NEEDED CORRECTING.

There was bunch of errors in the
report OF the killing of railroad la.
oorer, as published last week. growing
out OF rumors in circulation and the
dlfiiculty of getting a line on the af-
falr AS the story has since been pub
lished in the Conconully Record, it ap-
pears that the man responsible for the
death of the laborer is a railroad con-
tractor named Frank Miller, having a
camp few miles north of Riverside.
While driving from one camp to anoth.
er he missed bottle of whisky from
his wagon, and accused one Dow, or
Dove, of taking it, Words led to an
alteration. Miller struck Dow with
his fist, and not bottle as reported,
knocking him down, and walked away.
Dow died within few minutes, and.
it is said, Miller, having driven to his
camp, did not know of the fatal ending
OF the encounter until the next morn.

was taken to Conconully and placed
under 80, 900 bond.

THE SUNDAY GAM Il.

The game of ball Sunday between
the regular local team and the Horse
Spring coulee club was not much of an
exhibition from scientific point OF
view. The visitors were outclassed,
and from the very start it was evident
they did not have look in. The boys
took their medicine good. d.naturedly,
realizing they were up against a hard
proposition, but just the same they
worked hard to keep down the score
and make a showing. A quiet, clean
and clever players are the boys from
Horse Spring coulee, and they GER
tainly had the sympathy and encour-
agement of the crowd. They succeeded
in getting over three runs, and that is
a better record than was made by the
last two clubs that have met the reg
ulars. The fact is it would be hard
Job for the best amateur team to get
the best of the local regulars as now
constituted, holding up the class of ball
they have been lately playing. Under
the coaching of Manager Ernest Peck,
who is base ball enthusiast, onto
every point of the game, the team is
playing together as no local team ever
played ball before. Such players as
George and Frank Bartell, Powell, Sal
ing, Blackler, Wilson, Hart, Watson,
Mcdaniel, Sexson or Christmas could
hold their own in their individual po.
sitions with any amateur players in the
game. In the last three games oppo'
nents of mines made upof these players
have accumulated only four runs, while
the home team was piling up a shock
ing array of totals. If the boys keeI
together they will be in the profes
sional class by fall. The following is
the score of the Sunday game by in
nings:

POLITICAL DEPRAVITY.

\ young republican, who still has
faith in the progressiveness and prin.
ciples of the republican party, in a
letter to the GAZETTE, asks leading
question, and treats pertinently of the
fraudulent effort of Poindexter and the
Spokesman to use Roosevelt's name
to aid a democrat in his senatorial am
bitions
''What do you think of the PoindeX-
ter Roosevelt fiasco? That attempt to
fool the people should be a fearful
boomerang to Poindexter. 1t was the
most brazen political trick | ever heard
of. 1t was less bold than foolhardy.
A man with common sense would never
| have attempted to deceive in such a
manner. OF course with the help of
the Spokesman, which so far has re-
fused to publish the truth, the scheme
may work in parts of eastern Wash
| ington. The methods of the Spokes-
man make one lose faith in modern
journalism. When big paper will
suppress the facts and .distort truth to
gain its desired object one becomes
frightened at the possibilities for evil
such course opens"
What the editor of this paper thinks
Of the crooked effort of Poindexter and
his chief clacker, the Spokesman, to
bs4ster up the waning cause of man,
VITO by his own actions, proves that he
has never been in accord with the re-
publican party, can be told in few
words. 1t is the most mendacious play
at politics ever pulled off in the state.
Nothing better could be expected of
either party to the game. Poindexter
would stoop to anything to win, and is
unworthy the support of any fair
minded man, be he democrat or repub-
lican. AS to the Spokesman, that pa
per has wrested from the Seattle
Times the leadership in untrustworthi-
ness. Among the residents of Spokane
that paper politically is held to be
wholly without honor 1t has al
ways leaned toward democracy, and
at every opportunity exerts every effort
to bring defeat upon the republican
party. Not particle of confidence can
be placed in its statements upon the
political situation, as shown in the
Poindexter "me and Roosevelt" cpl
sode. 1t supported the silver republi-
can split fifteen years ago, and aided
in the defeat of the republican ticket
in the state. 1t would rejoice with
great rejoicing if it succeeds this fall
in swinging the state into the demo
cratic column. And the pity of it is
that there are hundreds of tried anC
true republicans in Spokane yearning
for an active and outspoken organ, ant
no paper to fill that long felt want

GOOD STAYERS.

