MALICIOUS.
Somebody Who is in Fair Way to
Get Into Jail.

That some one instigated by motives
impure and unmanly, as well as crimi-
nal, has hatred in his heart for wheel
men, is evident from the fact that night
before last that person pulled down the
post holding the boards bearing the
Road Rules, Warnings" etc, posted
by the Capital City Wheelmen at the
head of the wheelway, corner of Thirty
first and streets, just outside the city
line
Not only was the post pulled down,
but the cloth signs We're all torn off and
carried away.
There is great difficulty experienced
in realizing that such malice can be en-
tertained by any being worthy the name
of man.

STUMBLED ACROSS & FORTUNE.
Good Luck of a Poor Prospector i'm
Washington.

SPOKANE (Wash) April 2S.-Mar-
tin Kelly, poor prospector, accident
ally stumbled across a fortune yester-
day while resting on the roadway at
the foot of Lookout Mountain, on the
banks of the Columbia River, near
Trail Greek, British Columbia. While
seated on the edge of a huge bowlder
of fully 60,000 tons weight his atten-
tion was attracted to the CLINT of gold
on one exposed section of the rock.
Testing ii with a pick he found the
supposed bowlder to be composed of the
richest quality of quartz. Samples
We're brought to this city, which assay
as high as S63 to the ton. The bowlder
has evidently been dislodged from a
rich vein on the mountain side by an
avalanche. Kelly is wild with Joy and
prcspectors are now searching for the
mother lode.
