Strenuous Time With Chain GANG

Sheriff Merrittshas appointed " :.
J. Geary, of Newport, to succeed
James kearns as overseer OF the
county Jail chain gang. Geary took
over his job Monday morning.
A real western man hunt, in
which escaping prisoners were over
hauled at the mouth of smoke
wagons" occurred Wednesday
afternoon, when three men made a
futile attempt to escape from the
county chain gang as the prisoners
were starting out from the county
poor farm for the county jail. A.
r. Davis, who is serving time from
Newport on a battery charge, start
ed the trouble when as the new
overseer, W. J. Geary, was escortlng
the chain gang in the neighborhood
of the Great Northern track, the
prisoner shot out as they turned by
the coal chutes and broke into a
run. Davis has a small hand and
wrist and slipped the handouts
when he started. Geary took the
chain gang to the Great Northern
depot and told some men standing
there to look after them while he
took chase after the escaping pris-
oner.' Geary chased Davis into
field west of the Great Northern
and fired at him with As revolver
peppering away among the stumps
as Davis lodged in among them.
When Geary had exhausted the
bullets in the As he pulled 80
automatic and fired from that.
Davis got as far as the slough when
he gave up Geary shot seven or
eight shots at him before he over
took him.-Sandpoint Review

The Newport Baseball Nine

Following is a song written for the Newport
baseball nine, sung to the tune of "Good Old
Summer Time
o say, who are We? Well now, can't you see?
Newport baseball nine;
We never make errors, l tell you we're terrors,
Newport baseball nine;
And when the games are over,
Then we are in clover
For things every time go our way.
When Newport is playing
There's no use in saying
That they can't win the day
When the Newport boys play bali,
When the Newport boys play ball,
Other teams may do their best,
They can't score at all;
They may "butt inn and try to win.
But their pride will get great fall;
They'd just as we'll get up and put"
When the Newport boys play ball
Our pitcher is fine, our catcher's in line
We can sling the bat;
Our boys on the bases can all hold their places,
They know where "they're at;
We have dandy fielders,
| They're stayers not yielders
onr shortstop, you bet he can play:
inst hear those boys yelling;
yes. they are telling
| That Newport won the day

Several people in the neighbour
hood of Priest River would like to
find an Indian called Wilson. In
cidentally, they would like to find
their horses, which left about the
same time. A short time ago Will
son was around town and sold a
fine team to Frank Bombino for
$275. These died very suddenly a
short time after and circumstances
seem to point to poisoning. Evil
IDENTIFY the horses were stolen and
this means taken to cover up the
crime. Wilson is educated and at
one time made his home in the
kalispel valley. OF late he has
been in bad repute among the other
Indians. He has already served

THE HORSEMAN.

A clean wooden box makes an ideal
salt box, but don't salt the feed. Put
the salt in the trough occasionally.
Watering the Horse.
A successful horse raiser says he
counts the number OF swallows his
horses take while drinking pailful.
When he is Oh the road and comes to
a trough he gets out and counts while
his horses drink, 80 that they will not
take too much at once. He waters
often and 80 keeps his horses free from
bowel trouble caused by overdrinktng.
Wide Stalls Best.
A horse needs wider and more
exclusive stall than does a cow. It
should be wide enough so that the
horse can lie comfortably and stretch
out Its legs. but not so wide that he
can roll in 1t.
Exercise In the Winter.
The horse that Is to be kept in the
barn much OF the time in winter
should be guarded against becoming
soft. Some farmers try to save money
by feeding their idle horses on hay
during the period OF slack work. The
result Is that they begin work in the
spring with soft muscles and little
energy. Some grain should be given
during all the winter, enough to keep
the muscles In good form. Exercise Ii

SCHLEY PROSECUTOR DEAD.
Captain Samuel C. LemIey Dies In Wash
ingtOn HOSpital-WaS Prominent in
u. S. Naval Circles.

Captain Samuel C. Lemly, formerly
Judge Advocate General of the navy,
who became prominent in connection
with the famous Schley court of in
quiry, died at st. Elizabeth's Hospital,
washington, d. c., at o'clock Friday
night.
Captain Lemly conducted the govern
ment case in the inquiry as to why Com
modore (now admiral) Schley made the
famous loop with the Brooklyn at San
tiago. The report that the strain of
that trial broke him down was discred-
tied by his physicians and acquaint-
ances. His trouble came only in the
last two years.
The death of Captain Lemly calls at
tention once more to the strange fatal
ity that has followed those who were
concerned in the Sampson -Schley con-
troversy.
Admiral Sampson himself was affiict-
ed fatally at the time of the agitation.
His affection was described as aphasia,
he could not appear at the trial.
A little more than year ago the navy
circle was startled by the suicide of
Lieutenant John W. Crawford. conf
Dental secretary to Admiral Dewey,
who was president of the board of in
quiry. Lieutenant Crawford attended
all the sessions of the court and several
times was put in as stenographer.
Captain Lemly, the dead Judge Ad
vocate, was born in North Carolina, and
was appointed to the Naval Academy in
1869.
