The Lewiston teller. (Lewiston, Idaho) 1900-1905, 1901-05-23

John N. King, one Of the best known
business men in the Lewiston valley. was
arrested Monday evening on the charge
OF murder on q warrant sworn out by
Harry Thatcher. brother Of the murdered
man.
The arrest of Mr.. King was surprise
to all. He is being held until Saturday,
when preliminary examination will be
had. He will be represented by McFar-
land & Mcfarland.
The crime with which Mr.. King is
charged was committed about 10 O'Clock
P. m. on the night OF July IS, 1898. at
Lapwai. Charles Thatcher, a partner
OF Mr.. King in general merchandise
store, was shot and killed.
The two partners were in the store
room alone on that night and the streets
were dark and but few people around.
The business relations Of the two part
ners were harmonious. Their trade was
increasing rapidly, as result of close at
tention, general reputation for fair deal
ing and personal integrity. Neithe. was
known to have IN enemy. The whole
community had implicit confidence in
them. Such were in part the circum-
stances surrounding John N. King and
Charles Thatcher on the night of tine
tragedy.
just at this time the Nez Perce Indians
were receiving their pay from the gov
ernment, and this, coupled with the
opening Of the reservation, drew into
that section adventurers, gamblers,
thieves and disreputable character. Of all
descriptions. And with them hundreds
Of good. honest persons, who live there
In peace and prosperity today. The
trade at the store was noticeable. and in
such an isolated locality was an ideal
place for hold-up, or other form Of
burglary with or without the taking Of
human life.
The partners had sleeping spartments
at the store. They were ready to 90 to

two men entered the store. They were
heavily masked. and in the dim light Of
the store could Be seen the silvery sheen
Of revolvers. Hands up!'' commanded
one. And hands went up. The partners
were then ordered to get into line on the |
door. Here both were searched. They
took away the watches Of both partners.
Then one turned to Mr.. Thatcher aud
demanded that he open the safe- Mr..
Thatcher Was very nervous and finally
declared ''If my life depended upon it, I
can not open it, The robber said:
''Yonr life depends on It" Then, pressing
