KINKY PROBLEM FOR THE
RAILROAD COMMISSION

In future sheriffs or their deputies will
be compelled to sit in negro coaches
while accompanied by negro prisoners
they are taking to the penitentiary or
jail Thus says the railroad commission
Some time ago Sheriff w. w. Beard,
of Clay county. was taking a negro pris-
oner to jail. The negro was handcuffed
to the sheriff. Manifestly, when the
sheriff stroIled into the white coach the
negro accompanied him, willy nilly, al
though his instructive knowledge of the
fitness of things told him that he would
be an unwelcome guest. He figured,
however, that the sheriff was the boss
the social as well as the legal arbiter--
and 1t was UP to him to decide all tech
nicalties social and legal. He was oc-
cupying that coach not because he want
ed to; he was not accompanying the
sheriff because he had any distorted
ideas of social equality. Far from IL!
Given his own way he would have gladly
consorted with the mangiest yellow dog
in all creation rather than be bound by
such close ties to that selfsame sheriff
who, with the dignity OF the superior
race, had strolled into the white coach
as a matter of course and sat himself
down with all the dignity of the high
sheriff of the great county OF Clay. The
sheriff knew he was welcome to sit In
the white coach and he assumed that
welcome in one sense, would be welcome
in another in that he was being hurried
to a place where social and class dis
tinctions are a matter of small concern.
When the conductor came along the ne
gro prisoner doomed large. He ordered
the negro to get back where he belonged.
Here was a pretty situation which
brought up a decided conflict OF opinion.
The negro had definite ideas of where he
belonged and the sheriff was equally con-
WINGED of the correctness of his own
views. The negro could not obey two or
ders at one and the same time, and so it
was that, with a sigh of sorrow which
suggested yearning for the companion
ship of his kind, he remained with the
sheriff and contemplated with rueful
countenance the ties that bound him to
the last member of the white race with
whom he cared to ride on a railroad train.
The social atmosphere of the car was
not noticeably improved by the negro'S
presence and the occupants insisted that
the negro must leave Finally sheriff and
negro left the car and went into the ne
gro coach. Legally speaking the sheriff
had no right in the negro coach. but the
negroes did not raise any objection and
| he remained.
Later the matter came up for settlement
before the railroad commission. The opin-
ion of Judge ]. X. Hines was asked for
and he held that the conductor had done
right in that the principle involved carried
out the idea OF the greatest good to the
greatest number, He suggested that from
purely legal standpoint the only thing
to do in future would be to place negro
convicts in sleeping cars as the law did
not prevent them from occupying Pull
mans.

PHYSICIAN SAVED OTHERS
HIMSELF HE COULD NOT SAVE

lly ill., A neglected wound was develop
ing bacilli that were fast tainting the
whole system Nothing but an amputa-
ton OF the mans leg could save his life.
Preparations were made with that minute
care and cleanliness which are really
the basis of modern surgery. The lnstru~
ments were boiled and sterilized. The
wound, the cloths, the absorbent cotton
and even the air were all sprayed with an
toseptics The skilled physician put on hts
rubber gloves. The ether was admins
tered The operation was performed. The
patient rallied and got entirely well.
DR.. Floyd, busy among his other cases,
forgot ali about the matter But few
days ago he noticed a slight fostering on
one of his fingers. At first he thought 1t
was a bone feIon. The Infection spread,
however, alarmingly. Soon he realized
that it was an advanced case of blood
poisoning. The whole scene of the ether
filled room and the patient Of two weeks
before flashed through his mind.
He hurried to Atlanta and sought treat
ment in the Presbyterian hispital. 1t
soon became evident that an operation
was imperative. The physician who had
saved another could not now save him
self. Last Tuesday night the operation
was performed. Dr. Floyd's condition
grew steadily worse until Friday after
noon at $50 O'Clock, he died.
| He was accompanied to Atlanta by his
wife, his brother-in-law, r. T. Campbell,
Glenn Swanson. W. II. vickers. DIR. c. II.
Davenport, and DR.. w. H. Elder, all OF
Fairburn.
DR.. Floyd was one of the most highly
regarded and efficient physicians OF his
community. His death, with its shadow
Of tragedy, has caused universal sorrow.

