IN addition to the $4,000 put into the
Santiago land, G. T. Ladson bod q personal
loon acith the Neal Bank, amounting to
$4,000 That was the loan which was secured
by the transfer to the Bank of a bond for
title to tract of land on Peachtree street:
also bv transfer of certain stock IN the
Buena Vista Land Company, of Cuba. The
suburban land lying in and around Havana
has been sold under an order of Court for
$4,000. of which $4,000 has been paid In cash
and applied to the payment of that first lien
held against the Santiago land. The San
tiago tract has been sold to parties through
Receivers of the Neal Bank will obtain $780,,
600. On the sale of the Santiago land
ST., 800 has been paid, of which $27 500 was
applied to the first lien on the land, and
$4,000 was distributed to the depositors of
the Neal Bank in the Is per cent dividend
which we received some days ago. We have
only received IS per cent. of our money and
in winding up the Banks affairs nothing will
be realized for the stockholders. With time
and careful management the depositors may
be paid off, but one who knows says, cit IS
not in my personal Judgment at all certain
that we will be able even with the most eco
nomical management to do this"
It is proper that [ should state further
UIldU my Is Ul1dU dIUcI paying Ou
the Indebtedness of c.. T. Ladson & Co., and
of Ladson to the Neal Bank, the Receiver
will have something over 100000 from the
various Cuban land deals made by Mr.. Lad
son, Mr.. Thornton and Mr.. Many So you
can see how widely far from the truth are
the statements that you have been circulating,
and how absolutely correct is everything that
[ have said
The fact that the Bank may finally realize
a profit on the land deal does not in any de-
gree remove the moral turpitude of those
who wrecked the Bank by their felonious mis-
appropriation of it's money The last one of
those three men, Ladson, Thornton and Man
nv, ought to be in the penitentiary, and if
they were poor people there's where they
would be. Ladson is a lawyer. and he knew
that he was Turing those bank officers into
criminal misuse of trust funds
It is shame that holding position which
ought to make you the friend and champion
of those thousands of workmen and work
women who suffered so severely in the failure
of the Neal Bank, you should turn up on the
side of the Bank wreckers and endeavor to
clear their skirts. Yours, etc.

REPLY. IN PART.

DEAR S1R:-From the nature of your for
mer letter. [ Judged that you desired me to
publish my reply, and it will be contained,
along with your letter, in this weeks JEFFER-
sONIAN.
Why did you intrude yourself into the
scrap that | am having with DuckWorth, 30
denhamer and Ladson2 There was no oc-
casion for you to do so: no attack had been
made on YOU, and none was intended When
you were last at my house, told you that
could not approve the way In which certain
leaders of the farmers were getting them
selves tangled up with Samuel Gompers, and
the city Labor Unions Apparently, you
were impressed by what [ said, and went
away from here intending to take no further
steps in that direction.
Duckworth can not explain that Galveston
speech, and | am trying to get the evidence
now that he received money from the Mer
chant Marine League I hare challenged the
League to state aohere they got their money
from, and aobat they are doing ruth 1t, and
they haze run to cover.
Do you suppose that [ am going to be 81
lent while such men as those l have mentioned
are duping and misleading the farmers?
Why should you write letters around to the
Local Unions, and to prominent Farmers
Union men. defending Ladson? What bust
take sides with Ladson against me? Don't
you know that l. wouldn't dare to publish
what I have said about Ladson, if | were not
certain of my facts? It is not true, as yon
haze been qoriting, that Ladson borrowed that
money on his own note and his own security.
On the contrary, he conspired with the Presi
dent and the VicePresident of the Bank,
Thornton and Many, to use those funds, IN
viozation of the lar. The capital stock of the
Neal Bank was only 100000, and it was un-
lawful to lend more than $4,000 to any one
officer of the bank Yet Ladson, Thornton
and Many took $4,000 out of the Neal
Bank and carried it to the Province of San
tiago, Cuba, where the loan was secured by
second lien on piece of land. The prior
liens on that property amounted to 100000.
The President and Vice-President of the
Bank became partners in the Company of
G. T. Ladson & Co., and this company Dor
rowed from the Neal Bank $4,000. That

