simultaneously with the visit of the

that General Foreman A. K. Cannon
of the repair and constructive depart
ment has rendered his resignation. The
resignation was sent in TO the company
several days ago, 10 take effect Satur
day The company accepted it. and
summoned an employee of the North
ern Pacific to proceed to this city and
take hold of things without delay. The
honors were thrust upon ]. Z. ChiSolm
of the mechanical department of the
Northern Pacific. and yesterday after
noon that individual was busting about
IN his shirt sleeves trying TO get the
hang of the thousand and one things
that are keeping the shops working
overtime seven days in the week.
1t was the universal opinion among
the artisans in the several shops yes
terday afternoon that Foreman Can
non was by long odds the ablest and
most popular mechanic that the West
ern had ever employed in its repair
department. He was so we'll fixed by
the other shop hands that they would
willingly work overtime to get out a.
piece of work that Mr.. Cannon was
anxious to see finished before the fires

Whether or not the visit of the head

to do with the outgoing of Foreman

home late in the evening, but declined
to discuss the matter other than to

VOTING CASES DISMISSED
J. G. MCPHERSON AND HARRY
WILSON DISCHARGED.
Latter Set Free On Motion of Assist
ant County Attorney and Justice
McMaster Let Mcpherson Go.

James Gordon Mcpherson and Harry
Wilson who were before Justice Nc
Master yesterday on a charge of illegal
voting. We're both released from
custody. The Wilson case was not
permitted to go to a trial, Assistant
County Attorney Gunter dismissing it
for the reason that he didn't think he
had enough evidence to secure a con-
viction.
A crowd of dusky witnesses was on
hand to testify in favor of Mcpherson.
The defendant told of his charge up
San Juan hill with the Twenty-fourth
and brought Witnesses TO substantiate
his claim to being a brave man. He
said he was married here two years
ago and lived in the city with his wife
except during the time that he was
away fighting Spaniards or when he
was called on for duty at the post.
He was discharged from the service
last December. In reviewing the evil
dence Justice McMaster said that the
statute covering the duration of time
necessary to give soldier residence.
was susceptible of two constructions,
one of which was in favor of the de-
PENDANT. He believed he should follow
the general rule of law which required
that all doubts be resolved to the adj
vantage of the accused. The acquittal
of Mcpherson was thereupon ordered.

MYSTERIOUS" MIR. KRAMER.
Solution to the Mystery of His Pres
ence On the Road.

A prominent and we'll posted local
railroad official is authority for the
statement that the ong-sought-for So
luton to the problem of the everlast-
ing presence of Mysterious" G.. w.
Kramer within the esoteric circle of
Rio Grande Western railway official
dom has been determined by the recent
happenings in the intermountain rail-
way world.
He states that Mr. Kramer has a wo-
mans scent for situations, and though
he has always been as silent as the
Sphinx, his taciturnity is attributable
TO more cogent reasons than ever the
Mysterious Kramer is said to be the
Sherlock Holmes of the Westerns de-
tective bureau, and the commander-in-
chief of the recently organized Rio
Grande Western Railway Detective as
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Kramer has been almost invar-
iably the companion of Colonel Dodge
whenever that gentleman thought it
advisable to cover the 200 odd miles
that intervene between Denver and
Salt Lake City. He has been known to
sit for hours without uttering a sylla-
BILE, and his presence has been a puz-
zler to everybody who had business to
transact with the colonel. His move
ments have been as mysterious as his
silence, but now that the secret is out
the timid will be able to bolster up
their courage to the point of with
standing the whitening effect of his
mere presence, and as time wears on
they might be induced to shake hands
with him once in a while.

SEVEN DEVILS ROAD.
Working Day and Night to Complete
the First Thirty Miles.

The approach OF. the winter season
has caused the contractors on the diff
ferent sections of the Seven Devils road
to redoubIe their efforts to get through
the canyon before the extremely cold
weather and heavy SHOWS for which
Idaho is famous set in. The Weiser
Signal is authority for the statement
that Mr.. Wilkerson of Wilkerson &
Thompson, the original contractors for
the entire length of the road, but which
was subsequently sub-let in ten-mile
sections to various parties, and one of
which the latter firm has in process
of construction, has said that some of
the contractors in the canyon next to
Middle Valley have put on night shifts
in order TO expedite the work as much
as possible.
Mr.. Wilkerson believes that another
week will see the grade completed clear
through to Middle Valley, and the lay
ing of the track taken up without de-
lay. Contractor Beary has three crews
still working near the Reavis place, and
the long cut and fill near Girling's is
the scene of much activity. The Ore
gon Short Line is running gravel
train over the P. & /. n. from the Wei
ser canyon to Oregon Short Line points.

Leave us alone. Leave US alone,
You shall not rob US of our own:

Our birthright shall our standard be.
Our fathers sweat our fathers blood
Have soaked the ground on which they
Stood
Our mothers tears. our mothers toll
Have hallowed this our Afric soil.
This is our land, This is our land.
Reclaimed by our fathers hand:

We ask. What has to us been left?
We will no longer be bereft
For fatherland and freedom dear.
We die. or live and vanquish here,
