cific railway is completely tied up to-
day by one Of the worst rockslides in
the historyHof the road, just west OF
Fish Gre ek, and win probably remain
SO until tonight or tomorrow morning.
The slide, which is OF great blocks of
granite, occurred yesterday afternoon
and was Of such dimensions that it
covered ever 100 feet of the track with
between LIS and 90 feet Of loose rocks.
Freightotrain 421 was caught ON the
west side Of it, as was the returning
passenger from Wallace.
Last nj ght about 200 workmen of the
extra gangs in this city went out to the
scene of the disaster, and today the
Northern Pacific officials are shipping
every obtRinable man to the place. The
slide is SO largely of rock that steam
shovels hre useless in clearing the
track, and dynamite has to be used
to a great extent. The Occur d'Alene
passenger left this morning as usual
and will transfer its passengers for
the west at the point where the track
Is covered.

rants have been served on Thomas

men has created sensation in this
county, where both are widely known.
Mr.. Merrifeld is a prominent and

The arrests are the result Of devel-

horses from Hedican and his gang.
Hedican is said to have made confes-
sion, but this is denied. He got IL