Joe Coleman was visitor in town
the latter part of last week, on his way
70 Spokane. Mr.. Coleman can be
rclassed among the pioneers of eastern
Washington. Back in 'S2 he located
at Walla Walla, moving to Sprague in
1854, where he resided for many years.
some ten years ago Mr.. Coleman be-
came interested with Il. w. Brown in
a group of claims in this county a few
miles west, or southwest, of Tonasket,
and the two congenial partners and in
defatlgable workers have stuck close
to the property ever since. Without
the means to make extended explora-
ton these gentlemen have pegged
away to the limit of their resources,
both OF muscle and money, and al
though naturally making slow pro-
gress, have encountered and exposed
some OF the choicest looking ore that
has been found anywhere in this upper
country. This ore runs high in copper,
and were the claims located in more
accessible locality, and in any other
district, investors would be clamoring
TO secure an interest in the property
The boys have always been satisfied
they had holding that under proper
DEVELOPMENT would make mine. Ore
IN abundance has been opened up, and
frequent assays have given returns of
high values. No doubt during the long
years of waiting and continuous labor
they have at times been discouraged in
failure to interest investors, but dis
couragement speedily gave way to the
optimism natural to the prospector
and miner, and now that the railroad
is being constructed within easy reach
of the claims the owners feel that they
will at last be able to realize some
thing for their long waiting. Messrs.
Brown and Coleman have grown old
in the time devoted to prospecting and
working these claims. One should say
grown old as age is measured by years,
but they are still youthful in hope, in
spirit, in the buoyancy that is the elixir
in the air of the mountains of The west.
They surely are convinced that they
have something worth while, or they
would not have given up ten, or more,
years of their life, living almost like
hermits, applying constantly their best
muscular energies, and going the limit
of their means, to extend their re-
searches. If consistency and effort
ever earned reward most assuredly
Messrs. Brown and Coleman are en-
titled to ample recompense for their
tenacity, and the chances for at last
receiving some returns on the invest
ment of time and labor seems better
now than ever before.

as happy as lark, wearing perpet-
ual smile, constantly joshing Corbett,
and patronizingly slapping Jeffries on
the back at the end of each round. He
delares johnson to be a marvel in
his lightning like handling of his
hands and perfect fighting machine
After the sixth round johnson could
have ended the fight at any time, and
from the sixth round it was evident
that johnson was holding off for the
benefit of the moving pictures. When
the end came the negro landed on JEFF
fries wherever and as often as he
pleased. AS to the betting it was but
natural to back Jeffries, for Mr.. Nc
Donnell says every man he met in Reno
before the contest declared it was a
cinch that the white man would win.
This confidence was based on the
wrong dope, and at the close great
gobs of disappointment were distrib-
uted throughout the vast assembly.
Mr.. Johnston says the fight did not
amt ant to much as fistic exhibition.
and makes about the same general re-
port as that of Mr.. Mcdonnell, adding
that he never enjoyed trip so much
in his life, and would not have missed
the excursion for ten times the cost.

ROW AT LOOMS.

A savage row occurred between )
and O'Clock Saturday afternoon, at
Loomis, between two old and we'll
known residents of the town and vicin-
ity, which may yet result seriously to
one of the participants. From what
can be learned of the desperate and un-
fortunate affair the following are the
particulars
p. S. Harris and Pete Flanagan, who
have always been on friendly terms
were at the brewery indulging in the
brown beverage, when, in the course
of conversation, the latter casually
mentioned that he had lost valuable
team from his ranch last summer.
Harris said that he knew where the
horse were, claiming that Cecil Hutch
ings had them hidden away at his
ranch on Ellemeham mountain. Just
at this point Hutchings rode up with
some companions, Harris and Flanagan
being out doors. Flanagan spoke to
Hutchings about the horses Hutch
ings denied any knowledge of the ami
mails and wanted to know who accused
Harris was called up, but denied he
made such statement. 1t is alleged
that Flanagan gave the lie and Harris
attacked with a knife, making a num-
Der of lunges at F'lanagan's who kept
backing away and warding off the
blows. At last the knife cut an ugly
cash in the neck and jaw, from which
the blood spurted. Harris then ran
toward the brewery, Flanagan seizing a
pole, followed. Harris struck his face
against the door, breaking his nose and
at about the same time Flanagan struck
him along side the head, splitting his
ear, breaking the jaw and fracturing
the temporal bone, besides smashing
a set of false teeth. At this stage of
the proceedings the brewery man in
terferred.
Both participals in the mix up are
powerful men, and at the close were in
a shocking condition. Harris head
beaten to pulp, and Flanagan's face
split open, each covered with blood.
Deputy Sheriff Gadbury placed Harris
under arrest and conveyed him to Con-
conully, and Flanagan also went to
Conccnully to have his wound dressed
If no complications arrise the men will
recover, but it was a close call tor both.
Had the knife struck Flanagan an inch
lower down, on the neck, it probably
have killed him. Had the brewery
man not interferred in the h,iadnasS,
of rage Flanagan would have bf aimed
Harris. Even now Harris may not re-
cover, as report reached here Tues
day that he was in precarious con-
dition.

