tanned daily by the mere shaking out.

the bags In which the cement is brought
to the isthmus.
This saving is all used in the lock

IN which the cement was shipped. The

cloudburst On The Clearwater.

The Clearwater passenger train
was caught in a cloudburst near
Arrow Junction last Friday and
the engine, tender and baggage
car were derailed. The storm
waters came down Catholic GuIch
about a mile and half below
the junction and the train ran
into the obstruction before it
could be stopped. When it struck
the torrent the engine turned
square across the track and
plunged down the embankment,
the tender and baggage car GO
ing into the ditch. The engineer
and fireman stayed with the en-
gine and escaped unhurt.
Several gravel slides caused by
the storm also obstructed the
track near Juliaetta and delayed
the Spokane train until they
could be cleared away.

HAMILTON FOUND
NOT GUILTY
Iury Returned Verdict in Less
Than Two Hours---Waldrip
Case has Since Been Dismissed
by Prosecution.

The jury in the Hamilton case,
which was tried late last week at
Grangeville, returned a verdict
of not guilty Monday evening
after being out for about two
hours. Hamilton and Elmer
Waldrip, it will be remembered,
were arrested several months
ago on statutory charges and
were brought to Grangeville in
chains. Their arrest caused con-
siderable surprise at the time
and much feeling, both for and
against them, resulted. At the
trial of Hamilton the evidence
offered by the prosecution was
offset by witnesses for the de-
tense and the above verdict re-
suited. The verdict seems to
have been expected by many
who heard the evidence or were
acquainted with the case.
The following men composed
the jury: Jacob Matthiesen,
Otto Gotsinger, AL. Wolf, Michael
Darscheid, Ed. Liston, George
Terhaar, VIM. Butzien, Michael
Hanley, S. ]. Peterson, John
Aichlmayr, VIM. Simon, VIM.
Wagner.
The case against Waldrip has
been set for the 26th but it is be-
lieved it will be dismissed as the
strongest case was said to have
been that against Hamilton.
LATER. The case against Ell
mer Waldrip has been dismissed
on motion of the prosecuting at
toney.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hoene Lose Babe

One of the saddest events we
have had to chronicle for many
months occurred here Tuesday
afternoon when Elenora, the lit
tie daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Hoene, died suddenly from
an attack of congestion of the
brain. The little one took sick
on Monday evening but did not
seem bad. On Tuesday morning
the doctor was called and pre-
scribed for the child which did
not seem to be in danger at that
time. About three O'Clock in
the afternoon the little one sud-
denly got worse and passed
away in a few minutes.
This makes the fourth child
that Mr.. and Mrs. Hoene have
lost within the past lew years
and their aff1iction seems to be
almost more than human hearts
can bear. All have been excep-
tionally bright and lovable and
their loss, one after the other, is
enough to bring despair to the
strongest souls.
The funeral was held yester-
day morning from the local
Catholic church and many friends
of the afflicted parents attended
the sad rites and offered tender
aid and sympathy to the bereav-
ed ones.

Many Fish Destroyed.

George Englehorn and Gene
Smith are in from the Weitus
and report that the fires have de-
stroyed several of their trap
lines and in all probability they
will have to seek new territory.
Mr.. Englehorn says that the for
est fires have destroyed all the
fish in the Weitus river and that
carloads of them can be seen
along the shores, a great many
being speckled trout weighing
from a pound to four pounds
each. Mr.. Englehorn says that
he has tried to catch fish in a
number of places along the stream
since the fire and he failed to see
a sign of one. The Weitus river
was considered one of the finest
fishing streams for trout and sal
mon in the northwest and the
sportsmen feel that some effort
should be made to, restock the
stream as soon as possible. No
one seems to know the exact
cause as it would seem impos-
sible that there would be suffi-
cient heat from the fires on the
banks of the river to kill every
fish in the stream. They also
say that it is a common thing to
see all kinds of game with the
hair and feathers singed from
the body and number of car
casses of deer and birds are to be
found in the field where the for
est fire has passed over. Pierce
