SEVERE WIND
FOLLOWS Rain
All Wires Into City Are
Down, But no Otter
Damage Reported

The storm which has ragged over the
entire Lewiston country and the up
per Clearwater continued the greater
part of last night and early this morn
increased damage is reported at any
points by the water, but the violent
winds have played havoc with the
telephone and telegraph wires, and to-.
day not a wire is working out of Lew
iston.
The Western Union wires, telephone
wires and private lines of the railroad
company are down and nothing has
been received since about 8 o'clock
this morning from farther than Ken
drick, the last point at which the
telegraph wires are working.
The telephone wires are down be-
tween Lewiston and Genesee and will
probably not be repaired before night.
Manager Urich this morning started
repairmen out, but the ferry was not
running on account Of the storm and
they were unable to cross the river.
Hope to Have Wire by Night.
1t is believed that the Moscow peo-
pie are expecting the lines to be re-
paired from this end. and as Urich is
unable to communicate with them no
one will be sent out from that end of
the line. A repairman was sent down
on the afternoon train to repair the
telegraph wires, and there are hopes
that these lines will be working by
night.
The water continued to rise during
ing the report was that the water had
raised eight feet in the past 36 hours
The stage of the water in the Snake
river this afternoon is reported to be

While the water raised considerably
there is no definite report OF serious
damage done. The first rise seems tc

damage was done early yesterday

LAND TRIALS
MOVE SLOWLY
Govt Consumes Much Time
In Examination of
the Witnesses


MOSCOW, Idaho, Nov. l5.-From
appearances here this morning the
Robnett case will require more time
than was at first anticipated, if the
examination of the first witness.
George Robinson is fair example Of
what is to follow in the other cases.
Until the witness took the stand the
probable nature OF his evidence was
the topic Of discussion among the peo-
pie here interested in the case.
IF Robinson and Ferris testify in
favor of the government and admit
they swore falsely and at the solicita-
ton Of Robnett, there will be but lit
tie time consumed" was the generai
expression.
The impression was generally out
that both witnesses would confess to
their share of the charges but the
matter was watched with keen in
terest and not until the first words
were spoken were all convinced that
the witnesses would not testify in ia
vor of the defense However every
thing that had been anticipated has
happened, and yet a large amount Of
time is being consumed.
Admits He swore Falsely.
Robinson went on the stand, and
without hesitation admitted his par
ticipation in the fraudulent securing
Of timber claims by false oath yet so
minute is the questioning OF the wit
ness, and SO thoroughly is the govern
ment attempting to establish every
detail Of the case that the one witness
was kept on the stand all yesterday
afternoon, and this morning it appears
he will not ioe released before noon.
From the opening remarks of At
torney Ruick yesterday morning there
are to be larger number Of witnesses
than merely enough to prove the com.
mission of the crime. Mr.. Ruick in his
opening statement to the jury quoted
Mr.. Robnett as making number Of
statement to his friends regarding his
timber operations.
! To Examine More of His Friends.
! Mr.. Ruick will take up the matter
of proving these assertions and will
attempt to further weave the evidence
| that he will connect with the con.
spiracy charges. Just how many O.
Mr.. Robnetts friends will be called
upon to relate conversation with hin
regarding this matter has not beer
! stated, but there Is every indication
| that the trial may hold on for large
than the next day or two.

LAPWAI, Idaho. Nov. 15.-(By
Nez Perce Co-Operative Telephone.)--
As the result of seven knife wounds
inflicted by an Indian woman known
as Lucy Allen, and renowned for her
drinking, lawlessness and gambling.
Henry Carsow. an Indian, Is at the
point Of death, and the doctors have
no hope of his recovery. Several
Of the wounds have pierced his chest
and he is this afternoon gasping for
breath and his strength is rapidly
wasting away.
In the drunken quarrel. which took
place at the home Of Lucy Allen last
night, number of Indians were in
jured, and all blythe knife held by the
woman. She cut the hand of one In
dian, and stabbed man from Cald-
well, a member of Joseph's band, in
the shoulder.
Woman Skips Out.
Lucy Allen and Jim Egaboy, a man
who has lived with her for the past
two years, left today for parts un-
known. 1t is reported that they start
ed up Tom Bell creek in the direction
Of Cottonwood creek.
Lucy Allen is well known to officers
of the law. She was in trouble Tn
Lewiston and placed in the city jail
not very long ago. Last year she re-
ported that prominent man owning
threshing machine had given her
liquor and caused him trouble.
Last night this woman and four In
dian men left the store here for her
home at the mouth OF Tom Bell creek.
They are believed to have had liquor
| with them. Lucy Allen, with her other
| accomplishments, isanoted as a gam
bier. She has gambling games at her
| home, and 1t is great resort for the
Indians who feel inclined TO buck the
| tiger.

and as nearly as the details can be
learned, engaged in a game. They
/ wore al, drinking and early in the
evening had dispute over some OF
the plays. They We're all SO drunk as

! to be desperate. and 1t is thought Lucy
Allen accused the Indians of trying to
cheat her. She seized her knife and
commenced 10 avenge herself.
/, No explanation can be received to-
a,~ of why the Indians did not defend

explanation made today Is that they

Wesleyan Students Do Not Wish Ont Recently Formed.
 Middletown, Oct. 10,-At college meeting yesterday in Memorial chapel, the Wesleyan undergraduates protest ed against the new fraternity, known as Kappa Rho Sigma, which has re- gently been organized. A resolution formed by the college commons, which is composed of non-fraetrnity men, was offered to the effect that the sentiment of the college body, alumni, faculty, fraternity and non-fraternity men, was against the formation of a new fra ternity, for the reason that Wesleyan is already overerowded in this respect. The motion was carried unanimously, there not being a dissenting voice.
 The members of the new fraternity had nothing to say in the matter and it is not known what action will be taken, if any.
 The Kappa Rho Sigma is local or ganlzation, founded in the latter part of last years term. It occupies the old Delta Tau Delta house on College place, which has been furnished at considera- ble expense. The society has pledged" a few freshmen, but at the meeting they were strongly advised to consider the conditions before joining.

THE PRINCE CHAP"
Cyril Scott in Pretty Play of Artist
 Life.

Cyril Scott in Pretty Play of Artistic
 Life.
 At the Hyperion theater last evenino The Prince Chap" by Edward Penle had one of the most successful runs New York has seen; though more In tho approval of the illuminati than in vast houses, It is a story of artistic life. IA model who dies of consumptior leaves her daughter to the care of an American sculptor in London. Tbia daughter appears in the three acts as a child of fine and eight and a woman of eighteen; three having the one role Little Helen Pullman and Edith snearo who are charming youngsters. and strange novelty, really actresses. Miss Justina Wayne plays the part in the third act.
 Cyril Scott plays the part of tba sculptor. He was hailed as a master of this part in the original metropolitan production. There are other artists also; the earl of the Hinglish accent and the monacle, and the delightfui stupidity, besides several others. one of them with temperamental Miller esque beard. Charles Wells, as the butler, is a comioal demure servant , truly, all to the good Miss Keogh is the Topsy-like slavey Of the terrible habits, who becomes a circus ladv, The first two scenes are laid in o studio.
 There is quiet prettiness and deli cacy about this play of the gentler Bo- hemianism, which makes 1t a rest
