W0MAN's DEATH MYSTERY

COEUR DALENE.-Fresh mystery
has developed in the las of Harvey
L. Bleslin, brought back to this city
from South Bend, Wash, Saturday
night.
Bleslin, who vas accused of the alb.
duction of Mrs. w. C. Kirkpatrick and
her child may be called upon to shed
light on an even more startling side
of this strange case. Mrs. Kirkpatrick,
who, it is said, had been living with
Bleslin at Raymond as his wife since
last fall, died about 10 days ago. 1t
is charged death was due to the eff
fects of poison. The officers were
told that she committed suicide, but
citizens of Raymond do not take this
view of the death.

slashings without permission will be
more strictly enforced in the future.

forest fire fighting this year. has been
trying for years to impress upon the
loggers, settlers and all who go into

If the primary election of last Tues
day showed anything at all it was that
the average voter took little interest,
as probably not to exceed 40 per cent
of the entire vote of the State was
cast; that one of the principal results
is to saddle the expense of a double
election on taxpayers who already had
to pay enough.

largely to places having a population
of less than $4,000.
