terment to trade at the south. and talk
OF restriction of the anticipated in
crease in acreage is heard. Planting
Is, however, being actively pushed and
retail trade, for this reason is still
quiet. Northwestern trade advices are
quite cheerful and large numbers OF
buyers are In the towns. On the Pacific
CodSl, fAldShdu lTduc is active ana gen.
eral trade from near by points is good
At the east trade is better at retail,
while wholesale lines are quiet. Wool

|nent has ruled that the amendment at

tentions to his wife. Hecker called on
Dohnberg, accused him and gave him the
option of binding himself for life or being

killed him on the spot. Hecker's punish
ment probably will be light. The car has
asked for special report on the whole cir.

SHOOTING SCRAPE N MULLAH
THE ASSASSIN WAS KILLED
p~puiy Sheriff Hit by Three Bullets
Shot From Ambush-Ofhcer Re-
turned the Fire With Fatal Re-
suit-Jack Powell the Victim.

Wallace. Idaho, April 1.-Two dep
uty sheriffs were shot at from ambush
| In Mullan. One officer, was wounded
three times. One of the assassius was
killed by the officers.
Deputy Sheriffs Jim Rose and C. H.
Williams were walking down the street
| together when party of men fired
from ambush, two balls striking Rose
= in the right arm and one in the right
thigh. The two former are merely
flesh wounds and of small consequence
but the latter may prove serious. The
Mllets entered from behind.
Williams instantly drew his revolver,
hirled and began firing in the direc-
. don from which the shots came. 1t
vas too dark to see anything. but from
the shots fired it was thought there
we're three men in the assailing party.
Williams emptied his revolver as the
men were heard running, and then
turned his attention to his wounded
comrade.
Sheriff Sutherland was Immediately
notified by telephone and with Deputy
Frank Rose, brother Of the wounded
officer, left for the scene of the shoot.
Ing as soon as team could be hitched
|up. Two bloodhounds were taken up,
but they could not follow the trail.
In the morning, as soon as it became
light further search was made. About
poo yards from where Williams sup.
posed the men to be when the shooting
began the body of Jack Powell was
found. Further back the officers found
a revolver, together with hat and a
cane on the trail.
The hat and cane belonged to an
other Of the party, but the revolver
was instantly recognized by Sheriff
Sutherland as one that he had loaned
Deputy Pipkin several months ago
when he was at Mullan as state dep
uty. Pipkin was assaulted one night
and the revolver taken from him. Its
since had not been known.
Powell was an old timer in Mullan,
an ex-priZe fighter and an all round
Tough. About month ago he was ar
rested here and put up a revolver and
s45 as bail, which he forfeited. having
heard that there was still another war
rant in the hands of the sheriff. He
fled to Montana and was not known to
have returned until his dead body was
found
Threats have been freely made that
when martial law was abolished those
who acted as part of its machinery
would be made to suffer. AS precau-
tionary measure the officers have not
Travelled about nights except in pairs,

doubtless owes his life.
