JIM SHERMAN In TROUBLE,
Accused of Highway Robbery and Bour d
Over for Larceny.

Accused of Highway Robbery and Bouc d
Over for Larceny.
Jim Sherman, negro employed at
Mr.. w. FL. Cobb's market, was given a
preliminary hearing before Judge j.
NJ. Simmons Thursday on warrant
sworn out by Ida Mcmillan, a negro
woman, charging him with highway
robbery. The Mcmillan woman is the
negress who claims to have been robbed
in the Central railroad cut two miles
west OF Dawson the Saturday night be-
fore of some flour, meat and cloth.
The evidence for the prosecution dis.
closed the fact that if the prisoner was
guilty of any crime it was larceny and
not highway robbery, the latter being
a crime of much higher degree and
punished as felony.
The evidence for the prosecution was
not very strong against Sherman and
he succeeded in proving a good alibi,
but the presiding justice decided there
was sufficient ground to suspect his
guilt and he was consequently bound
over to the city court on charge of
larceny and will be tried at the Sep
TENDER term.
Mack Gresham, who was first arrest
ed for the otfense, was released, the
woman being unable to identify him as
the offender.

THE FLESH GROUND OFF.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE CEN.
TRIAL DEPOT.
OhlO Man Falls from Train and His
Arm Is Ground TO Pulp. Am.
putatiOn May Be Necessary.


A serious and what came near being a
fatal accident occurred at the Central
depot Friday night just as the S:4S Gen.
tral cannon ball train, going north, was
leaving.'
Mr.. &. G. Palmer, an Ohioan who had
been In Dawson several weeks doing
buggy work, fell or was pushed from the
platform of the car and his right arm was
ground into a pulp by the wheels of the
moving train. The flesh from the hand
to the elbow was literally torn off, but,
remarkable to state, not bone was
broken.
DR.. j. G. Dean, the roads local sur
geon, was hastily summoned and rem
dered the proper service to the injured
man. He was moved to his room at the
residence of Mr.. W. e. Baldwin, and IS
n0T doing as we'll as could be expected.
The injury is serious one, however, and
although bis arm has not been taken off
amputation may yet be necessary.
When the accident occurred Mr.. Pal
Ter was boarding the train to go to
Bronwood, and says that he remem bers
that just as he hid gotten on the plat
form some one ran against him and
knocked him off, the fall rendering him
senseless.
Mr. Palmer was recently married in
Albany, and his wife left here only few
days ago to visit relatives in New York.
On the day of the accident he took out
an accident insurance policy of S. ,00C
with Mr.. F. B. Arthur.

The New Road Assur ed.

According to telegram from Fort
Angeles in yesterdays Post-Intelli-
pencer. the management of the Port
Angeles Eastern Railway company
has practically abandoned the idea OF
connection with the Port Townsend
Southern and will utilize the shortest
route to Olympia. This news will be
greatly appreciated by the people OF
this city. And that the company IN
tends to prosecute the work OF con-
struction. is evident from the activity
displayed by the management. The
contract for the first division OF five
miles from Port Angeles to Morse
creek has been let to J. It. Antonelle
and John Leonard, and the same
parties will likely get additional con-
tracts for the remaining portion OF the
first ten miles. Manager Atkinson
confidently expects the line as FAR as
Morse creek to be ready for the con-
struction train within forty-five days.
Mr.. Antonelle went up the Sound
Tuesday for the purpose of securing
men, tools, ETC., to push the construc-
ton as far as possible.
These same gentlemen are bidding
on the cribbing that will be put in be-
tween the town and Morse creek, as
are also other contractors.
Manager Atkinson expects next
week to let the contract for the entire
construction of the water front work,
which will include the piling of rail-
road avenue from that terminal near
Oak street in Port Angeles, to the
point where it strikes the bluff east of
that city; the Gaping of the same,
and all details save the laying of the
rails.
Four additional frst-class surveyors
have been telegraphed for, as we'll as
four new complete sets of surveying
instruments. The contemplated rapid
ity of construction will necessitate a
large corps of surveyors and engineers.
John Lehman, one of the promoters,
has sold all his interest in the road to

