KITCHEN CABINET
GAME IN COURT
Innocent Purchaser of Hurt
Notes Sues SignePs
on Same.

E. A. McCarty commenced an ac-
tion this morning in the district
court against Edward B. Fristad and
Jennie Fristad. The suit is brought
to recover a judgment on a promis-
sorry note for the sum of 800. 1t is
alleged in the complaint that the
hote was executed by the defendants
10. w. H. Hurt, and afterwards as
tigned to the plaintiff. Besides bear
lng the Endorsement of Hurt it also
bears that of A. ]. Horn, now held
n the county Jail at Rathdrum on
he charge of forgery.
There is more or less of an inter-
listing history connected with the
pote as it is one of many executed by
itizens to Hurt and afterwards as
'igned by him to parties who deal in
otes in the city. Hurt and Horn
gere in the city last spring and sum-
per, and while here were engaged
selling county rights for a kitchen
hbinet. They succeeded in selling
number of these county rights, and
here the parties did not have the
honey their notes were taken, and
forwards sold. After the departure
p Hurt from the country those who
ad purchased the county rights as
ertained that the cabinet was COW
red by later patent owned by an
ther company than that represented
" Hurt and Horn, and that their
ghts were worthless. This will
fobably be interposed as a defense
gainst the payment of the note by
e defendants.

CITY ELECTION
CAUSES MIDDLE
Citizens Alone Have Right to Call
Conventions and Name Tickets

The city election will be held on
April 6, and while the time is draw
ing near no caucuses have been held
nor time set for holding conven-
tions at which may be nominated can
didates for the Office of mayor, for
city clerk, who will also be ex-officio
police judge, and a city treasurer. A
notice will be issued Immediately af-
ter the twentieth day of this month
by the mayor and city clerk to the eff
feet that an election will be held
April for the purpose of electing
candidates to the various city Offices,
and in it there will be named the
polling places, but it is understood
that nothing will be contained in 1t
as to the time of holding the primar-
les and the city convention, and as to
the manner of procedure with rela-
ton to them and the citizens in gen
eral seem to be at sea- The city
council at it's last meeting by motion
attempted to fix a time for holding
the caucuses in the different wards.
and directed the mayor and clerk to
issue a call for this evening, which
they did yesterday. According to the
city attorney the council had no right

this character, and in contemplation
of the law it is withiut any effect at
all, and no attention will likely be
paid to it by the citizens, as a COM
pliance would make the procedure
no more legal than caucuses called by
any citizen.
Mayors View of Situation.
Mayor scallon was seen with rela-
ton to the matter this morning and
stated that during the session of the
last council meeting he realized that
this body had no authority under the
law to fix the time for holding the
caucuses, but that the council felt
that a date should be set so that the
citizens and business men might as
semble at the same time in all the
wards and make their nominations
for councilmen. and elect delegates
for the city convention. This was
the method pursued at former cleo
ton and the action was taken by the
council, according to the statement of
the mayor, solely for the. purpose of
assisting the people, and that it was
not its intent to exercise any juris-
diction over the matter under the
law. He stated that he had talked
the matter over with many people
and that he advised them that any
citizen, or political organization could
call the caucuses under the law, and

POWDER MILL
EXPLOSION
Buildings and Employees Blown
to Atoms

WALLACE. Idaho. March 1S.-I
Three employees OF the Occur d'Alene
powder works lost their lives yester-
day afternoon In an explosion which
leveled four frame buildings OF the
plant. wrecked a nth and also the
building used as a concentration by
the Occur d'Alene Concentrating COM
pany. The dead are:
]. Skalberg. foreman; married.
leaves a widow and three children
living in Wallace.
Pete PicO. married. lived near the
powder works.
Alvin Nelson. unmarried, recently
came from Seattle.
J. K. ogilvy. engineer, was severe
ly bruised about the head and neck.
but his injuries are not serious.
The cause of the explosion has not
been ascertained. but It Is believed
by ogilvy to be the result of friction
about a copper screen in the mixing
room, where a quantity of powder
was being made, in which nearly
1900 pounds of nitroglycerine was
used. The force OF the explosion was
augmented by nearly Ave tons OF the
manufactured product stored in one
of the buildings. Seen after having
his wounds dressed in the Wallace
hospital ogilvy said:
OgilVy Tells Of Explosion.
Il was working with the other men
in the mixing room and had just
stepped over to the engine room,
about 25 feet distant, to see to the
fires. Skalberg told me to hurry
back and had not the work of fixing
the fires taken a minute or two long
er than | expected, | would have been
caught in the mixing room with the
rest and undoubtedly killed.
Unless friction about the copper
screen caused a spark to ignite the
powder, know of nothing that could
have caused the explosion.
The sheriff was Immediately noti-
Ned and, accompanied by DR.. Hugh
France, drove TO the scene, about
three and a half miles from Wallace
on the Mullan road in what Is known
as Trowbridge gulch. Many others
went as soon as the news spread. The
grounds were searched for hou be-
fore remnants of human bodies large
enough to be recognized as such were
found.
Find Pair of Torn Feet.
Just before dark one Of the party
found two feet. from which the force
OF the explosion had torn the shoes.
The feet were lying some distance
apart and are not believed TO be part
OF the same body.
While the four buildings used in
making and storing the powder were
completely demolished, the engine
room was merely wrecked and twist
ed on its foundation. The brick
foundation under the boiler was de-
stroyed and the machinery damaged
slightly. This building seems to have
been blown upward. the roof being
torn of.
