Felix Warren Is a candidate for the
Office of City Marshal subject to the
will Of the law.abiding citizens OF
Lewiston. As deputy marshal for the
past two years Mr.. Warren has been n
tireless enemy of all law breakers rich
and poor, and for this reason some are
arrayed against him. This fact alone
should be grounds for his unanimous
support by the peace-;oving majority
of the people Of Lewiston. There
could be no higher recommendation
for the Office to which he aspire, than
the opposition arraved against Mr..
Warren in this city. II the better ele-
,nent of voters can unite in their own
interests, like the opposition, we may
expect a reform administration for the
next year; and if not we may expect
the reverse
At the time of going to press there
was a we'll grounded fear that William,
Holland, better known as "Missouri
Bill" and two strangers were drowned

The river men report that they were

from the vicinity of Big Eddy, re-
ported n raft afloat in the river with

and there was evidence of rough usage

tion and the failure OF these men to
arrive on time causes fear of a serious
accident.

The cd beast resented the interference

greatly enraged at the approach of the

Indian who made good time over the
meadow till the bear demonstrated his
ability to win the heat when Matthew
turned and fired the little 30 rifle full

terrific in its onslaught 1t bore the
Indian down upon the ground and
began to cr,lsl, bone and muscle with
his strong jaws. She tore of the
clothing and took shreds ol flesh with

only another little - gun came boldly
to the Indian boys rescue. He fired
the little bullets INTO the most vital

james Bruce of ColfaX was arrest ed
in his city Sunday for horse stealing.
This young man had brought to the
city the day before ten head of horses.
On Sunday morning dispatch came
to the officers to look out for him.
Felix Warren made the arrest AS the
young man was in the act of riding
away, he haying warning that he was
suspected.
The horses ii seems were the pro.
perty Of n widow lady living near
Pullman. This young man had pro-
posed to buy the stock and had ad-
vanced five dollars as pure hase money.
Before the bargain Was closed, how
ever, he discovered the absence of the
family from the ranch and he drove
the horses away without paying for
them, taking along some which were
not included in the proposed sale. In
getting the h rises away he cut the
vile fences. This act attracted suspi-
cion that theft was Intended and
young Bruce WAS suspected of the
crime. He was followed to this city
and captured in "a hours after the
horses were stolen. This young man
who is only lS years old was taken to
