Suddenly a dull explosion sounded
from the bowels Of the big fighting
ship. A minute later came another,
and then another, the last being Of
considerable force. Then shrill order
to abandon ship was heard, and stimuli
taneously the harbor was shaken with
most terrific explosion. This broke
giant craft loose from their anchor
age, and shattered windows in the
sleeping town beyond. From stem to
stern the Liberte seemed to leap into
flame, and then the forward part of
the great ship twisted over. The
twisted and torn wreckage sank into
the turgid waters of the harbor.
Scores of bodies were hurled high
in the air and fell into the water,
Seamen, obeying the word to abandon
ship, had jumped overheard as the
fire reached the explosives in the mag
azines. Some of these were picked up
by the boats and launches from the
other warships which had hurried to
the scene, while others sank before
assistance reached them.
Within short time all of the sur
viyors had been rescued and were
taken on board the flagship of the fleet
where they We're interviewed by the
admiral commanding. Orders were
also issued for the formation of a
general court of inquiry which will ex-
anime the survivors and place the re-
sponsibility for the disaster.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE I'M
PROVING.

Elmer Rouse, a Craig mountain
rancher, living in the vicinity of
Keuterville, was brought to
Grangeville last Saturday suffer
ing from wounds in the neck in
flicted in an attempt at self de-
struction. The wounds which
were made from either side of
the throat, exposing the windpipe
and jugular vein, were dressed by
DR.. Slusser, and the patient is
now resting as well as could be
expected under such conditions,
at the Revers House, with hope
full indications of ultimate recov-
cry.
Rouse left his home on Craig
mountain last Wednesday and an
nounced at the Williams sawmill
that he was going to visit the
Benton ranch on the mountains.
He went about a mile from the
mill and there entered a clump
Of brush and with his pocket
knife cut his throat. He was
not found until Friday, when his
son organized searching party
and went to look for him. When
discovered he was in a weak and
exhausted condition, and was at
once brought to Grangeville for
I treatment.
Mrs. Rouse and one son who
reside at Toppenish, Wash, were
notified of the attempted suicide
and at once started for this place
where they arrived Monday night
Rouse has refused to give his rea
son for attempting his own life.

Portland Capitalists Who are
Railroad Promoters Buy

Last week A. Welsch and r.
b. Montague, Portland capital
ists,purchased the Lolo creek elec-
trio power and light plant of Y.
A. johnson, of Nezperce, presi-
dent of the Nezperce railroad, in
volving an investment of $4,000.
Messers. Welch and Montague
are electric railway promoters
who have been trying for the past
year or more to get into central
Idaho, but were turned down at
Lewiston.
Mr.. Welch is the well known
electric line between Portland and
who has achieved such pronounc-
ed success in the vicinity of Port
land. He constructed the Oregon
electric between Portland and
Salem, which was later taken
over by the Hill interests. He
has installed and operated cleo
trio and gas plants at Portland,
Vancouver and other points and
has attained the greatest success
in all undertakings.
1t is understood the plans for
the central Idaho field provide
for a material enlargement of
operations until the electric SER
vice lines are extended to pract-
ically every point where mar
ket is afforded.
The Lolo power plant was in
stalled several years ago by Mr..
johnson and is equipped with
machinery to develop 250-horse-
power. The transmission lines
are IL miles in length and the
Nezperce system is most complete
serving both the business and
residence sections. The poles
are now distributed for the ex
tension of the transmission lines

WILL BUY FOREST SEEDS.

