Hancock Enter. Upon the Scene.

Finally this remarkable conclaye of
Generals decided to send brigade out
from the right TO feel for the enemy's
left. why this had net occurred to
them hours before is n mystery. For
tunately they selected for this duty a
young officer named W. s. Hancock,
who was to make a splendid part of the
history of the Army of the Potomac.
Hancock was sent for about IL O'clock
and ordered to take with him four or
five regiments and a battery of artil-
lery. From his own and Davidson's
Brigades Hancock took the 5th Wis,
49th Pa, 9th and 7th Me. and SD N
Y. and Cowan's New York Battery. Max
ing a detour of one and q half miles to
the right, he came to me creek, and
opposite a work which the enemy had
strangely neglected to occupy. He
formed his men for assault. and sent
the 9TH Wis. and 7th Me. directly across
the dam, led by Lieut. Geo. A. Custer
on horseback and commanded by Maj
Larrabee. They found the fort unoc-
cupied, and saw across the open field

recollection of an incident that took

Fail of 1864, shortly after the arrival
of the Nineteenth Corps from the Gulf.
There were three cavalrymen in the af-

As has been said before, Gen. Joseph
r. Johnston had from the first no idea
of holding Yorktown or any part OF
the lower Peninsula, where he would be
exposed to a flank attack from the
troops coming up the rivers under a
convoy of the gunboats. In the council
of war held at Richmond, TO which
Jefferson Davis summoned him, Robert

Gustavus W. Smith and Secretary OF

Feeling E1gendered.

There was much bitterness among
the higher officers growing out of the
events of the day. He.ntZelman and
Keyes made reflections against Sumner
in their reports, which Sumner hotly
resented. Hooker, who was wrought
up to the highest pitch of indignation
by the failure to support him, said in
his report:
History will not be believed when it
is told that the noble officers and men
of my division were permitted to carry
on this unequal struggle from morning

End of the Fight.

Darkness, settled down to stop the
fighting, with the enemy everywhere
pushed back from the front they had
tried to occupy. AS Johnston had only
intended TO. make a rear guard action
to secure his retreat, he began with
drawing his troops as soon as night
concealed the movement. When the
morning came il was found that he had
left nothing behind but his badly
wounded, who filed all the houses.
One after another Gov. Sprague and
the three French Princes had galloped
back to Yorktown to tell Mcclellan of
the fatal inaction while Sumner, Keyes.
Casey, Heintzelman and Badly" Smith
were Consulting" and beg him to hur-
ry 10 the front. He arrived about 5
o'clock, and did the right thing in send

There is a discrepancy between Hook

time of the latter's arrival on the field
Hooker says Kearny came up between
and o'clock, while Kearny and his
Colonels place the time between 2

Ball Game Sunday.

There will be ball game Sunday be-
tween the Colfax Gold Drops and the Al
bion Stickers. 1t promises to be red
hot game. The Stickers are said to be
stayers, putting to shame the conven-
tional court plaster when it gets stuck
in fact, never knowing when they are
beaten. The Gold Droppers probably
get their name from the gold dropped by
them at divers and sundry times in the

Gold Drops played at Albion last Sun

SIMPLE MINDED OLD MAN.
Wanders From Home and Lands in
Sheriff's Office Here.

Tuesday forenoon the sheriff's office
was notified from Garfield that an in
sane man was there, and asking that be
be taken in charge. Deputy Sheriff
Daley was sent to Garfield, where he
found an old man, giving his name as
Jacob Cash and his age az %, who
seemed to be simple minded more than
anything else. He was brought to Col
fax. The old man had no effects, and
no one at Garfield knew anything about
him or where he came from He told
MIR. DALEY that he formerly lived at Bel
mont and had a son, he could not re-
member where. He does not look to be
the great age he says he is. 1t is prob
ably degeneration Of the brain following
old age.
LATER,-SinCe the above was written it
is learned that the old gentleman owns
farm near Belmont and is well-to-dO.
He is father-in-law to Dan Burns, a we'll
known policeman OF Spokane, who
asked the sheriff's office here to send the
old gentleman to him. MIR. Cash was
put aboard the train yesterday after
noon bound north. This is not the first
time be has wandered from home.

