FTrOuble On l.atOur Creek.

Thursday morning there was
landed at the county Jail two fam
lilies from Latour creek, a tributa-
ry of the Occur d'Alene river. II
is not often that a whole family is
gathered in by the officers bu,
this time two families composed
OF three members each are under
arrest. The parties are ]. H. Van
keuren, wife and son, and !. A.
Higbee, wife and baby, prominent
settlers in that country of lumber,
gold and farms. From the story
related by the prisoners to a repor-
ter, it seems that the Cameron
Lumber Co., the complaining wit
ness, is trying to make life bur.
den to all settlers on Latour creek.
1t has been the custom of the log
gers working for the company to
travel over the lands OF the de
PENDANTS in whatever direction
their fancy leads them, even going
so lar as to enter the houses of the
sett ers while in an intoxicated
condition swearing and using other
vulgar language in the presence of
the ladies. In addition TO this
they walk over and destroy grow,
ing crops paying no attention what
ever to pathway constructed for
them by defendants. When
Messrs. Van keuren and Higbee
demonstrated with the men for
their wanton destruction of crops,
to no purpose, the foreman of the
loggers was appealed to for aid
but he too turned a deaf ear to
their entreaties. The trouble went
from bad to worse and finally war
rants were issued for the arrest of
defendants, the lumber company
asking that they be bound over to
keep the peace. This action was
frustrated by the prisoners who
demanded that they be brought to
trial at this term of court and set
tie once and for all time whether
individuals or corporations can
trespass with IMMUNITY on land be.

Messrs. Van keuren and Hig.
bee as well as their wives are in
telligent, well appearing people
and tell a very reasonable and
straightforward story of the trouble
in manner which carries convict
ion with it. They are not quar-
relsome nor addicted to "gun
plays" as the public has been led
to suppose.
