Wilkes-Jones Trial

Captain Woodward's court was
busy grinding away several days
OF last week when the case of
Wilks vs Jones came up for trial.
While the case occupied about two
days in trial its importance must
not be measured accordingly. The
trouble started some time the past
month when Jones collected a
bill off OF Wilkes and then Wilkes
brought suit to recover damages
and rental for buggy owned by
him and being used by Jones.
A jury trial was demanded and a
large number of witnesses intro
duced by both sides. Judge
Vineyard represented Wilkes and
Judge Scales was the council for
Jones. After duly considering
the matter the jury found for
Jones and taxed the cost of the
case up to Wilkes. The costs will
amount to close on to hundred
dollars. We understand the
matter will be appealed TO the dis.
trict court. and before the case
is settled someone will have q
large bill to settle.

ELECTRIC LINE
Elk City Representatives Met
With Grangeville Citizens
We WILL GIVE ASSISTANCE
Money Must De Secured for
Survey and Other Work

In response to q call issued last
Monday by the Commercial Club
for mass meeting of the citizens
of this town to meet and listen to
the proposal Of representatives of
Elk City regarding the securing of
transportation for that camp, over
q hundred citizens responded.
Close attention was given to the
remarks aud statements of the
gentlemen from that camp and
much interest taken. A committee
was appointed to see what amount
could be secured in this city TO
assist in the survey and other pre-
liminary work.
Mr.. Schlosser made brief state
ment to the people and stated
there were just two things to be
considered, namely, to show there
was necessity for transportation
to the camp and then build the
road. He stated the movement
was young, less than a week old,
that it's origin was in Elk and had
resulted from meeting Of several
OF those heavily interested in the
camp and later when a meeting
was held in the camp and the few
plans unfolded every man iu there
who had been approached
was enthusiastic and was willing
to contribute as much as he could
to assist in the preliminary survey.
Something like $4,000 had been
pledged by Elk and OroGrande
and committees appointed to visit
the other camps, towns and cities
that would be benefited by such a
road.
The gentleman stated that at
the present 1875 prospects were be-
ing developed in that vicinity and
two paying mines, the Buster and
the Hogan property, were being
worked. He stated the Hogan
property was being worked at a
profit Of 500 a day. 1t was his
judgement that with the advent of
transportation it was safe to say
twenty-five properties would be
producers.
Many citizens were called upon
for an expression of their views
and all favored assisting. The
plan is to secure in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 for the preliminary
work and Grangeville is expected
to contribute a fourth of the
amount. As to where the road
will connect with a steam road il
is not known, Elk City of course
is willing to leave this matter be
determined by those who are inter.
ested.
1t is said the most feasible route
is to connect at Grangeville but
there is no use scrapping about il
now for we have no assurance al
the present that the road will b,
built.
A committee was appointed t.
secure funds here and is nov
busily engaged.

to which Spaulding replied iii you

and in passing out picked up
"billy" and slipped it into his hip
pocket. He met Spaulding in the
doorway and ask him when he was
going to pay the account and
Spaulding stated just as soon as he
could get the money. Benson ask
him to give him q horse or q mort.

him to sign note for . year which
he readily agreed to, Benson drew
up the note but made it sixty days
in place OF q year. Upon reading
the note Spaulding refused to sign
and handed it back stating he
would not sign . sixty day note.
Benson, then in angry voice ex.
claimed, "You won't, won't you!
you'll sign it before you leave this
house, you dirty, low.lifed s..- Of q

time to his hip pocket. Then Spaul-
ding fired. Putting his gun back
in his pocket Spaulding walked up
the street and later on gave him.

low the heart and falling to the
floor, Benson exclaimed "get the
man, catch him! He has killed me. !"
He WAS taken to q bed and his
wound examined, the information
was then impaired to him that he
could not live and be was asked il
he had any request to make. He
told those around him to send at
