to have been settled, ut least tenn
porarily, rs Mr.. Bon Sellers prom,
ised to give notice, in case he wished
to carry the matter further About
half hour after this, and upon our
starting for Marion, | advised that
we had better be on the watch as we
passed the depot-and 80 DIR. H. A.
Edwards took q rifle to use in case Of
shotgun attack, AS we approach,
cd the depot | got from the buggy,
SO as best to meet attack. Not
wlthstanding the fact that Mr..
Sellers and his son Ben were there
and saw us, there WAS no fighting,
because no attack was made upon
us, and we went on our way to
Marion.
Upon our return from Marion
over the usual route (not by tho
homo of Mr. Benjamin Sellers,) and
just before we got to the depot,
we mot friend who informed us that
the depot was filled with armed
men awaiting to attack ns as we
went our way by the depot to our
home
Inasmuch as | believed my broth
er Dudley to be tno object Of the
proposed attack, thought that if we
could get him safely by the attack
might be avoided. Consequently, [
advised that DR.. Edwards and |
should 60 ahead and slow up our
horse just at the depot, whereupon
Dudley and Evans were to drive
rapidly by and TINS by confusing
them avoid if possible the intended
attack. AS We approached the de-
pot [ saw two men peeping through
the window that looks out upon the
road wo were travelling and evident
ly locating Dudley. AS wo slowed
our horse, Dudley's buggy went
rapidly by to our left. Just at this
time Mr.. Benjamin Sellers rushed
from the depot with his pistol up
raised, aud I stepped from my now
slowly moving buggy upon the rail
road track, faced him with pistol in
hand. He leveled his pistol in my
direction and we both fired. Almost
simultaneously Mr.. j. @. Sellers
rushed from the depot, and from
within shotgun was fired. Mr.. j.
@. Sellers fred at me, the bullet
glancing my right side. 1 returned
his fire with two shots, one of which
was while he was squatting behind
the mail crane shooting some one at
right angles. Just at this time 1 was
attracted by the horse of d. Edwards
come rushing back with him in the
buggy. A gun was fired by some
one concealed in tho Office full into
his face; whereupon I rushed up the
steps and fired through the window
at the figures of three mon in the Of
flee. then jumped from the plat
form and turned in time to exchange
fire with some ono who had come
around the corner of the Office. I
snapped my only remaining ball at
him, and it failing fire went under
the depot. 1 did not have another
cartridge, and 80 made my way un-
der the depot to it's northern end;
got up and walked quietly, so as not
to attract attention, until l crossed
the railroad, after which I won't as
fast as possible to JOIN my friends, all
of whom I believed to be seriously
wounded if not killed.
The backs of our buggies, shot all
to pieces by guns in the hands of
parties concealed in a room, tell

Reasons for Changing the Route
Via Portland
WAS FORCED BY CONDITIONS
0. R. & N Has to Have Share of the
Haul-Board of Examiners
Takes Action.

The state board of examiners held
a meeting Yesterday and authorized
the expenditure necessary to bring
the volunteers home in body, such
authorization being required in cases
in which expenditures become neces-
sary for which the legislature has not
made appropriation. The board feels
that the state should do this much
for the volunteers, having so far con
tributed nothing in their interest.
The duty becomes more imperative
by reason of the fact that the state
can bring the boys to Idaho for much
less than it would cost them if left to
pay their own fares. The rate of
800 10 from San Francisco is made
as state proposition only it is based
on the running of special train for
the purpose paid for in a lump sum
If the volunteers pay their own fares
the rate will be about twice as much
for each man

generous policy is in the long run
the winning policy. No attention
should be paid to people who are try

brilliant success: the relation Of the

Work On Streets.

Some very good work is being
done on the streets in the way Of fiji
ling up low places and otherwise i'm
proving them Marshal NevIn is ov
erseeing the work, and it is hoped
by every enterprising citizen in Wei
>er that the good work commenced
by our village administration will go
on.
Our streets are in bad condition,
we must confess, and the board of
trustees can do this place no greater
service that to put them in good con
dition, so that visitors here will get Il
good impression of Weiser, and for
our own pleasure and comfort.
No city can afford to have bad
streets and sidewalks, and money
spent for improvements on these pub
lie utilities is not in any sense vast
ed. Weiser is growing fast and she
can well afford to put considerable
money on her streets and sidewalks,
for upon the atiractiveness and pub
lie spirit of a place depend materially
the growth and stability of that place.
The eyes of the people everywher'
are turned toward Weiser She is
destined to be the great city Of west
ern Idaho, and it is the duty of the
people here to do all they can for th'
upbuilding and advancement OF thu
place. There is great future
ahead of Weiser, and her destln,
rests, in large measure, with thos'
who have it in their power to place thi
city in the front rank of cities in tn
northwest.

the coal is passed up from the lighters and

baskets that hold about peck each ms

fact it is "A better and quicker way OF

men thought and some women said his
tapering white fingers paid too much at

criticism would have led to the faintest
