Four Political Conventions in
Kootenai County This Week.
LOCAL NEWS ITEMS
The Weekly Grist of Railroad Ru-
mors. The New British Columbia
Transportation Company Ac-
quires Control of its Lines Octo-
Der 49,

While the prospects for the
building of the railway from Bon
ner's Ferry to the Kootenai Lake
seem as bright as ever, the con-
structior is being delayed much
longer than was expected. We
understand that some changes have
been made in the ORIGINAL plans.
1t is rumored that the Great
Northern is not taking the financial
interest that the ORIGINAL plans con-
templated. Other financial ar
rangements have had to be made.
Mr.. Foster, one Of the principal
promoters of the enterprise, arrived
in New York during the week and
is presumed to be arranging that
part of the business. Another sub
ject of delay is believed to have
reference to the charter. The in.
tention was to build from Bonner's
Ferry to Rykert's on the Great
Northern charter. Under the new
arrangement a new charter had to
be secured, which formality requir-
ed time. In the mean time two
engineering parties are being main
tained-one on the British side
under Mr.. Geo. Keifer, and the
other at Bonner's Ferry under Mr..
Knowlton and Mr.. Miller. Mr..
George Alexande the British
Columbia capitalist, is pushing the
proposition with his accustomed
energy. While the delay in start
ing work is disappointing to the
public, there seems to be nothing
discouraging in the outlook for the
road building.
In a runaway accident near
Occur d. Alene tuesday, J. w. Teth-
ro's foot caught in a wheel and was
almost torn from his leg. Mrs.
w. J. Mcclure of Bonner's Ferry,
who was in the buggy with the un-
fortunate man, escaped with a
badly bruised face but no serious
injury. The accident was caused
by one of the pole straps on the
neckyoke breaking, letting the
tongue fall. The team became I'M
manageable and Mrs. Mcclure jump
ed out while Tethro remained in
buggy trying to stop the team, with
the result as above stated. The in
jured man was taken to the hospital
at Spokane and at this writing it is
reported that his foot may be saved.

BIG INDUSTRY in SIGHT,
Deal Is About Ready to Reach a
Favorable Conclusion.

Everything points toward a favorable
conclusion of the deal now on between
a large manufacturing concern and
local capitalists for the establishing Of
the formers plant in this city. Com
ment was made upon the matter in
Saturdays Tribune, but for obvious
reasons the full particulars of the nego-
tiations could not be given then nor
can they now. The board of trade is
acting as Intermediary in the matter.
Representatives of the firm were in
the city Saturday and yesterday and
the final propositions have been sub
mitted by all parties concerned in the
deal. The land for the plant has been
given by a well-known Scranton capt.
talist. 1t is proposed that local capital
shall erect the MILL which is to cost
about $4,000 the firm giving an ample
bond to pay a per cent. rental for five
years, TO equip the mill with 100000
worth of machinery and to purchase
the property at its original cost at the
end of the five years.
The Tribune is informed that pro-
posals have already been received for
the erection of the building, which can
be finished in four months from the
signing of the contract, and that the
project will likely reach a favorable
termination in a few weeks.

A FRIEND in NEED.
Mrs. Eva Cutchins Was Saved from
the County Jail by Deputy Sheriff
Frank Ryan.

