celent business town. Dresden was
visited, then Vienna, where five days
were spent. This region abounds in fine
castles. Munich, capital Of Bavaria, was
taken in, where again we're viewed great
castles and all Of the best in art. From

size in the world, was the next stopping
place, then to Wiesbaden, Homburg and
Baden Baden in turn, with five hour
trip by boat on the Rhine to Mainz.
Cologne was viewed, then Mannheim, and
from there through Switzerland and the
Alps to Italy and it's cities and back to
Paris for a week, London five days and

De France Case Drags.

The peFrance case is dragging its
weary length along in the Walla Walla
court. The prosecution closed it's case
Wednesday evening. There had then
been about 40 witnesses examined, and
it was expected that at least 80 would
be examined for the defense. There has
been some delay because of serious ill
ness of one of the jurors, Heber White
of Dry Creek. His first sickness showed
every evidence of Typhoid fever. he
was removed to hospital, where doc.
tors and nurses we're sworn to secrecy
by the court. After a day or two

Narrow Escape From Death,

James Benton, an old pioneer of Col

instant death, while working in a ware
house Of kuhn's tramway at Wawawai
Friday. A large timber SxS and 20 feet
long fell distance of A feet and struck
Mr.. Benton squarely on the head.
Though the skull was not crushed. it is q
miracle that it lis so. The only explana
ton is that one man had hold of the
hosting rope and was lifted in the air.
1t is probable that this broke the force
of the fall sufficiently to save Mr.. Ben
tons life. AS it is, he is in a serious
condition, though not believed to be in
danger. He was brought home Monday.
and is resting easily, considering the
serious nature of his injuries.
