the county commissioners and the
bills of DR.. Morrison, county

start with. When these things
have been sifted the gentlemen
from the farmers clubs think that
a few other things in connection
with county affairs can be brought
to light as needing investigation.

Fortune In Their Capture If Same Gang Is
Holding Up Great Northern Trains.

A total price Of $4,000 is be.
lieved to be on the heads of four
train robbers responsible for the
injury of IL persons, among whom
are Mr.. and Mrs. T. N. Wilson,
S312 Adams street, Spokane; B. II
Harmon, 1112 Sprague avenue
Spokane, and Kirl Riedelsberger
1920 Third avenue, Spokane.
They were injured about mid
night Saturday, as the result of a
collision between the passenger
coaches with the engine and mail
car of Great Northern train No. g.
about 20 minutes after the train
had been held up by four men.
AS perfectly cool as though per
forming some well planned piece
OF everyday work, four men, all
masked and with an imposing ar.
ray of artillery, clambered into the
engine cab, shortly before the train
pulled into Colbert, IL miles from
Spokane. They remained on the
train while some switching was
done at this point, and then took
entire possession, compelling the
engineer and fireman to disconnec,
hte engine and mail car.
The mail clerk was driven from
the car and with the engine crew
was chased back to the train. while
the four bandits steamed away
with the mail.
At point half way between
Colbert and Mead the registered
mail was rifled and with the throt
tie open and the engines lever re
versed, both engine and car were
sent with open brakes back down
the hill at rapid rate to the string
of coaches standing dead on the
tracks.
Ties were thrown across the
track by the train crew in vain
effort to ditch the mail car and
avert a collision. Passengers were
thrown forward upon the seats
windows were broken, lamps de
molished and water tanks burst
by the terrible jolt.

Donald, the noted train robber and

Northern train robbery at Rondo

robbers who held up the Great
Northern train east of the city Sat
urday night, is missing and the au-
thorities are looking for him. Will
Jams is declared by his acquaint-
ances to have been a sort of harum

excitement and adventure.
He did service in the United
States army during the Spanish
American war and came to Spo-
kane but a short time ago. He is
said to have discussed the recent
Northern Pacific holdup with some
of his friends and laughed at the
robbers trouble for the little loot
they secured. declaring they must

Saturday night is described as six
feet tall, slender, dark hair and
smooth shaved. He wore a white
SLOUGH hat with small brim, dark
coat and trousers, was 35 or 40
years of age. face wrinkled, and
weighed about 100 pounds. Another
one OF the robbers is described as
weighing about 100 or 10 pounds,
dark complexion. black SLOUGH hat

the greatest interest by all breeders
and raisers Of live stock
Many improvements have already
been wrought in the hocks and herds
of the United States, and values of all
kinds of live stock have increased
greatly, due in large measure to the
better quality Of animals sent to mar
ket-that quality which results pri-
marily from better breeding. to en-
courage which is the chief object of the
international and other stock shows.
A striking example of the benefit
that may be done by an educator like
these international exhibitions has
been furnished in the last few weeks
Owing to the high price of corn many
farmers stopped feeding their stock
and marketed it in inferior condition,
feeling that they could not afford to
turn corn into cattle and hogs at that
figure. A few others, however, had
sufficient faith to continue feeding and
put their cattle into prime condition,
with the result that they have recently
sold at the best prices known since the
eighties. For example. NJ. F. Dunlap,
a widely known farmer and banker of
Jacksonville. Ill. sold ninety Eight big
prime Shorthorn and Hereford steers,
weighing 1,S34 pounds. at an average
of $165.61 per head. a price which has
not been reached since the days Of the
civil war. Others have done almost
as well. So notable has been their tri-
umph that one Chicago paper remarks.
It took men of COURAGE and confident
understanding to feed these cattle Who
were these strong hearted feeders, then
for the most part?
If a close canvass of them could be
made it is safe to say a very large pro-
portion of them v.orld be found to be
men who have protited materially by the
knowledge they have gained in judging
the merits of cattle ard he methods OF
feeding at the International Live Stock
exposition held il Chicago a few weeks
before the holiday ssasoH each year dur
ing the last Gine years.

vance in prices on the Chicago market

pieme court OF prize winners,

It is all this and more To describe it
adequately would require a special
breeding and feeding of adjectives in
the same way that the stock itself is
bred and fed. No mere common, un-
pedigreed words are equal to the task.
If language could be perfected through
countless generations of plain and
fancy breeding, if parts of speech
could be fattened till they resembled
