SO well. His damages to bottoms
and loss in feed amounts to $3.50.
700.
Joseph Turner was struck pretty
hard. His bottoms, extending
mile and II quarter along Salt
Creek, were almost completely
ruined. Adding feed aud fence
lis loss is upwards of 5000.
Henry Mills loses in household
goods and feed about 100000 and
is very thankful that it was no
worse.
Rufus Turner was hit pretty
good jolt. His fruit trees and out
buildings were washed away, feed
carried off, household goods and
bottoms destroyed, and places his
damages at $4,000.
S. d. Ovit loses in household
goods and washed and sanded
bottoms, edibles etc something
like $500 90.
Pearly Scott loses II acres of
wheat, fences, fodder and had his
I bottoms washed and sanded. His
damages will reach 800.
j. V. Snider is probably the
most unfortunate man along the
creek. Just day before the
Hood he sustained paralytic
stroke and is entirely unconscious
of his loss. The loss is most
heavily on his wife and children.
With the fences washed away, Is
acres of bottom land washed and
no farm help, the situation is
most distressing. TO add to this
situation he lost his entire feed
supply. Damages 5000.
Moses Scott loses in feed
sanded and washed bottoms,
about $3.50 90, and is very thank
full it is no worse.
The home Of Dr.. j. w. Muir
ply was completely surrounded
by about ten feet of water The
family had a very narrow escape.
The Dr's office was considerably
twisted from its Foundation, sur
gical instruments damaged, medi-
cines destroyed, and office furni-
ture wrecked. An organ, carpets,
household goods and edibles were
destroyed, and his bottoms were
washed, sanded and graveled.
His damages conservatively esti-
mated, will reach $1,000. The
genial doctor, though somewhat
distressed, is not the least bit dis
couraged, and takes his loses
philosophicaly. He will build
on the highest point.
The damages, thus far along
Salt Creek, to the residents alone,
amounts to something like $4,000
dollars. You can safely estimate
the conntry's damages in roads
and bridges at the same amount,
$4,000. The private telephone
wires suffer to the extent of pos
sibly $4,000 or more, making
total of near 500, 900.
The w. & w. Lumber Co.,
Wilklson and Arm
strong Bros. have a large force
employed in gathering up their
lumber and ties. This firm will
sustain possibly $4,000 in dam
age. This loss in no wise dis
them as they are one of
the strongest lumber companies, fl
nancially in southern Ohio.

NOTABLE TRIAL
OF MURDER CASE
Defense Will Be "UnWritten
Law" But Prosecution
Denies Victims Guilt

RICHMOND, Va, May 27.-The case
ed with the murder of Theodore Estes,
whom Judge Loving accused of hav-
ing drugged and wronged his young
daughter Elizabeth, while out driving,
will be called before the term of the
circuit court to convene in Nelson
county today. Owing to the fact that
the entire county has been deeply
stirred by the sensational case it is
likely that a change of venue will be
asked for, and if granted the trial will
probably be transferred to Petersburg
or to this city. If current stories
prove one of the biggest sensat ons
ever recorded in the judicial annals Of
Virginia
All of Nelson county appears to
have arrayed itse'f on one side or the
other of the famous case. Many open
ly uphold Judge Loving in carrying
out the unwritten law, while others are
inclined to think he acted too hastily
and blame him for not giving the vic
| tim chance to explain, If any eXpla-
nation were possible.
1t is reported that the trial will
bring to light many startling things
heretofore unknown and bearing di-
rectly upon the tragedy, among others
that it will be shown that Estes, on at
least two previous occasions, had made
s mi ar attempts to drug girls with
| liquor. on one of these occasions it is
said. the intended victim threatened to
| inform her father if Estes did not de-
sist in his persecution. which threat
had the desired effect. This young
! lady. it is stated, WI he placed on the
witness stand by the defense. 1t is
held that the production of evidence
that Estes had on previous occasions
offered girls liquor, coupled with the
fact that Judge Loving waited unit
the day after the alleged occurrence
and that both he and his wife hat
talked with their daughter before
hunting for and killing Estes, viii
have weight in favor of the forme

PASSING OF
old LANDMARKS
Senator ShOup's Homestead
In Salmon City Torn
Down

Another old landmark of the early
days of Salmon is being torn down to
give way for modern improvements,
says the Idaho Recorder. What has
been known as the George l.. Shoup
homestead is being torn down this
week by Charles Brouse and a gang of
men to give way to a modern brick
structure. 1t is a question in the minds
of the old timers whether this building
was bu 1t first or the old shoeshop of
Peter Amonson adjoining the postoffice
building. These two were the first
buildings erected in the town, both be-
ing built in 1867.
The Shoup home is built of hewn
logs, with a dirt roof The 'ogs were
cut on Island park and by him hewn
and made ready to go into the build
ing. Here he brought his bride, and
here were the children all born. The
structure was built as near for comfort
and warmth as the conditions in those
days would admit of In between the
logs was chinked with mortar and
lined inside with adobe brick.
Logs Adobe Chinked.
In later years the building was
weather. boarded and a shingle roof
put on, which made the building pre-
sent rather a modern appearance. The
way buildings are constructed in the
West 40 years IS "a long time for an
ordinarily constructed building 10
stand, but the Indications are that ii
would have been good for another ike
period. Senator Shoup always mani
tanned most hospitable home, and no
doubt the dirt roof has sheltered many
noted characters.
After the siding had been removed a
printed poster was found on the walls
notifying the hungry public that meals
could be had at a restaurant for 81 III
currency or $12 per week in gold dust
The name of the PROPRIETOR and name
of the restaurant had been obliterated
In the interior of the building, after
the wallpaper had been removed, g

Large Sums VIII be Spent in Clear

People who have negotiated the
worst roads in the Clearwater district
will appreciate the following from the
Lewiston Teller:
State Engineer James Stephenson,
jr., was an arrival this morning from
the upper Clearwater country, where
he has inspected the proposed state
road improvement from Clearwater
to Elk City, Dixie and orogrande and
the toll road from Kooskia to Tahoe,
for the purchase of which bill was
passed at the last session of the state
legislature. f...-
The road improvement from Clear
water to Elk City and surrounding
towns will call for an expenditure of
approximately $4,000, one-half of
which has been furnished by state
appropriation. The plans Of the i'm
provement are now being prepared
by Commissioner Fred Erskin, of
Grangeville, and as soon as all of
this work is completed the road will
be inspected by the commission as a
body and proposals for bids for the
work will be invited. tHar
The proposed road is about 10
miles in length and must be PERFORM
ed by contract according to the terms
of the appropriation bill. 1t is the
purpose of the commission to have
the improvement completed at the
earliest possible date as several hun
dred tons of mining machinery are
now in storage to be moved into the
district before the bad weather of fall
sets in. .r I'D
The appropriation providing for the
toll road out of Kooskia provides ST.
900 to be furnished by the state and
a like amount to be supplied by a
public subscription in the country af- |
fected. The appropriation bill also
provides for 16 miles of trail on SAL
mon river above and below Knott's |
ferry. The details of all of these i'm
provements will be completed upon
the occasion of the next visit of Mr..
Stephenson in three weeks
