Salmon River Ferries Break
Loose.

The Taylor ferry on Salmon
river at the mouth of Rice creek
southwest of this place broke its
cable Tuesday and went down
the stream about a mile before
fetching upon a large rock. Asa
Jones and some. companions were
engaged in taking a bunch of
cattle across the river when the
boat tore loose and had quite an
exciting time getting ashore.
They at once drove the stock in
to the stream and later, when
the boat swung close to the
shore, jumped into the water
and waded ashore. The boat
continued down the stream until
it hung up on a large rock and
was later moved to the shore by
the cable. The river is higher
now than it has been for several
years and is running like a mill
race. The ferry cannot be got
ten back into position for some
time and a new boat may have
to be built. This is the second
boat to go out this spring, the
ferry at Lucille having broken
loose late last week and gone
down the river for seven miles
before landing on an island. AS
the water has not yet reached its
highest stage other ferries may
go out most any day.

BOTHERED BY OLD BANK NOTE.
Merchant Anxious About Value of
Issue OF 1886,

James B. Kerby. Of 2lS Ninth street
northwest. is a very much troubled man.
In a money-changing transaction yester-
day In the lunch room at the above num-
Der be was handed something. and at
present he wants 10 know whether It IS a
lemon or a diamond in the rough.
The article handed was $50 bill OF the
issue Of 1S56. from bank in Norfolk Va,
which has long since been a thing OF by
gone days Yesterday Mr. Kerby was
standing in the lunch room. when a
stranger entered the place. and after
making some purchases, which he paid
for In small coin, asked If any one could
change a 500 bill Hav q the necessary
change at hand, Mr.. Kerby consented to
do so, and on receiving the bill set it
aside without noticing its antiquity
A short time afterwaFd his attention
was called to its issue, and then his mind
instantly became troubled. The bill might
prove 70 be worthless, and then again, its
age might make II very valuable, and.
perhaps, worth several times its face
value. Mr.. Kerby promptly hurried 10
police headquarters to tell Of his troubles.
and Detective McNamee was assigned TO
the work of Strengthening out the matter.
To-day the bin will be taken to the Treas
ury Department for examination by ex-
perts and the question as 10 its value will
be Immediately decided
