in few feet of the door of the barn in
which he had been working. Mr.. Root
went to the barn about six O'Clock to do
the chores and when he had finished the
work and was about to return to the
house, just as he stepped out of the door
some one struck the deadly blow. He
| was found late in the evening unconscious
with large hole in the top of his head.
| He had also been stabbed twice. He died
| about three clock the following morn.
| ing. MIR. Root was about forty years OF
age and had lived in Rochester for many
years. He had been tor some time en-
ployed at the sawmill of Green & Bean,
| and lived at the home of Mr.. Green. 1t
is reported that Root and Bean have had
considerable family trouble of late.
| Joseph Bean was arrested on suspicion
of being connected with the murder.
At present the state is caring for about
| 700 insane patients, 500 of these being
in the Waterbury hospital and the re-

A meeting of the directors of the YER
mont State Poultry Association was
held Wednesday at ST. Adams. Nearly
all the directors were present and plans
Tor the show to be given in that city dur

length. From the present outlook it is
almost an assured fact that the show
will be much larger one than that Of
last year. Many Canadian poultry
fanciers have already written that they
will send large exhibits and entriNs are
being received from New York state and
nearly all OF the New England states.

Marshal Fred A. Field Removed.
Upon the recommendation of the attor.
ney general President Roosevelt has
removed Fred A. Field of Rutland, mar
shall for the district of Vermont, for
derelictiou of duty in permitting the
escape of three Cinnamon entrusted to
his care for deportation. The prisoners
who escaped were under sentence OF
deportation, and were conducted to
Providence, R. l., on the evening OF June
20, and placed on board steamer at
that point some time prior to p. m.
At $50 the marshal left the boat and
returned to Boston, leaving the prison
ers in charge of his son, who was acting
as his deputy, to accompany the prison
ers to San Francisco. Before leaving the
vessel the marshal informed his son that
two men upon the boat, who he claims
had been pointed out to him as proper
persons, but whom he had never seen
before, might assist him If necessary, and
that he might leave the prisoners in their
charge while we went to supper. The
deputy did so. and upon his return from
supper found that the two men and the
three prisoners had escaped. The mar,
shall claimed that these two men had
been pointed out by the agent OF the
railroad company, with which the gov
eminent had arranged for their trans
portation across the continent. The
agent positively denies this statement
and without passing upon the question
OF veracity raised by this denial, the
attorney general was of the opinion thai
upon the marshal's own story he was

apples to the commission house of
H. L. Griffin & Co., Ogden. When
they received check from the COM

WEISER BRIDGE BILL
IN IDAHO LEGISLATURE
DISCUSSION OF THE MEASURE OCCUPIES
CONSIDERABLE TIME--WAS FIN
ALLY PASSED.

and if the amount was increased he
would have to vote against it.
Galloway explained the Importance
|of the bridge 1t was to 10, located
on a great highway. 1t was the
great point of egress and lngress for
that part OF the country. The county
had built number ofroads tributary
to this highway and the construction
Eof the bridge meant everything to
settlers and emigrants. He detailed
the road plan of the country in very
practical address.
Jensen spoke of the cost of other
contemplated bridges across the
Snake, saying he believed $4,000
+! was quite sufficient.
| Moore of Idaho pleaded for the
amendment in an eloquent and broad
l'gage address in which he advocated
fair and liberal treatment for the
people of Washington county.
Jenkins of Latah asserted that one
end of the bridge rested in Washing
ton and the other in the state of
fOregon. The Washington county
members had explained the benefit
to be derived by the people of their
county but nothing had been said Of
the benefit to the people of Oregon.
A canal company was building huge
system in Oregon through which this
road would pass. 1t was strange
that the Oregonians had not eentri-
button to the erection of the
structure, He read letter from
Representative Test of Malheur coun-
ty, Oregon, stating that no appropria-
tion had been made or would be
made by Oregon for the bridge. He
would suggest that the word Idaho
be striken out and that the enacting
clause read "be it enacted by
the state of Oregon" The solu-
ton was easy, he declared. The
people of Washington county had
raised $15, 900, why should not the
people of Malheur county, Oregon,
raise the remaining $15, 900?
Greer of Shoshone declared that
Oregon was the least progressive OF
the northwestern states because OF
her policy of antagonizing internal
improvements, Idaho's greatness was
due to the manner in which he had
taken care of the needs of her people
| in the way of roads and bridges.
Moore of Idaho said the plea ol
jenkins reminded him of steamboa
, which once piled on the Salmon
i, river. The owner conceived the ides
, of having a big whistle to attrac
farmers to the river banks, but ever.
time the whistle was blown tn
steamer backed down stream.
Steele of Bingham made rninte'
and matter of fact speech in favo
of the bill. 1t was the duty Of til
house to take up meritorions meas
ures as they appeared. Whereve
need was apparent no hesitation
should be shown in giving assistance
A vote on the amendment rein
stating the original appropriatio
was taken and the amendment wa
adopted by an emphatic majorit
= without division. This broke dow
the opposition and no further resis
Il ance was offered to the remainin
's sections.

Water Works,

The past weeks operations on the
water works have been confined to
the attempt to get Golfer dam
across the Weiser. The first one
constructed was faulty and gave
way when the water was pumped
out.
A new one is being constructed.
The weather has gone to the othel
extreme and the low temperature
makes the work very disagreeable,
but the elements are doing their bes
to keep down the waters of the two
rivers until that pipe is laid If {
breakup comes before the feat is &C
complished, the failure will be due
entirely to that ten days, immedl
ately following the last fall of tn
river, in which nothing was done.

A strong fight was made in COM
mittee Of the whole against senate
bill No. by Smith of Washington,
making an appropriation Of S15, 600
for bridge across the Snake river
at Weiser The house committee on
bridges, roads and ferries cut the
appropriation to $40, 900, but an
amendment raising it back to s15, 600
prevailed after long debate and the
bill was favorably recommended
The Fremont reform school bill as
amended was received from the
senate and made special order for
2 p. 10.
Senate bill No. l, by Smith, max
ing appropriation for a bridge across
Snake river at Weiser, was made
special order tor 3 O'Clock Tuesday
In defining the object of house
bill No. AZ by the ways and means
committee, providing tax of l mill
on the dollar for the maintenance of
state educational institutions, Jenkins
of Latah explained that 1t was calcu-
lated to take the state schools out of
politics. 1t would stop these instltu-
tiona from coming before Legislatures
every session with demands for ap-
preparations.
Galloway also approved of the
measure. 1t was passed without a
dissenting voice.
The final touches were given to the
Fremont reform school bill (H. B.
| No. 2O) by the house Immediately
after recess, when the senate amend
ments, changing the name OF the
school, were concurred IN. The bill
passed.
The house then went into commit
tee of the whole, with Werner as
chairman, and senate bill No. l by
Smith, making appropriation for
bridge across Snake river at Weiser,
was taken up.
Smith of Salubria made an ear
nest appeal against the amendment
proposed by the house committee on
roads, bridges and ferries, reducing
, the appropriation from sl5, 600 tc
t $40, 900. The bridge, he said, meant
> a great deal to the people of WeiseI

q scraped and saved an amount equa
s to the appropriation they requested
b Five thousand dollars was a small
| amount to the state, but serious
consideration to the county of Wash
: ington. They had acted IN gooe
e faith, putting up every dollar tnel
{. could raise before asking cent iron
the state.
e Moore of Idaho offered an amend
d ment making the appropriation SO,
It 600.
e Rurke of Blaine said that as
member Of the committee on roads
