LEWISTON MEN DROWNED
M'FARLAND BROTHERS ATTEMPT
RAPIDS IN SNAKE RIVER.
They Were on Way to Investigate
the Saving Of Machinery Of Lost
Steamer lmnaha-Four Men Were
in Boat When It Capsized-Banks of
River too Steep to Climb.

Lewiston, Idaho, Dec. 1.-Word was
brought this afternoon by Jack and
Frank Carsley of the drowning of their
two companions, Eph Mcfarland and
Bert Mcfarland, in the rapids of the
Snake river, just below the mouth OF
Salmon river. The Carsley brothers
and Mcfarland brothers left here a
week ago to see what could be done to
save the boilers and machinery of the
lost steamer Imnaha on a percentage
basis. On the way up in a small boat
they took supplies for the Eureka
mines. They were returning from
Eureka in the small boat, having
aboard 700 pounds of ore and two
trunks, and were towing two gaso.
line tanks attached to lines held by
both Frank and Eph Mcfarland, who
were in the rear end of the boat.
When at a point on this side of Sal.
mon river they struck the rapids. The
boat was engulfed, leaving the four
men struggling in the water. The Cars.
ley brothers swan around and each
got hold of trunk. They managed to
get to shore, but could not get out of
the water owing to the high bluffs
which rise perpendicularly from the
water at this point. They hung onto
the rocks and the trunks.
Bert Mcfarland was thrown close to
where the Carsley boys were. Jock
Carsley told Bert to grab hold Of the
trunk, which he did. After getting
hold of the trunk Bert said his brother
Eph was attached to the line which he
held. Nothing more was seen Of the
two Mcfarland brothers by the Cars.
legs.
The two oil tanks were later seen
floating down the river minus the line.
The supposition is that Eph McFar.
land had wrapped one end of the line
around himself and Bert had wrap.
ped the other end around his body,
and when Eph began to go down he
pulled Bert with him.
Eph Mcfarland was about 26 years
of age, and married, his wife being
an employee of the Pring Candy COM
pany. Bert Mcfarland was about 20
years of age. They resided on Upper

CAPTAIN CARTER FREE.
Has Served His Four Years In the
Pen.

SVIWV0 III kuC
Pen.
Captain Oberlin M. Carter, after
serving something over four years in
the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth, walked forth free man.
His case will be regarded as one Of
the most sensational in the military
history of the country He was an of.
icer in the engineering branch Of the
service, and therefore took high rank
at West Point. His ability was recog.
nized, he had strong connections, and,
when serious charges were brought
against him, he was able to bring
strong influences to work at the task
Of clearing his hitherto good name.
It was alleged that while in charge
of important government work in the
south Captain Carter took advantage
Of his position to swindle the United
States out of large sums Of money,
and. while he strenuously denied the
accusation, those before whom he sat
in trial were convinced of his guilt
and decided accordingly.
With friends and money to support
his cause, the case of Carter dragged
itself through number of years, and
because of delays and interference in
high quarters the execution of justice
was long postponed. At last, however,
when all technicalit'es had been ex-
hausted and the last hope of executive
clemency was gone, Carter was lodged
in prison, and for more than four
years has been paying a part of the
penalty for his wrong-doing.

New York.-The reason it took 500
policemen, plain clothes men and Sc
cret service agents to guard President
Roosevelt while he was in the city
recently, it was stated, was that the
man arrested under the name of Kal.
man Foldessey was known to be after

loaded revolver in his possession, and
it is known that for a week he has

dessey's intentions were known, and
it was at Secretary Yoeb's request
that Greene detailed such a large
guard for Roosevelt. No one here or
the public knows anything about Fol.
dessey and the police are not talking.
Foldessey is in custody at Bellevue.

ZION CITY FOR A RECEIVER
JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE Is
TROUBLED.
Federal Courts Take Possession Of All
Property Controlled by "EIijah" and
His Host-Hard Pressed by Credi.
tors-Assets Between Twenty and
Thirty Millions-Suits Pending.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Financial Difficult
ties, which began during the crusade
of John Alexander Dowie, the sell
styled elijah H." and his restora
ton host to New York, a month ago
and which have been rapidly increas
ing since Dowie's return, eliminated
in the federal courts taking posses
sion of all the property controlled by
Dowie in Zion City, Ills. This town
which was founded two years ago by
Dowie, has population of over 10000
is the general headquarters for
Dowie's church, and is said to repre-
sent an expenditure of over $4,000,
900.
Fred H. Blount, cashier Of the Chi
cago National bank, and Albert D.
Currier, a law partner of Congress
man Boutell, were appointed receivers
of the property. Their bonds were
fixed at 100000 by Judge Kohlsaat of
the United States district court, who
made the appointment on the petition
of several creditors. The receivers
left for Zion City tonight to take pos.
session Of the property.
The bankrupt proceedings against
Dowie were based on the allegation
that he is insolvent, and that while in
this financial condition he committed
an act Of bankruptcy by making q
preferential payment on November
to the E. Streeter Lumber company of
$3770. Dowie has been hard pressed
by his creditors, and especially since
it was announced that his recent mis-.
sion to New York had proved unsuc.
cessful financially.
Dowie is known to have accumulated
a large sum as the head of the Christ
ian Catholic church, the assets of the
organization being estimated at be.
tween $20,000,000 and $3O,O00,0OO.
There was large outlay Of money,
however, when Zion City was started.
The lace and candy industries were
started, and as both of these ventures
have not been paying investments, a
great deal more money was tied up.
Dowie's differences with his brother
in law, Stevenson, over the manage
ment Of the lace factory, cost more
than 100000, and other suits recently
begun in Lake county by creditors are
said to aggregate a large sum.
