MEMORIAL SERVICES
AS SEEN IN COLFAX
Deep Interest Taken in All the
Exercises.
Monday Forenoon Given Over to the
Decoration of Graves Several
Patriotic Addresses Delivered in
Court House. What of Future7

Memorial Day was appropriately OBJ
offices were closed for the day, and all
business houses remained closed from 10
a. N till Q. N. The day was perfect.
Memorial services were held Sunday
morning 10 the New Ridgeway theater,
all denominations in the city joining in
the services Rev. W. T. McGann of the
1 Baptist church preached the Memorial
sermon, and music was furnished by a
quartet composed of Ellis Laird, Walter
Stricken, Dan Welty and Will Smith.
One very sweet piece rendered by them
was Mustered Out" Mrs. George Fl.
Newman presided at the piano.
Monday forenoon was given over to
decoration of graves at the cemetery,
the usual ceremonies being observed
An immense throng gathered there.
Every conveyance in the city was
brought into requisitiOn, the stables be
ing emptied of equines and carriages.
Scores walked to the city Of the dead,
we're placed on graves, tokens Of love for
those departed. 1t is we'll that this
beautiful custom has become general.
Not only the graves of old soldiers but
the graves of all bore evidence of re-
membrance. Flower gardens in and
around COlfax were stripped OF their
wealth Of floral Offering for memorial
services at the cemetery, even florists at
other points sending word that they
were "sold out" This will give some
idea of the lavish display Of flowers used
here Memorial Day.
Around where the Grand Army pFop'e
gathered the ritual was strictly followed,
L'ncoln's Gettysburg address was read
and songs were sung 1t was noticeable
that the ranks OF the Grand Army are
getting thin, the number in attendance
this year being less than ever before.

Statement BY the Defense.

The state having rested its case yes
terday the defense moved for directed
verdict Of not guilty, on the ground that
the state has failed to make out a case
and that the evidence does not prove or
tend to prove any crime.
The court overruled the motion with
out argument, and granted an exception
to defendant.
The defense opened it's case and John
Pattison, attorney for defendant, made
the opening statement, setting forth that
they intended to prove that the defend
ant. in all the transactions leading up
to this charge, was acting in good faith,

program announced was fully carried
Odt. The court room Was decorated
with many American flags, and nearly
every seat was occupied.
Judge Garfield presided, calling the
meeting to order with few appropriate
remarks. He called attention to the fact
that the members of the Grand Army
were last passing away, and an effort
was being made to preserve the patriotic
and hailowed associations connected with
the order by enlisting the Sons and
Daughters Of Veterans that they might
continue the work so long carried on by
the vet erans, and urging all such to joia
at once. There are many sons and
daughters Of veterans throughout the
land They should not be backward in
lending hand to preserve that which
their fathers have carried to this day.
The invocation was pronounced by
Rev John r. Barker.
Then llowed music by male quartet
composed of Z lis Laird, Edwin G. Baird,
Dan Welty and Will Smith.
William A. Inman, veteran of the
civil war. was introduced and delivered a
learned and feeling address.
We have not room to follow Mr.. In
man in his eloquent and patriotic ad-
dress, but his statement that 44,000
Union soldiers we're killed in battle,
40 600 died Of wounds, 10000 pris
oDers of war were taken. OF which 26 600
died in prisons, practically 305, 900 who
lost their lives as the result Of the war
this on the Union side ai0ne-some idea
can be formed Of the magnitude Of the
conflict and Of the terrible loss incurred.
The lesson to be drawn from this should
not 90 unheeded.
Mrs. E. X. Hanna was next called
upon and recited Flowers Never Grow
Old," piece with moral attached,
which was rendered with effect.
Music, by High School Chorus, THE
Old Camp Ground" so pleased the audi
ence that an encore was demanded.
John n Pickrel and Charles l. Cham
berlin delivered interesting addresses,
when, after another song by the male
quartet. the audience Was dismissed by
beuediction by Rev. J. Herbert Bainton

AFFAIRS OF PhLOUSE STATE BANK
ARE AIRED IN The SUPERIOR COURT
H. M. Boone on Witness Stand---Tells of
Life Since Coming to Whitman
County 81 Years Ago.

