Corps of Milwaukee Surveyors Take

Way of the Lo Lo Pass.

A party of Bitter Root guides, cooks
and packers, including A. e. Ham

J. H. Loveall left for Lo Lo on this
mornings train, and where they go to
join the corps of railway surveyors
organized last week in Missoula.
This party, it is understood, are to
make preliminary surveys of the Lo
Lo pass and along the Clearwater to
Lewiston, Idaho. In view of the fact
that this work is being pushed this
late in the season, winter having al
ready set in on the Clearwater, even
the most skeptical are coming to the
conclusion that "there's something
doing"

of surveying through the celebrated

Pacific coast.
There have been persistent rumors
for the past year or more to the effect
that the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul road has desired to tap the west

line from the western part of South
Dakota and the fact that a corps Of
engineers has been busy in the Lo Lo

throughout the west as the ''su gar
king" stated that lie believed this an
ideal location for a sugar factory and
tory here in time to grind up the crop
of 1906 providing satisfactory arrange
ments can be made.
He is willing to take up the con
tracts already signed up and build a
factory next year providing 5000 acres
of beets are guaranteed.
Only one little hitch was encounter
ed. Mr.. Eccles stated that he doubted
if sufficient white labor could be pro-
cured to handle the crop. He antici-
pates considerable railway construc.
tion throughout the west in the near
future and said the white labor would
prefer that kind of work. Plenty of
Shannon has always expressed a de-
cided preference for Russian labor and
1t has been the understanding that
white labor would be had.
Supt. Shannon, who is in Chicago,
was communicate ted with the next day
and wired that he would waive the
labor question, providing the factory
should be built for 1906 and it was
agreeable to the other farmers.
Mr.. Eccles and associates, with this
understanding, have returned to Salt
Lake, having agreed to close con

factory rates can be secured from the
railway company.
Meanwhile, negotiations are still on
with f. M. Shaw, promoter Of the Bill

son to believe that it is the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul as it is well
known fact that it has been contem-
plating such a move for a long time,
1t is also true that the company re-
Gently made an enormous bond issue
for the purpose Of extending its lines.
Another i'm nportant fact that points to-
wards the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.

the company recently purchased termi-
nails in Seattle at d considerable cost.

who is particularly familiar with the

The jury in the O'Brien local option
case, after being out nearly ten hours

night The jury found the defendant
guilty and fixed the penalty at a fine
of So. Conviction carries with it the
costs, which, in this case, including
both Justice and district court costs,
amounts to bout $50.
The O'Brien case marks the begin
ming of the second series, in which J.
H. Croghan and Harry Townsend are
the star witnesses for the state. Gro
CHAN and Townsend are the ''spotters"
who admitted in justice court at Stew
ensville that they had perjured them
selves in the Donson case, after Don
sons conviction. claiming that it was
a case of mistaken indentity. Gro
CHAN and Townsend were both arrested
charged with perjury but the cases
were dismissed upon motion of the
county attorney.
In the O'Brien case Croghan and
Townsend testified that they haG pur-
chased liquor of F. X. Parmenter in
the Paragon saloon, in the presence of
w. P. O'Brien, the proprietor, on the
night of March TO- The sale to these
parties was denied by the defense. 1t

of Rory Mcleod, Alex Robertson, Jeff

prosecution, on the ground that the
board of county commissioners had no
authority to employ him in that ca
pacity for the reason that he had not
received an appointment as assistant
| county attorney. Upon request of
County Attorney Calkins, Judge Web
ster then appointed Mr.. O'Hara as
sistant county attorney.
A jury was secured without much
difficulty. The prosecution then pre-
sented the testimony of Fred Van
Welt and Oscar Smith, who swore
that on a certain date they had pur-
chased liquor of Bourne at his place of
business in Corvallis. Bourne did
not appear and no attempt was made
by the defense to controvert this tes-
fimony. Instead the attorneys for the
defense contented themselves with at
tacking the legality of the local option
election with view, it is said, to appeal
ing the case to the supreme court.
The case was then given to the jury
which brought in verdict of guilty
and fixing the penalty at a fine Of
500. This, as in all cases where the
defendant is found guilty, carries with
it the costs.
William Mason Acquitted.
The case Of William Mason, bar
tender for All DeRoche of Florence,
was called Thursday Afternoon and
was concluded Friday afternoon at 3
O'Clock. Fred Van Welt and j. j..
Cameron swore that they went to
Florence on the regular freight train
on March 10 and that while the train
was switching they purchased liquor
of Mason, thereupon continuing their

RACE WAR IN KANSAS.
Negro Toughs Have Been Ordered to
Leave CoffeyviiIe.

SOffeyville. Kan. April IA race
war has narrowly been avcrted here
as the result of the assault by a negro
upon Mrs. John Griffith. white, the wife
of machinist. and serious trouble is
still likely. Negroes of the worst class
have been ordered TO leave town before
night. In anticipation of a clash be
tween the two races. the mayor today
issued a proclamation ordering that all
citizens diSdTm. and at the same the
many special officers were sworn in.
Since the negrO'S attack upon Mrs.
Griffith. fellow negroes have been arm
ing to prevent the lynching of any in
nOCent negro, as seemed likely, and
early today an attempt to disarm a
number of blacks resulted in a dozen
revOlVerS being leVeled at Chief of Pc
lice Smiths head. Other negroes rushed
to the scene. when a body of whites
stopped them with leVeled rifles The
leader among the negroes was choked
into insensibility and the others were
subdued, trouble being aVerted for the
time at least. Many arrestst We're
made The negro who assaulted Mrs
Griffith is still at large.
After the arrest Of nine Of their
rlngleaderS the negroes began to leave
the streets Six more negroes were
later arrested without trouble. -Four
( hundred deputies were sworn i'm today
with orders to shoot on the slightest
provOcation. No negro was to be found
on the streets after o'clock. White
people are patrolling the streets to-
night and they say they are deter
mined to rid the town of bad negroes
\ report comes late tonight from Len
pah. twelve miles south Of here in the
Indian Territory, that the negro who
assaulted Mrs. Griffith Tuesday morn
ing has been run down and captured.
The news causes much excitement here,
and a renewal of lynching threats has
been made.
