methods. as they did not 'sry to sell
the articles themselves. but sent a cou-
pie of small boys to town with the

a negro. The two boys were brought
in as witnesses. They say that they
were coming TO Missoula from Spokane

These are busy times at Bonner. The
big mills are saving more lumber than
ever before in their history and a large
force of mechanics is ait work on the
new electric plant that is to furnish
Light and power for this city,. The
machinery is now all on hand and ii
will not require much time to get 1t
into place. 1t is of the latest pattern
and the plant when completed will be
one of the best in the West. The
change from the old plant will be ap-
preciated by all of the patrons of the
company and will result in a more
general use of electricity in this town,
The cost to consumers will be mate-
rally lessened, by the new plant, which
will be run by water power and win
be much more economically arranged
than the old apology for a plant that
has been so long an eyesore to the peo-
pie Of the city. There will be no re-
gret IL the whole works are washed
down the river by the high water this
spring and there will be no happier
man in the crowd that watches them
go than Bob Rutherford, as he recalls
the weary nights that he has spent
fighting the river when it threatened
to carry the old shack and it's contents,
down stream.

extended examination of the authorities.
"For these reasons we think we ought
to have an opportunity to present this
case as fully as we are capable of doing,
and by oral argument, to the considera-

"We have been informed, though not
officially, that Mr.. Justice Brewer, on
account of his relations as trustee of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company, would not sit in the hearing of
this case, as that company has several
hundred thousands of dollars in foreclo-

cision correctly states the law and we
hope that decision will be sustained by
the full bench of this honorable court"

Gold BY the Square Mile Said to Be
Found in Alaska.
SAN FRANCISCO, March IA mys-
terious expedition left today for Alaska.
The steam schooner Excelsior was char
tered, and SO quietly was the matter
carried out that the owners of the vessel
C. A. Hooper 6 Co., know hardly any
thing of the plans of the managers.
Last year some wealthy citizens of
Boston heard rumors of immense gold
bearing deposits at Cook inlet. and A.
Pennock, an experienced miner, was
sent up to view the country.
~Pennock made a thorough search for
the shining metal and, in his opinion, he
was successful beyond all question.
Pennock, with few friends, at once
measured off ten acres of land which
showed gold from the grass roots on to
the bed rock. Water rights were Sc
cured and the prospectors washed out a
few ounces and started for Boston. The
gold is both fine and coarse and the
mint here values it at $16 per ounce.
The Boston investigators incorporated
as the Alaska and Boston company and
100000 was paid in Henry
E. Spalding and G. T. w. Barnum
the latter being at the head of the West
Side electrical roads, came to this city
and at once began preparations for the
expedition.
The destination of the expedition has
been most carefully guarded, but it is
known that the objective point is about
twenty miles from Resurrection creek
at the head of Cooks inlet,

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. ia Jour
nal special from Oswego, n. Y. says:
Fanny ScofeId, a remarkably attractive
girl and only 13 years of age, Is locked
up in the Oswego County jail on the
charge of murder. She was taken tnere
yesterday by Coroner Vowinkel as q re-
suit of his inquest into the death OF Fern
Field the two-year-old daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Albert Field, who live on a farm
near the village OF Mexico.
About a week ago the parents lett the
little one in the mouse asleep ana went
into the field to work. On returning the
father found the child in convulsons and
called his wife, but the little one died be-
lore medical aid arrived.
The Coroner held an inquest and
learned that the child had been well when
the parents left it. Later it awoke and
asked for something to eat. The little
prisoner gave it some milk. She says that
it was the same as the other milk in the
house. DIR. w. Manlius Smith of Syra-
cuse made an analysis OF the contents OF
the baby's stom ach and found that it con-
tanned arsenic. 1t is believed that Fanny
Scofield put "Rough on Rats" into the
milk.

Fields died, and it is now believed that

also. The body will he exhumed and an

An ARK INSAS RACE WAR.
White MiIIhands Trying to Drtvc Oui
the Ne0roes.

White MilIhands Trying to Drirc Out
the Negroes.
CHICAGO, ILL. Nov. 13.-A special
from Ell Dorado, Ark, says: The white
and colored laborers employed at
Hawthorne Mills, twelve miles south of
here, have been waging race war since
last Monday. The whites, who are largely
outnumbered by the negroes. declared
that the colored men should not be per-
mitted to work in the mills and warned
them to leave. The negroes did not go,
and a number of white men whipped a
negro.
That night car and several tents in
which the negroes were sleeping were
surrounded by armed white men and
more than 100 shots were fired into the
car tents. How many negroes were hurt
cannot be ascer:ained, but it is known
that woman was ia ally wounded. The
shooting Is thought TO have been for the
purpose OF frightening the negroes away,
as when it ceased they were a ain warned
TO leave, under pain of death.
Yesterday there was further rioting, the
extent of which has not been ascertained,
but the Sheriff has gone there with a
posse of deputies to restore order. The
mills were idle yesterday, neither whites
nor blacks being at work. A report
reached here last evening to the effect
that the injured woman had died and that
serious trou bic was imminent, the negroes
threatening to avenge her death.
