way he put it. The practice of
law, he said, should be devoted to
the speediest method of learning
the facts. The Republican thinks
Mr.. Root would have done we'll

recent history it is still fresh in
Uur minds. 1t has always been
our impression that the then Sec

method for not ascertaining the
facts, as witness his conduct of
inquiries relating to the torture
and murder of non-combatants
and prisoners of war by the var
ious Hell Roaring Jacks" of the
United States army of occupation

insults to Gen. Miles, because
that old soldier refused to re-

by such atrocities. Still, Mr..

Happenings

Special correspondence
P. L. O'Bannon and d. R. Clark have
returned from a business trip to Elk
City. They report a good time and a
successful trip, notwithstanding the adj
verse conditions on Old Badly.
We certainly should appreciate the
efforts that are being put forth for a
mail route from Elk City to Calender.
This would put us in closer touch with
the big Buffalo Hump district. 1t will
have a tendency to bring more travel
by this route, rather than follow the
INSCRIPTIONS ~misleadings of the Lewis
ton and Grangeville hot air route via
Adams camp. 1t also appears to the
writer that every effort should be made
and brought to bear on the proper
authorities to have a mail route to
Thunder mountain via Clearwater, Elk
and Dixie.
The Clearwater people recognize the
fact that the success of our nelghbor-
ing mining camps are to a great extent
their success. The writer being a
member of the mining bureau, situated
at Lewiston, frankly admits that the
bureau has not done justice to the
mining districts which lies 81 near us.
They appear to have but n ideal,
Buffalo Hump. That is good, which we
are all proud to admit, but why show
partiality without a just cause. Yes,
they have gone so far az to get into a
quarrel among themselves. The writer
saws 90 to it, like the tortoise. Blow,
bob. the head will come out soon, and
the true worth will finally succeed.
julie Reser is s%ojourning in Clearwat-
err for a few days.
O'Bannon & Clark are showing a
beautiful line of mems clothing this
week. Their large line of dry goods
are expected in this week.
We have not as yet heard of any
weeping or crashing of teeth. Neither
have we heard of any political dough-
with which to make candidates, for the
various offices this fall. 1t is about
time aspirants are out kissing the ba-
bies and extending the glad hand to the
voters.
George Tinker, of the firm of Foulks
& Tinker, is farming this week.
C. M. Dewitt, late of Red river, is
laughing all the time. Why? Because
he has another girl three days old al
his house. Only the best cigars go witt

La Crosse, Wis.,, Nov. 18.-George
Tuchek, young man of good stand

claiming he had killed a stranger by
holding his head under water until he
drowned. The police searched for the

though a small man, says he threw
the stranger down the bank couple
of times and then had to hold his head

his body. The police think there is
more to the story, and are investiga.

eminent investigation into the affairs
at the Winnebago reservation in
Thurston county. and who was later
removed from his parish by Bishop
Scannell of this city. was last night
arrested on state warrant charging
him with forgery. Deputy Sheriff
Kelso Of Thurston county took Father
Schell back last5enight to answer to
the charge. The warrant charges that
Father Schell forged the name Of Mrs.
Little Walker to certificate of de-
post drawn by the Bank OF Homer.

persecution. He explains the forgery
charge by saying that Mrs. Little
Walker and her husband sought his
address about transferring $4,000 to
another bank. According to his story
he signed the certificate and the
woman made her mark in the pres
ence of witnesses, one of whom cor
roborates the priests story. The

posed to have been murdered on or

CLAIM THEY ARE BLOCKED BY
THE COUNTY ATTORNEYS
OFFICE.
IN GERHARD MURDER INQUIRY
IT Is BELIEVED THAT IMPOR.
TANT ARRESTS WILL BE
MADE SOON.

New Ulm, Mimi, Nov. 1S.-County
Attorney Eidar Hoidale has been re-
quested by committee from the city
council, consisting of Mayor Charles
Silverson and w. Idner, president OF
the council, to resign his position.
The request was inspired, it is under
stood, by the Pinkerton detectives
working on the Gebhardt murder case,
who assert that they are being
blocked at every turn by the county
attorneys Office. Mr.. Hoidale refused
to resign, but told the committee that
he would step out as soon as an ar
rest is made, If the arrested person
proved to be some one he could not
prosecute because Of personal inter
est.
Return to Original Clue.
The latest move Of the detectives
proves conclusively that they have re-
turned to the original clue. the And
ing of the handkerchief hearing the
initials Of DR.. George r. Koch, den.
tist, in the room of the murdered man.
Koch is a brother-in.,aw OF Hanry
Somsen, who is Hoidale's Jaw partner.
and the detectives assert that he is
being shielded by the county attorney.
Arrests Coming Soon.
While the detectives are non-com-
initial, 1t is confidently believed in
New Ulm that an arrest will be made
net later than Saturday and that DR..
Koch will be charged with the MUIR
der, and Asa p. Brooks. who
Saw the Murderer
at his work, will be charged with be-
ing an accessory after the fact.
Brooks arrest, il it is ordered, will be
on the assumption that he could tell
who was the murderer If he desired
to do SO.
DR.. Koch spends most of his time at
home and is greatly agitated over the
matter. He does not object to being
arrested. as he thinks that the only
way in which his reputation can be
completely indicated. He says he
has told all he knows about the case,
but the officers persist in believing
that he has not done so, and he is
ready for his trial.

Three Men Get Drop on Him In Big
Horn Valley.
Cody, Wyo., Nov. 18.--According to
news received by telephone from
Thermopolis one of the Cody bandits
has been captured. This was the
larger of the two men who robbed the
ThermOpOlis saloon. The captured
man appears to fill the description of
the one who shot Middaugh in the at
tempted bank robbery in Cody. The
capture was made by three men in
the Big Horn valley few miles from
Thermopolis. The three men rode
cautiously up to the ruffian and got
the drop on him. Questioned as to
the identity and whereabouts of his
partner. he refused to talk. Upon his
person were found revolver and
some money that are known to be the
same as that taken from Edwards
saloon. Parties from Cody will go to
ThermopOlis to identify the captured
man as one of the two men who at
tempted to hold up the bank at
Cody.
