A SAD AFFAIR.
B. F.TraynOr Loses Son and Daughter
by Death.

B. F. Traynor Of Emmett came
into Caldwell, Tuesday morning
having learned that his daughter,
Vina, had met her death by small
pox at Baker City. On arriving
here he received a telegram an
nouncing the death of his son J. K.
Traynor, near Pocatello. James
Traynor came to his death from a
gunshot wound in the small of his
back. The Pocatello Advance
gives the following regarding his
death:
"It seems that Sunday morning
about nine o'clock Mr.. tTraynor
took the team to 20 to the timber
after load of poles. He did not
return at dark but not much was
thought of it as he had been late in
getting in on the night before on
account of the load slipping off a
grade and having to be unloaded
and loaded again. But when eight
o'clock came and he did not appear
Mrs. Traynor had Mr.. Guffey go
| go look for him. About two miles
from the house the team was found
standing in the road and Mr.. Tray.
nor was lying few feet away down
an embankment stiff in death and
the body nearly frozen, indicating
that life sad been extinct probably
two hours at least.
After Mr.. Traynor had his loac
of poles on the sled, he placed &
loaded, double barrelled shotgun
just behind him on the load and sal
with his feet hanging over the
front. The jolting resulted in let
ting the poles spread enough to per
NIT the stock of the gun to dror
down when the trigger caught ii
the chain with which the load wa.
bound and the gun discharged
Mr.. Traynor received both loads ii
the small of the back. He got of
or fell off the load and then rollet
few feet down an embankmen
where there were many signs o
the struggle through which he pass
ed in the pain and agony which h
must have suffered before the wount
and loss of blood brought death t.
his relief"
Both James and Vina Trayno
were well-known in this city, tn
family having lived here numbe
of years. the children attending ou
public schools.
Mr.. Traynor has lived at Poca
tello the past IL or IS years, an
was pretty well-to-do at the time c
his death.
Miss Vina Traynor was at Bake
City attending school.
The bereaved parents have tn

W. r. Sebree viii Build Road TO Boise
on Old Grade.
WILL TAKE ABOUT $3.50, 900
Ono of the Greatest ScheEses Ever
Thought Of, and Means
Much to Boise Valley

For some time VAR. Sebree has
been figuring on building a railway,
either steam or electric, from Cald-
well to Boise, and finally his ar
rangements are all complete except
procuring a right of way into that
town so as to get UP to, the 0. S. L.
tracks. Heis now negotiating with
the trustees of the old Boise-Butte
right of way, and with fair pros"
poets of success. The road will
branch off at Middleton, running
into the Pearl mining district. 1t
is also proposed to extend it west
of Caldwell into the Roswell coun-
try. Sebree owns half interest in
the old grade between here and
Boise and the projected road will
run along it. The estimated cost
is about $35o,ooo. 1t is believed
that the building of this road will
help to make Boise quite a town.
The News has it on the highest
authority that an electric railroad
will be in operation between Boise
and Caldwell before another IL
months rolls around. w. R. Sebree,
the millionaire banker of Caldwell,
is after the right of way from
Caldwell to Boise, which was Sc
cured for the now defunct Boise and
Butte railway. In fact it is.asserted
upon excellent authority that Mr..
Sebree, who was in the city Satur"
day will soon file with the trustees
Of this right of way, proposition
take it over for the purpose Of con-
stucting an electric railway.
The trustees of the right of way
are Nathan Falk, w. H. Riden'
baugh and Bishop Glorieux, who,
when interviewed, refused to give
out any statement with regard tC
the matter.
However, it can be stated thai
Mr.. Sebree's proposition would be
to build the electric road within
one year of the acceptance of hi:
offer and the signing of the papers
Good judges estimate that the roac
would cost in the neighborhood o
$500, 900, and as it would give
Boise constant connection with the
main line of the Oregon Short Line
would be a great factor for this city
1t is given out that Mr.. Sebret
would construct several branches
making a projected net work O
electric railways over the valley be-
tween Boise and Caldwell.
1t is to be sincerely hoped tha
the trustees will feel justified ii
granting the request of Mr.. Sebre'

CALL BUREAU 1905 G STREET, y
". WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-Although
the Administrator had carefully sounded
the leaders in the Senate as to the
chances for immediate ratification of the
Hay-Herbert treaty. signed yesterday.
which provides for the submission Of the
Alaskan boundary dispute 10 a commits
sion of three Americans and three Brit
0ns. the convention was to-day the sub
jcct of wide comment among members Of
both branches of Congress.
The treaty came as a surprise because
the question has not recently been press
ing for settlement. and it is thought not
at All unlikely that England has taken
advantage OF the Venezuelan situation TO
suggest 10 this Government that the
Alaskan question be- settled by the United
States consenting 10 its consideration by
commission
American members Of the joint high
commission refused to consider this ques-
rion. because they held the ground that
The United States view Of the boundary
was SO just that there was no room for
argument. BY the signing Of the treaty
yesterday a concession was made to Eng
land which cannot fail 10 favorably in
clire England toward the United States
desire that the Venezuelan question be
settled speedily and amicabiy on generous
terms proposed by MT. Bowen
The view Of the Administration Is that
although this concession is made. the
strength Of the United States claim is 50
pronounced that there is an excellent
chance Of al least one member Of the
British side Of the commission becoming
80 convinced The United States would
mot gree 90 arbitrate. for in that event
tho result probably would be a compro-
mise. and The United States. sure of the
justice Of its contention, would not be

