lapse and on March 8th, received q
stroke of paralysis from which he
never recovered. He fingered uncon-
scious for several days before the final

Drunken Indians.

Under the law the proper officers or
the people should prevent the sale of
whiskey to Indians. This despicabe
crime can be detected and the perpc-
tratory can be punished by the exer-
cise of due vigilence. The menace to
public peace justifies the strict en-
rorcement of the law. Drunken In
dians appear upon the streets almost
daily, and they are seen upon all the
roads between the city and the reser-
vation. They are more annoying and
more dangerous In the country than in
the city. Their insOlence is almost in
tOlerable when there Is no officer of the
law present. 1t il u common occur
ence for drunken Indians to take pos.
session of the road and compel team
sters aud other travellers to yield the
right OF way to them.
These Indians are all armed with re-.
vOlvers and they flourish them in a
manner not calculated to afford COM
fort for nervous man. The In.
dians should not be allowed to carry
revolvers. The plea is made for guns
to use In the chase but the rifle is used
exclusively for hunting. The revolver
has no practical value to an Indian
more than to Il white man. In the
hands Of drunken Indian the revol-
yer ia dangerous weapon.

Supreme Csart Decisions.

The supreme court Monday
handed down some important de-
cisions in North Idaho cases. In
the case Of the State VS.. Mary l..
Goddard, the action of the lower
court in refusing to make an order
requiring the county to pay the
fees of additional witnesses for the
defendant was sustained.
"To entitle the defendant to a
benefit OF the provisions of section
8,I5I of the revised statutes, amen
ded by the session laws of 1898"
saws the court, there must be a
strict compliance with the provis-
ions of said section and the neces-
sity and materiality of such wit
nesses must be shown before a
suphoena will be issued or any ex-
pense incurred chargeable to the
county, The defendant in this
case who was on trial in Nez Perce
county for murder and was ac-
quilted, had refused to show
materiality of the witnesses de
sired.
The lower court was reversed in
the case of T. X. O'Rourke, appel
liant, VS.. Louis Bergevin, involv-
ingthe question ofpriority Of lab
orers liens over a mortgage. Ber-
gevin borrowed $22 900 from the
plaintiff and to secure him exc
cuted chattel mortgage on the
wheat crop ON 3.oo9 acres of land
in Nez Perce county. The lower
court gave the plaintiff judgment
under foreclosure, but directed
that out of the proceeds the liens
oe the laborers be paid first. Thi,
action of the court, the supreme
court decides, was an error.

Horse Thieves Captured.

An important arrest was made
by Sheriff I.ydon Tuesday evening.
n band of valuable horses was
stolen in Yakima few weeks ago,
and man by the name of Helm,
one of the owners. suspicioned a
brother, Eugene Helm, as one of
the thieves. The stock and sew
eral men i'll charge were traced to
this vicinity as early as last Sun
day. The stock and four men and
Two women were finally located
near Juliaetta. The thieves were
i'll dug out and the horses were
on the range near by The Off
GERS, accompanied by several citi-
zens surrounded the rendezvous
and the capture was quietly
effected. The four men found in
charge OF the stock were Lee How
ard, Heber Owinga, Robert Hoar
and Eugene Helm There was
also in the dug-out two women,
for one of which no warrant had
been secured. The other, Kittie
Helm, is the wife of Eugene Helm.
She was arres,ed with her hus-
| band.
For some time it has been knowi,
that organized thieves were opera
ting in the country about Juliaetta.
This is perhaps only part of the
gang. A great deal of stock as
well as harness and saddless have
been stolen. In this camp were
found about twenty head of horses
together with saddles and harness
Of considerable value. Those in
pursuit of these thieves expected
to find many more horses but the
booty had been distributed before
the capture Of the thieves.
Hon. G. I. Helm, a brother of the
leader of the thieves, accompanied the

Thomas Edward Kitsmlller died at
his home OH East Main street, last
Thursday. Only few days before he
had been at his post of duty, and his
death was unexpected by his many
friends. His illness was u lung afiec-
ton induced probably by grip. He
had been employed as a peace officer
in this city for several years and was
universally respected AZ . citizen and u
public officer. He had served in the
regular army for l3 years and was
honored for efficiency AS a soldier and
an officer. He was born In Ohio and
was 40 years 10 months and 2 days old.
He has resided in this county since
1879. He was connected with the old
militia company here aud acted ns lst

Street Improvements.

A new sidewalk has been con-
structed In front of the Wildenthaler
store and the adjoining property. The
business part Of the city has been slow
In taking on this needed improvement.
The appearance of the city should bc
improved before the rush of spring
travel eets in. Snake River Avenue
has always presented the appearance of
neglect. The sidewalks as well as the
street are out Of repair.
This city might well initiate Asotin
IN the improvement of streets. That
little town has truly fine avenue. 1t
was cheaply paved with cement
gravel or coarse sand some years ago
and the result has been satisfactory.
The streets Of Lewiston could be re-
paired cheaply by layer of coarse
sand. The dust nuisance would there
by be abated SO that less sprinkling
would be required than at present
There Is IA sand deposit near the Deso
farm that could he drawn upon for an
abundance of good material. The
utility Of this class Of sand pavement
need not be conjecture. There is II
Dit Of road near the sand bank that de-
mOnstrates the value of this cement
sand as material for street pavement
a. well as the experiment in Asotin
A sand pavement would be cheaper
and more satisfactory than the Use of
stone, as has been contemplated,