Do Your Shopping Early

A general campaign has been started
by newspapers and merchants through
out the country, advising people to do
their Christmas shopping early. The
movement in this direction works for
the convenience of all, not only the
merchant and his clerks, but the shop
pers share in the benefit. Express and
postoffice employees are also urging the
early dispatch of Christmas gifts that
their work be lightened and the chances
of miscarriage minimized.
THE MINER this week. through its ad-
vertising columns, presents directory
of Christmas shopping opportunities
which includes every reasonable want
in that line. The merchants of Newport
have large and well selected stocks of
articles suitable for Christmas giving,
priced reasonable so as to merit the
patronage of all home people and those

WAS DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED
Carried Nine Miles on Stretcher
to Railroad.
Was Taken to Spokane Hospital

While attempting to shoot pack rats
In the cabin on his claim nine miles
west OF Blueslide last Thursday after
noon, Harry. son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Dunwoodle, was accidentally shot in the
abdomen, the rifle ball entering his hip
and ranging upward into the body. The
young man and his father were alone
at the time and Harry was on bunk
peerlng over its edge toward the
wall, when he discovered one of the
little pests. He asked his father to hand
him the rife, % special, and in the
act of transferring the weapon it was
discharged.
Mr.. Dunwoodie performed the almost
superhuman task of bringing the Young
man to the home cabin of the family a
nall a mile away. A messenger was
dispatched to Blueside for help and DR..
Phillips, OF Newport. was sent for. Dur
ing the night stretcher was impro-
vised, and the next morning the task of
bringing the injured young man to the
railroad station at Blueslide, was begun
by six homesteaders. The trip to the
Slide was exceedingly dangerous. The
trail was covered With sleet and snow.
and the men bearing their burden time
and again faced the danger of losing
their footing and endangering the lives
of themselves and the wounded youth.
At some points the route was so rough
and steep that it was found necessary to
tie Dunwoodie to the stretcher. 1t was
an heroic task and the men won the
heartfelt thanks of the family.
At the end of the six mile trail they
were met by u S. Anderson with team,
which enabled them to catch the after
noon train for Spokane. DR.. Phillips
and the boys mother accompanied him
to Spokane, whsre an operation was
hurriedly performed at St. Luke's hos
pital. Six perforations of the intestines
were discovered and closed, the boy
standing the operation in good shape,
sustained by wonderful vitality. The
latest reports from his bedside are to the
effect that unless untoWard circum-
stances develop he will recover from his
terrible experience.

NUMBER 30


There was no noise or any disturbance
OF any character attending the closing of
the saloons in Newport for good on
Monday night. There were fewer per-
sons than usual in the places during the
evening and everything had graveyard
appearance. The proprietor of one of
the places celebrated the event by play
ing "The Last Rose of Summer" on his
violin. Most of the saloon men are as
yet undecided as to what lines of busi-
ness they will follow in the future. 1t
was expected that several of them would
remove their stocks of liquors across the
line into Idaho, but none will do so.
Stocks have been allowed to run down
so low that one of the places was entirely
out of whisky and another of beer
Weinkauff & Koch are conducting q
pool room and "soft drink" resort, and
Joe Barry is also keeping open with
card room and soft drink attachment.
Ries' place is closed and the Dunlap bar
is being remodeled for shooting gallery.
The council not having made the re-
fund the 80 per cent of unused license
money, several of the saloonmen of the
town have threatened to resume dis
pensing liquors unless payment is
promptly made. As yet none of them
have carried out the threat. They claim
to have advice from attorney, that it
would be legal for them to do so.
The saloonmen of Newport have ap-
pealed from the decision of Judge Sulli-
van in their case. contesting the validity
of the local option election in this city.
The points on which Judge Sullivan
sustained the demurrer against their
complaint will be argued before the
supreme court of the state at Olympia,
and if the decision is favorable to the
saloons the case will be remanded to
Stevens county court for trial. 1t Ia
doubtful whether the town will make
any further defense in the case. The
saloonmen have nothing to gain locally
by a favorable decision, as the town
council as made up for the next two
years will refuse to grant any more Ii
censes

