SHOCKING RAILROAD BLASTS
Two non Lose Thor Lives and Another
His Eye Sight, on the River.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

STUART, Aug. pa most horri-
BILE and distressing accident hap
pened yesterday at the Northern
Pacific railroad camp, which is at
a point midway between Kamiah
and Stuart. At this point J. F.
Flood has been in charge of gang
of men, and as usual they prepared
their different charges for blasting.
All the different blasts went off as
they should but one, which had
been made by two men whose names
it was impossible for the PRESS to
obtain. Flood, in company with
the two men who had prepared the
blast, waited the usual six minutes
for the blast to explode. There
was no explosion, SO they decided
to examine the fuse, thinking that
it had been extinguished either by
burning out or by air, SO they all
went up to it.
They had barely reached the spot
when the blast went off with a ter
rife explosion, and all the men
were blown off their feet. When
relief reached them it was discoy.
cred that Flood was dead, having
been mutilated frightfully, and one
of the men was just alive, the Other
being dead.
The body of Flood was brought
up to Stuart, where it was giver
burial. The other man was buriet
at a point near where the explosion
occurred, and the last man, wht
was yet alive, was taken on thu
boat to the N. p. railroad hospital
below Kamiah. It is understood
that the sight of both his eyes il
totally destroyed.
Little could be learned about am
of the men who were injured, othe
than that Flood is a single man, g.
years old.

SERIOUS STABB|NG AFFRAy
The Alteration Between Jim Long and
C. N. Larabee at the Hump.

As announced in yesterdays
DAILY Press, there was a stabbing
ARRAY at Buffalo on Tuesday last
which resulted in the death of G.
M. Larrabee.
Last evening Jim Long, who in
flicted the wounds from which Lar
rabee died, arrived out from the
camp in company with Tom McGree
and voluntarily surrendered him.
self to the sheriff. He was ar
raigned before Justice Hartman
this morning and remanded to Gus
tody to await the preliminary ex-
animation on Monday, September A.
Efforts were made to bail the pris-
oner in the meantime, but this the
justice would not allow.
From Mr.. McGree, who accom-
panied Long out from the camp.
we learn that Tuesday, the day OF
the fracas, was very wet, stormy
and cold. In fact it was showing
in camp, and the weather was too
bad to permit of much work going
on. Consequently, Long went to
town and got into pOker game at
a saloon. They were playing fol-
money stakes, and Long got into
the game to the extent of $50. Lar
abee was also playing, and seems
to have been angered at Longs
success, for he started an alterca-
ton which resulted in his Shaping
Long on the face and taking away
his chips. Long then left, but re.
turned in the course OF an hour
or so, when Larabee renewed the
alteration.
Without generalization, both Lar
abee and Long walked outside, and
Long says that Larabee renewed
the argument about the game, and
finally slapped him in the face the
second time. Larabee was armed
with gun at this time, and Long
had no weapon save a pocket knife,
with which he fought Larabee, in.
flicting one cut in the left loin and
another in the stomach about one
inch above the navel. There were
no witnesses to the ARRAY, and
nothing was known of it in camp
until Larabee returned to the tent
and made his injuries known.
Then a messenger was sent fol
DR.. Sifton, but being unable to gel
him, the services of q doctor wht
was camping at Adams camp wal
called in.
According to our informant thu
doctor Immediately proceeded t.
chlorof the patient, and treated
him by pushing back the protrud
ing intestines with his finger and
stopping the wounds by stuffinf
them with rags, and administering
more chloroform or morphine.
Mr.. McGree says it was report
ed in camp that Larrabee had
made statement of the affair be
fore his death but its ma ture wal
not obtainable. He further statel
that Long made no effort to ge
away, but finding no one anxious
to arrest him or modest him in any
way he came out to Mt. Idaho anG
voluntarily surrendered himself t,
the sheriff. According to Mr.. Nc
Gree's statements the sentiment O
the camp is with Long, and tn
general impression is that he actet
purely in self-defense.

The gold standard cry a couple
OF years ago was that there was
plenty of money in the Union,
hence we didn't need silver. Now
comes along Bradstreet and saws
that times are getting better be-
cause Alaska is digging lots of gold
and Australia is shipping us good
deal of metal. In other words,
the more money we have in the
country the better times are. Such
being the case, see how prosperous
the United States would be if we
had free silver coinage together
with the gold? Money would, in
deed, be easy and property would
not be held at discount as now.

Thunder Mountain Mines.

A. B. Caswell, the discoverer OF
Thunder mountain, and his brother,
ID. G.Caswell, came in yesterday
with more than 200 ounces of gold
taken out of their claims this sea-
son. They have twelve claims in
all, fourteen acres of which is OF
fine paying soft shale and soapstone
rock, which they say will average
over $12 per ton in gold. The air
Stacks off about five feet deep oil
this formation each year.
A. B. Caswell said he thought he
had all the ground corralled, but
found his mistake this year, when
over 100 locations were made, and
two of them are in active operation
and paying well. There are, he
says, fully fifty prospectors on the
ground now.
Some of those who have made
locations Mr.. Caswell says, fare
working out their assessment, and
in doing SO are obliged to carry
their pay dirt a long distance in a
wheelbarrow; but in spite of this
Inconvenience, pan out over SO a
day apiece
The gold bearing territory in the
vicinity of the Caswell claims is
about four miles square.
Mr.. Caswell further says that
there is enough pay ground in that
vicinity which will run about Sc
per ton and enough in sight to run
1000 stamps that many years. He
says there are quite a number oil
new mining men going in there
now, and two good strikes have
been made recently.
There has been a meeting held
in that section and a district or
ganized. w. Richey will be made
recorder.

RUSSIA ROARS ON ALLIANCE
Of Germany with England as the
Mistake of WiIIiam's Life.

New York, Dec "A dispatch to the
Herald from Berlin says: The Tageblatt
base received from St. Petersburg the
views taken in Russia of Emperor Will
Hams journey. In the Russian capital
it is considered that the kaiser and Herr
Won Buelow are much too clever states
men, and have burned their fingers too
much with English policy, to allow their
hands to be tied at this most favorable
moment for the continental powers, all
for love of England. There are not the
slightest grounds for Germany to CO.
operate with England. In China, only
common action with France and Russia
against England can serve the German
policy. Neither will the German policy
in Africa be in the slightest degree ad-
vanced by the humiliation of the Boer
republics. The kaisers visit to England
has therefore had no practical results
Germany, France and Russia have all
the same antipathy to the war, and will,
for the time being, at least, not abandon
their expectant attitude, and will, for the
future, keep a perfectly free hand. It
closes by saying that an understanding
between Germany and England is the
more impossible in that the war has given
to the world startling proof OF Eng
lands military weakness.
