ACROSS THE SAHARA DESERT.
British Explorer Progressing Well in
PerilOus Trip.

According to reports received here
from Nafada, in the hnterland of
Senegal, Hans Vischer, British assist
ant resident at Kamo, Nigeria, has
reached Maifoni after an adventurous
Journey across the Sahara from Tris
poll says a dispatch from Paris. His
route was through Murzuk, Turkish
garrison town. 500 miles south of
Tripoli, and then south across the des-
ert to the oasis of Rilma.
Bilma lies 1000 miles south of Tri-
poll. Mr.. Vischer, who is of Swiss
extraction, originally intended to start
his return journey from England to
his post ct Kano. Numerous delays
caused him to make his start much
later than anticipated. A number Of
native pilgrims returning to their
homes from Mecca heard of Mr..
Vischer's projected journey and OBJ
tanned permission to accompany him.
He Travelled as an official representa-
tive of the British government and
there is no doubt that his journey will
have an important effect in increasing
the British prestige among the Ma
hornmedans of western Africa.
No European of the present gen.
Grafton has previously accomplished
the journey through the heart Of the
great Sahara. The route, apart from
the most trying climatic conditions, is
very dangerous, lying, as 1t does, amid
the territories of uncontrolled and

| savage tribes.

At the court house today the grand
jury has been grinding away on its
second days work, and from all in
dications the seven men are keeping
very busy. They occupy the jury
room opposite the circuit court room,
and during their sessions District At
torney Phelps is present most of the
time.
That the Young case from Weston
was under investigation yesterday is
known, but just what action. if any,
was taken has not been divulged.
ThiG forenoon Riley, or Raleigh,
who is accused of having robbed
young Short in the Idle Hour saloon,
was before the jury for short time.
Another case to be investigated by
the grand jury is that of A. D. Rhoni-
mus, charged with the murder of Tom
Myers. Thus far the case has not
been taken up, or at least Rhonimus
himself has not been summoned.
Among these familiar with the case
it is believed an indictment will not
be returned. 1t is understood DR.. W.
G. Cole has declared that the shot
found in Myers heart would have
prevented him from shooting twice
after receiving his wound. In that
case the circumstances would bear
out Rhonimus' story that Myers fired
first.
BY the shooting scrape last night
another task was provided for the
grand jury. as the district attorney
has decided to pass the case against
Graham to the Jury.
This morning the grand jury took
its first official action by returning a
| true bill against Virgil Wade, who is
charged with assault and battery COM
| mitted uron an old man named Ly-
man, near Pilot Rock. The offense
was committed several weeks ago and
at the time Wade was bound over to
the grand jury heing given his liberty
on hail.
In the court room thus far the
cases disposed of have been of minor
Importance. In the case of Robin
s"n VS.. Wood the ?ury returned YER
dict for tie defendant about o'clock
, iast evening.
| lnls morning the case or James Il.
Pond and Amos Pond against j. D..
Morrow was scheduled for lrial. AT
the app ointed time the plaintiff failed
to appear In person, though they were
represented by their attorney. John
McCourt. Owing to the absence of the
pl1intiffs the case was postponed un-
til this afternoon, following the selec-
tion of a jury. The defendants at
torneY is Judge S. \. Lowell.

Department of the Interior Appropri-
ates $4,000 for the Purpose of Equip

California Fields.

Five thousand dollars have been

CHOICE LAMBS $3.50.
Chicago Markets Arc Active and
Sheep Prices High.

Sheep Prices High.
The Chicago Livestock World says:
Live mutton trade panned out bet
ter than early expectation indicated.
Early sales were little later promis-
ing a 1Oc lower deal later in the day,
but an estimate of $4,000 looked ex-
cessive and after considerable SPAR
ring, buyers went to work in earnest,
fairly active and steady market re-
sulting.
Eastern shippers were in and ex-
porters did a little work. The sheep
end of the run was not excessive. In
fact, the proportion of lambs was
larger than last week. Quality was
fair, but buyers asserted that shippers
had become proficient in the art of
getting a fill and made allowances
for it. Feeders were badly wanted,
but most country orders pegged at
$6.75, a price at which the stuff could
not be had.
A top load of lambs made S7.S5,
but they were choice natives. The
three-quarter mark was reached out
side OF this, but when there was the
least semblance of a fill, buyers quit
at $7.65, which was about the limit on
westerns, and lot of filled stuff had
to go at $7.40@7.50. Some western
lambs at $3.50 were a little lower.
Eastern markets were little lower
but, considering weather conditions
left little room for complaint. Local
buyers went about their tasks as
though the houses they represented
were doing hand-to-mouth trade
and needed fresh supply.

SPEND IDAHO MONEY IN IDAHO
Legislature Orders Printed Supplies to
Re Bought at Home.

\ correspondent at Roise says of
the action of the Idaho legislature
relative to the purchase of supplies:
A discussion in the house relative to
the lax manner in which the clerk
compiled the journal, supposed to
show the transactions of Tuesday,
brought out the fact that the station
cry which the senator's, representa-
tives and legislative attaches will use
this session, was purchased and
printed in Portland, Ore.
The material was shipped by freight
more than week ago, but has not
yet reached the state house. Chief
Clerk Moore said he had been given
to understand that the secretary of
state placed the order for the station
cry and printing with a Portland
house.
The house passed a written resolu-
ton by Rossi to the effect that here
after all persons charged with buying
such supplies, procure them in Idaho

young men over one young woman,
a very sensational shooting scrape
occurred here last evening, when
Lewis Graham fired five shots from
pistol at George Williamson. But one
bullet took effect, piercing William
sons wrist, though several others
ranged distressingly close to his body.
The affair occurred about o'clock
last evening on the sidewalk in front
OF the Oregon feed yard on West
Court street. At that time the two
men met. Williamson being on his
way to the business part of town,
while Graham was on his way to the
home OF Miss Fanny Carter on West
Webb street.
According to the story OF William
son. when he met Graham he re-
marked In a taunting way: Have you
got your gum" "Yes; you are look
ing for something" answered the
other. At that Graham drew his pis-
tol and commenced firing. Five shots
were fired in quick succession and at
the last one Williamson tried TO get
away. He was not followed by Gra-
ham and went Immediately TO the
office OF DR.. ]. A. Best. Not finding
the doctor in he waited in the office
for some time and showed but little
concern over his wound He was
finally advised to secure another doc
tor and not await Dr. Best's return
His wound was then dressed by DR.
T. NJ. Henderson.
While waiting for the physician
Williamson declared that at first he
thought Graham was shooting at him
with blank cartridges for the pur'
pose of soaring him. He says Graham
kept telling him to run. According
to the wounded man and his friends
Graham was enraged at Williamson
through jealousy,
Graham Says Self Defense.
on the other hand young Graham
declares that he acted in self defense
and shot Williamson in order TO avoic
a fist fight with a man much large
than he. He declares that when thu
two met on Webb street Williamson
started toward him and that he (Gra
ham) believed he was In for fight
He says that twice before Williamson
had taunted him TO fight but that h
had refused largely because of th'
other mans size. on last Frida!
night he says he met Williamson anC
four friends on Webb street, blocl
east of the Oregon feed yard. At tina
time he says Williamson wanted hin
TO fight, but that under the circum
stances he (Graham) did not think /
wise to comply.
According to Graham his enem,
was the unsuccessful aspirant for tn
favor of Miss Carter and that VIII
hanson was accordingly angry at him
He says that last evening Williamson
had visited the girls home just be
fore the fight and had found to hi
chagrin that Graham had an engage
ment to call that evening. Will

he met Graham and the trouble fol
lowed.