RAILROAD AUTOMOBILE,
First One Seen in Colfax Wednes-
day--BeIones to r. r. Official.

COlfax Wednesday saw its first rail
road automobile. 1t came down the
new track OF the Spokane & Inland, and
struck terror to the hearts of the on
lockers, who at first failed to under
stand what the new-fangled arrange
ment was. However, the natives soon
became educated and barring a bad
scare no damage was done. Tales OF
the "Flying Dutchman" and the "Phan-
tom Ship" came at once to mind, sug-
costing that perhaps Davy Crockett e
ghost had come to earth and was in
speeding the work on the road. 1t
turned out to be just common, every
day auto, only on car wheels made for
the track, instead of rubber tires worn
by it's more aristocratic brother. The
steering geer is absent, but it is provided
with a brake. 1t has two seats and
was brought in by an official of the road.

GATHERING STATISTICS
For Department of Commerce
and Labor.
Marriages, Divorces, and Marriage
Licenses Issued and Recorded
From 1886 to 1906.

g. B. Myers OF Seattle arrived in Col
fax Monday and is gathering statistics
for the department of commerce and
labor at Washington, d. c. His par
ticular field of operation relates to mar
riages, divorces, marriage licenses issued
and recorded, covering the period from
1886 to 1906-20 years. He has desk
assigned him in the clerks office, and
expects to finish his work by Saturday
evening. In 100 cases examined from
1898 to 1902-a period of four years
it was discovered that 10 were divorce
suits, making one case out of every 10
plea for marital separation. From 1886
to 1902 there were 400 divorce suits out
of $500 civil suits commenced. 1t will
probably surprise the good people OF
Whitman county to know that the d.
vOrce mill has been grinding so rapidly
Mr.. Myers has certain assigned terri
tory in Eastern Washington, which is
engaging his attention. These facts
have been or are being taken OF every
county in the United States, and as they
are obtained from the official records of
each county must be accurate. Mr.
Myers is young gentleman OF pleasing
address, and expressed his delight at the
greatness and beauty of Whitman

LOCAL BREviTIES.

The harvest approaches and the yield
promises to be good. Those best in
formed say it will average 30 bushels TO
the acre throughout the Palouse.
A rear end collision in the O. R. & n.
yards Monday caused two cabOOses to
look as though they had passed through
the San Francisco earthquake. Nothing
more serious happened.
Judge Chadwick has issued an order
declaring a vacation in the sessions OF
the superior court of Whitman county
till September 1. This will give the legal
fraternity chance to take the annual
outing.

Colfax Wins the Pennant.

Baseball, as dished up by the Trolley
league, is at an end for the season, all
OF the teams having disbanded, and Col
fax wins the pennant by decisive lead,
having won II and lost games. Pa
louise and ROsalia each won 10 and lost
II, and Moscow won 8 and lost IL.
The several teams, Colfax in particular,
are to be congratulated on the quality
of the ball put up. The tournament an
nounced to be held at Spokane between
the four teams did not materialize, Pa
louise and Moscow disbanding before the
date. Cofax and Rosalia played two
games at Spokane last Saturday and
Sunday, each winning one.

10! THE POOR INDIAN
Too Much Booze Lands Whole Fam
lily in Jail.

