NORTHWEST NEWS.

% A very importan final decision, ad
verse to Idaho settlers, has just been
rendered by Assistant Secretary
Woodruff of the Interior department
Washington, D. C. This is the long
drawn-out case of the state of Idaho
VS.. Steve Thorp ct al, and affects
over 150 settlers in township A
ranges 2 and 3 east, and who settled
on these lands after July 5, 1901. A
man In touch with this case says that
the loss to each one of these settlers
will reach on an average $1,000, or a
grand total of $4,000, besides the
lands. This is the case in which the
state of Idaho relinQuished valuable
school sections in the Occur d'Alene
Indian reservation in order to use
them as a base with which to attack
settlers. That there is intense feel
Ing throughout this section of Idaho
against the state officials implicated
in this deal is drawing it mildly. This
case was part Of the strenuous contest
in which the Northern Pacific railroad
was third party, and which, as a re
suit Of this decision and others of the
same nature, has gained good part
Of these lands.
+ "Uncle Sam will have some more
land to give away this fall" a govern
ment official who went with the Gar
field party on its trip through the
state of Montana is quoted as saying

project was, and the drawing will
probably take place in October. II is

the purpose of stimulating inter-
est inthe erection of a Y. M. C. A.
building for Durham was attend
ed by quite a number of repre-
sentative men of the city.
Mr.. James H. Southgate was

dressed the citizens present, urg-
ing the establishment of a Y.

ment.

After this service there was
enacted another sad scene on
the floor below, where a colored
minister preached Freeman
Jones' last sermon. There were
songs, and prayers and tears.
Both scenes were such as to make
impossible a picture of the ter
rible moments.
For several days Officer Har-
ward has been bombarded from
all sides with requests from peo-
pie who wanted to go into the
Jail and look at the two men. At
times there were great crowds
in front of the Jail entrance and
it was impossible for the officer
in charge to goany distance with
out being stopped and request
made. Then there have been
made more requests for tickets
to witness the hanging, this
since the publication was made
that the limit had been exhaust
ed and that no more could be
promised.
Since Sunday quite a large
number of people have been al
lowed in the Jail. This did not
disturb either Of the men as they
did not mind seeing the visitors
or talking with them on any sub
ject. In fact, it seemed at times
that it was a relief to them to
look up and see visitors and talk
with those fresh from the out
side world.
Thursday afternoon three
children of Hodges, Miss Ola,
Fred and little Matte, visited the
Jail and spent a short while with
their father. Final farewellswere
said when they left the Jail. 1t
was a fearful moment. For the
first time since his confinement
Hodges came near breaking down
when he told little Matte good-
bye. She is the smallest of the
children and was the one who
said to him on the night that he
visited his wife's home and enact
ed such a fearful tragedy: Papa,
| want you. | will fix a pallet.
Sleep with me on the floor"
Jones had to go through with a
similar experience. He was
visited by his mother. wife, sis
ter and brother. His father did
not visit him. Freeman almost
preached a sermon to his kins-
people, telling them to change
their ways and serve the Lord.
There were songs, prayers and
much that was pathetic.

A young man by the name of
Gilmore Thompson came near
losing his life in an accident on
the. Southern road yesterday
morning. He drove across the
track with a load of lumber just
as the train was approaching.
The train struck the center of
the wagon, and parted in the
middle. The team and the driver
were knocked to the same side.
No serious damage was done
either. but the wagon was a
complete wreck.

like the Lord had forgiven his
sins, that he would be saved and
was willing to die. The cap was
adjusted and the trap fell at
11:33, and the. doctors present
pronounced him dead at 11:52.
The body was turned over to
his people and the burial took
place this afternoon.