The department of agriculture
has notified the national forest
supervisors that they are expect
ed to buy for that department
this fall large quantities of seeds
of the western white pine (Pinus
monticola), and smaller quani-
ties of the Douglas fir (Pseudot-
sugo taxifolia), to be used for re-
forestry purposes in this district.
The amounts will probably be ten
thousand pounds of the former
and three thousand of the latter,
for which from 75c to $l00 per
pound will probably be paid, the
exact price not having been made
This should furnish lucretive en-
ployment for a number of idle
hands in this section, if there are
persons who understand how to
go about the work.

tied conditions prevailing among
the players of two or more of the
teams, it was decided best to sus-
pend Art. II for two weeks in
favor of Ilo-Vollmer, Winches-
ter, Reubens and Grangeville, Civ
ing them the privilege of
strengthening up their playing
forces. Ilo-Vollmer has released
a number of their players since
the Fourth, and they desire to
bring in a number of new ones !;
Winchester needs a new pitcher
to help out Turnbull, who is now
on the hospital list; Reubens is
going to have to let white go for
awhile and will have to supply
his place at least temporarily ;
while Grangeville is forced to
make some changes by the retire
ment of Captain Boss Brown, and
for other reasons thought best by
the management.

The view is held at Nez Perce
that as soon as the work can be
carried forward, the entire CEN

by the Welch interests and that
lower rates for light and power
will prevail.

BASE BALL BONNER
MARRIED.

AL. Bonner, the lanky twirler
fl ON Lewiston who pitched for
Grangeville three years ago, and
is now making good with the
Spokane Indians, was united in
the holy bonds of wedlock last
week, the young lady who has
undertaken to guide the destin-
les of the young slab artist being
Miss Christine Hudson, of the
Falls City. Bonner, who had
been meeting with pitching re-
verses for sometime, turned right
around the day after the wife got
hold of him and pitched a shut
out game against the visiting
team-getting the right kind of
a better half has been the making
of many man with more kinks
in him than Bonner.

FOREST FORCE
IS NOW ACTIVE
Some Sixty Men to Build
Trails, Fight Fires and Ex-
tend Telephones.

Supervisor George V. Ring
of the Nezperce National Forest
has been busy man for the past
two weeks or more, getting things
shaped up for the summers cam
paign in the national forest.
When things get to working right
he will have between fifty and
sixty men employed within his
territory in various capacities,and
all of them will be working to
one end, the betterment of con-
ditions in Uncle Sam 8 domain.
There may be some things which
are not just right on the forest,
some persons may suffer incon-
veniences from the enforcement
of the rules and regulations gov
erning the same and from over
zealousness on the part of too am
bilious employees, but the person
who shuts his eyes to the great
good which is being brought
about through this one agency of
the government, and sits down
and profanely cusses the whole
system, is certainly blindly pre-
JUDGED and is disqualified for
Jury duty.
About twenty forest guards
outfitted and pulled out from
here on July 5th to engage in the
construction of trails and tele-
phone lines on the reserve, under
the direct supervision Of the dis
trict forest rangers to whom they
are to report. To this force will
be added fifteen more forest
guards within the next few days.
These are nearly all local men
who have sought and found en-
ployment in Uncle Sam e service
because they preferred it to other
offered means of earning a live
lihood. These forest guards are
employed for fire patrol when
weather conditions require it, but
at all other times will be used in
the construction of trails and
phone lines. 1t is hoped, and re-
ally anticipated from present
favorable conditions, that this
season will be largely exempt
from devastating fires, and if so
the present plans of constructing
10 miles of new trail and so mil
es of new phone lines will be car
ried out during the next three
months.
Eleven men left here July 7th
on general Improvement work
with the forest service pack train
loaded with supplies, in charge of
Forest Ranger James Rice with
Harry Markham as cook. This
crew will begin work at once un-
der Foreman Henry Goodwin
about 35 miles east of Elk City,
and it is expected will make a
good report at the end of the sea-
son.
Major Frank Fem, supervisor
of the Clearwater Forest reserve,
has also sent out a force of be-
tween fifty and sixty men from
Kooskia, and will construct a
trail up the Selwai to the divide
at Lost Horse pass, there to con-
meet with the trail that leads to
Hamilton Montana a distance
of 100 miles from Kooskia. This
is said to be a shorter route than
the Lolo trail. The telephone line
being constructed will lack some
twenty-five miles of connecting
this season with the Montana lin
es at Lolo Hot Springs, and that
much of the work will have to be

