The water used for domestic purposes
has peculiar taste that is very dis
agreeable. Some attribute It TO the
wooden tank used for storage reser.
yolr and this may have something TO
do with It; but Spokane people make
the same complaint and the health
officer Of that city, after examining the
river above their water works con-
cluded the condition Of the water was
due TO a boom Of logs In the river
The most probable theory is that the
mouldy, woody taste Is due to an un-
usual amount Of surface water coming
into the lake and rivers from the tim
Der as a result OF the heavy rains we
have been having for the past few

passenger train Is not 20 bad e. 1t fFSt
reported. After the accident the train
backed up her with the injured on
board and q large crowd soon collected
at The depot.
The scene Of the accident q at q
point six miles west OF here, In the
edge Of Che timber and In front OF the
Ross farm residence. The accident was
witnessed BY members OF the Ross
family, and particulars are a. follows:
Mrs. Thomas Holmes and son and
Mrs. Knute Knntson and her 10 year
old daughter, Emma, had been out
picking berries and were returning TO
their homes on the prairie. They drove
q single horse and buggy and had no
idea that train was approaching, the
view being obscured BY q heavy growth
Of small pines.
As the horse stepped upon the track
he was struck by the engine and carried
distance Of 300 feet. The force OF the
blow caused the buggy to be thrown
violently against the side OF the engine.
The vehicle Is 4 total wreck, the pieces
being scattered In all directions, and
It seems miraculous that the occupants
escaped with their lives. Emma Knut.
son was thrown against the crossing
sign and her forehead crushed In, max.
Ing an opening in the skull three inches
In diameter. She was dead when
picked up. Mrs. Knutson received
several severe scalp wounds, one on the
forehead two inches long and another
on the back Of her head 1--WE inches
long. which laid the skulI bare. She
received other minor injuries, and the
doctors say her recovery is probable.
Mrs. Holmes escaped with fewer In.
juries, and Is In fair way to recovery.
She Is about 70 become 4 mOtaer, and
for several hours 1t was thought the
shock would cause her death, but after
regainiLg consciousness she rallied
rapidly and Is out Of danger.
The injuries TO the boy are slight. al.
though he was thrown q distance Of q
feet.
The injured women were taken 70
sheir homes and DIR. Sabsn, the company
physician. also county coroner, dressed
their wounds.
The remains Of the little giTi were
taken 10 the Ross home, where an in.
guest was held Thursday. Several wit.
nesses were examined, among them
Mn. Ross and her daughter, who were
Mortified spectators. They testified that
the warning whistle was not sounded
and their testimony Is cOrrobOrated By
that Of other members of the family.
The engineer and fireman testified that
they sounded the whistle and rang the
bell and did not see the victims until
the train was upon them. The jury
viewed the remains, examined the sur.
roundings n the crossing and returned
. verdict that the deceased, Emma
Knutson. came TO her death from being
struck by a Northern Pacific locomotive,
without fixing the responsibility for the
accident.
The funeral Of the girl took place
Friday at Post Falls, Rev. T. G. Hodg-
son officiating.
