Farm Life.

The cry of 'sback to the farm" which
is heard on all sides these days,
sounds good enough to us, and is
bound to have salutary effect. Farm
life is the most independent existence
and the wholesome sentiments which
sprung from the freedom of life out
Of doors are the strongest safeguards

weeks, occasioned by the shipment
of holiday goods to local merchants,
but though much of this business has
been done, still the traffic is showing
no decline, but on the contrary an
increase Wholesale merchants are
now doing an immense business with
towns in this section.

Deacon Drury again drew the leath-
er wallet from his pocket and pro-
duced another roll of bills, which, with
those he carried in his vest, amounted
to forty-three dollars This he hand

Returning him the three dollars,
the latter said: "You keep this for
change, deacon, so you won't have to
break bill on the cars, and I'll call
this forty-fve Julie, give the deacon

Lowering "Don't want to hurt your
eyes, deacon" He replaced the pistol
in his pocket and moved toward the
door.
Although he had apparently not no
ticed it, the deacon was keenly alive
to the fact that he had been closely
watched by one or more of the trio
from the moment Of his entrance. He
also noticed that they managed to
keep him between them during the |
entire transaction.
He was now standing by the table
in the middle Of the living room, with
the door at his right and the bedroom
and kitchen at his left The woman
stood by the door to unbar it, and

unlocked the door, and her hand was

Freight Business Growing Rapidly.

Freight Business Growing Rapidly.
AS an indication of the growing
prosperity of this state, we quote
the following from the Pensacola
Journal:
The freight business over the local
divisions of the Louisville & Nash
vile which reach Pensacola, is ex-
ceptiona1ly heavy just at present, and
the trainmen are being worked hard
to handle the increased traffic.
The outbound freight has increased
this year much more heavily than the
incoming, although the latter is beino
handled in much larger quantities
than during December of last year.
The addition of two extra freight
trains over the P & A., one going on
the Florida branch at Crestview and
the other through to River Junction
has enabled the company to handle
the business satisfactorily and for the
business north many trains. in ad-
dition to the REGULAR ones, are run,

sURRIDGE IN TOWN.
Popular Idaho County Repre-
sentative In City SATURDAY..

sentative In City Saturday.
Hon. James Surridge, Of Harps-
ter, was in Grangeville the last OF
the week, shaking hands with his
many admirers. Mr.. Surridge left
Boise Tuesday Of last week, seeing
that it was useless for him to stay
longer and after making a final
earnest plea for an appropriation
for the Elk City Dixie road. He, as
we'll as the other Idaho county re-
representatives. have had q mighty
strenuous time down at Boise in
their attempt to get legislation
passed that would be Of particular
benefit to this county. They have
prevented many measures from
passing which would have worked
great hardships upon the county
should they have become laws.
Mr.. Surridge, who is q most pleas
ant man to meet, has been untir.
ing in his efforts to secure some ap.
preparation for the improvement of
the roads and trails of this county
and whether or not the appropria-
tion has been allowed. there should
be no hesitancy in giving credit to
Surridge and the representatives Of
the county who got the bill
through the lower house, and then
used every honorable means in
their power to have the senate pass
the same.

IS TO KILL
DominiCk Robbins Brutally
Assaults Frank Roberts,
ESCAPES FROM THE ASYLUM
Arrived at Old Home and Be-
gan Bloody Work.

