Smith Will Hang.

Last Saturday afternoon the SUI
preme court filed decisions in the
Frank Smith and Harry Gordon
cases heard at Lewiston at the April
session. In both cases the decision
of the lower court was affirmed.
Smith was convicted Of murder in
the first degree at the February
term Of court last year, and Gordon
was convicted of murder in the
second degree at the same time, for
the murder of Emmett Fox at Gen
esee on the night of January DIST,
1896. Fox had been in Genesee on
the evening of the killing and in
one of the saloons offered a 500 gold
piece in payment for drinks but as
the harkeeper was unable to make
change he placed the coin in his
pocket and shortly afterwards left
the building and went to where his
team was hitched and started home.
Smith and GOrden were in the
saloon at the time the money was
shown and left the place immedi-
ately and laid in waiting until Fox
hitched up bis team and got into
the sleigh, then held him up and
shot him. The report OF the pistol
shot attracted the attention of per-
sons in the saloon and others and
on Investigation the body Of Fox
was found where it had fallen from
the sleigh. AS no person saw the
shooting the persons attracted to
the place OF the killing followed the
tracks of two persons made in the
newly fallen snow who had left the
place Of the murder, one of the
tracks leading in a circuitous route
to the place where Smith and Cor
den lived, and the other east
through the old town of Genesee
and down to the breaks of Clear
water. The trail to Clearwater
was evidently that of Smith as on
Wednesday evening he returned to
Genesee from the Clearwater where
he claimed he had been hunting
horses. Both nen were arrested
and convicted ofthe murder of Fox,
and in both cases the court was
unanimous in sustaining the de-
cision of the lower court.-Moscow

When the wire cable that spans
the river gave way from the force
of the current upon the sunken
boat the line to which the desper-
ate man was clinging sank to the
bottom. He let go of the rope and
tried to swim but the current bore
him on. He struggled hard to keep
afloat but before help could arrive
he sank to the bottom.
Soon after the boat left the shore
it became apparent that there was
danger of its sinking, Mr.. Brown
the ferryman coolly warned those
on board to hold to the boat In case
of accident. Mr.. Aram discussed
the subject and did not seem to dis
play any excitement. But when
the boat began to sink he dellber-
ately jumped of. He evidently
had calculated that he would be
safe if he secured a hold on the
bride rope which extended from
the cable to the boat. This would
have been safe position had not
the cable fallen and carried the
bride rope to the bottom. lie was
seen to grasp this rope firmly and
apparently deliberately and 1T is
believed he had planned that
movement to escape possible dan
ger from the overturning of the
boat. But when the rope sank the
man was without any support and
when he arose he was far out OF
reach of the boat. If he had been
good swimmer he could have
caught some floating object or per-
haps a horse which swan by. While
he could keep himself ahoat he
could not propel himself in the
water. He floated 300 or 400 feet
in the swift current before he sank.
He became exhausted in the cold
water and sank without a word or
cry-sank to rise no more-with
hundred friends so near and yet
powerless to aid.
Mr.. Aram was 3S years old He
leaves a wife and two children at
Grangeville and q father and moth
er in Lewiston. He also has other
relatives some of whom were de-
pendant upon him for support. Mr.
Jones, the partner of Mr.. Aram, Of
fers reward of 5000 for the recov-
cry of the dead mans body.

The death of Prof. Henry Drum.
mond has left gap in the intellectual
life that will not soon be filled.
In the United States the members of
the various universities were ardent
admirers of this deep and original
thinker, and there is no doubt that
many of the students of Yale, Prince.
ton and Harvard, where he delivered
addresses during his American tour,
were greatly influenced by his views
of the present and the future life.
Professor Drummond contracted the
illness which resulted fatally while
staying with Lord, Tweedmouth, the
father of Lady Aberdeen, more than
four years ago. He was a constant
sufferer from pains in the back and
head, and although.he consulted many
specialists, they were unable to re-
lIeve him. An attack of influenza
contracted about month ago. caused
complications, and he grew weaker
and weaker until death intervened.

greatest pugilistic encounter of the
century will be decided in the arena
which has made the capital of this
state the focus of il terest for the
sporting fraternity. Although indi-
vidual opinions as to the result of the
fight differ there is no doubt whatever
In the minds OF those who have trav-

and Australian are in the very best
condition.
A 24-foot ring was put in this morn
ing. The platform is white pine,
planed as smooth as glass. The plat
form projects Is inches outside the
ropes, of which there are two, and the
ring posts are carefully padded.
FITz IS FIT.
Muldoon, the great wrestler, who is
here, has just visited FItzslmmons at
his quarters. He says:
"Chere is one thing to say about the
physical condition of the two men and
that is that they are both fit to make
the best fight of their lives, and either
man can hit hard enough and is strong
enough to win the fight. l can only
say that it will be a battle of good
Judgment and the one that first COM
mits serious error will be pretty sure
to get second place."
In speaking of Fltz, Muldoon said
that he was inclined to believe that
he had been in training so long that it
required exercise to stimulate him to
look what he really is, the most mar
velous piece of physical develop
ment ever seen. ~
CORBETT CONFIDENT.
Corbett, however, abates not jot of
his splendid self. confidence. and his
hackers seem equally well-satisied.
A great crowd is already gathered
here, and every train brings fresh re-
endorsements to the ringside.