ASSAULT WITH DEADLY WEAPON
Jury Convicts James Smith, of Elk City,
as Charged by the State.

The case of the State VS.. James
Smith, charged with assaulting Grant
Litchfield with deadly weapon, was
brought to a close today, the case
going to the jury at Ills in the fore
noon. The jury reached final con-
clusion shortly after supper, finding
the defendant guilty as charged in the
complaint.
The trouble seems to have arose
over the construction of bridge on
the land owned by one of the Litch-
field brothers and bad blood was en-
gendered, resulting in the gun play
which was up for consideration in
this case. Judge Steele reserved SEN
tence until Friday.
NJ. Reese Hattabaugh and Attor-
ney Morgan, of Moscow, appeared
for the defense and County Attorney
Gilmore and w. N. Scales for the

Spencer Played Joke on Himself.

Johnson Spencer, the educated
Kamiah Indian, brought suit this term
of court for a divorce from his wife,
sister of James Stuart, of Kooskia.
When he appeared for trial, Spencer
was arrested on a charge of adultery,
and was lodged in Jail. This might
not have been so bad, but it would
seem that Spencer realizes the fact
that the charge can easily be proven
against him, as it is claimed that he
left his wife some three years ago and
took up with another Indian woman,
by who he now has two children;
besides this state of affairs leaves him
little show for divorce. He secured
bond the middle of the week and left
for home.

Record Yield This Year.

Frank Hanley. who resides about
212 miles southeast of town, was in
town Wednesday and reported a
yield of fully 90 bushels to the acre
of fall wheat on his place this year.
The wheat is of the White Oregon
variety and MIR. Hanley says he never
saw finer yield or better quality, the
grain being SO heavy that the header
nets were broken several times while
the grain was being headed.
Several yields have been reported
from this section this year that run
better than fifty bushels per acre, but
Mr.. Hanley's crop has them all beat
and will no doubt be the record crop
on the prairie this season, a fact of
which he can well feel proud.
Since the above was placed in type
we have been informed that Ed.
Stoltz, of Greencreek, has threshed a
trifle over % bushels of White Rus
sian wheat per acre from field of %
acres and the wheat tested 61 pounds
to thea bushel. This is certainly
going some" and it will be pretty
hard for any non-irrigated wheat coun-
try to show up yields that will equal
either of the above. Camas Prairie
certainly is the farmers paradise and
no mistake. Cottonwood Chronicle.

Boise Capital News:
The Northern part of the state
comes in for much praise from Chief
Justice |. n. Sullivan, who together
with officials of the supreme court.
excepting Justice Ailshie, who will
arrive in Boise next Wednesday, re-
turned home last evening from Lew
iston, where the September term of
court was concluded last week.
In speaking of the northern country,
Justice Sullivan said: ''We found
the northern country in very -four
ishing condition, the farmers having
great crops of oats, wheat, barley and
other grain. In the Camas Prairie
country the people have about one
half of the grain threshed, it yielding
from 40 to 20 bushels to the acre.
There is wonderful yield of wheat
and many fields of wheat are yet
standing. To perceive the immense
shocks of grain standing in the fields
it does not seem possible that the
grain could have been grown on the
field, the shocks being close together
and containing large quantities of
grain.
Prosperity on Every Hand.
The country is settling up very
rapidly and the farmers are building
good homes. The city of Lewiston
is in fiourishing condition and the
people all seem to be doing well.
Take the Nez Perce and Camas
Prairie country and | think that they
beat anything that | have ever seen.
1t is wonderful country. The road
passes through seven tunnels with
several loops in the line and climbs
up the mountain across the bridge
over Lawyers canyon, which struct-
ure is 2So odd feet high. The view
is grand, especially from Culdesac to
Craig mountain. The grade is over
5 per cent for a number of miles.
Lawyers canyon is named after one
of the Indian chiefs, the canyon
stretching through the prairie"
Speaking of Grangeville, Justice
Sullivan said that fine new hotel has
been opened to the public and the
officials of the court, together with
loo citizens of Idaho county, enjoyed
very pleasant banquet at that point
during the sojourn in the north.
