Manager is Sued by Vic

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 26.-Fur-
Their light lie thrown on the methods
Of the Washington Hsme company,
against which suit and application
for receiver have been brought by
Charles Hill, by the statement OF
James NJ. Head, who has sued Il. q.
Martin, manager of the company, for
$4,000 for unpaid salary a. super
intendent OF agents. :" There we're no
agents working FIR the company
while Head was supposed to DO super
intsndent.
Head has further grievances IS he
claims, because two contracts With
early numbers were given him, one
by Q. Il. Harbaugh when he was man
agsr, and the other by Martin, after
he had assumed control. Head adj
mits that he was to pay no cash for
these contracts by the agreement but
complains that be has been unable to
get Martin To mature" them. Head
and Martin we're associates In the
Occur d'Alane Reservation informa

Head claims he was elected from the
Office by Martin with pair of brass

taking with him pair Of knucks that
we're in the drawer of desk and also
the key to the private office, which

in OCTOBER

ready to proceed with the trial of
George A. Pettiboue at Boise on o.
tober |, the date set for the arralgn-
ment of the accused of completely in
the murder of former Governor
Steunenberg.
At the Denver headquarters of the
federation it is officially stated that
both Attorneys RichaI dson and Oar
row are still in the employ of the
miners, and that both of them are
expected to conduct Petitioners de-
Tense.
According to street gossip, based
on declarations of both lawyers, there
is breach between them that can
not be healed, and one or the other
will drop out of the Psttibone case.
Senator Borah of the prosecution, the
federation officers say, has made a
professional appeal to the Nine
owners association to come to Ida
hos financial aid in further pushing
cases against the accused federation
officials. 1t was heard in Colorado
Springs last week that the senator
had visited the mineowners there.
The opinion is freely expressed
that 1t will be impossible to secure a
jury for a second trial of the Steun-
enberg case. 1t is the belief of the
federation leaders that when Harry
Orchard is ultimately brought to
trial for the confessed murder Of
ldaho's governor that a luDacy com
mission will be called, and that be
will be declared insane.

DAMAGE FROM
CLOUDBURST
Flood Sweeps Down COulee and
Destroys Railway

Hatton, Wash, Aug. 25.-Before
a moving wall of water seven feet
high and varying in width from %
to SO feet, the roadhed of the North
-ern Pacific between Hatton and Cor
nell crumbled away yesterday after
the freight engine pulling train ran
over the trackless brink unawares.
III. A. Piegner, riding on the top of
the cars lost his life
The track is destroyed in spots for
a distance of several miles, freight
and passenger trains are stalled on
either side of the washout and the
Northern Pacific main right of way
may be useless for this section until
Tuesday. The water swept down
upon Cornell and caused some prop
erty damage there, moving structures
80 feet from their foundations and
scattering debris for miles. So far
as known no lives were lost at Cor
nell, although there doubtless we're
some narrow escapes.
The havoc was intensified by an
other cloudburst following the first,
although the greatest quantity of wat
er was carried by the initial deluge.
At $50 O'Clock in the afternoon
the first cloudburst discharged its
rivers of water about a mile and a
half south of Hatton. So restless
was the great weight Of water and so
swiftly did it run that 10 earth made
right of way could hold and the road
bed literally melted away. The wat
pr then was four feet deep in the
coulee. 1t was just after the havoc
had been wrought that freight train
that pulled out of Mesa at 2:1O
O'Clock and had gone about a mile
was overtaken by the flood. Engine
1887 was ditched, dropping more
than 20 feet, but the tender remain
ed in such position that the cars
following pressed upon the obstruc-
tion and nine we're telescoped On
the third car back Of the tender sat
Piegner, who had been warned not to
get aboard the train, as it was not
ue to stop at Hatton. His Car was
Oaded with ties and timbers and the
ban was tossed to the ground in an
lmost inextricable mass of heavy

other leg broken and mangled in
ouch manner that the bone protrud-

BOND ELECTION
Peculiar Methods of Election Of
fiCers in Second Ward

The bond election, at which the
proposition OF voting $40, 900 for the
erection OF a city hall Is submitted
To the electors, Is being held today.
There were ABOUT 425 registered
and therefore entitled to vote on the
proposition. Up to noon there was
very light vote cast, notwithstand
ing the day was bright and fair.
There we're few women voting and
there appeared to be a spirit Of in
difference prevailing throughout the
town. No vehicles were in evidence.
The voting was done quietly and
without any disturbances. At noon
it was stated that % had voted In the
second ward, only two voting against
the bonds. Protests we're made In
this ward that there was no secret
ballot offered the voter, one Of the
officers joining In the protest. There
we're 225 registered In the second
ward. In the First ward the regis
tration was 10 and the vote at 2 D.
m. had reached 81. The registration
and vote in the other wards we're
light also.
II Is expected the vote later In
the day will greatly exceed that Of
the morning. From indications 1t
appears there will be q safe majority
for the bonds. It lie claimed that
a certain resident of an addition,
which has recently been brought into
the city limits, will test the validity
of the election on the grounds Of be.
ing denied the right of suffrage be-
cause he was not within the city linn.
its 80 days although he has been
resident Of his present location for a
long time. He was refused registra-
ton on the same grounds. He claims
to favor theI bonds but believes he is
to vote on the proposition.
