Wanted a Half.

Ben Philip is a brawny Occur
dAIene Indian, a very decent ST
wash when not filled with intoXi-
cants, but rather eccentric when
too far gone. He reposes in Jail
now on a charge OF robbery, com
mitted Tuesday at Pennington.
Philip had been on visit at
Lewiston and left there drunk, but
was still farther along by the time
he had reached Pennington. He
did not want to walk out to his
home on the reservation and found
a man who would drive him there
for $3.50. Bill was the possessor
of but so. But the blood of his
brother, the notorious Paul Harry,
flowed in his veins, ane he pro-
ceeded to scare up the wanted half
at the home of Attorney ". T..
Beck, the lawyers father was alone.
He had but just arrived from the
east and had never seen copper

woolly west. The drunken Indian

been for IS. Previously he had
done the same sort of business with
the Sather Banking company.
W men confronted with proofs of his
wrong doing, Russell admitted he
had taken the money, and said he
would be unable to return it, as he
was penniless. Russell was three
or four months behind in his re-
m;ttances to the Globe Insurance
company, Instead of renting as
soon as premiums were collected,
he had put the money in his pocket,
Russell vacated his residence at
1853 Leavenworth street on Deem
Der oath last and quietly left the
city. He is supposed now to be in
Rochester or Syracuse, n. Y.

A Test Case Decided.

The case of F. A. Colwell against
T. Y. Williams was decided in the
superior court this week after being
on the calendar for more than
three years. The verdict is of in
terest to every farmer, warehouse
man and business man in the state,
as it sets a precedent in regard to
the labor lien law Briefly stated
the facts are that in 1894 Colwell
operated a threshing machine and
threshed the grain of Thomas Gal
win, who did not pay him. Calvin
sold the wheat to I. Y. Williams,
Alexander & Hexter and Bnrrell &
Thompson, and delivered it at the
Oak asdale warehouses. Before the
time allowed by law for the filing
of laborer's liens expired, Colwell
filed a lien upon the grain for $500,
the amount of his threshing bill.
The purchasers refused to pay the
lien and suits were brought. Bur-
rell & Thompson finally settled
their share and Colwell collected a
small sum. In the present case
Colwell secures judgment for full
amount sued for, $151.47. There
upon Alexander & May had the
suit against them dismissed by
paying the claim against them in
full.
Mr.. Pattison, of Trimble & Pat
tison, attorneys for Colwell, says
the decision is strictly the law and
that when man buys grain it is
clearly his duty TO see that all labor
in the harvesting of the same has
been paid, for if q lien is filed he
will undoubtedly be held respon-
sible for the same.
NJ. O. Reed, attorney for Will
Jams, takes the following view of
the case: The court in an in
struction to the jury held that any
person, warehouseman or otherwise
who bought and shipped grain from
the country during the time al
lowed by law in which to file liens
was liable in damages to the amount
claimed against the grain by the
person claiming lien. The rul-
ing is important to grain buyers or
anyone who buys warehouse re
ceipts or loans money upon them.
The case will probably be appealed,
as we claim the law relating to
liens upon saw logs, quoted by the
court in his instructions, does not
and can not apply to grain on
which negotiable receipts must be
issued. "--Advocate.

Stole Partnership Funds.