CITIZENS TICKET THE WINNER
Municipal Campaign Was Quietly
Conducted,
Results Elsewhere In the State,

Newport's municipal election passed
off very quietly. but little interest being
taken, aside from actual voting. But
l43 votes were cast out of total regis
tration of over $50
The Citizens Ticket was elected with
out exception. The vote was as follows
For mayor, NJ. Fox, Sr., "A; F. G.
Krause, 6S. For councilmen. George
Torreson, 90; d. R. Lusher, SO; A. NJ
Harris, 62. For treasurer, Fred Phil
lips, Ill.
There was no bitterness manifested in
the campaign. In fact, there was no
campaign, except for some quiet work
done by adherents of the Citizens
Ticket. This ticket was supported by
the Municipal League, formed last fall
by the local option people. There was
no issue in the election and the Munich
pal League uniting in the support Of its
candidates carried the day.
The new town officials will take charge
of the administration at the first meet
ing in January. 1t should have the
support of all citizens in the effort to
give Newport progressive, honest ad-
minstration of local affairs.
Springdale went wet hy a vote of
nearly 3 to l, J. X. Husebv having been
elected mayor.
There was no opposition in Colyille,
where w. l.. Sax was elected mayor
B. F. Seeley, formerly resident of
Newport, was elected as a councilman in
Deer Park.
f. P. Travis was elected mayor of
Northport, there being but one ticket in
the field.
The Fidelity planer was closed down
Monday on account of shortage OF cars
caused by the switchmen's strike. The
mill may resume for short run when
the car situation eases up, but will not
be operated very long. as there is but
little dry lumber in the yards. Fidelity
officials look for much better conditions
in the lumber market next spring, and
for that reason are not very anxious to
put their production on the market.

RUM0RS Of SALE ARE DENIED
President Blackwell Interviewed
On the Subject.
Railroad News of the Past Week

That the Idaho & Washington North
ern Railroad has been sold to the Great
Northern Railroad, or that deal for it's
sale to any road is under consideration,
is denied by President F. a. Blackw l..
In an interview at Spirit Lake Mr..
Blackwell said: "You may say that the
|. & w. n. has not been sold to my
knowledge, and | certainly would know !;
it ia not for sale; has track connection
with all the trunk lines now run
ming into Spokane, and will furnish
very large tonnage to all the roads,
thus giving our manufacturing interests
better and larger market than if the
road would be the property of large
system"
The Spirit Lake Herald dopes it out
that the Blackwell and the Milwaukee
roads will jointly build and operate a
line from Couer d'Alene to Spokane, the
!. 4 w. n. making connection at Nc
Guires, and the two roads using joint
terminals at Spokane in case the union
depot project in that city falls through.
1t is expected that the Blackwells will
have charge of the construction of the
new line The Occur d'Alene terminals
will be on Blackwell property opposite
the Idaho hotel. Couer d 'Alene reports
are to the effect that the Milwaukee is
seeking franchise in that city. During
the past few months considerable more
steel has been delivered to the |. & w.
\. than was needed for construction
work announced up to this time, and it
is very likely that the above is the pro-
gram for the next railroad construction
in this connection.
A gang of so Italian laborers, who
have been working in the rock cuts on
the Idaho 4 Washington Northern,
north of town, was laid off on Monday
the work having progressed as far as
contemplated this season.
A head-end collision occurred on the
Great Northern at Katka on Monday
morning. Conductor Raymond, of the
local freight, had orders to continue his
run east from Bonners Ferry to Troy, on
