SIOUX CITY, Iowa, July 26.-Ship-

go to Washington last spring and tes-

sional hearing, are now being punished.
A general wall is arising from Missouri
valley points, that all transportation
"courtesies" have been cut off from
those who did not manifest satisfac-
tory interest in the welfare Of the rail-
roads.
Until two months ago, railroads were
unusually liberal Passes were obtain

who openly favored legislation or took
a neutral stand, have received requests
to return ANIMALS, If they possessed

to issue transportation.

Novel Offense for Which George Cav
anauah Has Been Arrested.

BAKER CITY, Ore, July 26.-An
unusual case has been instituted
against George Cavanaugh, a resident
of Conner Creek section, this county,
has been placed in the county Jail.
About a week ago three prominent
citizens of Baker, DR.. w. L. Parker,
Cashier Donnelly of the First National
bank and w. F. Baker were on an out
ing at the Baker family ranch near
ConnOr creek. While out hunting one
day the trio of sportsmen came upon
Cavanaugn, who had a ranch in that
neighborhood. He demonstrated with
them for hunting, as he claimed, out
of season, but was informed by them
that they were acquainted with the
law, and as they were with rig on
the highway, they kept on hunting on
each side of the road, Cavanaugh go
ing on ahead with his team and wagon,
accompanied by his wife and child.
Hot words har passed between the
parties, and when the sportsmen came
to a narrow grade they found Cavan-
augh's team and wagon across the
road. They allege that he demanded
SO before he would allow the hunting
party to pass. They demonstrated and
informed the rancher that he was
and they finally paid the money under
protest. On returning to the city a
warrant was sworn out for mis- arrest
and now he must stand trial on a
charge of extortiOn.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
G. B. Aubin, Correspondent in Sauser
VS.. Sauser at CoIviIIe.

COLVILLE, July 26.-The case of
Leonora Sauser VS.. Chris Sauser an
action for divorce, terminated in a
judgment for the defendant in all
things excepting for divorce as prayed
for in the crosse complaint. A sequel
to the result was the tragic attempt
of G. B. Aubin, made correspondent of
plaintiff in the cross-complaint of the
defendant, to commit suicide.
Judge Carey, who presided through
the trial, said: Il will not grant d.
vorce in this action to either party.
Nor will I disturb the property inter-
ests involved in this case; in fact,
will deny the relief asked by both par
ties and each shall pay their own costs
and expense"
In conclusion, Judge Carey admin
istered a most singing rebuke to Au-
bin, who was in the audience, and
challenged him or any other mans
right to invade the home of a fellow
citizen and rob them of the sacred
confidence and love of a wife ana
children.
At late hour at night a hurry call
was sent in to the sheriff's office that
Aubin had committed suicide by taking
morphine. Drs. M. r. Peck and A. B.
Cook We're called Immediately and
found that he mad taken fully an ounce
of the deadly drug. Proper restora-
tives were administered and he was
light. His recovery is assured by the
physicians.

AWFUL ROLL OF DEATH.
Cost in Human Life Already More

in lives than it will ever be worth. i'm

L became accustomed to the life af-
ter a time and thought 1 would stay
indefinitely. But a vacation spent in
New York was my undoing. When
returned to Colon after a few weeks
spent here, to find three men l had
known and left in the full flush of
health had died of yellow fever-well.
L just couldn't stand it any longer.
One of them had occupied the room
next to mine. He was taken with the
fever and removed to the hospital.
They all had everything to live for. l

leaving the isthmus 1t was generally
said by those nearest to him that it
was a case of cold feet'-that he was
afraid of the fever-but no one blamed
him because of that fact. He was
criticized, however, for leaving the way
he did. The first rumor there, printed
in Colon newspaper, was that he was
about to leave for a short vacation.
Next thing he was gone for good.
Chief Architect Morris Johnson, who
was to have married in a short time
relative of Mrs Wallace, was taken
sick with yellow fever in her house.
Within a few days after ne was
stricken down he died. The end came
within two weeks of the day set for
his wedding. His bride o-be was in
Chicago. And he was hurried into his
grave as all those must be who die of
yellow fever. This could not but be
an awful thing to Mrs. Wallace.
"Haverstock, in the government en-
ploy, was in the best of health and
spirits when I left Panama for my
vacation. After six days he was dead
and was buried in Monkey Hill ceme-
terry. His room was thoroughly fumi-
gated and the mosquitoes killed. Then
Wentmir went into it. He was sick

to my mind that fumigation does not
