TEACHER SCRAPS DIRECTORS.
Miss Zena Mettic Wishes TO Know
Why She Was Discharged.

school scrap that may produce
some interesting developments is now
on between NJ SIS Zena Mettie former
teacher in district II and the direct
ors of that district. Miss Mettie was
| engaged to teach term of school
| that ordinarily would not terminate
until March 6. But on the first of
February her services were dispensed
with by the board much to her hui
milation and Indignation.
Under the law a school teacher
upon beng dismissed by school
board may appeal her case to the
county superintendent This Miss
Mettie has done and her appeal, which
was filed today, is a very formidable
legal document. It alleges that in
discharging her the board erred in
countless ways"
Since the appeal was filed Super
intendent Welles has called upon the
districts clerk for statement of the
reasons why the teacher was dis
missed. When the reply is received
date will be set for hearing the
case.
District n is the one in which one
of the 10 year old attendants was
found carrying a pistol as part of
his attire, The had is the son of the
chairman of the board but whether
or not the efforts of Miss Mettie tow
ard disarming her flock had anything
to do with her removal is not known.

I'm Cascade Mountains.

Seattle, Feb. S.-A snowslide three
miles west of Wellington on the Great
Northern, in the Cascade mountains
buried two engines pulling the over
land train No. 3, and held it in the
grip of the snow for nearly 10 hours
Thursday. The slide occurred be-
tween two snowsheds.
The train was due in Seattle at Z
o'clock yesterday morning. was rum
ming 20 miles an hour. The snow
storm was unusually heavy. The en-
gines escaped the full force of the
slide, and while they were covered
with snow. their great weight kept
them on the rails. The engineer and
fireman on the head locomotive dug
their way to the outside with diff
Guilty.
A messenger was sent back to We'll
lington to report the accident and
within a short time a rotary play was
sent from the west side. The train
arrived in Seattle last night.

SNOW BATH FOR HEALTH.
Physical Culture Students Try New
Preventive for Pneumonia.

Chicago Feb. S.-Three chorus
girls, a prizefighter and 4-year-old
boy, all clothed in bathing suits, took
bath in the snow yesterday "for
health's sake" In the back yard of
Professor w. Hubert Miller's physi-
cal culture institute at 2O27 Indiana
avenue. they rolled around in the
snow, assimilated natures own" and
then after 80 minutes of it., they
sought shelter and steam heat.
The girls said they liked it. the
prizefighter did not think so much
OF it, and the boy, who is the son Of
Professor Miller shivered and whim-
pered But they all thought it would
do them a world of good" and so
they went through the ordeal until
Professor Miller said they had had
enough 'for one day."
The idea is a preventative for colds
and pneumonia If they take a bath
in the snow and don't get sick.
Professor Miller says, they're not go-
ing to get sick riding on an elevated
train or a street car.

Another chapter was started this
morning in the famous story of C. h
Wade, former cashier of the Firsa
National bank, when at the instance
of District Attorney Phelps. Judge
Bean set March 23 as the date for bin
arraignment upon the charges that
have stood against him since March
4, 1905. At that time he will have
to appear in court unless il can Be
shown to the satisfaction of the court
that he is physically unable to do -
The case against Wade was called
up by the district attorney this morn
ing shortly after the Haaga jury had
reported 1t could not agree.
In calling up the case Mr.. Phelps
explained that shortly after he had
filed information against Wade DO
had been petitioned by many Of thu
leading citizens to dismiss the case
He had not done so, but when time
for araignment arrived the defend
ants attorneys presented affidavitr
from two physicians setting forth that
he was mentally ard physically unfs
fer trial. Two other physicians, ap-
pointed by the court to investigate
the case, reported likewise and thu
case had been Indefinitely postponed
II have reason TO believe that the
defendant is now able TO stand trial"
said Mr.. Phelps this morning. u
ask the court 10 fix time for his az
raignment in order that the case may
be ready for trial at the April term"
In behalf of Wade. Col. j. H. Raiey,
his attorney, said: "On two or three
occasions 1 have heard from the de-
fendant direct and have also talked
with others who have seen him,
among that number being DR.. Som
merville. From what / can learn my
opinion is that the defendant is not
in mental condition to stand trial and
that he never will be-"
In view of his cient's condition Coz
Raley asked that no direct order for
Wade's appearance be issued, but that
instead the defense be allowed 10
make a showing concerning his con-
dition. Wade is now near Los An
geles and has been there since his de-.
parture from Pendleton.
After some further discussion by the
attorneys, Judge Bean set March Is
as the date for Wade's arraignment
At that time his attorneys may pro-
duce affidavits or other proof of his
unfitness to appear and they will be
passed upon by the court. Should a
showing not be made
Wade will have TO go to trial in Aprn.
The particular charges against
Wade are for forgery and larceny by
bailee. He is charged with having
forged the signature of one of the
Vey Bros while the larceny by bailee
charge grew out Of alleged crooked
ness in connection with the Craig &C.
tate.
