Lone Highwayman Is Operating
in Southern Idaho.
is VERY EVIDENTLY A NOVICE
Seven Thousand Dollars in the Mail
Sacks, but the Express Box Was
Not Aboard.

Boise, Aug. 10.-A lone highwayman
Delamar stage Thursday night. but
there were no treasure box aboard that
trip and he failed of his purpose. The
stage was ascending the mountain
about five miles from Boonville. about
9 o'clock in the evening. Suddenly a
masked man was observed in the brush
at the side of the road. simultaneously
came the order Halt" The robber had
a revolver in each hand and there was
nothing to do but stop, as the stage was
on sharp up grade Throw down the
box" was the next order. The driver
explained that there was no box on
board. The order was repeated seven
or eight times. The highwayman final
ly ducked off into the brush and the
stage started on.
There were on board the driver, Jake
Miller, Mrs. Goble of Boise, who rode
on the box with the driver, two other
ladies, j. II. Milliene, a travelling man
from San Francisco. and two other
men. The highwayman was following
the stage, being on horseback, and
made cutoff toward the Delamar
road.
At Danville the road branches, one
branch going to Delamar and the other
to Silver City. The stage makes a trans
fer there, loading the Delamar passen-
gers and mail and express on a stage
for that place. Mr.. Milliene was the
only passenger going to Delamar. He
took his seat beside the driver with a
gun in each hand and then they start
ed for their destination. Down the road
a little way they saw freighter
camped. He told them that he had
seen a man answering the description
of the robber and that he got off his
horse a short distance further on. Go
ing past the place where the bandit
was supposed to be on the watch for
the stage, which he probably surmised
would have a smaller number of pas
sengers aboard, they went on the dead
run. Sure enough there was the high
wayman in the bushes, but it was use
less for him to attempt to stop the
flying team. There was no box aboard
the stage Thursday. but there was $4,000
of money for Delamar in the mail and
there was also $1,000 for Silver City. The
regular express shipment went Friday,
$4,000 being in the treasure box. Being
warned by telephone, the stage armed
itself and the bandit would have met
with warm reception If he had APP
peared.

WHISKY TRUST MAY REoReANlzl
sew York Judge NuHifics the Acts of
the Illinois Courts

Ncw York Judge Nuuifics the Acts or
the Illinois Courts
New York. Aug. 1S.-Justice O'Brien
in the supreme court today handed
down a decision denying the motion for
an injunction to restrain the reorgani-
zation committee of the Distilling and
Cattle Feeding Company from purchas-
ing or acquiring the property of the
trust, advertised to be sold tomorrow.
The motion for an injunction was
brought by Frederick w. Annis and
George N Pyncheon, who represent
$4,000 worth of stock in the trust. They
contend that the purchase by the re-
organization company would perpetu-
ate the trust which had been declared
an illegal monopoly by the supreme
court of the state of Illinois. The decis-
ion of Judge O'Brien which is in favor
of the reorganization company. makes
it clear that those stockholders who
do not approve of the committed s
scheme have recourse in law for any in
juries they may sustain.
Louis Marshall of the firm of Gug-
genheimer, Untermeyer & Marshall,
counsel for the plaintiffs, said that
while he expected the injunction res
training the committee from purchas-
ing the property and plant of the whis-
ky trust to have been granted, he was
in no wise discouraged. Further pro-
ceedings will be taken. he said, within
a day or two to prevent the consumma-
ton Of the objects of the reorganization
committee from being affected, but
what shape these proceedings will as
sumo he was not prepared to state.

KILLED HIS FATHER
Young McGonigIe Of North Yak
ina Jailed.
SHOT ANOTHER MAN TOO
The Trouble Arose over an Attempt 10
Blacken the Character of
Young Woman.

North Yakima, Aug. 12.-Charles Nc
Gonigle, a young man of go is in Jail
in this city, his father a corpse and
Blacksmith Eaves Is lying at the point
of death, all the result OF the aspersion
of character of Eaves' daughters on the
part of young McGonigle, who shot
both men late last night. The coroner's
jury this morning visited the McGon-
igle ranch, seven miles from this city.
and brought in verdict charging the
young man with the murder of his
father.
The facts -vara that Charles McGon-
igle had told the neignpors that in his
belief Eaves kept prostitutes, and had
further ordered his adopted sister to
have nothing to do with them. He had
also caused to be printed in a local pa
per some story rejecting upon the
character of Eaves' sisters. Mr.. Eaves
Sunday night drove to the McGonigle
ranch, a distance Of two miles, to have
retractiOn He was accompanied by
his wife and one daughter. Upon near
ing the house he saw Charles McGOn-
lyle and called him to the gate. He
came, but said he would stand by any
remark he had made. The Eaves fam
lily alghted from the wagon and en-
tered the gate together. McGonigle
ran. The Eaves people went to the
house, knocked and were invited in.
The wife and daughter entered, Mr.
Eaves remaining on the stoop in front
of the door, He talked a moment or
so, and said he came to see Charles, but
refused to enter, and stepped off the
stoop.
Old man McGonigle came around the
corner of the house at this moment.
Eaves approached him and put his
hand on his shoulder in a friendly way
and said he had come to see why
Charles had circulated a scandal about
his daughters. While talking. a rifle-at
the rear door cracked and McGonigle
fell and died in a few moments, shot
through the intestines. Eaves fled into
the house and eXtinguished the light.
Charles then advanced to the house
door, and seeing Miss Eaves in the
room, said:
What are you doing there?" and
fired at her.
She stepped aside and the bullet
struck Eaves in the groin.
Eaves fired a small revolver at
Charles but missed. The latter then
went to a neighbours house and gave
himself up, saying he had shot his faith
er accidentally.
McGonigle was a man of 60. Eaves
is aged 40. The family of the dead man
testified that he said, "Eaves killed
me-" as he fell, but there is no cor
roborative testimony to this effect. In
Justice to the Eaves girls 1t should be
said that they are quiet and genteel
comparatively well educated and have
always borne good regulations Meth
er family have been here two years
There is small hope of Eaves' recov-
cry.

