with a hammer, which he found tied
to Levenmeyer's asddle. The latter
fell stunned and Leherg beat him
over the head until he became tired.

and went hack tn his camp at the
river side. He returned soon after
and with a pocket knife cut Leven-

Thanks to some kind friends along
the st. Joe river, the people Of the
city are now enjoying a mild sort Of
beef tea not altogether conductive to
good health. Many ranchers along
the St Joe river are losing cattle from
the Tavages Of some disease and it Is
known that at least 90 head have died
during the past few weeks. These
cattle are skinned and then hauled to
the rivers edge where many are roll
ed into the water to Goat down the
river into Lake Occur d'Alene and on
down the Spokane river.
This morning Capt Mcdonald, OF
the steamer Flyer, Of the White Star
NAVIGATION company, stated that
yesterday while making the trip up
the river.he noticed three cattle which
had evidently died from some dis
ease, and he d been skinned, lying on
the bank Of the river and mentioned
the fact To the wheelman that they
would not be there when they return
ed down the river. On the down trip
no cate were to be seen along the
hanks and later when. the boat enter

this season is Gold enough to preserve

lome for such legislation in this

Iery carefully, he said, giving due
Eeight to all the reasons for and
lgainst such a step, and it was his
Donvictoin that the interests of the
tate demanded such legislation at
he coming session. Therefore, he
had determined to make a Iecommen-
lation of that character IN his mes
age to the legislature.
In his letter to Commissioners
lane, which is dated December 20,
he governor stated temporary relief
rom the fuel famine had been secur-
d. He added: 81 have a promise
rom the railroad company that it
will make strenuous efforts to relieve

commend enactment of the railway
