Perishable Food Tied Up.
Hundreds of cars of pershable
food products were en- route to
Tacoma from California as well
as Yakima but are now complete

by this is question. The rail-
way officials are making every
effort to pun through as much of
the perishable goods as possible,

TAKES UP
FIGHT FOR LIFE IN
HIGH COURT
APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HA-
BEAs CORPUS TO BE ARGUED
IN oLYMPIT TOMORROW.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney A.
o. Burmeister left this afternoon for
Olympia where he will argue
against the write of habeas corpus
applied for in the supreme court by
the attorneys for Charles +. New
comb. condemned slayer of Martin
Kvalshaug.
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
the matter will come up before the
supreme court for final settlement
upon this one point. If the point
brought up by the attorneys for
Newcomb is overruled, they will
take up the matter of preparing
their appeal upon the errors.
The point which will be argued
tomorrow is very technical one
and should the judges see the mat
ter as Newcomb's attorneys do, 1t
would mean that he would be re-
leased from custody and again be q
free man.
The attorneys hold that no law
against murder existed at THE time
the murder of which Newcomb was
found guilty was committed, be-
cause the legislature failed to pass
a saving clause when they, drew up
the new code. This saving clause
the attorneys say, should relate to
specific cases and should not be
general.

giving a series of lectures at the
First Christian church, last night
spoke on Character Building and
Character Reading" and incident
ally gave some chronological read
ings of citizens. Humane Officer
Van Voris was one of the sub

out for bachelor, a philanthro-
pist and a Juvenile worker with
out half trying, just by looking at
the bumps on his head.
Although he wore star as big
as a quart mug, she insisted that
she did not believe he was Pc
liceman in regular service. She
had never seen nor heard of Van
Voris before. She will speak
again at the church tonight.

Shelters to Close.

Shelters to Close.
GREAT FALLS, Mont, Dec. 2.
About so freight trains are
tiled up in Eastern Idaho and
Montana by the switchmen's
strike. Operations at the smelt-
|ers will have to cease unless the
railroads can carry coal and ore
to them.
The situation at Butte is very
serious. All the supplies are
brought into that city from the
Outside. and If the mines and
|smelters are compelled to close,
the people will be in a desperate
condition.
Shelters in Anaconda employ
nearly 5000 men, who will be
made idle within a few hours. In
Great Falls about 5000 men are
idle, as the smelters have shut
down almost entirely.

entirely upon orders from their
leaders.
The freight yards are filled with
cars and some of those nearest
the warehouses are being unload
ed today by carrying the freight
through the intervening cars.
This method cannot be pursued
very long, however, as there are
only a few cars near enough
to the warehouses.

Bank of NeweIIton Elect New Officers.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Bank OF Newellton was held on Tuesday
and the following were elected to consti-
tute the Board of Directors for the ensu-
ing year: DIR. X. b. Mcmillan, +. l..

AdOlph Elgutter, 5. o. Landry and {. l..
Clark. The following officers were also
elected to serve the ensuing year: John
Murdoch, President; F. L. Guthrie, Vice
President, and G. L. Clark, Cashier.
A meeting Of the retiring Board of Di-
rectors was held on January Slst, last,
when a dividend of per cent was de-
clared and $1,000 placed to the surplus
fund
Mr.. Adolph Elgutter the retiring Pres
ident, having located in Baton Rouge,
rendered his resignation. Mr.. Elgutter
made an excellent President and through
his conservative administration the Bank
has enjoyed prosperity and constant in
crease OF business. The new President,
Mr.. Murdoch, has occupied the respon-
sible position before, also during sue
cessful era of the Banks history, and
the Board of Directors displayed the
best judgment in his election to his form
er office.
A better man than Mr.. Guthrie for
Vice President can not be found and his
reelection is happy reflection on the
Boards judgment in selecting the best
business men for direction of affairs of
the Bank
We especially congratulate not only
Mr.. Clark on his promotion to the re-
sponsible position of Cashier but also the
Board of Directors in his election. Mr..
Clark is truly one of Tensas' most de-
serving young men, one who has by un-
firing energy and close attention to bust
ness, forged his way To the front and
won the respect and confidence of his
fellow men. His selection for the posi-
ton of Cashier of the Bank of Newellton
il but just acknowledgement Of merit.
