The steamer Spokane, on the up river
trip Tuesday evening, cut the Alpowa
ferry wire. Captain Morrissey slowed
up and passed under the cable on the
north side of the stream but in making
the passage the boat hugged the shore
so closely that it became necessary to
slow down to gain the channel again.
After the stop above the wire the
the machinery f,uied and the boat
was "in irons" When the bell rang
to advance the engineer could not re-
spond. The steamer fioated with the
current backward till the wire was
broken. The heavy new steel cable
dropped upon the boat and began to
wrap around the shaft. Only prompt
action on the part of the boat crew pre-
vented the steamer being disabled by
the cable. In the event of such an
accident they would probably have
been wrecked. Capt. Morrissey says
he very much regrets the misfortune
to Mr.. Jones the ferry man. His boat
has been tied up for necessary repairs
for d mouth before this accident aud
and this loss will be fully $500.
A little child of Mat McGillick, 20
months old, living five miles from

last Sunday. The mother was tempo
rarity absent from the house and re-
turned just in time to hear the baby
scream from pain. The mother hurried
. frantically to the back yard to find the
snake, large rattler coiled around the
child's arm from the wrist to the
shoulder. The poisonous fangs of the
reptile were sunk deep in the tender
flesh of the hand, between the thumb
and fore finger. The mother tore the
serpent away. She corded the wrist
to prevent the poison from going to
the body, and hailed neighbor'>
wagon which was passing, and was
rapidly driven to town. DR.. Shaft
cauteriZed the wound and un,.er his
treatment the child, which was badly
poisoned, has fully recovered.

al Ose he was far out of reach ot the
boat. If he had been good swimm, r
he could have caught some floating
object or perhaps horse which swan
by. While he could keep himself
atioat be 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 Il word or u
cry--sank to rise no mOre--with IA
hundred friends so near and yet pow
erless to aid.

Thomas Aram Drowned.

A lrightful accident occurred ut the
Clearwater ferry yesterday. Thomas
Aram, a stock grower from Camas
prairie lost his life. He was u passen-
ger on the boat when it sank from an
over load of cattle; and becoming dis
engaged from the craft he drowned in
mid stream.
The unfortunate man and his associ
ates were transporting II shipment of
cattle and the last boat load was a
large one. The stock became restless
and crowded to one end. sinking 1t
under water. AS the boat sank Mr..
Aram jumped of on the upper river
side and grasped one of the heavy
ropes. He had evidently calculated
that he would be safe if he held to the
line with a firm hold. In this he was
deceived. 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 desperate
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 float tut be-
fore help could arrive he sank t. the
bottom.
Soon after the boat left the shore it
became apparent that there was dam
ger of its sinking. Mr.. Brown the
ferryman coolly warned those on board
to hold to the boat in case of accident.
MIR. Aram discussed the subject
and did not seem to display any ex-
element. But when the boat began
to sink he deliberately jumped off. He
evidently had calculated that he would
be safe if he secured 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 birdie rope to the
bottom. He was seen to grasp this
rope firmly and apparently deliber-
ately and it is believed he had planned
that movement to escape possible dan.
gel from the overturning of the boat
But when the rope sank the man was
without any support and when he