Safe OF Washington vs. Fl. M. Boone
occupied the attention of the superior
court last Friday. May 27, the usual at
tendance being noticeable.
j. K Mccormack took the witness
stand in the morning and testified most
OF the day for the purpose of introducing
ledger entries, credit slips, deposit slips,
cash entries, etc, all having a bearing
on and leading up to the $4,000 EN-
bezzement charge in the information.
j. j. Herlihy, Charles j Heidenrich, FL
C. Woodward and ". E. Schirmer testi-
fed for the state for the purpose of iden-
tifying and the introduction of notes,
mining stock, ETC., links in the long chain
OF proof, and used by the defendant as
supposedly blind fill in the records OF
the Palouse State Bank, and crediting
the bank for the shortage.
The testimony up to this time appears
to bring out this fact: That the Palouse
state Bank was short $4,000 on its
capital stock, as found by the state bank
examiner, who at once notified Boone to
make good the shortage. Booue Dor
rowed the $4,000 from the Exchange
National Bank of Spokane He gave as
return for the loan four $4,000 notes
signed by r H. Hill and c. n. Oderlin,
which notes we're secured by BoOne's
personal stock in the bank and the $2O,-
600 loan. In payment for the $4,000
loan Boone paid out the funds OF the
bank To keep the credits of the bank
at the proper place Boone gave his per
sOnal notes for accommodation notes,
as follows: H. @. WoOdward's note for
$45OO, A r. McCIaskey's note for $3500
and Nj. H Calef's note for $500, and
stock in the Inland Clay Products Co. to
make up the balance. 1t was under
stood between Boone at the time OF these
loans that they woodward, McClaekey
and CalfD would not have to pay the
notes. Now, when these notes were re,
turned to the makers, stock in the Cop
per Age & Edison Mining Co. were cred
par value $4,000, but practically
worthless at the time, as the evidence
shows. The mining stock was procured
in this way, as the evidence OF W Z
Schirmer reveals. g. Nj. SwartwoOd, or
ganizer Of the bank, formerly owned the
stock IN bis name. In order to hold the
stock W. E. Schirmer allowed him to
place the stock in his name, to be de
livered when SwartwoOd called for it.,
Schirmer assigned the same to bearer,
which turned out to be the Palouse State
Bank. Immediately the bank issued a
certificate of deposit to Schirmer for the
amount Of $4,000, the amount necessary
to complete the entry. When shown the
certificate OF deposit issued to him by
the bank Schirmer showed great sur
prise and said he had never seen the GER
tifcate before.

rangements for the proposed visit of
President-elect Marechal Hermes da

time this fall. The president-elect will
arrive in the United States August )
and tour the eastern states, and If

the show. Not enough rain fell to
make a mark on the rain slate at the
weather office The deluge evaporated
before the weather man could get the
yardstick, so no authentic record can
be kept Of 1t.
On July IA, 1886, Los Angeles had
a real, soaking "a inch falling. On
July 6, 1887, there was another cloud
burst, when .05 inch poured down on
the city. There have been three or
four other showers in July in the last
100 years, but no record is held of any
deaths by drowning.
The weather yesterday is said to
have been caused by a Sonora or
summer storm that is performing just
across the Mexican border line. With
this apology the weather man will be
almost forgiven, although it is impos-
sible to put away resentment entirely.
The official report of the weather
magnates says that at 12 o'clock yes
terday the temperature was so and
the humidity 62. At daylight the tenn
perature was near II and the humidity
Sc. The maximum temperature for
the day was 80.
Resolutions adopted by the Lovely
Los Angeles league discountenance
the desertion of Los Angeles and the
emigra ton to Alaska which was talked
of by some of the village knockers
yesterday. When seen late last even
ing the knockers had decided to in
dorse the resolutions.

SWIMMER DIES AFTER
AN ATTACK Of CRAMPS
Salt Lake EmpIoye Loses Life by
Entering Water While
Overheated

Suffering from a shock, caused by
going into the water in an overheated
condition, Charles Gates, 81 years old,
an employe of the Salt Lake railroad
at Otis station, was taken from q
train yesterday morning and rushed TO
the California hospital. where he died
at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Gates, in company with several .other
employees of the railroad, took swim
in a. creek several miles from Otis
Sunday afternoon. Gates was over
heated at the time, and in a few min
utes after he. had been in the water
he was stricken with cramps and be-
came unconscious. AS he was going
down for the third time he was noticed
by his comrades, who rescued him ana
took him out of the water and onto
the bank of the stream.
Only after considerable time was ne
revived sufficiently to warrant his
being taken to the railroad station
and placed aboard a train for Los
Angeles. He reached here yesterday
morning and was hurried to the Cali
fornia hospital and a fight made for
his life, but without avail. DR.. Guy
Cochran, physician for the Salt Lake,
attended him.
The body was removed to the un-
dertaking parlors of Cunningham &
OConnor after the coroner had been
notified of his death. His relatives
have not been located.

Fine for One Owner

Eleven more violators of the dog
muzzle ordinance appeared in police
court yesterday. A lucky one was B.
NJ. Smith of 314 West Sixtyfirst street
who got off by paying the minimum fine,
81. Smith explained that he had tried
every conceivable means Of keeping
the dog muzzled, but "he always man
aged to work it off. He's got pecu-
liarly shaped head, your honor" he
explained He keeps working the
muzzIe off, Police Judge Chambers
prescribed a harness for the unruly
canine and assessed its owner 81.
G. S. Roach told the court that he
was afraid to tie a dog that would
not keep on muzzle. He confessed
the animal had been muzzled for the
last week and paid a fine Of 81.
Mrs. A. Ishil thought she could let
her own dog play on the front lawn
unmuzzled, but it cost her 81 before
she left the courtroom. Mrs. NJ. p.
King had such a little doggie,' but
it cost her just the same as a big
one"

time during the day they were irri-
tated by the heat. 1t was warm. Only
a few very eccentric persons were to
be seen with skates on.
1t was not only warm. The humid
ity was humiliating. If it was not the
humidity it was something else. Piano
movers and other active citizens COM
planned on every hand of something in
the air that robbed existence of its
charm. Breathing was hard. Most
people, however, breathed the greater
part of the day in spite of the diff
Guilty.
In the morning an amateurish at
tempt at rain was made, but someone
got the hook and threw it into the
storm at the beginning and stopped
