Mr.. sHAERoTH RESIGNS.

THE CASE Of Congressman Shafroth
4 of Colorado IS absolutely unique
in the history Of the house OF repre-
sentadves. Elected by a comfortable
majority in 1902, Mr.. Shafroths seat
was contested by lis defeated oppO-
nent. Evidence presented in the contest
showed that a number OF frauds had
been committed and that all OF them,
apparently. were in favor OF Mr.. Shat
roth. Instead of holding TO his seat un-
III the last possible moment, Mr.. Shat
roth has voluntarily resigned.
IF 1 were a judge on the bench and
this case should be brought before me, "a
he said TO his colleagues, II should be
in honor bound 10 decide it against my
self"
it IS evident that Mr. Shafroth is the
sort Of man one can tie to with perfect
safety. His opponent admitted that
afr. Shafroth had no part lin the frauds
committed on his behalf. The unlawful
work vas done without his knowledge
OF consent but he suffers just the same.
Ills retirement from the house. where
he has served for nine years with dis
tInguished ability, first as q Republi-
can ana later IS a silver Republican, is
with the fun confidence OF his asso-
GATES and his constituents.
The Republicans of the house should
find in Mr.. ShafrCth's action an eX-
ample sadly at variance with pTece-
dents they have set, notably in the

tive who was recently Ousted FOR the

Mystery Cleare d Up.

The mystery of the poisoning of
the miners in the Secesh meadows
has been in degree cleared up by
the chemical analysis of the stom-
ach of l.. G. briggs one Of the VIC
Tins, says the Lewiston Tribune.
The report of the examination was
made to State Food Commissioner
Mcpherson, who arrived in the city
yesterday. The stomach of fDriggs
was sent to Mr.. Mcpherson who
secured the examination and the
result shows that trace of copper,
tin and zinc with an abundance of
ptomaine alcoloids were found in
the stomach and intestines of the
poisoned man. The chemists re-
port covers several pages and tests
for all the principal poisons are re-
cited with results attained. The
cause of death is attributed to the
ptomaine poisoning, but the origin
of the poison is unknown. Scien-
lists differ on the origin of the poi
son and various causes are ad-
vanced for it's presence in canned
meats and vegetables.
Great interest was aroused in
the camp by the appearance of a
clairvoyant, Mrs. FL. G. Stafford,
who was friend of A. l.. Larson,
the first victim of the mysterious
poisoning. Mrs. Stafford prevailed
upon the miners to exhume the
remains of her friend and in a
trance she claimed to have con-
versed with his soul. Mrs. Stafford
afterwards visited Lewiston and
told of her weird experience in the
Salmon river mining camp.

The convention was very har-
monious one and marked by great
enthusiasm throughout.
The naming by acclamation of
Ex-senator Henry Heitfeld for gov
ernor was a splendid demonstra-
tion and shows the high regard in
which he is held, not only by the
democratic party, but by the whole
people of the state.
Many republicans were present
who pledged their support to Heit-
field and, with a strong platform
pledging the party to defend the
"two mile limit law" opposing the
sugar bounty and strong plank
against polygamy, it looks like a
regular land slide to the demo-
cratic state ticket.
The platform will appear in full
next week.

RiTTER'S BODY FOUND.
Lost in a Snow Storm Four
Years AGO,

James Hemphill, a prospector in
Buffalo Hump, last week dis
covered what is supposed to be the
remains of Charles M. Ritter, a
young man who was lost in snow
storm nearly four years ago.
On December 20, 1900, Ritter,
in company with Russ Davidson
and d. B. Wilson, started in
severe snow storm to come from
the Hump to Grangeville on snow
shoes. They had gone but short
distance when Ritter broke one of
his shoes and returned to get pair
of web shoes saying that he would
soon overtake them. He returned
and got the webs but was never
seen afterwards. Searching parties
were sent out but after several
weeks of hard work in deep snow
the search was abandoned and it
was supposed that he had fallen
over one of the many bluffs in that
section. In the summer brother,
John Ritter, came out from New
Castle, Colorado, and with party
of experienced mountain men made
a thorough search but without sue
cess.
Last week Mr.. Hemphill found
the skull, several bones and parts
of the clothing about nine miles
north of the Hump and upon look
ing about found the frames of
pair of web shoes near where an
old camp fire had been built. He
Immediately reported his discovery
at the Hump and the coroner has
been notified and further investi-
CATION will be made, when some
thing will be discovered that will
possibly identify the unfortunate
man.
At the time of his death his
brother lived at New Castle, Colo,
and his mother at Austin, Mo.

and empowered to make all neces-
sary arrangements.

Fire at Cracker Jack.

G. A. johnson arrived here to.
day from the Hump and reports a
fire at the Cracker Jack mine
Tuesday evening. The blacksmith
shop and timber sheds were des-
troyed and two sets of timbers in
the tunnel. The loss is partially
covered by insurance and while it
is not considered very serious it
will cause temporary delay in
work with the machine drills.
Three men were in the tunnel at
the time and narrowly escaped
being caught.
