wife of Edwin r. Sherwin. The
deceased was loved dearly and re-
spected greatly by all who knew
her and many are the hearts that
are today grieving over the loss OF
a good wife, mother and friend.
Mrs. Sherwin at the time OF her
death was IS years, one month and
Is DAYS old, and her death simply
was caused by old age. Her life
was the personification of love and
devotion and she has left q living
monument, which only a pure,
good mother can leave, in her
righteous and noble children.
The dear lady was attacked
about seven years ago with pneu-
monia. from which she never real
" recovered and as consequence
has suffered uncomplainingly from
it ever since. All during her ill
ness she has been most carefully
attended by her daughter Carrie
and son Bert, but attendance was
of no avail and yesterday the lady
was called to her final rest.
Mrs. Sherwin was the mother OF
four children of whom three are
living, namely, Ebert, Carrie and
Perry Sherwin; the last of whom
resides on Salmon river, has been
sent for and is expected to arrive
today.
Edwin Sherwin, the husband of
the deceased, came to Lapwai
Agency id 1863, and in 1879 he
sent for his family, who joined
him here and they have had their
residence in Idaho county ever
since. "
Mrs. Sherwin has always been u
member of the Baptist church,
having Joined at the place of her
birth, easanoyia, Madison Co.,
New York, She was ihiiarlied in
1s47.
The funeral services will taAo

A private letter received this
morning from Weiser announces
the sad intelligence Of the death Of
Mr.. Snyder, chief engineer Of the
party that has lately been engaged
locating the line of the Pacific &
Idaho Northern from Salmon river
up Whitebird. Details of the sad
event are briefly as follows: The
party after finishing work on
Whitebird left on the rerurn to
Weiser. While in camp at Round
Valley Mr.. Snyder went out for a
hunt and soon after a storm came
up, and as he failed to return to
camp a search was instituted next
morning. when his body was found
frozen stiff. The terrible struggle
he had made against the elements
was pictured on his countenance
and showed it to have been long
and desperate. Mr.. Snyder was
an engineer of ability. His re-
mains we're taken to Salt Lake for
burial. '''''' - ~ -

A PLUCKY WOrlAN
Arrested While Disguised as a
Man, but She Told Good
Story and was
Released.

Gesterday evening a couple of
individuals on the street attracted
the attention of Officers Harris
and Powell. and although both
were dressed in mem, clothes the
officers suspected that one was a
woman in disguise. About nine
O'Clock they were arrested and the
suspicion of the officers was con
iirmed. The pair was taken to the
Jail where the woman told her
story.
She was raised in Kentucky
where she lived until five years
ago when she went to Chicago to
live with a married sister She
went to school in that city for two
years, when she came west with her
sister ard family. At Glenwood
Springs she met young man who
by the way is an Italian, and who
at that time had considera ole
money. The two became infatu-
ated with each other md the result
was an elopement and marriage.
She says that for the past two years
they have been living at Palisade
where the husband worked in the
coal mines. He lost his position,
however, and they were finally re-
duced to such a degree of poverty
that extreme measures were taken
The man learned of a position
which he could have at Brookside,
but he hadn't money enough to
pay for transportation for his wife.
She was equal to the emergency.
They shipped what little furni-
ture they had, then, in order to ac-
company her husband, the woman
donned a suit of his clothes, be-
grimed her hands and face with
coal dust and together they
"bummed" their way through.
After keeping the couple in Jail
last night the woman was fitted
out with proper attire and this
morning they were permitted to
90 on to Brookside.

AID THE FREE TRAIN FUND.

At the Presbyterian church on
next Monday night, Capt. Richard
Keene will deliver an illustrated
lecture on the Cuban and Philip
pine wars. The stereopticon views
are vivid and faithfully portray
the scenes which have stirred the
hearts of Americans and brought
proud Spain to her knees. Capt.
keene, the lecturer, may be easily
picked out in number of these
views. The lecture has been given
in many places and has received
the highest endorsement from q.
A. R. Posts. The entertainment
is given here with two-fold OBJ
iect-that of giving some assist
ance to the Free Train Fund for
bringing the Colorado volunteers
home from San Francisco, and to
REIN burse the lecturer. The pro-
ceeds are to be divided one-third
to the Free Train Fund, two-thirds
to the lecturer. Tickets are on sale
