HE WAS a POOR MARKsMAN.
WouId-be RObber Fires Three Times
at Man With Policeman Nearby.

New York. Nov 26.-whiIe a police
man stood idly swinging his stick 300
feet away, a would-be assassin fired
three shots early today at Luke Dib-
hey, a piano maker who was hurrying
homeward along an uptown street. Dib-
hey was not hit and he turned coolly
to joint the policeman in pursuing his
fleeing assailant-
After a long chase down dark alleys
and across fences they nabbed young
man who said he was Lawrence Anti
mony. He protested his innocence but
ne was placed under arrest when the
policeman observed that his pocket
held a revolver in which three empty
shells were. Dibbley told the police
that he recognized in Anthony a
chance acquaintance of a few hours be-
fore. He had chatted casually with the
fellow in a downtown dance hall. The
motive for the attack, he thought was
robbery.

the race. We are not hoping for
failures but some are sure to funk

Our report for March is an excel
lent one for this month, which is
usually so broken up by various caus-
es. Our total enrolment Is SOB,
our monthly enrolment an even 400

almost SO per cent for the entire
school. The second and third grades
reached 81 per cent with the eighth
grade almost SO and high school and
mixed grades at 95 per cent. Some
219 did not miss a day and we had
but 85 tardy marks out of a possible
10000, which is a gain in that re-
spect. Thirty-three people have Wis
tied us during the month.
Our athletes expect to go to Cot
tonwood this Friday to participate
in a field and track meet, prepara-
tory to the larger meet at Lewiston
on the 22nd.

MORE NEWS
OF THE MINES
Activity in New and Old Dis
tricts Continues-Re-
port from Hump.

From the Elk City News and other
sources a number of authentic min
ing items are here published:
The town of Elk was practically
deserted by its male inhabitants a
few days of last week following the
news of the rich strike made by York
and King. The new discovery was
made Saturday. To illustrate its
value: Two pieces of ore the size
of a walnut were mortared and pan
ned and a string of colors turned out
that reached clear around a miners
pan. Miners and prospectors are
rushing in from all sides. The South
Fork trail all the way to Grangeville
is said to be lined with newcomers;
two stages left Sites Wednesday
morning with nine passengers; the
driver on the Newsome stage report
ed 20 men stopped at Mud Springs
Tuesday night.
George Jennings of the Jennings
Dredging company, w. G. McNutt,
mining engineer, M. F. Tytler, as
sayer of Elk, and C. F. Smith of the
Anaconda mine have inspected the
strike and report the showing some
thing wonderful. Where the strike
was made the ledge is IA feet wide,
shows much free gold and pans rich
ly all across the vein. They pro-
nounce it to be better than the Har-
mon Morrow strike.

being sunk and a raise made, most
of which is being done by contract.
When the two jobs are done the

F. w. Bradley, of San Francisco,
has secured an option on Harmon &
Morrow's Lone Pine mining property
in the Ten Mile district, the proper
ty with the big gold discovery. The
return of the big San Francisco min
ing man to the district is the best
proof that could be had that he is
satisfied with central Idaho as a
mining region. His option confirms
the theory held by nearly all mining
men. namely, that Bradley personally
was satisfied with the Buster mine
and that suspension of operations or
the property a few months ago was
brought about by others interested
in the syndicate.

PASS SEWER
ORDINANCE
City Fathers Put Measure
Through in Jig Time
Other Council News.

When it comes to doing things the
city council is there, for sure. 1t
really makes no difference how rapid
ly the thing must be done or how
many minute details are to be look
ed after the town fathers are always
equal to the pace. For instance:
At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday night the sewer ordinance
was read, ditto and repeat-which
translated, means that the measure
was given three readings and pass
ed. This ordinance in substance lays
out the sewer districts of the city,
declares the intention of the city to
construct the system, and gives no
ti2e to the people to file protests
if there are to be such-and also to
estimate the cost of the sewer. 1t
must be understood that the pass
vide for the immediate construction
of the system but that it has been
placed on record to acquaint the cit
izens OF the town with the intention
of the council and also to secure
the voice of the people upon the mat
n. Articles relative to the sewer
proposition will be given due public
lty. Sewer talk has been the princi
pal topic of conversation at most o
the council meetings for some month
back and it is deemed advisable tt
bring the proposition up for actor
as soon as possible.

Mullinix, a former resident of this
city, was recently injured in an auto
accident at Walla Walla. The other
occupants of the car were all hurt,

of Mr.. Mullinix's injuries. He was
quite prominent in athletics when he
resided here several years ago.

PLAY WAS
BEST EVER
Local Talent Gave Excellent
Production of "Uncle Eli"
Thursday Night.

1t is the concensus of opinion that
the play. Uncle Eli," as produced
last Thursday evening by local Thes-
plans was one of the best home tai
ent productions ever staged in the
city. The play drew the largest
crowd the new l. o. o. f. Hall has
ever Accommodated, about six hundred
people, and as there has not been a
complaint heard 1t Is evident that the
production gave universal satisfac-
tion. Frequently local talent plays
are not truly realistic and seldom
artistic. and we are made to overlook
this fact though sense of friend
illness and local pride, but in this
case the various characters were ad-
mirably portrayed and the members
of the cast deserving of unstinted
praise.
In the title role l. c. Hattabaugh
was great. as he always is. Uncle
ElP' proved to be a typical country
storekeeper of the middle west var
iety, tender, true, yet excitable and
firm. A correct delineation of the
character demanded an actor of un-
limited ability and resourcefulness
and Mr.. Hattabaugh carried the part
in manner that evoked hearty COM
mendation. Mrs. H. v. Riggs, as
Aunt Hannah" Ellis wife, could not
have been better in her rendition
of this motherly and homelike role.
| She impaired, naturally, to her hear
ers the different emotions of the
character in way that endeared
her throughout the play. AS dor
othy," Miss Harriet Shafer present
ed fine appearance and read her
lines with ease and brilliancy. Allen
Mclean pleased in the part OF
Frank Wheeler" and did what many
consider to be the best work of his
many appearances upon the local
stage. Harvey Barton" the heavy
of the piece, was portrayed by DR.. H..
V. Riggs and the part was given a
thoroughly artistic reading. Miss
Georgia Green was very interesting
in a smart soubrette role and her
work was highly appreciated. AS

FOR BIRDS
Observations on Trips of the
Audubon Society.
THROUGH WOOD AND FIELD
One Hundred and Seven Varieties
Seen Near Washington.
SOME RARE KINDS NOTICED
One Hundred and Four Persons
Take Part in Excursions, Showing
Increased Interest in Study.
SOME RARE KINDS NOTICED

That benisbted individual-the averag e
man-will probably be amazed when told
that there are 107 varieties of birds in
the immediate vicinity of Washington
He will undoubtedly smile in superior
way and demand to be shown. That
mission will be undertaken by the Audo-
bon Society, which has just completed its
annual series of trips of bird observation
and which has classified and listed the 1O7
varieties.
Inasmuch as the aforementioned aver
age man can just barely distinguish be-
tween a sparrow and a robin, and mas
much as it would be absolutely impossible
for him to tell the difference between a
spotted sandpiper and red-shouldered
hawk even il those two birds placidly
perched themselves on his left wrist and
looked shyly up into his face-inasmuch
as these things are true he will probably
lind it far more difficult to believe that
certain members of the society are SO
proficient In bird lore that they were able
to distinguish dozens of varieties of birds
by their songs alone. Yet such are the
facts set forth in the report of the or
paDjzari1n
