entered a plea Of not guilty.
His wife sat beside him during the
trial. but she also was apparently OBJ
liviOus to the consequences Of her hus-
band S deed. Near the woman sat the
wife Of the murdered man. with

resentment nor even of anger against
the slayer Of her husband,

testify to the conversation that was
held between the two men prior 20 the
shooting, but none was able TO relate
the exact origin of the quarrel. Sew

TRAMP NUISANCE GROWS.
Police Unable to Grant Relief Asked
For by Residents.

~
Half a dozen men, all apparently
strong and healthy. appeared in city
court yesterday TO answer To the
charge of vagrancy. Nearly all were
found guilty and sentenced 10 be the
guests of Jailer Kimball for a term.
The men are supposed to be a part of
the gang which is swarming to the city
as the result of the failure of the Of
fcials to organize the chain gang.
Numerous petty crimes are said TO
have been committed by the hordes OF
wanderers who have made this city
their mecca Most all the burglaries Of
late and the stealing which have been
reported to headquarters are said to
have been the result of the visits of the
tramps. Begging is the chief mode Of
employment used by the gang, and
numerous reports are sent 10 head
quarters requesting the aid of the Of
fcers TO free some community from the
persistent and frequent calls of the
hungry pedestrians. With arms
bandaged in sings and a tale Of woe
and hard luck, they plead with house
keepers for meals and clothing. Several
who have been taken 10 headquarters
have been discovered TO be fakes and
are sound, physically.
The numerous jewelry vendors seen
on the streets are. as a rule. portion
of the gang. With cheap rings or
chains of absolutely 10 value. they
peddle their wares throughout the city
and are rarely mOlested. When arrest
ed they are given terms in the city
jail and fare better than when follow
ing their profession.
Efforts have been made frequently
to have the chain gang put to work in
the city. but up to this time they have
been unavaihng. Until the present po-
lice force is increased numerically, It
is said that it will be impossible to
take the men from their beats and
detail them to keep guard over the
prisoners.

In reviewing the result Of the
year just ended it would be well
for the residents of the prairie to
consider the disadvantages they are
laboring under by the lack oftrans
portation facilities. Last fall some
interest was developed in a pro-
posed scheme to construct a tram
way from Nezperce to the river.
Owing to lack of proper enthusiasm
to support it the project failed.
The necessity for such a con-
veyance is now imperative. The
increasing resources Of the prairie
demand cheaper and more expe-
di-Es method of transportation than
by wagon over the Kamiah grade.
1t behooves business men and ran
cheers alike to begin at once an
agitation that will materialize in
a fully equipped trarnway by the
beginning of the coming harvest sea-
son.
