BLACK AVERY IS GIVEN WARNING
Will Not be Healthy for Him if He
Attempts to Garry Out
Threats Made.

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 22-While at
the penitentiary yesterday morning
Sheriff Nichols and Prosecuting At
torney Van Duyn took occasion to have
an interview with BLACK" (Arthur)
Arey, whose term of imprisonment at
the pen will expire tomorrow. Arey
was sent up for 10 years from Canyon
county for highway robbery, his victim
being E. D. Blatchley. He has mad a
bad record as a prisoner, has been one
of the most incorrigible inmates the
penitentiary has ever held and he has
therefore lost all but a few months
of good time.
When convicted, in December, 1896,
Arey is said to have boosted that when
his time was out he would return to
Canyon and do up" certain individ-
uals who had been responsible for his
incarceration. The same threats have
been made by MIN since being con-
fined in prison. The Caldwell officials
took the opportunity to warn the man
that he had better not try to carry out
his threats.

Contractor Henry Secures Large
Number in Montana.
PAYS 5000 PRICE FOR The ANIMALS
CONSTRUCTION WORK ON
LINE AT SEATTLE.

H. c. Henry, who has the contract
for building the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul railroad through Washing
ton, has purchased large number of
horses in Montana, paying as high as
$500 a team for excellent draft ami
mails. These horses have been shipped
from Montana to Washington, is the
report that comes from Seattle.
Mr.. Henry will use the Montana
horses on a sub-contract of fifteen
miles of road his sons have on the
Northern Pacific's north bank extern
sion into Portland. They are now
working in the vicinity of Arlington.
The extra draft horses were hurried
into this state to complete the smaller
contract.
AS soon as the Northern Pacific
work is completed Mr.. Henry will
move his outfit to some point along
the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul. 1t is probable his sons VIII
be given sub-contracts where the
equipment can be used.
the delay on the part of Seattle in
granting the st. Paul's application for
a franchise is preventing an imme-
diate inauguration of the roads build
ing movement in this state. The work
must be started from Seattle ana the
company will not take any steps until
it has terminal facilities here to
handle it's own grading and construc-
ton outfits.
Whenever the franchise is granted
the dock property on the east water
way will be Immediately improved. 1t
is planned by the ST. Paul to ship
most of its construction materials by
water from the Atlantic Coast 1t is
we'll understood in railroad circles that
the ST. Paul has already purchased
enough building material to begin work
and is only awaiting the completion of
arrangements here for the reception
of materials before forwarding them.
1t will require at least sixty days
time for ships to round the Horn with
a cargo of railroad building materials
for Seattle. Mr.. Henry stated that
within sixty days he could build the
St. Pauls new dock and be prepared
to receive shipments. Pile driving and
whatever other work is necessary on
local terminals can be completed by
the time the equipment reaches here.
When the definite location of the
line through Washington is made, and
Mr. Henry is in a position to forward
material and men. he will begin work
at every point that can be reached by
outfits. The entire line, including tun-
nels, will be built within two years.

BET PARKER CAN WHIP 0'KEEFE
Spokane Man Willing to Wager $1,000
On the Denver Boy for
Finish Fight.

SPOKANE, Feb. 22.-'T will bet
$1,000 that Kid Parker can win from
Jack O'Keefe in a finish fight
This announcement was made this
morning by Ed Shelton, manager for
Kid Parker, and who is known in
Spokane as one of the gamest sports
in the city.
Shelton was aroused into making
the statement by the reports circulat-
O'Keefe should another match between
the pair be proposed.
The Kid was handicapped in his
last fight by the knowledge that he
only had 20 rounds in which to do the
work. l feel certain that if the bat
tie had gone 25 rounds, the Kid would
have secured the decision by a knock
out for he was getting stronger every
minute and looked like a winner from
the tenth round.
"O'Keefe stated that he could gain
nothing by fighting Parker again. All
1 can say is that I am willing to bet
$1,000 that Parker would win in a finish
fight. A thousand dollars ought GER
tainly to be a sufficient inducement for
the Chicagoan and if he thinks it is
the money is waiting for him.
Parker's friends are now urging Ed
