Several of Magnificent Ships
to Ride in Hampton

Among the finest vessels 10 be found
in the service Of the United States are
the Revenue Cutter Service ships,

Hampton Roads near Norfolk, Va,

Several thousand lives have been
saved through the agency OF the Rev
enue Cutter Service, and many hum
dreds are saved every year. The last
notable exploit Of the service was the
pulling Of the tramp steamer Drumel-

Finally. by orders Of the Government,

in very narrow and very dark part
of the trail. He had been on the alert
for robbers as he came down the
trail and had carried a revolver in
his hand most of the way. He was
SO near Hamiah that he thought all
danger had passed and had put his
revolver back in his pocket. Without
warning the blow was dealt him and
he was struck across the neck. The
robbers did not relieve him of his re-
volver.

Although this is not the time OF
year for sheep sales, several have
been made within the past few days
OF these the most important was the
sale of 5000 wethers by Rugg Bros
to James Wright, the North Yakima
buyer. The sheep were some that
have been fed by Rugg Bros. at their
ranch near this city, and the sale
was in the nature of cleanup on
their part. The sheep were purchas-
ed as mutton for the Seattle and Ia
coma markets, and are to be taken
by Mr.. Wright as needed. They were
purchased without the wool and be-
fore being shipped are sheared by
Rugg Bros. Three carloads have al
ready been shipped out, and more will
follow soon.
While the price paid for the Rugg
sheep has not been given out, it is
understood to have been such that a
good profit was realized for feeding.
Also, It is known that Mr.. Wright is
pleased with his trade.
Aside from the above sale Henry
Hunter recently bought a band of
1900 sheep from eRiman Bros. and
Gus La Fontaine purchased 500 year.

CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED.
Edna Campbell Instructed to Return
to the Fruitdale School.


Before County Judge Bean TODAY
Edna Campbell, school girl from the
Fruitdale district, near the state line,
was examined for being unruly. The
charge against the girl was made by
the teacher, Mrs. Flora Jones, and as
result of the affair the district has
become considerably excited, and it is
evident that the teacher herself is not
escaping criticism.
No specific charge was made
against the girl. and after being ques-
toned by the county Judge today. she
was directed to return to the school
and resume her studies. Miss Camp
bell is said to have lived here until
last fall, when she went to live at
Ferndale, where she is working for
the Swash family.
Several days ago complaint was
made by Mrs. Jones to the county
judge that the girl was unruly, and
as a result an order was issued that
she be brought before the court. She
was brought down from Fruitdale by
Deputy Blakely several days ago.
However, 1t would seem that the
charges made against the girl were
not considered of much consequence
by the court, and her release follow
ed. Meanwhile, it is said the senti-
ment of residents of the school dis
trict has turned against the teacher.
and it is possible that she may be re-
moved.

Caldwell, Jan. 15.-The examina-
ton of Harry Orchard, the alleged
assassin of Ex-Governor Steunenberg,
of Idaho, is progressing slowly, but
the evidence against Orchard is dam
aging in the extreme.
Evidence was introduced showing
that when Orchards room was enter
ed soon after the assassination two
towels were found tied to the door
knob on the inside in such a manner
as to completely cover the keyhoIe.
Powder similar to that found in his
vallse was also found spilled on the
carpet in one or two places and it
was shown that he went to Nampa on
the day of the murder, returning to
Boise on the same train on which
Steunenberg returned home after an
absence of several weeks.
The most damaging evidence yet
introduced against Orchard was that
given by Mrs. ]. L. Martin, neigh
Dor of the Steunepberg family, who
testified that many times fdrrihg the
months of october and November
she saw Orchard going toward the
Steunenberg home, and once or twice
saw him closely surveying the house
of the ex-governor through d tele-
scope or field glass.
Evidence was also introduced late
Saturday evening tending to show
that the explosive used in the mur-
der was something vastly more pow
erful than dynamite and the tendency
is showed that Orchard, If really
guilty of the crime, is an expert in
explosives and used a subtle form
that was extremely powerful. Par
ticles of sheet copper have been
found driven by the force of the ex-
plosion into the bark and wood of
trees several yards distant from the
scene of the crime, this tending to
show that the explosive used was of
power and violence.
Newspaper reporters and the public
were excluded from the court room
under a constitutional right, but
all the details of the ex-
animation have been made public
through some source.