one of secondary into one of the highest
Importance, in which the prestige and
honor Of Germany are seriously involved.
The jingo spirit is advancing. 1t is well
to realize that the anti-American feeling
is not confined, as at the time of the
Spanish war, to the middle classes, but
is warmly espoused and strongly ex-
pressed by the best people. With them
the United States is now odious and their
remarks are very harsh.
The statue of Frederick the Great Of
fered by the German Emperor to the
War Academy in Washington, which
caused so much discussion, may not be
erected at ALL The State Department has
addressed an appeal to this Government
asking that the erection and unveiling of
the statue be postponed indefinitely, ow-
ing to the inability of the authorities TO
obtain a suitable site. But the donor is
rather inclined to regard this request as
a polite pretext. The postponement is
doubly disappointing because the Emperor
planned to have either the Crown Prince
or Prince Henry of Prussia attend the
unveiling and thus cause another pro-
German demonstration in America.
There are clear evidences that the
Kaiser is vigorously conducting affairs by
means of the war party, which, ever
srnoldering, has now burst forth and
holds supremacy over the diplomacy rep
resented by Count Won Bulow. and that
there is no disposition to minee matters
here.
Moderate men are asking whether the
whole situation has not been worked up

Notorious Henry Cummins Meets
Death on q Street of

MIDDLESBORO, KY, Jan. 25. = Henry
Cummins notorious among the high
waymen Of the mountains, met death
from ambush before daybreak here to-
day on one of the principal streets.
James A Turner, who was walking with
him, was shot in the arm. The assassins
are unknown.
1t is common report that Cummins
killed John Gorham, president of the
United Mine Workers Union, two years
ago; Greenwood Ward soon afterward
and Branham Elan, Kentuckian, about
a year ago The deaths of others are
generally attributed to him. 1t is al

PENDLETON, Or. Jan. "a bad
washout twcnty-six miles east of here
near Bingham Springs, wrecked the Port
land Chicago flyer this morning, killing
both engineer and fireman and seriously
injuring William Maxwell, passenger
from McKittrick. Cal. VINO was on his
way to Baker City. Or. TO visit his
mother. He is said to be commercial
traveller. The dead are:
THOMAS PATTY. engineer, La Grande.
or.
WILLIAM MILLIGAN. fireman, La

Both were instantly killed. Patty's body
was found lying partly in the water, part
~ on the bank. Milligan's body was found
tonight a mile away, where the stream
had washed it. Maxwell's physician says
the extent of his injuries cannot be told
yet. He is hurt internally and on the
shoulder. but viii probably. recover.
The washout was caused by Meacham
Creek, a small mountain stream. which
heavy rains and melting SHOWS of the last
few days have converted into a raging
river six feet deep in places. East OF
Bingham Springs it elbows in against the
railway bank and had undermined it for
$50 feet
When the fast overland struck the weak
spot it shot straight into the middle of
the stream, only three cars staying out of
the water. A dozen passengers were cut
by glass. bruised and shocked. Their
wounds were dressed and they went on.
The baggage car and mail coach were
splintered There is general comment
that more people were not killed consid-
ering the nature of the wreck and the de-
struction Of property.

Dispute as to Which
Fired The First
Shot.

- ARACAS. Jan. 2-Inquiries
have been made with a view
~ of ascertainins- whether the
- German gunbOat Panther or
%S% Fort San Carlos fired the first
shot. The Foreign Minister
said:
The Panther on January II attacked
the fort first without provocation. The
gUnboat approached the fort and fired
upon it, We can guarantee that the at
tack was premeditated and planned in
Berlin. The proof Of this assertion Is let
ter we received on the morning Of Janu-
airy Is from. Curacao and which President
Castro retains in his possession notifying
US that San Carlos would be attacked be-
tween January Is and January 1S-that Is
to say, before the arrival of United States
Minister Bowen at Washington. Another
proof that the attack was premeditated is
the circumstance that General Bello, who
Is commanding the fortress, received no
notification as to the object Of the Pan
ther in approaching the fortress. similar
to the written ultimatum that the Ger
mans transmitted through the United
States Consul to the Venezuelan repre-
sentative at Puerto Cabello when Fort
Libertador was shelled.'
The letter referred to has been commu-
nicated to certain legations.
CLAIMS TO HAVE PROOF.
DIR. Cardenas, President Castro's secre-
tary, was at first unwilling to discuss the
subject. but afterward said:
The Panther attacked first. We have
proof of it. Germany may try to explain
her conduct by asserting that the fort fired
on the vessel first. but we deny il. 1t was
