their attacks on railways have been

NATURE FAYORS WEISER.

The Evening Bulletin calls atten-
ton to the communication Of Mana
ger E. M. Heigho, of the P. & 1. N.
Railway, concerning the wagon road
to Big Greek. The Bulletin is frank
enough to say that what 1t desires is
to advance Bosses interests in this
matter. Boise Is the metropolis of
the state in certain sense, but it is
not so situated that it can hold the
position of mining metropolis. The
road from Boise TO Big Creek would
be 20 to 30 miles longer than the
road from Weiser to Big Creek, and
the former would be less favorable as
to grades, The fact that the bulk of
the travel and traffic destined to Big
Greek and the Thunder Mountain
districts now goes via Weiser shows
plainly enough which route is the
favorite. Boise will find it hard to
buck against nature, and the natural
outlet for all the big mining camps
in the above districts is Weiser.
Please, Mr.. Bulletin, why is it that
all the old pioneers always recon-
mend the Weiser- Warren route to
Thunder Mt. and Big Creek, contrary
to Mr.. Pilmer's ''wise" opinion?

COMPLETE STORY Or
MURDER AT RESORT
VAIN and Long Killed With
out Warning Trouble
Started Over Some
Mining Claims.

A special correspondent to The SIGNAL
from Grouse Creek, dated July 81, says:
The greatest excitement prevails
here today over the killing of the old
man VAIN, of Welser. and Mr.. Long,
of Spokane. Both were shot and in
stantly killed by Bob Wetter. Two
more men, Jack Glare and Mr..
Campbell of Spokane, saved their
lives by flight. 1t appears that there
was some trouble over a mine at the
foot of War Eagle Mountain, which
is two miles north of the Golden
Rule mine. This trouble started last
summer and Wetter had brooded
over it and made threats as to what
he would do, bat no fresh trouble
coming up, the others were working
quietly and had no suspicion that
Wetter meant mischief. Wetter and
Mr.. Campbell lived In one cabin, and
about quarter of mile away, Mr..
Glare, Mr.. VAIN, Mr.. Long and his
son, who Is only ID years of age,
lived in another cabin.
Tuesday evening Wetter took his
Winchester and started out toward
the other camp. He had been drink
ing little during the day, and after
he was gone few minutes, Camp.
bell felt uneasy and started after
him. When only short distance
he heard shot, and in about three
minutes another one. He ran as fast
as he could and when he arrived at
the camp he found Mr.. VAIN lying
by the camp fire dead-shot in the
back. lie went inside the cabin and
found Long in bed dead, shot
through the head Both were dead
and the camp deserted. AS Wetter
had said he would do both Claire and
himself, Campbell thought he was
after Claire and he took to the
brush. He went to the saw mill
where the Matthias boys were at
work, and they started out to find
Claire and give the alarm. They
found Clare and went with him to
the Golden Rule.
In few minutes Wetter came mn
with his gun in his hand and told
what he had done, and said he would
get the other two yet. He expressed
no regrets for what he had done Int

about it. He was placed under guard

Cal Hubbard started with him 10

he was sitting not two feet from
VAIN when he was shot instant

says he called to the boy to run, but
1ld not see In what direction he
went, and as he did not answer them
when called they supposed he
thought it was Wetter calling. The,
BOY was found in the brush very
weak from loss of blood. He was
aiken to Resort, where could receive
medical attention.