TOkOa has bad Indian-in fact, sew
eral of them. One buck, who lives near
the DeSmet mission on the Occur d. Alene
reservation, took the law into his own
hands last Tuesday by starting in to
batter down the town Jail with an ak.
1t seems that the members of his family
got gloriously drunk on white mans
whisky and were confined in the bastile
pending payment of a fine of $35 assess
ed against them. Lo! the Poor Indian
didn't propose to stand for this. He
secured an ak and started in, doing a
good job in wrecking before being dis
covered. Deputy Sheriff Daley went to
Tekoa Wednesday, but the marshal OF
that burg didn't want the noble red man
brought to the county seat until further
charges could be filed against him. The
authorities there say he is bad egg,
and hope to see him sent to the pen.

but gives forth at this time the correct

ages of five and q years, a gain of SO
over last year. This is encouraging,
showing that the growth, while not phe-
nomenaI, is healthy and on the increase.

ANENT THE GRAND JURY
Judge Chadwick Says 1t Will
Be Called After Harvest.
To investigate All Matters Usually
Looked Into BY Grand jury
Time Is Precious Now.

Judge Chadwick was seen Tuesday by
a representative of The Gazette IN regard
to the calling Of the grand jury, and re-
ceived the following authoritative state
ment:
Under the law grand or petit jury
can only be called on the second Satur-
day in each mouth for service in the sue
ceeding month. So if grand jury were
drawn on July 18th it could not come IN
before August LIST. Our iuries are made
I'D almost entirely Of farmers, and L feel
that it would be an injustice to them to
be required to sit on a grand jury Of IN
defnate duration in the midst OF har-
vest. The labor conditions are such
that probably every man drawn could
exempt himself under the statute by
making oath that his business would
suffer by reason Of his service.
81 have cOunseled with the county com
missioners and they, too, advise that it
be postponed for a month or so. The
matters to be referred to the grand jury
can be investigated as well after harvest
as before, and the people will be better
satisfied if they understand that the work
of the grand jury has not been sighted
for the want of time"
He was asked about the published
statement that the grand jury would be
called to sit July 10, using this language:
'fSuch q statement was entirely IN
authorized, and was a mistake on the
part OF the reporter, who has never con
suited me with reference to the time. AS
have before said it could not legally sit
before August LIST.
"a grand jury will be called In good
time, when any one having complaint to
make upon any pertinent matter will
have an opportunity to be heard. 1t
will not be called solely for the purpose
of investigating the prosecuting attor-
ney, but to investigate all matters usual
ly looked into by grand jury. In jus
tice to Mr.. Kipp | will say that he is il
favor of grand jury at the earliest pos
sble date"
This will meet with the approval o.
the people, and in due time-after the
rush of the harvest season the judg,
may be expected to make his promise
good and call the grand jury together
In the meantime it is to be hoped that
the Doubling ThOmases and the skeptics
will stop wagging their tongues and
wait for results.

hospital at Spokane Wednesday to

WHERE A kAHUNA DID
NOT CURE THE PATIENT

A little three star brandy in moderate
doses is the sure cure for consumption
recommended by Joel Kahinu, who was
on trial yesterday for practising medi-
cine without a license. This prescrip-
ton was given with the promise of
immediate Improvement in the patient
and complete cure in three days. Lat
er, after the three days had gone past
admitted that possibly after all he
should have prescribed gin.
Such was the testimony of Mapopo
Keawepoo, whose little boy had been
treated by Kahinu and who failed TO
outlive the treatment. With each dose
of the brandy, she said, Kahinu would
offer up prayer, to whom the witness
did not say. She admitted, however
that she had not paid anything for the
treatment nor had promised to pay
anything, and Judge Whitney dis
missed the case
For a part of the time yesterday the
bench was occupied by Judge Derby,
he relieving the senior judge in the
trial of Chang Chau, formerly the Chi
nese interpreter for the court, who was
under preliminary trial for perjury.
The charge arose out of rough house
at meeting of a Chinese society on
September 20. Chau had given testi-
mony in the police court concerning
the offense, in which testimony the
alleged perjury occurred.
There were a host of witnesses ex-
amined yesterday, from the evidence
OF which Judge Derby found enough to
commit the defendant for trial at the
Circuit Court, provided an Indictment
against him is found by the grand
jury. His bonds were fixed at $3.50.
