A correspondent writing from Crook
county under date of the 18th says:
Crook county is enjoying a good soak
ing rain today, but as the farmers are
not through threshlng, it Is not meeting
with general welcome. Yesterday
Ralph Profelia and his brother, Vance,
were brought in under arrest charged
with arson. Sometime last week the cat
tie boys in gathering In band of cattle
let a band of wild steers run over Pro-
felia's sheep camp damaging 1t consid-
erably, and 1t appears that Vance (who
is the man that promoted himself to
the neuter gender last spring, and who
since has become insane) brooded over
the loss of the camp, and last Friday
night he went to Vanninia's and set fire
to his barn and hay stacks, burning the
barn and about 30 tons Of hay. They Will
have their examination tomorrow. There
is a clear case against Vance, but no
evidence against Ralph. There was no
insurance"

Justice McMurray yesterday, says Sun
days Post-Inteaigencer dismissed the
cases against George Leschi, Yeim Jim,
and Sam Smith, the Puyallup Indians
charged with maintaining a fish trap in
the Puyallup river The judge decided
that the law under which they were ar
rested was void, having been wiped out
by the legislature in 1893, in repeating a
section relating to catching salmon in
Puget sound The old law prohibited
the maintaining a fish trap extending Ealt
way across any river creek or stream
emptying into Puget sound, and also re-
sricted the catching of salmon in the
Sound. Leshi was at once rearrested for
maintaining a fish trap without a per-
nit or license from the state fish COM
missioner as provided by the fish laws
of 1893. He was released on his own
recognizance to appear for trial Tuesday
morning. 1t was decided not to have
the other Indians arrested until the de-
termination of Leshi's case. Lesli ue-
clares that he viii pay no license and
thinks the county should furnish his
family with food during the time he is
prevented from fishing.

day night by Harry Kibsgaard the cabin
boy, who says he was maltreated by r.
Kolb, the captain of that vessel, and he
wants $1,000 damages. Kibsgaard, in mis-
complaint says that on July q, 1885, the

Francisco. He claims he was hired as
far as Puget sound, arriving August 15

tended to his duties the captain as
saulted him and spat in his face and
called him foul names He alleges that
the captain also threatened him with
bodily harm and death. In compensation
for his sufferings he asks for 81, 900
damages. Captain Ko.b was arrested at

WOMANS CLUB.


The regular monthly meeting of
the st. Johnsbury Woman's Club
was held in Pythian Hall Monday
afternoon, Mrs. May in the chair.
After considerable business had been
disposed of, Mrs. Ida Boynton gave
the current events topic for the last
month, devoting her entire paper to
a brief but comprehensive statement
OF the currency question now before
our congress and the public in gener-
al. The literary programme of the
afternoon followed. The subject was
history and travel. Mrs. Elizaqeth
B. Jewett read a paper upon ancient
canals, showing the important usages
OF these means of transportation be-
fore the days of railroads, and even
back almost to the beginning of
history. Mrs. Charlotte A. H.
Thompson presented the modern
canals, which in some sections of the
country are of so much value, notably
the Suez and Sault St. Marie. She
also reviewed the history of the
Nicaragua canal now in the process
OF construction.
Owing to the lateness Of the hour
the remainder OF the programme ar
ranged was postponed to an indef.
mite date.
The next meeting will be under the
leadership of the social com mittee
and will be held on the evening of
Feb. II, at which time the members
are expected to bring one or more in
vited guests with them.