SENATOR PETERS LATEST FAD
Wants Money Based on Land Values
Is Against silver.

Emporia, Kan. Aug Ex-senator
PETER has written letter to J. c. Hol-
den OF this city, in which he comes out
strongly in favor Of currency based up
on land values alone. He has discarded
silver and the sub-treasury plan and
writes that he believes the chief trouble
with the court is interest and it's twin
evil, rent He calls attention to the
fact that the average rate of interest
is per cent and states that the aver
age savings of people for the past 40
years has not been over per cent
I'VE are" he continues, paying more
than twice as much for the use of
money we have been compelled to Dor
row as we have been able to save from
our labor. Rents are governed by
prevailing rates for the use of money.
/ have Come to the conclusion that Civ
ing all proper consideration to every
plan of reform which has been suggest
ed the people cannot recover from their
oppressive burdens of debt except
through the abolition of interest or at
least by reducing the rate to a level
below that of the permanent savings
of the people To abolish interest will
require that the people themselves, act
ing through their proper constituted
agent the government, shall take
charge of their own monetary affairs,
preparing. issuing and controlling their
own money through their own instru-
mentalities as may be best adapted to
the purpose. I can see no way out of
our troubles in the situa ton l have
spoken of that will be so safe, so just,
so easy of accomplishment and so eff
fective as to coin our land, issue money
based upon our wealth and abolish the
business Of issuing money by corpora
TONS
In an interview PETER said he was
glad to see the land money idea pro-
crossing in the face of what he called
"rabid metallism." He declared against
free coinage and is against the entire
silver movement. He will take the
stump against it this fail.

Fast RegaIning Prestige as a Po-
Queer.
THE NEW ERA Is PROMISING
Experienced Miners Find Employment in
Big Properties New
Machinery.

Wardner, Idaho, Aug. 13.-There has
been no time in the last three years
when there has been such a feeling of
confidence in the Occur d'Alene coun-
try in general and in Wardner in par
ticular as now.
With the increase in the price of lead
there comes a corresponding increase
in confidence in one OF the best, If not
the best. mining countries in the whole
northwest. There may be other sections
more talked of, but the Occur d'Alenes
is not a doomed country. 1t needs no
booming. Its vast resources are its
mining advertisements. Here are to
be found mines from which millions Of
dollars have already been taken, and
from which millions will be taken in
the future
One can safely say that there is no
section of the United States where so
many opportunities are presented to
the poor man, be he a laborer or BUSH
ness man.
To be sure the country has been par
TALLY asleep during the last three
years. The low prices of metals coupled
with certain MISUNDERSTANDING be-
tween capital and labor have acted as
an opiate on the business of the cOun-
try. But if the country has been asleep,
it is thoroughly aroused now, and ev-
cry indication is that it will experience
a period Of substantial prosperity such
as it has never seen before.
RAILROAD WORK.
The Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company is one of those who have ex-
tensive interests in the Occur d'Alenes
that realizes that a new era is here.
Already it has a force of men at Wal
lace ready to begin rebuilding its
branch road from Wallace to Burke.
This branch was washed out by the
freshets in May. 1894, and has never
been rebuilt; as a result that company
has been at great disadvantage in COM
handing any business on Canyon creek.
Whatever freight has been brought into
the country for Burke over it's road
had to be shipped from Wallace over
the Northern Pacific. At the same time
the Burke branch was washed out the
| Mullan branch was also washed out.
1t is reported the company will COM
mence repairing the Mullan branch as
soon as the Burke branch is completed
The Hunter mine has already resum-
ed operations and it is confidently ex-
pected that the Morning mine will fol-
low it's example very soon. These two
mines will employ about 400 men, which
will necessitate the shipping in Of many
! supplies, as we'll as a large quantity
Of ore out In order for the o. r. &c
N. to command any Of this business it
will be compelled to repair the Mullan
branch.
At Wardner there is the most per-
ceptible change. There are now in the
employ of the Bunker Hill company
over 300 men and more are coming in
daily. Yesterday Is experienced miners
came in, most of them coming from Cal
ifornia. The company thus far has not
shipped a great deal Of ore, as a large
force of men has been constantly on
development work. The company has
ordered a large amount of machinery
and is putting the mine in proper shape
for continuous running.
At the Last Chance mine men are
being put on as fast as they can be
used to an advantage.
