WashOuts! WashOuts!

Railroading is all awry this week on
account OF the unusually high water
in this county. All kind OF trains be-
gan to fall behind the schedule Friday
night, and although heroic effort was
made by the company to keep moving.
Traffic on the Northern Pacific be-
tween Spokane and Pasco was prac-
tically brought to n standstill Sunday
morning. The west bound passenger
with 107 Klondikers and regular COM
plement Of other passengers arrived at
this point during the night on Satur-
day, but could not proceed. So
Sunday noon they were ordered back
to Spokane to take the o. r. and N.
route to Portland.
This was the last passenger train
into Ritzville until Tuesday evening,
when n Great Northern passenger
came through, going west. Both the
east and west-bound n. z. trains went
through last night, and the people
who have been hanging around the
postoflice with long faces the past two
or three days, all went away happy
this morning with their arms full OF
mail.

ONE YEAR IN THE PEN
Was what Judge e. III. Neal
Said in the Case Of Declines
the burglar.

Last Friday morning l.. E. Paskill,
the Northern Pacific agent at Ritzville,
was notified from Pasco that seven
cars on the through freight had been
opened and goods taken and that
Shannon, the conductor on the freight,
had arrested negro whom he found
with some OF the goods. In the even
ing of the same day Mr.. Holcomb,
prosecuting attorney, received similar
news from the company's agent at
Pasco, with the exception that the
crime was committed in Adams coun-
ty and asking that a complaint be
sworn out, and warrant issued. Mr..
Paskill swore to complaint before D..
j. Gent charging said negro with burg
larry. The warrant was placed in the
hands OF the sheriff. That officer
started at once for Pasco. The exper-
fence of the trip would fill more space
than we care to devote to that sort of
news. 1t is sufficient to say that the
negro was landed in Ritzville jail Sun
day night.
On being brought before Justice
Gent Tuesday morning, the negro
gave his name as Paul L. Defines.
When asked by the court If he desired
counsel, Declines thought he did.
Hon. N. L. Cation being present was
appointed to defend. After few
moments consultation with his attor-
ney, Declines entered plea of guilty
and waived further examination. He
was remanded to Jail to await the
action of the superior court. The
case did not have long to wait, how
ever, for while the trial was in progress
in Justice court the first train for two
days came in, bringing Judge G. ii.
Neal. The judge convened court at
once and had Defines brought before
him. After hearing his plea of guilty
and listening to the plea for mercy for
IL few moments, the Court fixed the
penalty at one year in the penitenti-
airy.
Defines will be taken to Walla
Walla as soon as the state OF the rail-
road will permit.

1t becomes our sad duty to record
the death of Mrs. F. G. Spanjer of this
city. Mrs. spanjer died at her home
this morning at S.45 o'clock. She had
been sick about five weeks, and though
everything was done for her that the
skill OF the physician or carefulness OF
nurses could suggest, the fatal hour
could not be deferred longer.
Mrs. spanjer was born June 2lst
1863. She was the daughter of G. F.
Clodius OF this city. And as Miss
Anna Clodius she married Mr.. Span
jer October 22nd 1890. She leaves
three small children aged respectfully
five, and three years, and an
infant five weeks old. The flu
neral will take place tomorrow
at one o'clock p. m. from the
German Congregational church OF
which the deco was member.
The bereayed families are among the
most influential and respectable in
the city, and the sorrow and grief con-
sequent on the death of their relative
is as widespread as their acquaintance.
