last term Of the federal
court and convicted. lie Is now in
the penitentiary. Davis father is
postmaster at Slater, and employed
his son in the office. He was clerk
there at the time the letter containing
the check mysteriously disappeared.
Commissioner Peabody fixed his bond
at $1,000 and he was allowed to 20
home to procure signatures to ii,
