BRIDGE FALLS NEAR DAYTON.
Couple Narrowly Escapes Death While
Crossing Touchet.

DAYTON, Wash, Feb. Awhile
driving across the bridge over Smiths
Hollow, about II miles northwest OF
this city man named Abra-
hams and his mOtherin law. Mrs.
Eaton, met with an accident which
nearly cost them their lives. When
about half way across the bridge the
structure collapsed and the team and
hack w hthtieamnanOdmW cmfW
hack with the man and woman fell
80 feet.
The peculiar manner in which the
bridge jack knitted was the means OF
saving the lives of the people. Mr..
Abrahams was caught by the feet and
hung, head downward until rescued
by a renter on the John Armstrong
ranch. Aside from some severe bruises
he was unhurt, and it is not thought
that his injuries will be serious.
Mrs. Eaton was wedged in between
the seat of the hack and the bridge
timbers and was more seriously in
| jured receiving a broken arm anC
severe bruises. The team was drown
ed and the broken hack carried away
| in the stream

MINNEAPOLIS, FebA 4.-Harrison
King and company are inclined to be-
lieve that a hoodoo pursues them in
their engagement at the Orpheum this

1T did not come to my attention at
first. but after a while it dawned on
me that every time floOrwalker turn

over this apparently inconsequential
remark. finally said to one of the
clerks:
"'For mercy's sake. what does
'Two-ten' mean?'"
''fOh, that's nothing said the man
l put the question to, It's just sort
of password
THAT didn't satisfy me and when
the delivery boy came to the hotel
said: Want to make 80 cents, young
man? Tell me what "TwO-ten'
means,

means "Keep yOur two ewes on her

He FELT LIKE A DouGHNuT
And His Wife Laughed So Hard At The
Joke She Nearly Died Of
Mysteries.

Mrs. Samuel Sellers of Highland Ridge,
a few miles west of this town. is re-
covering from a severe attack of hys-
terics during which she was so violent
that Mr.. Sellers received several Sc
he could summon neighbors to assist
him in caring for his WIFE
The Sellers are a newly married
couple, and the young bride has yet to
learn all of her husbands likes and
dislikes or table viands. She soon dis
covered his inordinate fondness for
twisted molasses doughnuts, and, last
night, as she was preparing supper
she said, would you like doughnuts
for SUPPER"
Mr.. Sellers was SO busy reading the
evening paper that she had to repeat
the question three times ere he heard.
Then he answered in an absent minded
way: Put 'em on. Sometimes after
nut"
Although he was entirely innocent of
any attempt at humOr, the reply excited
Mrs Sellers risibiities and she went
off in a peal of laughter which con-
tinued until she was pOwerless to stop
it, and then developed into a fine fit of
hysteria.
All Mr. Sellers attempts to assist his
wife We're met by screams of 80 you

I'll eat yOu" for in her hysterical
condition she was beside herself, as
the long scratches in her husbands
face testify. When Mrs. Sellers was

WHITMAN LOST TO IDAHO.
But Missionaries Won From State Col.
lege Decisively.

PULLMAN. Wash. Feb. 4-One
victory and one defeat is the
record of the Whitman basket
ball team. The defeat was ad
ministered by the University of Idaho
at Moscow this afternoon. The game
was holly contested and ended in q
score of 26 to %. The result was partly
due to the strange. slippery floor and
partly to the absence of Captain Rigs
by from his position at center
At Pullman this evening Whitman
won a decided victory from the state
college by a score of "a to II. Barnes
FelthOuSe and butcher were the stars
of the game
The result of todays games leaves
the respective strength of the three
intercollegiate teams rather in a mud
die.
BY a previous game the state college
won from the University of Idaho by
II to Q. That Whitman won so easily
over Pullman would seem to make the
collegians from Walla Walla much
stronger than Moscow. AS it was the
defeat was not overwhelming.
Out of the six games played this
week Whitman has won four and lost
two. The team will return home to-
morrow.

LIQUOR SEIZURE CASES. Officers Hurd.
Ellis and Cuddy searched the Common
| wealth Hotel hast Saturday afternoon and
| secured two quarts of whiskey and a small
| quantity of lager. The proprietor of the
place, Guy Gray, who has acted as such
since the April term of court, was given the
usual sentence of so days in Jail and to paw
a fine of 500 and costs by Judge Rogers
Monday afternoon, from which he appealed.
The same officers searched the Windsor Ho-
tel Monday. July Sth, and found % quart
bottles full of whiskey and several bottles
which were partly full of whiskey, wine,
lager and ale. These bottles, which had
been opened, were found in or near the bar
room. Edwin A. Jones, the proprietor, was
arrested and taken before the Police Court
Tuesday forenoon, where his case was treat
ed the same as in Gray's case, before men,
toned. Edward Hanson, proprietor of the
Frankfort House at Frankfort, was also
brought before the Police Court Tuesday
forenoon by Deputy c. F. Drake. 1t ap-
peared that Hanson made two single sales
of intoxicating liquors on Monday to some
one in Frankfort Hanson was represented
by Terence B. TOwle, Esq, of Bangor at the
hearing. The State seemed to make out its
case in both cases and sentence of 80 days
in Jail and to pay fine of $50 and costs on
each was imposed by the court, from which
he appealed to the Supreme Court, fur

was also treated to an unpleasant surprise

| capiases from the Supreme Court waiting
to place him under bond on like number
of cases now pending in court. These
papers called for bond of $500 each, or
$500 in all. 1t has become quite arisk to
furnish such bond, especially for man
who nearly always fees from court about
two weeks before it conveneS, thinking, it
is supposed, this is the easiest way to get
by the court and escape trial. The men
who went bonds for him were carefully ex-
amined under oath as to the sufficency of
the bond and should Hanson adopt his old
plan of running away next September it
will leave them in avery awk ward position.

SUNDAYS STORM. The electrical storm

SUNDAYS STORM. The electrical storm
OF last Sunday was general Throughout the
State and was unusually severe. Many
buildings were struck, some were burned
at least one person was killed and some
stock was killed. Before the rain came
the sky was so obscured that it was too
dark to read. The thunder was very heavy
| and the lightning so vivid and sharp as to
terrorize many. A little after one O'Clock a
chimney>in the centre of the Windsor Hotel
was struck and partly demolished, the
lightning passing down the chimney into
the ground and doing more or less damage
on the way. Fortunately it did not set the
building on fire and no one in the hotel
was injured. Our county correspondents
tell of the effects of the storm outside of the
city.
