On Trial for MansIauehter

Frank Poquette, barber, who for
merly ran a shop in the Bronson
Hotel and owned property on the South
Side, is on trial for manslaughter at
Seattle. He is charged with having
struck man named King during an
alteration in the rear of a saloon. King
subsequently died from the effects of the
blow. Poquette's attorneys claim that
he did not strike the fatal blow.
Poquette was we'll known to our towns
people and left here about three years
ago. He was ordinarily a peaceable
citizen, but was prone to give way to
violent fits of passion.

News OF OLD TOWN

Affairs have been pretty lively in
cunning circles on this side of the line
during the past week. As result three
men are incarcerated in the Jail. They
we're arrested by Constable Newsome
and have had their hearings.
Thomas Brockway, one of the trio
tried to raise the roof off the house
occupied by Ida McNeilley. He has a
gun that he had borrowed from saloon
man. The gun was recovered and re-
turned to the owner Brockway was
given 30 days in the county jail and will
De taken to Standpoint as soon as the
constable can leave.
a man giving the name of Tom Riley
also tried to do little shooting and was
grabbed by the constable before he had
wasted all of his ammunition. Riley
was assessed $50 and COSTS He has
waiting for friends to telegraph the
money to pay the fine. but it is thought
that it will be like the letter that meyer
came, and he will also be taken to Sand
point to stay with Sheriff Merritt until
his fine is paid.
Dick Letcher was another bad man
who was mixed up with the police de-
partment during the week. Dick was
given fine of $25 and costs, and has
as yet failed to produce the necessary
coin to regain his liberty.
A. Two young men from Newport, Wash
one of them a business man, were out
for a lark this week also. After they
had finished the rounds oveI here they
proceeded to express their satisfaction
with their departure from Idaho
or their return to Washington
by holding Fourth of July celebration
at the state line. Constable Newsome
happened to be in the neighborhood, as
was also Marshal Kirkpatrick of the
Washington side. They chased the
young men down Pine street and over
to one of the hotels. When searched
their firearms could not be found. The
officers are certain of the identity of the
parties and as soon as either of them
ventures over on to Idaho soil they viii

At the feet of Minnehaha,
Hiawatha wheeled his barrow,


Threw his coat from off his shoulders;
And the maiden looked up at him.
Looked up from her mat of tin cans,
Said with gentle look and accents,
You are welcome, Hiawatha."
Very spacious was the jail-house,
Made of stone ali dressed and whit
ened,
With the gods of all the Washoes,
Drawn and painted on its curtains.
And so tail the doorway, hardly
Hiawatha stopped to enter,
Hardly touched his gun and "billy"
AS he entered at the door way.
Then uprose the Laughing Water,
Full OF gin and China yensee,
Il will follow where You lead nc
And the gallant Hiawatha,
Fondly looked at Laughing Water,
And made answer very gravely:
Yes, if, Minnehaha Wishes
SO he gently wheeled the barrow,
Full OF gin and Laughing Water,
Right up to the heavy jail door
And the lovely Minnehaha,
Looked more lovely as she sat there,
Neither willing nor reluctant
Out upon the floor he dropped her,
Full of gin and China YenSee
And into the cooler lead her,
Turned the key and clanked the Jail
bars
While he softly murmured to her.
Fare thee we'll, O, Minnehaha,"
