Mill Burned at Dickvale.

Putnam's mill at Dickvale in the towr
OF Peru, caught fire Wednesday evening,
it is supposed from spark from the
smoke stack. The blaze quickly en-
wrapped the building, which was burned
to the ground, the means of fighting fire
being inadequate to quench the hot
blaze. None of the machinery was taken
from the mill, and it is question if II
can be used again.
While the mill was not new one, yet
it was doing good business at saving
out spool bolts, this springs work hav.
ing used up four hundred cords or so OF
birch wood.
The fire burned fieIcely for two or
three hours and the light was seen
brightly from the near by towns.
The loss is estimated at $1,000 which ia
total, with no insurance.

BY Rev. Mr.. Colson. The organ and

assisted by the school children, held an
appropriate and interesting service at
WOodlawn Cemetery. !,
In the evening Mr.. Galley OF Portland

Great credit is due the committees

Sunday afternoon the church was
again filled to listen to the baccalaureate
sermon by Rev. F. E. Barton. The
church was daintily decorated with
green and white bunting, and in the CEN
tire Of the organ the class banner, 1904,
was hung. The pulpit was banked with
white lilacs. The sermon was full OF
helpful suggestions. The music was OF
high order, and the exercises were a
fitting prelude to the exercises which
followed duri6g the week.
Thursday Odeon Hall was filled to the
doors to do honor to the graduating
class. The hall was very lastly deco
rated with green and white bunting and
the wall back of the stage covered en-

Parker and Mabel Dinkins, 20 year old
igrls, were drowned Monday morning
i'll backwater slough ON the Schneck-
10th place on Snake river, lat the mouth
of Deadman creek.
The girls had risen before the
Schneckloth family was up and went
fishing in skiff. There was no eye
witness to the accident. 1t appears
that in attempting to land, the boat
slid out from under them as they tried
to step out. Both bodies were recovered
about two hours afterward by Jack
Carmiere and Gus and Jim Schneck-
10th by dragging the slough. The girls
had been visiting at the SchnecKloth

Slowly and with much difficulty, but
with lack of feeling abnormal in a
woman and a mother, Mrs. Jeanette
Harris. wife of -. r. Harris, living
on 10 acre plat one mile out of North
Yakima, Wash, admitted the murder
of her infant grandson-a murder done
in a shocking manner two days after
birth to shield the character of her
daughter Pearl Harris, aged 10 years.
In the chill gray of the dawn yester-
day, crouched under the shelf of a
bank covered with rank weeds, within
10 feet of the body of the murdered
infant.
The woman came to Spokane Sat

shortly after o'clock. She bore with
her days old infant and while in
the Pullman coach attracted the at
tention of the conductor and porter
by her strange actions.
1t is the belief that the woman was
demented.

Philadelphia, June 15 Robert Goe-

most beautiful girl in Philadelphia,
were married in little st. Mary s church
at Wayne, a suberb of Philadelphia.
Alice Roosevelt was the bridesmaid.
There has not been anything for years
over which the general public has had
SO much fun. There was mobbing of
the bride by scores of women; there
was pillaging of the church after the
ceremony and the removal of all dec
orations as souvenirs; there was gaping
curiosity that made one woman lose her
false teeth; there was a crush and
swelter of guests confined in tented
corridor, spectators perched in trees
and on fences, and 20 enterprising
dressmakers who came out in advance
of the special train so as to gather
hints from the gowns of the guests.

THREE KILLED DURING FIGHT.
BryantsviIle, Indiana, the Scene of an
Street Duel

Bryantsville, Indiana, the Scene of an
Street Duel
Bryantsville, Ind, June IA - Three
dead and two wounded, one fatally, is
the result of a duel fought on the
streets of this village today.
James Rout, 32 years of age; Char
les Route, 36 years of age; Milton Low,
81 years of age.
James Low, 80 years of age fatally
wounded.
Frank Low, 26 years of age, severely
wounded.
The fight is the elimination of a
feud between the Route and Low fam
lilies, which existed for several years.
The Routes reside at Bedford, eight
miles east of EVANSVILLE, and the Low
boys are farmers near there. The lat
ter are relatives of the Low family
which participated in the LoBass feud,
which made bloody record in south
ern Indiana.
A free gavel road election was being
held here today, and the little village
of 300 was crowded. Farmers from the
surrounding country gathered, and
there had been considerable drinking.
The fightstook place in front of the
election polls. 1t is in doubt who fired
the first shot. Each of the five men
drew revolver, and each side adj
vanced, all firing. The men were not
Is feet apart when the firing ceased,
and ON the ground three lay dead, one
dying with a bullet through his neck,
and one still stood with a bullet wound
through his arm and one in his side.
Rev w. B. Mcfarland died at Lew
iston recently, in his S5th year.
