was felt to the west and north of this
city. Quincy, ILL.,, experienced the
worst blizzard in 20 years with rail
road traffic and street cars at stand
still.
Moberly, Mo-, reported drop of So

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 30.-Although the
wind which swept Nebraska and ad
joining states was partially abated
Friday night, the mercury mad fallen
below zero which emphasized the af
ter effects of the disastrous blizzard
and was little less effective than the
storm itself in it's results.
Reports began coming in Friday
night from outside cities and towns
which gives the storm precedence as
a record breaker, and while generally
prepared for the emergency, the visi
tation was not without it's disasters
Nearly every portion of the state heard
from reports disastrous results and in
many places buildings were unroofed
At Plattsmouth a fine new theater lest
it's roof; at Grand Island two business
blocks were seriously damaged; AT
Beatrice several buildings were prac
tically destroyed and at Lincoln the
damage was great in proportion to the
size of the city.

RAILROAD AGENT
RESCUES OLD MAN
John W. Hili Scizcs an Old Man Who
Was i'm Danger of Being Thrown
under n Train.

Agent John Hill of the Northern
Pacific railroad probably saved the
life of an old man named Carmichael
at the railroad station Monday. The
man, who is lame in both feet and
who walks with crutches. had fingered
about the city until several minutes
after the time when No. 4 should have
pulled out from the station here. The
train however was delayed and the
old man appeared in time to call loud
ly for a delay until he got aboard. He
seized the rails at the closed end of the
smoker just as the train got under
way and, with his utches held high
in one hand and the other grasping
the rail, ran alongside. Many thought
the speend of the cars had become so
great that the old man. IL not dragged
off his feet would be thrown when he
was forced to loosen his hold. Mr.. Hill
ran up and seized the old man, only
to be roundly abused for his pains
and threatened beating, Carmichael
welding his crutches in most threat
ening manner Later Carmichael at
tracted considerable attention to him
self in other ways about the railroad
station.

APPLE TREE FROZEN
FOURTEEN YEARS AGO
Has Grown Continuously Since and
Borne a Large Crop of Fruit Each
Year Until Destroyed.

A section of the trunk of 20
year old apple tree is on exhibition
in the window of the Office of Messrs.
Lowther and Wilcox, just south of the
postoffice. The tree was planted in
1889 and was frozen a foot or so
above the ground in 1895. 1t has
grown continuously since, and last
year bore a good crop. 1t was taken
out this year or rather in the winter
time to permit of new trees being
planted in the orchard, this and some
others being out of alignment. The
wood was perfect right across the tree
at the ground but foot above, or
where it was unprotected by the snow,
it was porous, where it's life had been
taken by the cold. Around this
frozen section the good wood had
grown from year to year and each
year the tree has given good
crop. 1t is not commended, of course,
that sound heart is essential to the
success of a tree, but the case in point
proves that a frozen tree may live and
yield good returns for years after
wards. The tree was cut from the
Schreiner ranch at the Johnston cor
ners.

RESTAURANT BOX CASE
Preliminary Steps i'm the Testing of
the Validity of the City Ordinance
Governing Boxes in Restaurants

Sam Chong, Chinese proprietor Of
Sans cafe at No. Yakima avenue
was fined $40 and costs in the police
court Friday afternoon by Police
Judge Wende, upon being found guilty
of the charge of having maintained
boxes in his place of business con-
trary to the city ordinance. The case
was appealed by Attorney H. J. Snive-
ly for the defense. Chief Storey was
the only witness and testified to the
height and other details of the boxes.
City Attorney Allen was assisted in the
prosecution by Attorney Luse, who is
the legal representative of the reform
element, who are the instigators of the
box agitation. The fining of Sam
Chong was but a step to get the matter
up to the higher courts, and will be
heard at the May term of the super
Tor court. The case will be carried to
the supreme court to settle for all
time, the question of the validity of
the ordinance, the Cinnamon having
subscribed to fund for that purpose.

ROCK CRUSHER FOR THIS CITY
Walla Procuring Inside Position
On Proposed Road Work.

Calls for bids for rock crusher
plant for North Yakima have been is
sued by the state board of control.
Despite this fact Walla Walla, it is
said, through its commercial club. is
making every effort to have the
crusher intended for this district swift
ched to that city. Because of the fact
that Eugene Lorton, who Is believed
to have more or less to say regarding
the board of control, Is former
Walla Walla editor it is believed that
acter may be exertcd to have the
switch made. Recognizing this fact
and to offset the activity of the Walla
Walla commercial club the club of
this city has got busy and is taking
steps to offset the activity of the men
in the penitentiary town. A commit
tee has been appointed to use such
pressure as can be brought to bear to
have the plans for a crusher near
North Yakima carried out. The COM
mittee consists of Hon. S. ]. Gamer
on, Hon. L. o. Meigs, w. w. Robert
son. DR.. II. p. James and a. II. Henry.

