Burns a Free Man.

Kid Burns, well known in sporting cir
cles and martyr to weeks of bastile life
is again at liberty. Mr.. Burns was ac-
cused of belonging to that cosmopolitan
set OF gentry commonly known as pick
pockets, and twas upon this charge that
he was arrested i'll the o. R. & n. saloon
several weeks ago. The plaintiff in the
case was James Brennan, who charged
that while Burns was partaking of his
hospitality in the above-named saloon he
also partook of his ready cash, and Bren-
nan thereupon caused his arrest. After
much delay in the proceedings, a jury
was selected and trial given Kid Burns,
to determine his guilt or innocence.
William Weber, the principal witness for
the prosecution, testified that he saw
Burns extract the money from Brennan S
pocket, but his story was told in sue l an
uncertain manner and there being no
other testimony against the accused, the
jury could find no Just cause for convic-
tion. The defendants side of the case
was championed by Cash Cole and George
Webb. Burns was defended by ]. w.
Reid and G. w. Tannahill, and the prose
cution was conducted by County Attor-
ney Danford.

coming winter. Mr.. Turner, the general
manager of this company, was i'll the

are now running eight hour shifts OH the

Mr.. Smith will in all probability go into

The Ferry Case Ended.

In the injunction case of Evans ct al.
VS.. Charles w. Green, Judge Steele rem
dered decision Friday, sustaining the
motion of the defendant. The case in
question involved the right of the de-
fendant to place trolly or cable across
the Clearwater river at point within a
mile of the plaintiffs ferry. In render
ing the decision Judge Steele held that
the distance should be measured by the
course Of the river and not by air line,
as was the plea of the plaintiff. By air
line the distance is seven-eighths of a
mile and by following the bank Of the
river the distance is a mile and six.

Dorsey Jury Discharged

The jury i'll the case of J. II Dorsey,
having failed to come to an agreement,
was discharged. Dorsey was arrested
last summer in Walla Walla, charged
with grand larceny and brought here for
trial. Tpon furnishing $3.50 bail he was
allowed temporary freedom. Comparing
the two avenues before him-supposed
permanent liberty at a cost of $3.50, or
possible servitude in prison-he accepted
the former and took French leave. He
was located and arrested in Seattle,
brought back to Lewiston and given the
second trial, the jury of which cannot
agree.

CRUDE OIL ON COUNTRY ROADS.


Maj. NJ. Meigs, a civil engineer Of
Keokuk. Iowa. made a short address at
the session OF the Missouri Good Roads
association, which, in the opinion OF
many was the most interesting part OF
the days work. IL is his opinion that
the use OF crude oil may prove pana-
cea for bad roads In localities where
road material is hard TO obtain.
He said his attention was first Ill
rected TO using oil on the highways
by reading Il newspaper clipping from
4 Pennsylvania town. It seems that
a leaky oil pipe near the town in ques-
tiOn was responsible for the discovery,
This pipe was near place in the road
that was invariably impossible our
ing the season OF spring and fall rains
When the leak occurred in the pipe the
ground became saturated 10 some eN-
tent with oil, and very soon IL was no.
ticed that the mud dried up ana the
surface of the earth became hard ana
remained So IL appears that so noto-
rious was this piece of bad road that
the effect OF the oil on IL became II
matter of So much comment that pres
entity the experiment was repeated IN
other localities and with the same et-
feet.
Mai. Meigs said that he sent a letter
TO the officials of the standard oll coh-
pany and asked them TO furnish nm
some crude oil for experimental pur-
poses. They forwarded tank con-
tanning $50 barrels, with their comph-
ments and wishes for success. Some
eight barrels of this oil have been used
ON a notoriously muddy road near keo-
kuk with most satisfactory results.
Mai. Meigs said that il was no rou-
bic anywhere to keep dry roads IN goou
condition at minimum expense. on
will prevent the earth from becoming
wet by forming a waterproof crust. 80
far as he has carried on experiments.
a barrel OF crude oil is sufficient for
strip OF road 100 feet long and J. rect
wide. The cost OF the oil at the wells
is about 80 cents barrel No other
material. he said, is SO cheap, and no
other will prove so effective.
Mai Meigs' speech caused great
deal of comment. To the delegates II
seemed to open an entirely new field.
Many questions were asked him. all or
which ne answered as his information
warranted. lie explained the well
known theory that oil and water VIII
not mix. and made IL apply TO the ques-
ton of good roads. The earth was
porous enough. he said, To retain the
oil and cause IL 10 shed water so that
where the oil took hold moisture must
depart. and naturally the earth became
compact.-St Louis Republican.