The editor receives many inquiries
from people in all sections OF the IN
ION, as to industries, wages, lands, etc.,
and to obyiate the necessity of writ
ing letters, the following general re-
plies have been prepared. The Editor
will add further information, but en-
quirers should always send stamps.
WAGES.
Logging camp wages range from 50
$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters So to So per day.
Ordinary labor $l.50 to So; -
Woodworkers $3.50 to So;
Farm labor 500. to $25. per month
The nature of work, the skill OF
workman, and condition of the mark
ct makes difference in wages
RENTS.
A house in Shelton rents from $5
to $40; some poorer buildings are
cheaper, but good comfortable dwell
ling brings So to $40. Houses are
scarce here.
There are some farms and ranches
which can be rented cheap. and one
or two places, which can be had for a
year or two for keeping them up.
FUEL.
Wood is burned almost entirely.
Fir wood sell at 80 cents to ST.. per
rick (half cord) delivered. Hard wood
alder and maple will cost little more.
On the ranches and away from town
wood costs the cutting.
LIVING.
The cost of living in section is very
moderate, very few things being much
higher than in the East, and many
much lower.
Best flour is 80 cents to 81. per sack.
Butter, Is to 80 cents, according to
season.
Eggs, Is to 80 cents according to
season.
Potatoes and other vegetables, Is to
80 cents per bushel.
Fruits and vegetables are becoming
very plentiful, producing heavily, and
are within the reach OF all.
LAND PRICES.
Practically no good vacant land
convenient to settlement, is available
for homesteaders. The Northern Pa
cific and the Mill companies own large
bodies of logged-off lands, some Of
which are we'll situated for agricultur.
al purposes, which are offered for sale
at prices ranging froms$1 to SIS pei
acre on the 5 and 10 year contract
plan, which is very reasonable.
We advise homeseekers that the
best and cheapest plan for them is te
find partly improved ranch and buy
it, where they will find everything
ready to begin making living. This
is a good section for workers, and idlers
and people who are not willing te
work are not wanted. There are COCO
openings for milling, or other business
or intelligent farming In Mason Co.
but no one should come without suffi
cient means to secure start.

Certificates of Delinquency.

In reply to an inquiry from Q. N.
Wilson, treasurer of Chehalis county
as to whether certificates of delin-
quency for 1895 and prior years may
now be issued, Assistant Attorney
General Vance says that "the act re-
hitting interest and penalties on taxes
OF 1897 and prior years gave tax
debtors until November l of this year
to pay all delinquent taxes, with 6 per
cent added, and contained an emerg-
ency clause. He is therefore of the
opinion that certificates of delinquency
may not be issued until after Novem-

FAMOUS CHURCH
CASE SETTLED

Washington, Feb. 3.--The case of Rev
John T. Tuohy, pastor of st. Patrick s
church, st. Louis, against Archbishop
Kain of that city, which has been pend
ing for many months before the apostolic
delegates court in this city, has been
decided in favor of the archbishop. The
verdict of Mgr Martinelli has four SUBJ
divisions, two pertaining to Father
Tuohy's sentence and the other two re-
lating to his future treatment by the
archbishop of St. Louis Father Tuohy
is told to surrender Internationally to
the archbishop all rights and all proper
ties pertaining to the pa astorate of St.
Patrick. He is then ordered to make
submission to his superior, and for PEN
ance to go into retreat for 10 days.
When Father Tuohy has complied with
these requirements the archbishop is
ordered to restore him his priestly facul-
ties and to make some suitable provision
for his future support in the archdiocese.
This provision is subject to approval by
the delegates court here and if the place
given Father Tuohy is not sufficiently
lucrative and of dignified position the
delegate reserves the right to ask the
This decision ends one of the most famous
eccleSiastica lawsuits ever tried by the
