Stranger Suffering From ssIf-Inaictsd
Wounds Found ON y. r. Track.
Richard Smith is the name OF Il man
who made an unsuccessful attempt at
suicide on the N. p. railroad track, a
short distance east OF here, early this
morning. The weapon used was evil
IDENTIFY dull pocket knife, as the self
inflicted wounds on the neck and wrist
were not deep and looked ragged. The
man was discovered in the middle OF
the track by the engineer on No. II,
and is reported to have made an at
tempt to flag the train. The train was
stopped and the would-be suicide was
brought into town and placed In the
custody of Constable Baker. 1t was
plainly evident that he was suffering
from a severe attack Of delirium
tremens. He talked incoherently and
would give no information concerning
himself. His name was learned from
papers found on his person. Among
them was the following recommended
tion:
"Tekoa, WASH, April 81, 1902. The
bearer, Il, Smith, has been in my en-
ploy as section foreman since October
3, 1901, to April 20, 1902. His work has
been satisfactory and can recommend
him to any man who may need "a first
class trackman. He leaves the service
Of his own accord.
JOHN COUGuLIN. ID. II. M
While at the depot he started writ
ing letter To his mother. He failed
to write the address Of his parent and
did not finish the letter. The letter
was to be request for $50 to pay his
burial expenses, and further stated
that when 1t reached its destination
he would be no more. He was con-
stantly trying to take of his shoes, and
succeeded once or twice. He would
give no information as to how he came
to be where he was found, and no
one here remembers Of having seen
him before. lie was taken tn Rath-
drum by Constable Baker on commit.
ment papers issued by Justice Of the
Peace Whitaker. His wounds are not
serious, although 1t was deemed ad.
visable to send him To the county hos
pital 1t is believed that his derange.
ment is due to the attack 81 tremens
from which he was suffering and
which was evidently the result -of a
protracted debauch.

THE ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY
The Occasion Fittingly Observed by sand

The Occasion Fittingly Observed by sand
point Lodge No. 50.
The eighty third anniversary Of
Odd Fellowship was duly observed
here last Friday by appropriate exer-
cises under the auspices OF Standpoint
lodge No. So, /. o. o. f. The pro-
gram consisted of parade in the af-
ternoon, banquet preceded with ad-
dresses by prominent members of the
order in the evening and followed by
grand ball in the Pythian hall,
where banquet was also served.
The weather was quite favorable
and the parade, which was first on the
program, proved very successful. The
exact number participating In the pa
rade could not be ascertained, but it
was noticed that many visitors from
neighboring towns took part in 1t.
The parade was in charge Of T. J.
Stonestreet, member OF the local
lodge.
The banquet was a magnificent
spread, prepared by Caterer w. J.
Davis and was enjoyed by 226 people,
that being the whole number Of plates
laid. The speakers, whose addresses
preceded the banquet, were Rev.
Koontz OF Hillyard, Wash, and Judge
| Norman Buck OF Spokane. Both took
for their subjects the principles OF
Odd Fellowship and Rev. Koontz de-
livered most eloquent address. lie
was followed by Judge Buck, who
never fails to interest and please an
audience whatever the subject may
be, and on this occasion he fully sus-
tained we'll deserved reputation
for delivering an instructive
address and leaving the audience in
the best OF humor and in prime condi.
tion for the enjoyment and apprecia'
tion of the the bountifnl spread which
was awaiting it. Norman Buck wal
at one time Judge Of this judicial dis.
trict in territorial days and numbers
among his friends and admirers many
of the older settlers in this locality
who, aside from appreciating the
mental treat that is sure to come
whenever the judge is billed to speak
are always glad to meet him as an old
time friend.
At the banquet w. F. Whitaker, q
prominent member Of the local lodge
acted as toastmaster. J. Dumas, Z
promjnent Odd Fellow from Granite
responded to the toast. "The Visi
tors. Mrs. X. Wanemaker and Mis-

probably medium Of reconciliation, as
he Is considered violently insane.

This. of course, was an impossibility,
unless they had blame fools Tor op-

Indians. they did not have, and they
therefore. bolted the convention. At
the boilers convention, held the eve
ming of the 12th-after they had bolt
ed in the afCernoon-they had only
eleven regular delegates, as three OF
their fourteen, as counted above, re-
fused to go with them. Six of the
eleven voted for Hunter and five for
Dukes, and Hunter was declared the
nominee. His six votes evidently
came from Blue and Jackson coun-
ties, and among these delegates were
brother-in-law and young man
named Hunter, who, ! understand, is
relative. This would make Hunt

of two relatives who would naturally
vote for him, regardless of the wishes
of the people, unless they were in
structed and l understand they were
