PALoUsE CITY, Wash, Jan. 12.-Farmer
James Robertson. living few miles east
of this city, in Latah county, Idaho. was
arrested last evening on n warrant charg-
ing him with incest with his 17-year-old
daughter, Annie. The warrant was sworn
to by another daughter, Zsenie, the wife

On his examination before Justice of

duced showing Robertson to have been
criminally intimate with Annie for the
past four years, compelling her to submit
to HIM in spite of the protests of his wife
and family, who were afraid to tell of his
conduct.
No defense was offered by the prisoner,
who was bound over in the sum of $4,000
and committed to the county Jail at
Moscow.
1t is reported that a child born to Annie
recently was put out of the way. There

mors of Robertson's awful treatment of
his daughter have been current for some
time. He is 80 years old, and has wife

And His Bozeman Friends Fear They'll
know HIM No More Forever.
Special Correspondence OF the standard.
BOHEMIAN, Jan. 12.-Sam Gaskill, q
ranchman near Salesvillc, IN this county
left for the East with two car loads Of
horses about two weeks ago, which he was
going to take to Pennsylvania and sell
there. 4 part of these horses were his
own, tho rest being from neiOhboring
ranchmen, to be settled for by Mr.. Cas-
kill upon his return from the East. Mr..
Gaskill borrowed money from the Boze-
man National bank, j. II. Black, c. III.
Overstreet, the Goodwin estate, Mrs. b.
Spieth and others, for part of which good
security was left.
Mr.. Gaskill deserted tho horses in Chi
cago and the railroad took the stock to
pay the freight, and although heard from
later in New York state, his present
whereabouts are unknown and no eX-
planation of his actions can be received.
1t is thought that this silence on his part
is intentional and his many creditors here
are very nervous, as his ranch and be-
longings hero will not begin to meet his
Indebtedness.
Mr.. GaskilPs standing has always been
good in this community and he might
have borrowed much heavier than he did
before leaving. Mrs. Gaskill still believes
Mr. Gaskill will return and explain all
satisfactorily, although it is said his leav-
ing was due to family quarrel, and his
most intimate friends do not believe he
will again show up in Bozeman or at his
Salesville home.

DAMMING The RIO GRANDE.
There's n Plan on Foot But it May Not
Work Right.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - Secretary
Gresham, Senior Romer, the Mexican
minister, and Major Dutton of the United
States Engineer corps had a conference
respecting the appointment of a commits
sion TO provide system of irrigation for
the Southwest by damming the Rio
Grande river. Authority for the appoint
ment of such a commission is already
lodged in the president by legislation.
The talk was purely informal and took
a broad range, the subject being dis
cussed from an international point of
view, as we'll as an economic propos ition.
One objection to the scheme, which
seemed TO strike tho conference with
some force, was the suggestion that any
damned river would be sure to fill up
gradually from the deposit of salt brought
down from the mountain headwaters and
so the supply of water for irrigation pur-
poses would diminish and in the end seri-
GUS controversies would arise over it's dis
tribution.

Union Railway company, in which the
firm of Clark & Brown are alleged to have
assumed to appear for both sides in the
controversy. There was an allowance to
the firm in this matter, which is criticized
by the parties making the charges as
gross fraud, which no court of conscience
would countenance, and the conduct OF
the firm was characterized as a breach of
professional ethics which cannot be too
severely condemned. Mr.. McAdoo's
friends are directing their plea especially
towards prevailing upon the committee to
accept new testimony and not depend en-
tirely upon the record of the Tennessee
court proceedings against Judge Clark.
