Drowned In the Bitter Root.

About I o'clock Wednesday even
ing Ernest Nixon, a young man about
IS years of age residing a short dis
tance southwest Of Victor, was
drowned in the Bitter Root. Young
Nixon, in company with several other
boys Of the same age, Went to the
Bitter Root river to 60 swimming.
The bows went into the river and
Nixon GOT into a hole some twelve
feet deep, and, it is supposed, was
seized with cramps. Before aid could
reach him he was drowned. Ills
companions at once sought help anc
in a short space Of time collected to-
uether quite crowd who instituted
diligent search for the body OF the
unfortunate young man. About hall
an hour after the searching party ar.
rived the lifcless remains were 1ishcc
out of the stream.
The drowning Of young Nixon is {
very sad case. He was the only chile
of a widowed mother, his father, J
W. Nixon, having died some three
months ago Of spotted fevcn, leaving
Ernest as the only support and com
fort of his mother. The funeral oc
Cured this morning from the resi-
dence of Mrs. Nixon near Victor
The sympathy Of the whole valley i
extended to the bereaved MOTHER
Times.

The Reply Arrives.

Washington, Aug: S.-.Thc reply
Of the Spanish government to the
peace conditions laid down by the
United State was received by the
French ambassador, NJ. Cambon,
shortly before 3 o'clock this after
noon. The reply came in sections,
the dispatch first received giving
only the opening passages Of the
Spanish reply. a few minutes later
came a second section and they kept
coming interruptedly by a procession
Of messengers untsl seven sections Of
the Spanish reply had been received
at 10 minutes to + o'clock, when the
last part was scheduled to arrive
There was no further doubt that Tho
length of the reply meant that SpaiT
had not given a simple and direct al
-firmative to the American cOndl
tions. 1t was evident that if th'
reply was an acceptance it was ac
companied by extended discussion
! and probably by conditions. ~
