gated to the rear by the we'll known

The population of the old town is in

gone away tor the winter, as Mrs. Frank
Quick presented her husband with
brand new girl on Monday.
Custer Kellogg, of Bonners Ferry, was

He reports the Newport contingent as

Paul Ferstein went to Sprindale last

Mrs. Anna Guenther is among those

The Old Town Athletic Club is now in
full swing in the old Houchins restau-

authorities do not watch out there is apt
to be prize fight pulled off over here,
as some of the boys are getting pretty
chesty.
Quite number of the boys from this

According to the Sandpoin. News the
enforcement of Idaho's Sunday rest law
is leading to peculiar situations and
complications in that city. Last Sunday
the electric light plant and telephone
exchanges were ordered shut down and
milkmen told not to deliver milk on
that day. Counsel for the light plant
advised them to go ahead and furnish
light, but to lock their doors, admit no
one and not to pay their men for work
done on the Sabbath. Standpoint seems
to have born funereal aspect all day,
and it seems to be the intention of the
authorities to make the Sunday rest law
unpopular, by enforcing it to the letter
and thus bringing about demand for
its repeal or modification.

POLICE COURT REPORT
$500 in Fines Was Collected
Numerous Arrests During 1907
Were Mostly Transients

The police record for the past year
shows that the local officers have made
100 arrests on various charges, from
plain drunkenness to burglary. Eighty
eight of these cases were brought to
trial and fines aggregating $500 were
collected from prisoners.
The majority of arrests were made
during the summer season, when the
floating population was greatest. More
arrests were made for drunkenness than
for any other cause, and in these cases a
nominal fine was imposed, while in some
instances, where the defendants were
without funds, reprimand was deemed
by the court as sufficient.
Three men were arrested by the city
marshal and charged with burglary, and
on hearing before Police Judge Lushel
were bound over for trial in the superior
court. Two of these men were later SEN
fenced by Judge Carey to long terms
in the penitentiary.
Last August City Marshal JENNIE made
most important and clever capture
when he picked up Ora Conner, no
torious crook and hersethief, ont of 8
crowd of strangers at the corner O.
Washington avenue and Fourth street
and for whom the sheriff of Douglas
county offered a substantial reward
While confined in the local jail Connol
managed to escape. He has since beer
captured and is now on trial for hi
crimes in the distant county.
Owing to the vigilance of the local DO
lice the city has been kept free from
crooks and other vicious persons during
the past year. Compared with the pc
lice reports of other towns Newport i
probably the most orderly town in TIN
northwest. That so few felonies ar
committed is clearly indicative of thi
fact. The majority of those arrested
are transients.

A Hot knife.

"A knife that cuts butter when It
Is hot (and under no other circum.

the reason of this is easily explained.
Heat expands metal and in proportion

the former therefore is expanded i'm
