That Pistol Fight.

The pistol fight between Raymond
Prefer and [. |. Hughes which occurred
last Friday has been the all absorbing
topic of conversation during the week
and it ia very evident that the sym
pathv of the public is with young Pref
fer, says the Palouse News. He has al
ways been such steady, quiet, peace
able, industrious and good natured boy,
that he has made hosts of friends who
declare that he would not have made
the assault unless goaded to desperation
by the insults which Hughes heaped up
on him and his mother and sister. Peo-
pile argue that man has right to use
a pistol in defense of his body and should
have an equal right to use one in de-
feLse of his reputation. Dozens If
prominent citizens say shat they would
shoot a man like dog who gave them
equal provocation. Prefer will have no
trouble in proving his good character,
for nearly every citizen of Palouse is
ready to go upon the witness stand and
swear that the defend ant has lived a
most exemplary life.
Mr.. Hughes was released upon his
own recognizance AMI went out to the
house of friend between here and Col
fax. His wounds are not giving him
any serious trouble.
The preliminary examination occurred
today before Justice Northrup. Deputy
Sessions appeared for the prosecution
and A. A. Wilson for the defense. Mr..
Hughes was not present. After several
witnesses for the state had testified the
defense waived examination and the de-
fendapt was bound over in the sum of
$1,000. He will be arraigned before
the superior court and enter mis- plea on
the 18th of this montL.

Fruit is All Right.

Traitors at home or enemies abroad
are industriously circulating the report
that the fruit is killed in the Clearwater
valley, while on Snake river the yield
will be the most abundant ever known.
The Spokesman Review gives the widest
possible circulation to these false re-
ports of our misfortune and to the fruit
association stock dealers boom reports
of the Snake river district. We have no
fear of comparison with Snake river or
chards. but we object to the unfair work
of Jealous neighbors and the false report
designingly published by them. We do
not believe that any ''promineno fruit
grower Of Lewiston" sends out the re-
port that our tender fruits have been
seriously damaged for the reason that
there are no grounds for such report.
The apricots are as large as marbles and
the trees are already bending under
their loads, This variety of fru is the
most susceptible to frost of all other
kinds, even being blighted sometimes
by cold wind. Almonds are more ten
der but are not cultivated extensively.
Even this fruit is free from damage this
season, and Mr.. Vessels has figs which
have not yet been damaged by frost.
The prospect for peach crop is the best
ever known at this season of the year

so doing when the wheels dropped off
the bridge the reach on which he was
riding broke and the break rope attached
TO the front bolster brought 1t back with
such force that he was rendered uncon-
scions for some time. Mr.. Randall, tie
gentleman whom he met went to his
assistance and finding his condition SER
ious drove to Cornwall as quickly as
possible and returned with assistance,
when he was made as comfortable as
possible until the passenger train came
along when he was put aboard and
brought to Moscow. The Injuries re-
ceived from the blow we're very severe
and il was feared he had sustained in
ternal injuries but at last accounts was
getting along nicely. The team ran
away when the accident occurred and
we're not caught until one of the horses
was badly cut in wire fence and the
front part of the wagon somewhat
broken up.

They Walked Home,

The young people from Latah, who
visited Rosalia last Sunday, or rather
two of the three couples, met with quite
a serious mishap on their way home.
The night being dark they got off the
road and upset their carriage throwing
the occupants out and causing the horses
to run away. One of the horses was cut
pretty bad by wire fence and the other
run the neck yoke into it's breast, seri-
ously, if not fatally, injuring it. The
young people managed to find their way
to Mr.. S. Riggs house where they re-
manned all night and secured a team
Monday morning from Mr.. Riggs to
take them home. -Rosalia Reporter.

Planting Corn,

With hundreds of acres of corn being
planted all over the western part of the
county, thousands of acres of fax in the
southern and western parts of the coun-
ty, very largely increased acreage of
rye, oats and barley reported from all
sections, 5000 acres of potatoes. young
orchards growing up on every side, large
numbers of hogs being raised all around
us, all kinds of fruits, grasses and veg
etables being tested by hundreds of
farmers, there seems to be little demand
for further instructions for our farmers
in regard to diversifying their crops

Returning Prosperity.

The cheering news is sent out that
the farmers in the Palouse country have
lessened the acreage seeded to wheat to
about 70 per cent. of what it was last
year, says the Genesee News. Many
have resorted to diversified farming in
hopes of improving their condition.
The raising of hogs has become quite
general among the more thrifty class
and the thousansd of dollars which have
gone abroad yearly for ham, bacon, lard,
etc, will cease. This turn of affairs
cannot but greatly benefit this section.
The dairy interests have also received a
boom and in the course of another two
years Iowa and Minneapolis creamery
butter will be hard to find in our mar
kets. And the farmers yearly store
bill will hereafter be under 500 where
formerly it was $500 or more. All this
is in our favor. Prosperity is returning
now.

Shipped Train Load of Cattle.

A train load of stock cattle was loaded
here yesterday by Frank Robson, says
the Garfield Enterprise. They are des-
tined for Montana range. The greater
part Of them we're bought by Daling
Bros. upon commission.
On the same day Mr.. Robson started
a train load from Unlontown. He has
shipped during the past week four train
loads of cattle from this section. Other
buyers have also been IN the field. In
the last month or six weeks II or Is
train loads of stock cattle have been
shipped out over the Spokane & Palouse
road bound for Montana where they will
be turned out on the range. Besides
this great number of stock cattle there
have hem shipped from the same section
this season some 700 head of fat cattle.
Although this looks big, Duling Bros,
who are authc ritv on this subject, say
there has not been as many cattle
shipped out of this section yet as there
was last season,
