Seattle, Wash. Aug. 2.--After dyna-
hitting the county Jail and entirely
wrecking his cell in hopes of being
able to effect his escape, Jack Chester
field fired six shots at the jailor who
attempted to restore order in the cell
and then sent a bullet crashing into
his brain. The wound, it lis thought,
will prove fatal. Chesterfield was to
have been taken to the penitentiary to
serve three year sentence for GRIMM
ally assaulting young girl. He had
two revolvers in his hands and fired at
everyone who approached him. He
was completely .barricaded and was
abe to keep the jailers at bay until the
fire department was called out and his
cell flooded.
1t was not until the man was Estand-
ing in two feet of water that he gave
up and shot himself. Game to the
last breath, he never left his feet and
was taken leaning against his cell,
though leaden bullet had IN a hole,
through his head. Chesterfield was
secretly married in the cell three weeks
ago. Since then his wife has been
given unlimited freedom and it is
thought that she. may have supplied
her husband with what she thought
would be his means of escape, but
which has proved TO DC implements of
selfg destruction.
Two saws were also found in the
cell; the dynamite, it is believed, was
concealed about his clothes. Three
sticks of dynamite were found in the
cell.

Preparing for the strike of their tel
egraphers, the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads are cutting
the wires leading to ali their stations
and taking out the instruments. This
precaution is taken to prevent any
trouble from men breaking into the
stations and getting on the wire for the
purpose of interrupting train orders
that are beding sent out. AS fast as
possible all the instruments are being
taken out of the offices.
The companies are making almost
no exception to this rule, and it is
claimed that the precaution is being
taken even where some of the m an have
stated that they would remain at work.
AS soon as reialble men can be sup
piled the company will put back the
instruments and resume service at the
stations.

CHAPTER xIv-tContinued.)

As soon as the train pulls up, dozen
travellers, of whom l am one, get out on
to the track. By the light of the lantern
it Ia easy to see that the breakage is
not due to malevolence But It is none
the less true that the two last vans, the
mortuary van and the rear van occupied
by the goods guard, are missing. How
far are they? Nobody knows
You should have heard the shouts of
the Persian guards engaged In escorting

were respansiblel The travellers In their
van, like themselves. had not noticed
when the coupling broke. 1t might be
an hour, two hours, since the accident.
What ought to be done was clear
enough. The train must be run back

Nothing could be more simple. But

The train began to run back as soon

Fnruskiar gave him such a look that
he did not care to get another, and stow

Dawn appeared In the east when the
two wagons were found kilometer off,
and tho train gently slowed up to them
after an hours run.
Faruskiar and Changer went to help in
coupling on the vans, which was done
as firmly as possible. Major Noltitz and

that, for they were countrymen of theirs.

Another Pocket Device.

A typewriter for the pocket is one Of
the latest bits of American ingenuity,
specially designed to meet the require
ments of journalists and authors who
need to take notes under conditions
where a pencil and paper would not

without removing the hands from the

to where Mr.. Borah really stands.
After the Moscow convention the
general public was given to under
stand that Mr.. Borah was the can
didate Of the combine that controlled
the state convention for the posi-
ton of United States senator to sue
coed Mr.. Dubois. 1t is now be-
hsved by those in touch with the
present acute state of affairs, that
Mr.. Borah will be alone in his fight
for the senatorship, and that a three
comered combination with Gooding
Brady and Standrod will be lined up
against him, with the north open for
conviction, in other words it will be
Borah against the field. What the
outcome will be no one at present
can intelligently forecast. 1t is the
sincere wish of the Herald that Mr..
Borah win the senatorship two years
hence. With Hepburn and Borah
Ia the senate and French in the lower
house, Idaho would have a repre-
sentation in congress of which she
might well be proud and in point of
ability We would outrank any state
in the Union with the possible ex-
ception of Wisconsin OF Massa-
chusetts.

ment. A. NJ. Roberts, prominent
merchant of Pierce City. under the
heading of "Notice is fair Warning"
writes the following letter to the
Pierce City Miner concerning the
money of the twenty school districts
in that section:
THAT all public school money
due the school districts Of South
Shoshons from Shoshone county for
the years 1904 and 1905, that vas
not turned over to district schools
previous to annexation to Nez Perez
county by vote, will be turned over
to Ner Perez county. and will be
paid out to our school districts I'M
der Nez Perez county apportionment
to schools in said county. Thus a
shortage Of at least one-third in the
school money that otherwise would
be received will occur under said ap-
Portionment, or, in other words,
one-third less than the schools men
toned would receive under Shoshone
county apportionment; or one-third
less than they will receive for the

Cattle and Hogs Soon to Advance.

The president of the Live Stock
Association Of America in a recent
address before that body said that
it behooved every farmer and stock
man to look well to his fiocks and
herds and to bresI more and better
cattle and 10 raise more and better
hogs. The present low price of feet
is not due to surplus but simply to
lull in the general activity of that
commodity. In the event that the
war continues in the far east or in
case it is brought to speedy close.
the demand for American meat will
be equally great. In my opinion
meat products will reach as high q
price in the next eighteen months as
at any time in the FIVE years previous.
This also seems true of the north
west, as the following dispatch to
the Spokesman-Review from Garfield
Washington, indicates: In CONVEX
sation with . Spokesman-Review

1t seems needless to say that the
great vote rolled up by the candi-
dates of the republican party, both
county and state. last year will not
be duplicated in 1906. Already
there are signs of a party split in
Boise, and the administration and
anti-administration forces are lined
up for bitter fight on various meas
ures which may affect the party's
welfare two years hence. Where
Mr.. Borah stands in the present
controversy seems = puzzle even to
those best acquainted With the brill
liant young Boise attorney. As the
present lineup will no doubt affect
the senatorial situation two years
hence, there is much speculation as