Charles e. Russell, whose long
connection with the First National
Bank of Colfax, as cashier, termin-
ated four years ago in disgrace and
an attempt at suicide, is again in
disrepute, says the Commoner. AZ
ter leaving Colfax, Mr.. Russell went
to San Francisco. and later became
financially interested in an insur-
ance brokerage firm of that city
and was doing well. Not content,
however, with the legitimate gains
which he made, he adopted the
same dishonorable methods which
he practiced while cashier of the
First National bank and stole from
the company's funns. The San
Frarcisco Chronicle of the 10th
tells the story Of Mr.. Russell's sec.
ond downfall as follows:
Charles {. Russell, of the firm of
e. W. S. Van Slyke IL Co, insur-
ance brokers, is fugitive from JUS
tice, and his bondsmen, d. II. Bib
and G. A. Warren, have beed sued
by the Globe Insurance company,
of which his firm was the local
agent, for the recovery of several
thousand dollars due from collected
insurance premiums. The amount
Of RusselPs peculation is estimated
to be between $4,000 and $4,000,
and his suretics will be the losers.
Russell was taken into partner
ship by Van Slyke two years ago
upon the solicitation of Bibb, who
with Warren, at that time became
the bondsmen for the new firm.
Last November Van Slyke became
suspicious of Russell, and asked |.
J. Truman, president of the Column
bian Banking company, to look over
Russell's books. Truman found
that Russell had for year been
drawing personal checks on the
Columbian banking company for
amounts from $50 to 1925, and
making the stub of his check book
to read that each Of the checks had

The aged gentleman complied on
the spot; and the bad Indian de-
parted with a grunt of satisfaction.
A mile or two out of town he was
captured by posse and returned
to Pennington, where he was bound
over by justice in $500 and land

A Sad Case.

The board of county commission
ers had sad case to deal with this
week. 1t seems that man named
Dillman lives at or near ''I'' mead
ows, in the timber in the western
part of the county, his dwelling be-
ing the customary log cabin. He
had three children, the oldest be-
ing q girl of fourteen years, and the
Youngest q little tot of three or four.
They were in q state of distressing
poverty. Complaint of failure to
provide for the children was made
against Dillman by Ransom War
rem and the commissioners sent the
sheriff out to bring them in. The
sheriff found matters as represented
about the cabin. The children had
nothing but gunny sacks for wear
ing apparel to protect them from
the cold Their father bitterly OPP
posed their taking away, making
all sorts of threats, especially
against Warren, who he supposed
had made the complaint. Sheriff
Hunter had taken along some wear
ing apparel in which the children
were soon clothed, put in the sleigh
and brought to the county home,
where they will ct least be com
fortably fed and clothed and housed.

THE CYLINDRICAL COTTON BALE.
From The Engineering News.

From The Engineering News.
Cotton-b aling and cotton fires reported upon
BY United STATE Consul James Boyle, OF Liverpool
A late test has been made OF the comparative
merits of the square and cylindrical American cot
ton bale with regard 10 the effect Of IRE upon
them The TWO bales fired and burned side oy
side for thirty minutes The square bale orignally
weighed 40 pounds. and 26 pounds OF sound cotton
were recovered, showing loss of 1863 per cent OF
the whole. The cylindrical bale weighed 5Oi pounds.
and 392 pounds rema aiming sound. showing loss Of
10 the re'atve sizes Of the bales. The bulk OF
evidence In favor Of the round bale. which
weighed thrty-iive pounds to the cubic foot while
the square bale weighed about twenty -ive pounds
forty FIVE pounds to the cubic foot. and never give
trouble from IRE or by damage 10 the juie cover
Ing The explanation OF the liability OF the square
American cotton bales TO IRE is thus given: The
American compress is powerful any in the
world and the bales are first compressed TO forty
five pounds per cubic foot. but after the ties are
the ties and in doing so sucks in a great quantity
Of air An American bale treated In this way is one
system Of oxygen cells, and the fire started
follows these cells and is difficult TO nut ont on
pressed to forty five pounds. but Is held TO that
density by sufficient number OF steel ties: there
four five more bands around an Egyptian
bale than around an American bale. The trouble
lies In The baing. and is accounted for b. the fact
that the Egyptian. Indian and Brazilian bali is
done by those who get the advantage Of superior
American baling is done in the cotton-belt by per-
sons rot Interested in these advantages The prn-
cpai objection 20 the cylindrical bale comes from
rs slowing defects, as urged from a shipping and
EFF in slowing form air draughts dangerous in
case OF fire and this space is waste space. The
latter point is met by the greater density OF the
round bale. Another objection is that the cotton
is In layers and 10 thus easier to sample and TO use
BY the spinners.
