Him Here.

NJ. r. Cox, alias M. r. Cooke, travel
ing salesman for a Spokane glove
house, was arrested this morning by
Deputy Sheriff A. A. Masters on a
charge of abandonment, 1T being al
legged that he left his wife and minor
child without proper support in the
state of Iowa.
The complaining witness in the case
was R. ]. Organ, an attorney from
Iowa, who accompanied Mrs. Cox and
child to Lewiston. Mr.. Cox has been
in the prairie country for the past
week in the interest of his house and
was returning to Lewiston this morn
ing when met at Arrow Junction by
Mrs Cox and child, Attorney Organ
and Deputy Masters.
Deputy Masters did not make him
self known upon entering the car pre-
ferring to allow Cox to ride int
town and make the arrest here, wher,
less attention would be called. He ac
cordingly took a seat in the rear o
/ the car occupied by Cox, but was com

now awaiting developments in tn
case.
| From what can be learned of th
case, Cox is estimated to be wort
from $4,000 to $4,000, and came
Spokane about year ago. 1t appear
! that he has remitted funds to his wifi
but the amount has been unsatisfac

LEASED LAND

Indians Will Be Obliged to
Lower Rentals or

Special to Evening Teller.

SpecldI TO Evening 1elIer.
LAPWAI, Idaho, Sept. 25.-Unless
the Indian owners of farm lands on the
former Nez Perce Indian reservation
see fit to make a reduction in rentals
it is quite probable that large tracts of
the best Indian land in the county will
lie idle next year.
Farmers who have been heavy
leases of the Indians land claim the
rentals have been advanced each year
until little profit remains for the farm
er and a general bolt among the farm
ers in all sections of the reservation
seems imminent. number of prom
inent farmers who have visited the
agency during the past few weeks for
the purpose of renewing leases have
returned home after the Indian owners
have endeavored to advance the price
or make terms by which the farmer
could profitably cultivate the soil.
Another feature that has annoyed
the farmers is the claim of the Indians
to the straw and pasture of the fields
after the harvest has been completed
In many instances the Indians have
turned in large herds of cattle as sooT
as the heading has been completed ant
before the threshing has been done
which has resulted in heavy damages
to the farmers.
The agency will resume the leasini
of land on october 81 and while it il

tendency will be to reduce the price
The rentals for the past year will b