Dominick Robbins, an inmate oi
the asylum at Orofno, who was
committed from this county last
fall and escaped from that institu-
tion last Saturday, made a desper-
ate attempt to take the life of his
former partner, Frank Roberts,
over in the Dewey mining district
late yesterday afternoon.
Robbins, who has been commit
ted to the asylum three or four
times the past few years, and has
either escaped or been discharged,
was taken to Orofino last fall and
again confined. Wednesday after
noon Sheriff Brown received tele-
gram from the superintendent of
that institution informing him OF
the escape of the demented man,
last Saturday, and aeking him to
be on the lookout and later in the
evening the news was received
here of the attempted murder over
in the Dewey district.
1t seems Robbins arrived at his
old home Tuesday and spent the
night in the cabin with his intend
ed victim and Wednesday Roberts
went to Harpster after supplies.
Arriving in the afternoon with the
provisions he was being assisted by
Robbins, who without any warning
or provacation whatever, seized an
ak and delt Roberts blow back OF
the left ear almost severing the
jugular vein. Then jumping upon
his victim he plunged knife into
him under the left arm and came
dangerously close to reaching his
heart. Roberts then made his
escape in some manner and left
the crazy man in possession of the
premises.
Immediately upon the receipt OF
the news of the assault, Deputy
Sheriff VanDeventer left for the
scene of the crime. He and Chas.
Rice arrived this morning with
Robbins who has been placed in
the county Jail until the arrival OF
an attendant from the asylum to
where he will be returned. A
careful search of his person this
morning brought to light a short
bladed knife, such as would be
used in the kitchen for pairing
vegetables, butcher knife made
from an old file and number ol
trinkets. The short bladed knife,
which is 3 wicked looking thing
and was probably secured at the
asylum, was the one used in stab.
bing his old friend. Robbins is q big
buriy Italian and that he didn't
kill his victim is miracle. The
wounded man is in a mighty pre-
carious condition and his recovery
is somewhat doubtful.

IT IS A SURE Co.
Construction on Electric Line
to Commence at Once.
BONDS ARE DISPOSED OF
$5.25O,OOO Issue and the
Money Ready.

There is good news for Grange
vile this week in the dispatch to
the effect that the proposed electric
line is q sure 60 and that work
will begin in less than thirty days.
The survey has been completed
aud the bonds have been disposed
OF to an English syndicate through
their eastern representatives, so it
is understood. The survey takes
the line through a new country
that will not be tapped by the
steam road now building, and
section that is rich in agricultural
and timber resources. A great
deal of credit is due certain citi.
zens of Grangeville who have do.
mated both time and money to the
project. The electric line will open
up great deal of country tribu-
tary to this city as well as giving
us good connections with the out
side. g. w. Thompson, president
OF the company, and several other
parties from Lewiston who are in.
terested in the project are expected
here some time this week to arrange
certain matters connected with it's
building at this end of the line.
The following interview had with
Mr.. Thompson, shows beyond the
shadow OF a doubt the certainty OF
the building OF the line:
"Work will soon start. Every
thing is in first-class shape. The
construction of the electric line and
the installation of the power plant
will be carried on coincideD tally.
That briefly stated is the situa-
tion," said CIV. Thompson, presi-
dent of the Lewiston & Southeast
ern electric line company, last
evening. Mr.. Thompson arrived |
yesterday morning from the east |
and he made the above statement |
in response to an inquiry by a Trib-
une reporter as to the status of the |
financing of the line and the proba-
BILE date OF Inauguration of construc-
tion operations.
"The work will be done by the |
Schofeld company of Philadelphia |
and the bonds issued for the elec-
trio line and power plant show the
cost will be about $3.50, 900. The |
power and electric line projects |
have been handled together and 80 |
will be in a measure jointly con-
The Schofield people are |
large contractors. l do not know
their plan of handling the work |
but l presume they will use their
extensive equipment for the i'm
portant sections while small con-
tracts may be sublet."
Mr.. Thompson stated that Mr..
w. P. Hurlbut and Secretary F. J.
Randolph, of the electric line COM
pany would reach here in about
two weeks from the east, and that
they would probably be accompan.
led by some representatives of the
Schofeld company.
"Work will probably be in full
swing by early summer?" suggested
the reporter.
"Oh, yes, at much earlier peri.
cd than that" replied Mr.. Thomp-
son. 1--WE are now ready for the
work. Only small details at this
end are now to receive attention
before inaugurating the construc-
tion operations. The financial fea-
ture has been closed. The con-
struction work will commence at
the Lewiston end and this will in
clnde the construction of the Lew
iston street car system
