Washington, Aug 23-Arlu and Ardi.
the sons OF the Chinese minister. who are
soon TO depart for Amherst TO enter a
school, have all the love OF mischief that
could be packed into their rather small
frames. Richard Callaghan, street-paving
contractor. discovered this when he was
engaged on street near the legation
some weeks ago.
Every night the red lamps he put on
his paving material disappeared or were
extinguished Keeping him constantly In
trouble with the police. Finally ne set
a watch. and then found that the mis-
chief-makers were the young Cinnamon.
He reported his troubles 10 the state de-
partment by advice OF the policeman on
the beat. but the department did nothing
Then a new policeman arrested Cal
laghsn and arraigned him In the police
court. but on the contractor satisfying
the court that IL was the Chinese boys
who had extinguished the lights he wsS
discharged.
The state department Is the only power
that can put an end 10 their pranks. and
that only by suggesting that II the pranks
continue this government will send the
boys father home 10 China.

Securing Right-of-Way

Greenville Holbrook, right of
way, agent for the Lewiston &
Southeastern electric railroad ar
rived here Tuesday to begin work
on securing the right of way from
this place. Quite number of
land owners on the proposed road
reside here and as far as seen all
were willing and glad to give the
necessary land. The deeds pro-
vide that in case the road is not
built and in operation within three
years the land reverts back to the
original owner so the people can
lose nothing unless the road is
actually built. Very little trouble
is anticipated in securing the right
of way as every one should be
more than anxious to have the
road built and with its completion
the value of their property will be
increased many times the value of
the land donated. Mr.. Holbrook
expects to have all of this work
completed by the first Of April
when the officers will make a trip
east to make final arrangements for
beginning construction.

Against Forest Reserves.

G. f. Macy, of this state who

is reported as saying: | live in

western border, region abound

is now being rapidly developed.
If this country is put into a reser-
walton it will stop all mining enter
prises and will bring ruin on a
good many men who have put all
their means in the business. They
are bound to use the adjacent tim
ber in getting out the ore, and
nature put it there, apparently for
that use. A few OF us who are

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
Denver Merchant Assaulted
BY Masked Highwaymen

Henry Kuther, a pioneer citizen
OF this county and well known
merchant at Denver, was wounded
last night by two masked men who
entered his store for the purpose of
robbery. The attempted holdup
occurred late in the evening when
Mr.. Kuther was in the store alone.
Two masked men entered and with
drawn revolvers demanded his
money. Instead of complying Mr.
Kuther drew his own revolver and
began shooting. The robbers did
likewise and in the fight that fol-
lowed ten or twelve shots are
believed to have been fired. Mr..
Kuther was hit in the right breast
the ball passing through the body
and lodging under the shoulder
blade. Both robbers are also
believed to have been wounded and
in their hasty retreat left hats,
gloves and one mask. The news
of the fight was immediately tele-
phoned here and in a short time a
posse was in pursuit. A message
this morning from one of the pur-
suing party reports that blood
was found on the tracks of the
robbers between the store and the
point where the horses were tied.
Some trouble was found in follow
ing the tracks of the horses, but
before daylight they were traced to
a farm house where the highway
men are now supposed to be.
A number of men are watching
the house until the sheriff arrives
and there is strong belief that
they have the right parties and
that both are wounded which pre-.
vented them from continuing theil
flight.
DR.. Stockton went over but the
critical condition in which hi
found Mr.. Kuther made it impos
sible for him to determine tn,
exact course Of the bullet.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE
The Gard FenWick Company
March l4th-One Week

The Oard-Fenwick company
played here last Tuesday evening to
a large and appreciative audience,
their Comedy drama, entitled
"My Friend From Arkansas" in
four acts. To say that this COM
pany is one of the best on the road
would be mildly expressing it, for
it is most certainly strong COM
pany taking their parts perfectly,
while the orchestra, headed by
Mr.. Gard, was a. treat in itself.
The company furnished some rich
scenery which, added to the lus-
tire of the play, we have failed
to find a dissenting voice, and it is
to be regretted that they could
not have stayed another night,
and like all our sister towns that
they have visited, we exultantly
hope that the ard-Fenwick com.
pany will again visit us at
no distant date.-International