An evident attempt at mean extor-
ton was frustrated yesterday by the
keeness and kind heartedness OF Dep
uty Sheriff Frank Ryan.
Eva Cutchins, a poor, frail-looking
Polish woman, of Dodgetown, was ar
rested last May and held to bail be-
fore Alderman J. p. Kelly in the sum
of $500, NJ. Frochosky becoming her
bondsman. BY reason of her ignor-
ance she was not on hand when her
case was called before the next sue
ceeding grand jury and the bondsman
to protect himself took out bail piece.
Where the bail piece has been all this
time does not develop, but when Mrs.
Cutchins' husband left for Pittsburg
to look for work, Monday, the bail
piece was hunted up and yesterday
the woman with her year-old babe In
her arms, was dragged into the sher-
ifs office and surrendered.
Deputy Ryan did not like the idea
of sending the unfortunate woman to
Jail and he also did not like the looks
of the fellow who brought her in. He
had heard of this same individual and
concluded that the fact that he was
connected with the case warranted an
investigation. "Ikey'" Steinberg was
called in and instructed to get at the
bottom of the matter. He did, and
when he made his report Deputy Ryan
said he'd be blowed, or something of
| that kind if the woman would go to
Jail.
We'll she can get bail; she has
money" the bail-broker sneakingly
| remarked.
| "She can get bail without money
| retorted Mr.. Ryan in angry tones
"I'll go her bail myself"
District Attorney Jones was sent for
and when he arrived the party repaired
to the office of Clerk of the Courts
Daniels
| How much bail do you want in this
case?" inquired Mr.. Ryan.
What is it; let's see," and the dis.
trict attorney scanned the bail piece.
This fellow brought her in," Mr.
Ryan volunteered, pointing to the
cringing bail-broker.
Him." said Mr. Jones in a mean
ingful way, as his eyes rested on the
individual pointed to. II guess it will
| be all right to let her go on her owl
| recognizance. Fill out a blank Tom
my"
Clerk Daniels proceeded with the nee
| eSsary formalitieS and then Deputy
| Ryan said "Tell her go home"
"Ikey" Steinberg told her Of wha
had occurred and that she should b,
around on April is to appear in court
She stopped her crying and wiping he
eyes began looking around for the per
son who had befriended her. He hadn'
waited to be thanked. He was back a
his desk plodding over pile of lega
papers as high as his head.

1t is the first time such a praecpe

Deputy Ryan, and what he doesn I

perfectly legal, but the sheriffs office
hasn't been able as yet to discover just
what some of the things in it mean.

Is lawsuit pending up in Ransom be-
tween Michael Gilmore on the one side
and Joseph Kircher and Amos Huns

pears, contracted to buy strip of the
old Kern farm in Ransom from Susan
Kircher, one of the Kern heirs. He
gave a $1,000 judgment note, which
was to be satisfied at the rate of $1O(
a month. Gilmore defaulted in the
payments and the Kirchers proceeded
to recover the land. Gilmore allege.
that last fall he locked up the prem

When he returned he learned, so HI
alleges, that Joseph Kircher and hi!
hired man. Amos Hunsmyer, had forced

to take possession in Susan Kircher's
name.
For this forcibly entry Gilmore nov

CIlRIOS FROM CHINA.
Brought Back by Miss Cobb from the
EIowpry kinpdOm.

A large number of guests gathered
in the rooms of the Young Women's
Christian association last night to well
come Miss Cobb back from China and
to see her foreign curios Miss Cobb,
it will be remembered, went to China
five and one-half years ago in the place
of Miss Dunn, who was to have sailed
but decided to marry and remain here
instead. Miss Cobb has been most of
the time in Shanghai. She returned a
few weeks ago but will sail again for
China in October. when she expects to
take up work in the interior. She has
been very successful, has learned to
speak a number of dialects and likes
the mission work. but regards the five
years as long indeed.
She has great store of native ar
ticles which interested visitors last
night. Among them are heather gods
in profusion with very fat Buddhas
predominating A real treasure is a
pair of miraculous mollusk shells on
the inner surface of which appear eigh-
teen tiny disciples of the great Buddha
seated like himself in a cross-legged
attitude. These shells are difficult to
secure and are regarded with much
awe by the natives who believe the
little raised figures to have been mir
aculously produced.
The truth is that the clever priests
insert tiny wood figures within the
shell and the tenant hastens to coat
the irritating intruders with a layer
of mother -of-pearl and the effect is
really marvellous.
In the collection were many fetishes
against harm. Some very remarkable
ones were hung on the bed to ward off
evil spirits from the sleeper, others
containing a string of articles made ur
of infinitesimal monkeys, cushions and
cash" ore such as the fond mother
! places around the neck of her child
| There were ex1uisitely embroidered
| shoes, bridal gear, capes and head
wear in general bsides much fine china
! including a plate more than 200 years
| old, having been that time in the fam
! lily of Miss Cobb's teacher. Models OF
Chinese vehicles and figures depicting
customs We're among the interesting
things shown. The collection contains
much than even the most indefatiga.
