BUFFALO LIKE NEW HOME.
Government Herd in Oklahoma is
Thriving Well.

| "Nhs
Uncle Sans herd Of Is buffaloes
which were taken from the New York
geological gardens to the Wichita
national forest, Oklahoma, in the
early fall are doing we'll in their new
home, according to advices which
have been received here from the su-
pervsor's headquarters at Cache, says
Washington dispatch.
Since leaving New York the herd
has celebrated the birth of two fine
buffalo calves, one OF which has been
named Hornaday, after the name of
the director Of the New York gar
dens which gave them to the govern
ment, and the other Oklahoma, af-
ter the new state which was born
just after the herds arrival.
Keeper Frank Rush, an old west
ern COW puncher and experienced
buffalo man. who is in charge Of the
herd, says that alfalfa hay has put
his charges in fine shape and that
the big prairie beasts are again
thriving in their native land.
The buffaloes have an 5000 acre
park in the Wichita reserve in which
they can charge and snort. During
he winter the animals will be fed al
falfa hay and protected from the
weather in a number of large shelter
sheds which have been built in the
enclosure.
In the spring they will be let out
to roam over the Wichita range and
gradually they will be encouraged to
rustic for themselves, an instinct
which they have partially lost through
years of demestication in city parks.
Government experts figure that in
time they will regain the prowess OF
their forefathers who were kings of
the plains before civilization made its
march westward.

NURSE GETS JUDGMENT.
Sues Ffaternal Order for Services
Rendered and Secures Verdict.

uNNu ohu oCCuEtS NefulCI.
Yesterday in Judge Coburn's court
the case Of Miss Mary Daker VS.. the
Woodmen of the World lodge and the
sick committee of the lodge, compris-
ing Leon Lequime. Frank Morris,
Richard Lowe and Bert Younkman,
was tried and resulted in a verdict
for the plaintiff, says the Lewiston
Tribune.
Miss Daker sued for 1892 for serv-
ices rendered as a professional nurse
in caring for George Campbell in
the fall Of 1906. Mr.. Campbell was
member of the lodge and Miss Daker
was employed by the attending ply
sician. Dr. C. c. Phelps, upon author
ity given by the lodge committee. She
rendered direct services in the sum
of SIS and held an assigned claim for
SLY for services rendered in the same
case by Bessie Reynolds, also pro-
fessional nurse. The lodge resisted
the claim on the ground that under
its charter the organization is limited
tc $3.50 for nurse hire.
George w. Tannahill was the at
torney for the plaintiff, while At

No Race Suicide in Baker CITY

The people of Baker City evidently
agree with Teddy Roosevelt as there
have been 1875 new arrivals in the va
rious homes Of this thriving city. The
population of the city is steadily in
creasing for the death rate does not
begin to equal the birth rate During
the past IL months there have been
sS deaths reported from Baker City.
The strange thing about the deaths
is that nearly half of them occurred
within one month. It-seems that the
climate here is rather peculiar and
at some seasons of the year occur
nearly all of the deaths from heart
trouble.-Baker City Herald.

THE PErTIBoNE VERDICT.
Details of the Vote as Told by the
Boise Capital News.

Boise Capital News.
The detailed vote of the jury in
the Pettibone verdict, as told by the
Boise Capital News, is as follows:
This afternoon it became known
that the first ballot of the jury in the
Pettlbone case last night resulted in
eight to four for acquittal The sec
ond ballot resulted nine to three and
was taken shortly after the first one.
1t is stated that the three who voted
for conviction were Evans, Smeed and
Palmer.
In a short time the result stood
10 to two and remained at that un-
til the last ballot was taken just be-
fore Judge Wood called the jury in
at IL o'clock this morning for the
purpose of giving medical treatment
to Juror Ben Stahl. When the ballot
was taken 1t was found that the en-
tire jury agred upon verdict Of not
guilty and accordingly the verdict was
made out and brought into court.
1t is related of Stahl that after the
first ballot was taken and the re-
suit announced, he stated:
"Well, boys, l am sick. There is
old Ben's ballot. I am going to bed
and you don't need to bother me any
more until you have agreed"
The discussions in the jury room
were at all times friendly and good
natured but earnest and jealous. The
jurors parted with the most kindly
feelings toward each other and agreed
not to dlvulge anything that happen
ed in the jury room, but in that they
counted without considering he
newspaper reporters who have a way
all their own Of getting information.
A fine dinner was prepared for
them at the jury house on Bannock |
street and most of them returned
there for dinner after the verdict was
returned and they had been discharg-
ed.

the private car of Vice President and
General Manager Bancroft of the
Short Line was turned out of the car

car No. 1908, has always been re-
garded as one of the finest service
cars on any western railroad, and now
that it has received a thorough refur-

rank with the best cars in the world.

HOGS HAVE RHEUMATISM.
That Malady Common Among Hogs
Raised I'm the Northwest.

Rheumatism Is one Of the most
common ailments to which hogs are
subject in the northwest, says the
Rural Spirit. Pretty heavy losses
have been suffered by good many
hog raisers who have been at a loss
to know how to handle their hogs to
prevent this trouble.
G. NJ. Stapish, Rural Spirit reader
and prominent hog raiser Of Lincoln
county, Wash. is authority for the
statement that hogs cannot be kept
on board floors in that country with
out having rheumatism. He says he
has had a great deal of experience
along that line and finds to keep his
hogs free from this malady he must
bed them right on the ground.
We should like to hear from others
who have had experience with rheu-
matism in hogs in different localities.
A little experience meeting on this
subject would no doubt prove profit
able to the hog industry.

Inland Empire Showed Greatest Rail.
road Building Record for 1907.
In its annual review of railroad
building during the year, the Railroad
Gazette places the total for this year
in the United States a 5212 miles,
against 1928 miles in 1906.
The figures include II miles of
new main line track relocated, but
do not include new second, third or
fourth tracks, sidings or electric
lines, The total is per cent less
than last year, although at the begin
ming of the year a large amount of
grading had been finished ready for
tracking. The Gazette continues:
The Joint low grade line of the
Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific from Kennewick, Washing
ton, west to Vancouver, 220 miles,
constructed under the name of the
Portland & Seattle, was the long
est single stretch of new road built.
Work is being pushed by the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul on its
Pacific extension. In 1906 there were
80 miles of track laid and 29S miles
were added in 1907, leaving between
100 and 1900 miles yet to be built
to finish the line to Seattle. The
Kansas City. Mexico & Orient built
A miles in Oklahoma, 25 in Texas
and Is in Mexico. There are over
500 miles yet to be built to finish the
line from Kansas City through to
Topolobampo, on the west coast of
Mexico. On the Western Pacific all
of the road in Nevada 80 miles of
track have been laid, and 102 in CAL
ifornia, leaving SIT miles yet to be
built.
