Contrary to the announcement
nude last week, the debate with

will be held Friday evening, Nov. 13.
The matter of pOstpOnement was
submitted to PrOsser but no definite
reply was made, though it was final.
y intimated that they would prefer
holding the contest on the evening
scheduled. NOtWithsta landing that
this causes our debatOrs much incOn-
venience they would rather accede
to Prosser's wishes than permit the
pOstpOnement with an unwilling
spirit shown in the granting of it.
The affirmative will be upheld by
the PrOsser debaters, Alan Phillips,
Marsh Corbitt and Mable Smith with
Walter Smith and Lucille Schgltz as
tlternates. The Kennewick debatOrs
John Smith. Edna Cresswell and
Jessie Perry with Charlie CARRIER as

j. c. Keogler and Charles Marshall
have been making some badly needed
repairs on the county road above
town.
Five of the Hover boys went to
Finley Saturday evening to attend
the program rendered by the new
Literary Society. They report a
splendid program. There was Il lar
ger crowd than could be accOmmO-
dated by the school house. Hover
would suggest that Finley build an
Opera House.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fox left Friday for
Plymouth a station down the S. p.

Jack Marshall OF Pasco was in

Bob Leonard of Pennington, is in
town on business.
The sportsmen of Finley and How
err waged war on the Dummies across
the river Monday. Henry Taylor
and G. A. Cooper were the leaders of
Finley gang. These mighty hunters
went around by the ferry opposite
Wallula and after forming line of
men across the country, they drove
the rabbits up the river. D s. Stuart
and f. D. Parker made up crowd
OF ten of HOver's crack shots and
crossed the river at this point. Their
line worked south hearding the jacks
before them. The opposing parties
met half way between the ferry and
the power house, the rabbits being
driven into gully and surrounded
and one hundred fifty were shot.
This may seem an unnecessary
slaughter to those who do not know
the conditions. The residents of that
part of country find it impossible to
keep up their orchard tracts unless
the rabbits are kept down. 1t il
difficult to fence against them rs the
young ones get through and knaw

stroy vegetables. Cooper is said to
be the best merksman. but his
championship was closely contested

TRAIN BANDIT
TELLS OF HOLDUP
Attempted Job Alone Is Belief of
Detective

STANDPOINT, Idaho, July IL
Robert Roman, the desperate bandit
who attempted single handed to hold
up Great Northern passenger train
near Naples, Idaho, and was shot by
brave passenger, may recover from
his wounds. Roman was brought
from Boomers Ferry and is now ly-
ing on a bed in a room in the county
jail. DR.. McKinnon, who is attend
ing Roman, says the mans condition
is critical, but he may pull through.
The bullet which brought him down
was cut from his right shoulder this
morning.
That Roman had confederates who
failed him when the train hove in
sight is the firm belief of the Boomers
county sheriff and his deputies. who
are very active in following every
clue. They are working quietly but
determinedly and more arrests are
expected to follow.
During the day d. Rosenbaugh of
Boomers Ferry visited Roman and
identified him as one of a crowd of
four men who had been working for
Rosenbaugh in constructing the race
track at Bonners Ferry. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Rosenbaugh missed
six boxes OF powder and several
sticks of dynamite, with a quantity
of fuse, from his powder house. Mr..
Rosenbaugh identified the fuse
found with the bandit when the pur-
sueing posse picked up the wounded
Roman as that stolen from his mag
azine.
Worked Alone on the Job.
Were any others, connected with
the Job Of holding up the train?" Mr..
Rosenbough asked Roman.
"Oh, / guess not, was the reply.
Roman is in considerable pain and
therefore not laxative, but he man
aged to tell a SpOkesman-Reyiew
representative that it was not Con-
ductor Matthews who shot him, but
the man who appeared on the plat
form of the coach and pumped away
at him with a revolver. This pas
senger was A. J. Kent OF Bonners
Ferry, a crack pistol shot and a nervy
man.
Conductor Matthews took a shot
at the bandit. according to stories OF
the passengers. through a window
and the bandit fired back with his
rife. Reports were afioat fer , time
Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1908-07-11

that the conductor had winged the
desperado, and Roman was not will
ing to allow he had been shot by an
other man.
That the attempted holdup of
Great Northern train No. 3 had long
been in contemplation was made
known yesterday by Robert Roman,
or Romaine, upon examination by
Special Agent ]. s. Delaney OF the
Great Northern, who returned to the
scene OF the crime and made a thor
ough investigation. Delaney went
over much of the ground and made
inquiries among residents of Naples,
which proved the man had been
there for month preparing his trap
and perfecting plans.
1t was also learned from his own
confession that he had served three
years in Deer Lodge. Mont. for
grand larceny. Conductor A. NJ.
Mathews, who opened fire on Ro-
maine, returned to the scene OF the
deed with the special agent. The
bandits rife, mask and sIxshooter
were located by the section crew,
and he himself lodged in the county
jail at Standpoint.
When seen last night Special Agent
Delaney said:
II do not think he had any ac-
completes on the train. 1t was OBJ
viously a single-handed game. If It
had not been, he would have turned
and made for the hills at the first
shot from the train"
II was learned that the man went
TO the Casey hotel at Bonners Ferry
on June and registered as Robert
Romaine. He loafed about the
town for time. and at fast went to
work as a common laborer on the
fair grounds, where he remained for
two weeks. making himself familiar
with the setting Of his stage. lie
told the officers that he had his eyes
upon this place for over a year, and
that his purpose in going to Boomers
Ferry was to arrange for the holdup.
That he is not one OF the eseap-
ed robbers from Helena is certain,
continued Special Agent Delaney.
$50 far he has refused TO talk much
and has written most of HIS answers.
Questions brought only a grunt from
him, but he is not paralyzed. /
suppose his lungs are somewhat sore

OF the crime as contained in the al
legged confession and repeatedly re-
ferred to incidents connected with

penitentiary was the other witness.
He told of Adams confinement in

the statements of Mr.. Wells concern
ing several visits to Adams while in

ed with Western Federation men in
the murder of Ex-Governor Steun-