TO PUT IN A PLANER.

John |. Hone, the Havillah saw mill
man. was a visitor in town Monday.
Mr.. Hone has been in the business on
the north half for number OF years,
and is about to expand. He has Or
dered the necessary machinery and
will put in planer and box factory on
the Oroville. .Pateros branch, at some
noint between Oroville and Tonasket.
He would prefer to put in the plant at
Oroville. but is forced to select a po-
sition on the railroad as near as possl-
ble in touch with the timber supply,
and that will probably be at a siding
q few miles south of this place. 1t is
his purpose to supply the country with
finished lumber and fruit growers with
boxes. He realizes that he is starting
in a trifie early, but his object is to
oct foothold in advance of any posi-
ble competitor. When the valley COM

the most successful exposition since
the organization of the association.
The county fair has steadily grown in

come to be looked upon as an institu-
tion representative of the entire coun-
ty. People are taking more interest,
as they should, in the institution and

SUNDAY GAME.

At 2:30 Sunday afternoon the two
local ball clubs will meet on the dia-
mond to try out conclusions, and the
public may expect to see a better game
than any yet played this summer. The
regulars and All Stars have crossed
bats three times this season, and twice
the regulars had narrow escapes from
defeat. Both clubs number among the
personnel good strong players, they
have had more practice, and are in
better form than at any previous meet
ing. 1t is safe to promise game worth
seeing, as both sides will line up their
strongest men, the regulars will dc
their best to retain supremacy, while
the All Stars will strain every nerve to
make a record. The announcement
should draw out the largest crowd that
has attended a game this season.

DEAL OFF.

r. A. McNown, bright and clever
writer who has been filling the position
of editor on the Conconully Record for
the past four months, stopped over in
Oroville last Friday night on his way
to Spokane. Mr.. McNown had made
arrangements to purchase the River
side Argus, and had been promised
very dattering support, but when he
came to look over the field he discov-
cred that considerable friction existed
among those who should be working
shoulder to shoulder in common
cause, and he threw up the deal. A
similar condition prevails in too many
small towns, and until all personal diff
ferences are eradicated and people
elect to pull together such communi-
ties cannot hope to flourish and prosper.

ing, somewhat depleted in purse from
guessing wrong, yet in the most jovial
mood, declaring that the trip alone was
worth far more than the cost, Mr.
Mcdonnell states that from pugilis-
tic point of view the fight was tame
affair. 1t was noticeable that Jetfries,
when he appeared in the ring, was shy
on nerve, although to all appearances
was in prime physical condition. He
looked sour and grouchy, and showed
an unnecessary fastidiousness in refus-
ing to shake hands with the colored
man considering the fact that he evil
IDENTITY had little hope of winning. On
the other hand johnson appeared to be

lions in the county on the 4th. Among
tnose at Conconully were w. E. Moul-
tray and Frank E. Mitchell. Mr.. and
mrs. Mitchell were present during the
1hree days, and enjoyed the proceed
ings every one of the three days. 1t
was probably the most successful pro-

county, both in point of attendance and
unhagging entertainment. Mr.. Mitch

many people from a distance bringing
tents and camping out, and that the
management of the affair was so well
conducted that the crowd was held to-

MAKING a RECORD.

Jas. jackson returned Monday from
Conconully, making the trip for the
purpose of getting Il tract of land he
is interested in adjoining town straight
ened out on the tax rolls. He found
Assessor Kloppenburg and crew of
assistants hard at work on the books,
in an effort to get them into order, and
it is trying and laborious job. Errors
in the rolls in past years have been
permitted to go uncOrrected, and in
some cases decided land has escaped
taxation for years. Mr.. jackson found
the listing of lands north of town had
been all muddled up in former days.
Correcting the lists is what requires 4
large Office force at the present time
Mr. kloppenburg has made the most
careful and painstaking assessor thi,
county has ever had, and when the
books are finally closed they will be
nearer correct than ever before. Al
official who takes pride in his worl
and does it right deserves credit anC
the commendation of the public.

Chas. Gerhardt was visitor in Oro-

of the well-known ancient citizens of
northern Okanogan. From a period
that dates back far into the misty here
tofore until very recent years he lived
on the summit of Palmer mountain,
devoting his time and all he could rake
and scrape together opening up an ore
deposit on groupof claims. He still
has faith in those claims, and hopes
some day to clean up wad therefrom.
For time he conducted restaurant
in Oroville. He now has restaurant
at Tonasket, where he recently put up
neat business block. He is in on the
ground floor at the new town, and
ought to make a big success of his
venture.