An Olympia dispatch of Friday
says:
"The state board of control has cal
led for bids to be opened in Olympia
May 81 for the complete rock crush
err plants for the state convict camps

ture road making material. 1t is es-
timated the machinery installed will

IRISH AND HAASZE LIKE
THE COLUMBIA
Make a Cross Country Trip by Auto
mobile and Are Greatly Pleased
With Hanford and White Bluffs.

Messrs. w. N. Irish and f. j. Haasze
have been across country to the Col
umbia river looking at the Hanford
and White Bluffs propositions. Neither
gentleman had previously found time
to visit that section but the automo-
bile and the improved roadway made
the trip a possible one at this time.
They left here Wednesday and had an
easy run across. Returning they had
a nice run in from Blackjack but be-
fore reaching that point were tied up
somewhat, their difficulties however
only serving to make the trip an in
teresting one. They were greatly de-
lighted with Hanford and White Bluffs
though as yet they have not invested
in that section. Mr. Irish says he was
surprised to find so good a roadway
between North Yakima and the Col
umbia river. A little expenditure Of
money, he says, would put it in excel
lent condition and he thinks the in
vestment would be a good one.

BANDITS RIFLE n. p. TRAIN
Daring Train Robbery Near Spokane
Thursday Night-Posscs Formed
No Particulars of Robbery.

SPOKANE, April ga Spokes-
man. Review special from Hauser
Junction, Idaho, says: Northern Pa
cific train No. 3 was held up at 1925
tonight three miles east of this place
by two highwaymen, described by
Conductor A. F. Miley as being, one a
very large proportional man, the
other of ordinary build.
They cut the engine and one mail
car from the train, took two shots at
the fireman, missing him by a very
narrow margin, ordered him off the
engine and put a gun to Engineer
Whitlesey's head and demanded him
to go ahead until they told him to
stop. One bandit took the fireman's
place, and as they passed Hauser he
was throwing coal in the firebox in
an experienced manner
This together with the fact that no
markers were on the rear of the train
and the engine crew disregarded the
signals, it was at once surmised by the
operator that it was a hold-up, and
he notified the dispatcher at Spokane
to that effect, which proved to be cor
rect. Officials at Spokane and Rath-
drum were at once notified and while
the mail car was being robbed be-
tween Trent and Yardley posses were
being formed on either side of the
bandits to overhaul them.
The engine and mail car ran by the
signals at Trent, ten miles east of
Spokane. 1t is supposed that the en-
CINE was abandoned by the robbers
between that point and Yardley. No
particulars of the robbery are OBJ
tainable.

MAKES PROGRESS
Thirteen Witnesses Testify-Rcal
Estate Man Gives Strong Evidence
Servants Testify.

FLUSHING, May 3.--With 10 of
the defense witnesses disposed of the
Hams trial started on the third week
today. Probably the most important
testimony in behalf of Hams was that
of Lee Bugg, the real estate dealer
and member of the Baysde Yacht
club. who testified he had discussed
the merits of certain property adjoin-
ing the yacht club with Thornton
Hams. Bugg's testimony tended to
show the lack of generalization on the
part of the defendant. Negro servants
in the Hams household created mer-
riment by their characteristic manner
in telling of the antics" of Billy
Annis and Claudia Hams at the Hams
home during the captains absence.

PUT DYNAMITE UNDER PILLOW
Sleeping Man Blown Up, But Wife
Lying by His Side Escapes.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May l.
Mrs. Rudolph Buol was awakened at
an early hour by a terrific explosion
and shock and found her husband
blown to pieces. She, herself, was
uninjured, by the dynamite which
killed her husband while they lay
asleep side by side In their bed.
The assassin of Buol. who was 50
years old, lifted "A window along which
the bed in which the victim lay was
situated and placed beneath the mans
pillow a stick of dynamite with a
lighted fuse attached. The murderer
then fled and moment afterward the
fatal explosion occurred.
Suspicion has not been fastened
upon any one. Buol had no known
enemy who would resort to such ex-
treme. The slayer left absolutely 40
clew and the police are at sea.
