Mrs. Mallick is in Grangeville,
stopping at the home of Evan
Evans. She is still weak from
the effects Of the beating she
had received on July 2. When
Informed of the death of Mallick,
she broke into tears, but would
make no comment.
The Tribune correspondent had
frequently commented on the
possibility of mob violence in
dealing with Mallick. The FEEL
ing generally against him was so
strong that such an occurrence
as this mornings could not be
looked upon as an unlikely de-
velopment. A matter also that
did nothing to lessen this feeling
against him, was his alleged at
titude of expressing bitter things
against those who had endeavor-
ed to be his wife's friends in her
trouble, and statement was made
that Mallick, after his arrest,
had made repeated threats that
when the law got through with
him, he would take the lives of
several persons against whom he
entertained i'll will.
Mallick was a half-breed In
dian and the son of Peter Mallick,
who many years ago resided in
the Clearwater Station section.
Mrs. Mallick was formerly Jose
phine Gadde, a half-breed Indian
girl, who in childhood came under
the care of Mr.. Gadde, a bachelor
pioneer of Idaho county. Upon
his death she was placed in the
care of Evan Evans. of this city.
She was sent to the Sisters
school at Lewiston, later to the
| Lewiston State Normal, and still
later to Whitman college. Upon
completing her education, she
returned to this section and be-
came the wife of Mallick. Three
children were born to them. On
July 2, after some trouble had
arisen between the couple, and
there was some plan under way
for a separation, Mallick went to
the ranch in an intoxicated con-
dition and in a most brutal man
ner attacked his wife. He re-
peatedly knocked her down, beat
her about the head and kicked
her, causing numerous severe
wounds. It is recited in connet-
ton with the assault that when
the woman lay PROSTATE and felt
she could not survive, she asked
Mallick to get her a glass of
water. He refused. She then
crawled to a vessel of water, Sc
cured a cup and was about to
drink, when he kicked her pros
trate to the ground again. When
he left off the assault it was with
the presumption that she was
dead. 1t was such details as
these relative to the assault that
so embittered the public mlnd'
for Mrs. Mallick had borne tne
reputation of being pure pa
tient and good woman. -Grange-
