Entertainment Friday Night
IL

Readers of the PRESS should re-
member the literary and musical en-
tertainment to be given in the Pres
byterian church next Friday night,
July 30th. From the reports of the
ladies who have the arrangements in
charge there is little doubt that it
will be a very interesting affair.
Miss Edythe B. Halbert, the elOcu-
Zionist, will render a number of
selections, which she has added to
her repertoire and which are entirely
new. There will be vocal and instru-
mental music, besides male quar-
tette from Bridgeton, and the choir
will contribute a comic medley to
the programme. A large number
of tickets have been sold and with
favorable weather the church will
doubtless be filed to it's full capac-
ity. Tickets % cts. and may be OBJ
tained from Miss Halbert or the ladies
of the church

This fake Spanish healer WAS arrest
ed last Monday at Nexperce for assault
Ing a young girl at Denver on Wednes.
day before. He had been extensively
advertised IN that country NJ well as In
other sections of the Northwest as .
magician, palmest, and fortune teller.
The father Of the unfortunate girl had
been deceived by Martines. This man
has hobby and the professor led
him out In that line. A mine mys-
terry was troubling the old mans mind.
Marines predicted The location Of u
ledge and "bled" the old man 10 the
tune of$25 for that job.
Mr.. Couey wrs SD taken with the
professor that he encouraged his
daughter to consult the oracle. 1t
seems that tn" daughter became a
disciple of the fake professoI. While
this relation was sustained the assault
was perpetrated. 1t Is reported that
the girl was given wine and also that
she was hypnoti&ed by the 'heaier." /"
At least she wa deceived and in-
tiuenced To keep the relation n secret
This fact Is tvideuce tl,u, the g,rl was

The injured giri Was induced to tell
her story only after suspicion was
aroused by strange remarks made IN
childish nancence. She WAS led to
believe that Marines would make her
n supernatural healer like himself.
She had implicit faith Ia the magical
powers uf Martine- rs had her fat,er.
She related the circumstances that lca
to the arrest. The awaking Which
followed unbalanced tile mind Of the
child and since that time she has been
u raving maniac.
The excitement over the case
brough a mob to Denver. the people
did not conceal the fact that they had
come to a necktie party. Cooler coun-
sci prevailed and 1t was deci ded to give
the man preliminary hearing.
When the case came up the glrl was
unable to give evidence; she was raw

to hold her in. The excitement ran

Accidents from High Water.

in stretching telephone wire across
Snake river at the terry last Tuesday.
hal narrow escape from drowning.
The wire had been suspended and was
being drawn by te..ln of horses when
it broke from the tension. 1t sagged
into the swift water but was secured
uprn the high poles on each side of the
river. The current is very strong at
that point ut the prt sent stage and the
wire was carried down stream two
hundred feet or more and it rebOunded
at int rvals high above the surface of
The water. Tex took a rO., boat and
undertook to cross the river above the
wire. The current carried the boat
down to Il point near the middle of the
stream where the wire was lashing the
water. The ascending wire caught
under the gunwha'e of the skiff aud
overturned it IN the turbulent stream.
"he man was thrown into the river
upon the wire which caught him and
held HIM against the current bending
him across the wire ut the waist. In
that position he descended 70 the bot
tom OF the river some 25 feet and was
carried again to the surface by the
vibrations Of the wire in the water.
As he was thrown above the water he
freed himself from the wire and began
20 swim after the boat. None but an
expert swimmer could have made that
plunge to the bottom without becom-
Ing helpless from strapgulation. And
Then TO regain the distance Of 50 fett
oetween him aud the boat in that ice
c"id water was feat requiring nerve
and hardihood. And when lie reached
the boat he displayed perfect presem'
:" mint. Instead OF trying to climb
upon the boat which would have leen
almost impossible he supported him
sell by merely placing his hands upon
the upturned boat. In this position
lie calmly awaited results.

A APRHs1DENr's PRIVATE CAR,

A project has been originated by
representative railroad men to build
a private car for the use of the pres
ident ofthe United States, from ma
teral and appliances contributed for
the purpose by the car-building and
affiliating industries. tits proposed
to construct a private car excelling
anything of this kind which has
been done before in the substantial
character Of its construction and in
the completeness and convenience
of its furnishing cid decorations.
The projected car will be a complete
exposition of the art ofcar building,
demonstrating to the world the sur
passing excellence of this industry
in the United States; and it is to be
presented to the nation, as a tribute
from the car-building fraternity, for
the personal and official use of the
successive Presidents of the United
States.
The designs and specifications for
the cat are being prepared under
the supervision of a committee of
twenty-five prominent and represent
ative master car builders and super
intendents of motive powers of vari-
Gus railroads, thus insuring the end
that the proposed car shall represent
the skill, ingenuity and experience
of the American car builder. Much
Of the necessary material required
for its construction has been tender
ed by leading dealers and manufact-
urers in the railroad supply trade,
and the projected movement offers
an exceptional opportunity to firms
engaged in business which, while not
directly associated with the car
building industry, make and supply
vario6s articles and material which
will be desired for the furnishing
and decoration of so elaborate a
vehicle as private car for the use of
the president.
