lodged in Jail upon the grave charge
OF having assaulted the nine-year-old
daughter Of well-known and re-

had lived in New York, and his man
ner Of speech is that Of the "cullod"
brother who had resided north Of the

May Change Bridge Site.

A petition signed by large num-
Der of Selah people will be preseat-
ed to the county commissioners
when they meet next Monday, to
have the new Selah bridge built at
the Fourth street crossing. This, it
is claimed, would shorten the dis
lance to the city and avoid crossing
three bridges when had to be
done with the bridge in it's former
location. Those who oppose the
construction of bridge on this
site claim that it would necessitate
crossing of the Northern Pacific
tracks to get into the warehouse
district with produce. The commits
sioners and county surveyor will
go over both propositions thorough
ly before acting in the matter and
wherever they decide to place the
bridge will be the most convenient
for the greater number of people.
