OUTLINES Of NEW STATE Of LINCOLN

Frederick J. Haskin, writing to the
Oregon Daily Journal of the proposed
new state Of Lincoln, tells some in
teresting things of the inland empire,
his letter on that interesting subject
being as follows:
If the plans which are being devel-
oped in the, country around Spokane
do not miscarry, Miss Columbia will
add a new star to her crown and an
other state to the union. Between
the Bitter Root mountains on the
east, the Salmon river mountains on
the south, the Cascade mountains on
the west and the Canadian boundary
line on the north, there are about40I-
600, 900 acres of territory cut off as
completely from the country beyond
it as the Caucasus cut Off southeast
ern Europe from Asiatic Turkey and
Persia, or as the Alps divide Switzer-
land and Italy
This territory belongs to three
states, Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon. The people of northern Idaho
cannot get to their state capital with
out travelling west through eastern
Washington, thence south through
eastern Oregon, and thence east to
Boise.
The people east of the Cascade
mountains in Washington are said to
be as much out of sympathy with the
either portion of their state as that
part Of Virginia lying west of the
Alleghanies was with the rest of the
Old Dominion at the outbreak of the
civil war And the people of eastern
Oregon find little in common with
their own people west of the noun
tains.
But these isolated portions Of the
three states have evrything in COM
mon. Their interests are one, and
now they want to get together and
form a state out Of their wonderful
inland empire.
There are nearly 100000 acres
Of Idaho territory in the boundaries
of the proposed new state. The pro-
ponents want the 45th degree Of lati-
tude, which now constitutes the
northern boundary Of Wyoming,
adopted as the northern boundary Of
Idaho and the southern boundary Of

TAKES LIFE FOR TRIVIAL CAUSE
Deputy Sheriff of Madison County,
\. c., Commits Suicide.

Asheville, n. c., Dec. 2O.-For no
apparent cause other than a fit of
irritation, caused by his having miss
ed train, Fred. Runnion, deputy
sheriff of Madison county, this after
noon put pistol to his left temple
and shot himself through the head
Cying almost instantly.
Deputy Sheriff Runnion, accompa-
MED by his wife, came to Asheville
from Marshall Saturday morning to
do some Christmas shopping and
registered at the Windsor Hotel. He
left an order at the office to be called
for the morning train, but when
awakened failed to rise and as a
consequence missed his train. He
later showed much irritation and re-
fused to leave his room for dinner
and his wife went to the dining room
alone. On returning to her room
after the meal she found her hus-
tand lying across the bed dead, with
blood trickling from a wound is his
forehead. His pistol was still clutch
ed is the right hand.
There was no known cause for the
suicide, Runnion being in apparent
good health and spirits up to a few
hours before the shooting. He was a
we'll known man in Madison county
and possessed of considerable wealth.
The sudden shock of the tragedy
has left Mrs. Runnion prostrated.

BRIDE WAS A CORPSE.
Girl Sailed from England to Marry i'm
this Country Died on Voyage.

New York, Dec. 22.-When the
big liner Baltic warped into her
dock here to-day after one of the
most tempestuous voyages of her ca
reer, Charles c.. Clarke, OF Eureka,
Utah, learned that the woman he had
waited years to wed had died while
crossing the ocean to join him in the
home he had made for both. The
girl-Nliss Priscilla Hewison, of
White Haven, England-~was strick-
en- with peritonitis soon after the
ship sailed. So rough was the sea
that the ships surgeon found it i'm
possible to perform an operation, and
after two days illness death ended
her sufferings. Neither the young
woman nor her brother, accom- pany-
ing her, had money to defray the
cost Of burial ashore, but several
hrst-cabin passengers, among them
Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, wife Of the
American ambassador to Great Bri-
tain, made up liberal purse and
arranged to have the body brought
to New York for burial. Clarke and
Miss Hewison had been chilhood
sweethearts, and they had planned
to be married before Christmas. In
stead, he and the dead girls brother
will be the chief mourners when the
body Is laid away in Kenisco ceme-
terry on what was to have been her
wedding day.

without warning drew a revolver and
fired five shots at Laird. Laird fell
in his tracks and died without utter
ing a word.
Last week Laird declined to fur
ther patroniZe Facetti because of
the alleged uncleanlincss of Facettis
store. This enraged the Italian, but
Laird walked out Of his shop and the
incident was considered closed.

Small but Wonderful Ships.

In the navy yard at Washington
there are men, watchmakers by trade,
who build upon small scale perfect
copies Of every ship which is added
to the American navy. These ships,
which would make wonderful toys,
copy in every smallest detail the
largest ships of every description
which make up our navy. So small
are these ships, compared with the
originals, that parts of the machin-
cry must be very minute, and only q
man used to the delicate work of
Matchmaking can do what is requir-
ed. 1t Is said that the cost of one Of
these miniature vessels is several
thousand dollars.

at his residence Sunday afternoon,
and Willie l.. Smith, Jr., his son, is
in Jail at Bishopville charged with
murder--all as the result OF a fight
that occurred during a supper given
Ashlal.I Saturday night
1t seems in the evidence that there
had been bad blood between the
Smiths and MOores for some time;
in fact, there have been several quar-
rels and number Of fights, in con-
nection with litigation in the courts,
extending over some months, but
nothing serious happened until Sat
urday night.
The trouble began in the WOW.
Hall and all parties adjourned to the
open, where young Smith broke a
catsup bottle over Moore's head and
his father attacked Moore with a
piece of wood. Moore pulled his pis-
tOl and shot the elder Smith three
times in the abdomen, then turned
to run and both the Smiths shot at
him several times, two bullets TAX
ing effect. Singularly enough, both
lodged in the heart.
Moore died instantly, but w. L.
Smith, ST., lived until Sunday after
noon. Young Smith was not hit.
