HE KNOCKED HIM DOWN.

Shortly before IL o'clock last night
two men-one of pretty powerful
physique and the other of smaller
physical proportions-came out of
the Windsor bar quarreling, and
suddenly, without warning, the big
man struck the smaller man terrific
blow on the head with his fist. knock
ing the smaller man several feet and
landing him on his back on the mud
dy sidewalk. Then, cursing and
abusing his vanquished foe. the big
man grabbed him by the collar,
jerked him to his feet and told him
to go home at once or he would give
him few more rouds like he had
just received
Dazed and shaking, the smaller
man picked up his hat and a bundle
which he was carrying. and moved
off slowly up the street. He did not
move fast enough for the big man,
and the latter ran up to him, and.
shaking his fist, repeated his threats
to knock him down again
The smaller man slowly continued
on down the street and presently the
big man reentered the saloon
NO arrests were made.
As yet no word has been heard
from II. j. Gray and his auto party.

Child Kidnapped by Train.

Spokane-The 3-year-old son of
Mrs. Tuten, of Juliaetta, eluded his
mother and climbed on a passenger
train at Juliaetta, Idaho, Sunday af-
ternoon, in search of his papa, and
was wandering alone through the
train when the brakeman found the
little tot after the train had left the
station. The mother never missed
the child until after the train had left
and was frantic, thinking the boy had
been kidnapped.
Conductor Bates took charge of
the child and sent a brakeman
through the train to locate the par
ents. A lady from Juliaetta recog-
nized the youngster and took charge
of him until Arrow Junction was
reached, where Conductor Bates re-
ceived a telegram appealing to him
to locate the child and return 1t to
Juliaetta. The mother was notified
that her son was safe and he was
sent back in charge of freight con-
ductor.
