COUNTY Division
NOT AN issue
NEZPERCE DELEGATES TO THE
COUNTY CONVENTION WILL
SUPPORT PLANK AGAINST
SUCH PROCEEDINGS.

The county division question Is a
dead issue as far as the Nezperce
section is concerned" said Attorney
A. A. Alvord. who was in the city
today to represent the defense In the
case OF the United States vs.. A. j
Morris. charged with bootlegging.
THE delegates to the county con-
vcntion recently held a meeting and
passed resolution adverse to coun-
ty division, and will support plank
III the county platform against
county division. The change in the
people Of that community during
the past two years has been brought
about by the better transportation
afforded the prairie country. The
building Of the railroad to vollmer
and the construction Of the electric
line from Nezperce to the Northern
Pacific has provided the country
with ample transportation. and the
citizens believe the county division
agitation should be retired"

try and states about 500 transient
laborers' are now working in the

The announcement of the Idaho

Hill roads and is being extended
irto the Grand Ronde coal district
for the purpose of gaining control of

This theory is supported by the
statement that during the exploita-

hy with all his might ut the Servian's
head, upturned in the earnestness or
his bawl!ng. On the instant the re-
volver roared loudly in the narrow
kitchen, and Armitage seized the brass
lamp and flung it FROM him upon the
hearth, where it fell with great clat-
ter without exploding.
1t was instantly pitch dark The
Servian had gone down like felled OK,
and Armitage, at the threshold, leaped
over him into the hall past the rear
stairs, down which the men were STUN
bling, cursing volubly rs they came.
Armitage had assumed the existence
of a front stairway, and now that he
was launched upon an unexpected adj
venture he was in humor to prolong
it for moment even Mt further risk.
He crept along dark passage to the
front door, found and turned the key
to provide himself with a ready exit,
then. as he heard the men from above
stumble over the PROSTATE Servian, he
bounded up the front stairway, gained
the second floor, then the third and
readily found by Its light the room
that he had observed earlier from the
outside.
Below there was smothered confrl-
sion and the cracking Of matches as
Durand and Chauvenet sought to grasp
the unexpected situation that confront
ed them. The big servant, Armitage
knew, would hardly be able to clear
matters for them at once, and he hur-
riedly turned over the packets OF PHI
pers that lay on the table. They were
claims of one kind and another against
several South and Central American
republics, chiefly for naval and mill
tary supplies. and he merely noted
their general character. They were, on
the face of it, certified accounts in the
usual manner Of business On the back
of each had been printed with "a rubber
stamp the words: Vienna, Paris
Washington. Chauvenet ct Durand."
Armitage snatched up the coat which
Chauvenet had SO carefully placed on

through the pockets, found them
empty. then gathered the garment

himself to feel the papers sewn into
the lining and laughed again as he tore
the lining loose and drew forth a fat
linen envelope brilliant with three
seals Of red wax.
Steps sounded below. A man was
running up the back stairs, and from
the kitchen rose sounds of mighty
yroanings and cursings in the heavy
yutturals Of the Servian, as he re.
gained his wits and sought to explain
his plight.
Armitage picked up chair. ran
noiselessly to the head Of the back
stairs and looked down upon Chauve-
net, who was hurrying up with nam
ing candle held high above his head,
its light showing anxiety and fear
upon his face. He was halfway up the

"You aUtu 90 to that corner"
with the Servian alone. The fellow
continued to humble his threats, but
Armitage had resolved to play the part
of an Englishman who understood no
German, and he addressed the man
sharpaS~;..- r.,.-'lisie several times to sig
nifty that he did not understand.
The Servian half turned toward his
prisoner, the revolver in his left hand
while with the fingers of his right he
felt laboriously for a lamp that had been
revealed by the fitful flashes of thr
matches. It is not an easy matter to
light lamp when you have only one
hand to work with, particularly wher
you are obliged to keep IN eye on .
mysterious prisoner Of whose character
you are ignorant, and 1t was several
minutes before the Job was done.
"You will go to that corner" ane
the Servian translated for his prison
er's benefit with gesture of the re
volyer.
Anything to please you, worthy fel,
low" replied Armitage, and he obeyed
with amiable alacrity. The mans oh
ject was to get him as far from tho
inner door as possible while he called
help from above, which was, of course
the wise thing from his point Of view,
as Armitage recognized.
Armltage stood with his back against
a rack of pots. The table was at his
left and beyond it the door opening
A.. = yrvip, II mn WE :.
at his right. Opposite him was another
door that communicated with the in
terror of the house and disclosed the
lower steps of rude stairway leading
upward. The Servian now closed and
locked the outer kitchen door with
care.
Armitage had lost his hat in the
area; his light walking stick lay IN the
middle Of the floor; his inverness coat
hung wet and bedraggled about him;
his shirt was crumpled and soiled. But
his air Of good humor and his tame ac-
ceptance Of capture seemed to increase
the Servian's caution, and lie backed
away toward the inner door with his
revolver still pointed at Armitage's
head.
He began calling Justify up the mar
row stairwell in Servian, changing tn
q moment to German. He made
ludicrous figure, as he held his revolver
at arms length, craning his neck into
the passage and bowling until he was
red in the face. He paused to listen,
then renewed his cries, while Armi-
tage, with bis back against the rack OF
pots, studied the room and made his
plans.
"There is thief here! have caught

perated by the silence above. Then. as
he relaxed q moment and turned to
make sure that his revolver still coy
cred Armitage, there was sudden