The game Sunday between Win
chester and Nezperce was nip and
tuck up to the eighth inning, the
score standing 3 to 5 in favor of
the firearms bunch; but at that
stage of the game Turnbull was
forced to retire from over work,
Genger taking the box. Then
things broke loose, and during the
next two innings the government
wards went on the warpath and
slaughtered the mill hands at the
rate of ten scores to the innings.
The conditions, it is said, were
really panicky for time at the
mill town, but it is to be hoped
things will drop back to normal
before the week has passed
around again and the team has
to get into another game.
no-Vollmer, 14-Cottonwood, IL.
The game at Cottonwood be-
tween Ilo-Vollmer and the home
team, was not a league game
owing to the fact that the visit
ars could not muster enough of
their regular players after the
events of the Fourth to put up
a proper fight, and they forfeit
ed the count toward the pennant
to their more fortunate opponents
and collected enough outside play
ers to give an exhibition game,
which they won by the above
score. Hollenstein and Dorsett
did team duty for Ilo-Vollmer
and Rustemeyer, Hill and Parsons
represented for Cottonwood.
Meeting of League Managers.
On Tuesday of this week the
representatives of the six Prairie
teams held a meeting at Ilo-Vol-
liner, at which were present L.
II. Housch, the new manager for
Cottonwood; Perry Miller for
Nezperce; S. A. Harris, the new
Winchester manager; Roy Lus-
comb for Ilo-Vollmer; DR. Gaig-
nard for Reubens and Don Fisher
as representative for Grangeville.
The resignation of DR.. Slusser,
of Grangeville, as president
of the league was presented
and accepted, and DIR. Gaignard,
vice-president assumed the leader
ship.
Full settlement with the umpir-
es within a few dollars, was made
and in the matter of assigning
work for the umpires in the fut-
ure, it was left in the hands of
President Gaignard to place theEl
where his judgment dictated il

Next Sundays Games.
Grangeville at Ilo-Vollmer.
Reubens at Nez Perez.
Cottonwood at Winchester.
Once more Grangeville has tast-
ed victory, and now has the blood
craze. All ambitious league as
pirants want to keep their wealth
er eye peeled from now on to the
end of the pennant race, or they
will get swatted hard by the tail
enders.
In last Sundays contest with
the Reubenites, the local boys
whipped up considerably and nos
ed out a victory in the ninth in
ming by score of 9 to 8. Strange
things happen in baseball, as was
shown in the way the locals land
ed on White, the Indian pitcher
for Reubens, who has heretofore
been somewhat of a puzzle to
them. They hit him at will, TAX
ing six scores from him in the
first three heats.
Grangeville's pitching fratern-
ity was in bad repair, not one of
the boys being in shape to do eff
fective work. Carr, who went in
the box first, had an ankle out of
joint and one whole side plastered
over, and after two innings call
ed Boss Brown to relieve him.
Boss, protested but went on duty,
pitching good ball for several in
nings, but finding that he could
not make his sore fin work any
longer, had to turn the sphere
back to Carr again, and he did
duty to the close. Clyde Moses
was clear out of the running,
Carr had to have Myers run for
him all through the game.
One of the nifty, inspiring
plays made during the game was
the double from Brown to Ingram
to Jarvis, in which the machin-
cry moved with such rapidity and
precision that the batter was
fifteen feet from first when Jar
Wis inclosed the sphere in his
fatherly mitt, as it sped from Ing
ram at second. Carr's three bag
ger into deep center, outdistanced
either of the over the fence home
runs made by White and Curry,
but did not count for as much,
while Wolf, Weider and Clyde
Moses for the home team and
White and Curry for the visitors
got in two baggers that did good
work. Following is the tabulated
