NEW YORK, Oct. ia mailman
enbattled on a. roof of a house In
Brooklyn. armed with stones. held the
police reserves and 200 persons at bay
for two hours this afternoon, and WAS
not captured until after he had near
ly killed Policeman Riedel and had
himself suffered fractured skull.
The man carried stones to the roof
for two hours, and then began pelt-
ing them at persons in the park. Po-
Iiceman Riedel started one OF the lad
ders to the roof. As he reached the
top the lunatic struck him on the
head with an iron bar and threw him
to the ground. twenty-five feet below
Riedel made another attempt and was
again beaten and hustled to the
ground. sustaining a broken arm and
internal injuries. Eight reserves ar
rived on the scene at this tuncture
and made a concerted rush for the
roof The madman's ammunition was
gone. but he had to he so beaten be-
fore he could be captured that his
skull was fractured. He will probably
die.

senses he gave his name as 0ssea

SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC DE.
CLARED HEROINES.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.-Mrs. Her
bert Wadsworth and Miss Mary Car
Isle. daughter of Calderon Carlisle,
according to official reports to Chief
Littman, Of the coast and geodetic
survey, have been heroi1es in the
savings of the lives Of Indians dur
ing terrible smallpox epidemic and
Drawing the terrors of Arctic weather
in the Yukon regions.
Mrs. Wadsworth after her ex-
periences, went to Europe and Miss
Carlisle to Hot Springs Col. These
ladies' accompanied a. government sur
veying party into the frozen wilds of
Alaska on a special permit from the
secretary of war.
The expedition left here last spring.
1t was headed by Thomas Riggs, Jr..
of this city, chairman of the Alaskan
boundary commission, the whole party
being composed of about nifty Ameri-
cans. They were to be assisted by
commissioner Craig, of the Canadian
commission. who had a large party
with him. 1t was only a short time
after the American expedition reached
Rampant House. far north of Dau-
son and above Fort Yukon, that the
epidemic broke out.
When the expedition reached Ram
part House Mr.. Riggs discovered that
the country was IN the throes of u
severe drought; that all of the rivers
were low; that several river steamers
had been wrecked on this account
and that many Of the natives were
sick from smallpox. Instead Of turn
ing back. however. the party decided
to stay and fight the fever and save
as many lives as possible. .A1a

Action for Dissolv-

NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-The plan Of

trust on Saturday night was bitterly
assailed to-day a. y subterfuge which
permits the entire tobacco business
Of the United 6ta&ea to remain In the
hands of the same group Of trust mag
mates who have controlled II here
tofore. Statements to this effsct were
issued by attorneys representing tie
independent tobacco interests after an
all day session. In which they AMI
their clients participated.
1t was definitely announced that
Louis u. Brandeis, Felix H. Levy and
other attorneys will go into the Unit
ed States Circuit Court and Sight to
prevent approval of the reorxanlxa-
uon as provided. One OF the state
ments was issued by Lawyer Levy az
coming from 4 well-known member Of
the cigar manufacturers of America.
The United States Supreme Court
has held that the tobacco combiaa-
ton. be dissolved and competition be
re-created,' the statement asserts.
The present plan OF the American
Tobacco Company conforms to this
order In only an infnitesimA degree.
1t shapes the com bination without
dissolving II and apparently passes
over the recreation OF competition.
which Is the vital point In the entiy q

AN IMPROVED FLUME.

Geo. J. Gardiner has the agency for
steel hume for irrigating purposes.
In appointing Mr.. Gardiner agent the
company manufacturing the same
states that II the orders for the hume
justifies plant will be established at
Oroville to manufacture the goods
near the source Of demand. When you
come to think about it this steel hume
idea is one of the best propositions put
up to the people engaged in growing
fiuit on irrigated land. The ordinary
method Of conveying water on land
is through bitches, and in an arid, or
semi-arid, country the loss of water
which percolates the ground is tre-
mendous. Where wooden boxes are
used leakage is very great, The saw
ing where water is conveyed through
steel would be very considerable in
a season, especially where water is
raised by pumping, while the material
is practically indistructable and there
would be no expense for repairs. If
the first cost is not too great it is not
an unreasonable prediction to say that
the steel fiume will supplant all other
fumes in irrigated districts within a
few years.

Ew NURSERY.

The Wenatchee Valley Nursery has
shown its good faith in this upper
country by purchasing tract OF be-
tween five and six acres Just across
the Okanogan river from the East Oro-
vile Orchard company, where branch
nursery will be started to supply the
growing demand for trees and plants
in this upper country. The Wenatchee
Valley Nursery is an institution that
has built up a reputation in a fruit
growing country that has led to sue
cess and expansion at home, and the
branch at this place will be conducted
along the same plans. 1t is under
ssSod that rne company is very careful
in the selection Of its gratis fruit
gratis and not gratis on the public
from stock that is known to he right,
and up here the, old and reliable trees
in the Smith ranch will be drawn upon
for graft stock. The local nursery will
be in charge of Dooley p. Wheeler. a
gentleman who knows the business
from A to z. Mr.. Wheeler and his
family arrived in Oroville this week
to make their home, and IS soon as
snow is off the ground the making oi
a nursery will commence in earnest.

come an artist in doing rapid change
stunts. 1t is freeze, and thaw, and
snow in regular rotation, and no one
can guess what is coming next, When
this paper went to press last week a
mild breeze was rasping the snow from
the face of the earth. In few hours
a good old fashioned, honest snow storm
was sitting down fresh supply, and a
second installment piled up the i'm
maculate Sunday adding several inches
to the seasons accumulation. The
weather continued on the verge of a
thaw, and signs point to an early re.
moval of the white covering. If there
is any danger of the supply going of

would be wise to invest in an ark OF

A GRAND EVENT.

There are dances and dances, the only
difference being in degree, measured
by surroundings, settings and volume
of attendance. The social dance is the
most common method of amusement in
vogue. They are never out of season,
and those who indulge in the exercise
can extract Joy therefrom in winter,
summer, spring and autumn. The
merry music to start the willing feet
may strike upin the private home or
in the public hall, in the miners cabin
or the princes castle, and the result
ant pleasure to those who participate
in the festivities is the same. 1t is the
universal pastime, common to all coun-

GOOD REPORT.

John E. Reese, one of the Oroville
contingent that has been doing yoe-
man service at Olympia in an effort to
secure the passage of bill through
the legislature for the creation of Cos
grove county, returned home Monday,
and the report that he brings is one
that encourages the hope that the peo-
pie OF the north end will be able to
realize their fond and long deferred
wishes. After the apparent failure to
get the bill before the lower house,
owing to the collapse of the Methow
county bill, the Oroville delegation
turned their attention to the senate.
Much sympathy and support developed
in that body. Senate bill No. 179, pro-
viding for the creation of Cosgrove
county, was introduced and referred to
the committee on counties and county
boundaries. That committee passed
upon the bill and reported it back to
the senate with the recommendation
that it pass. Up to the time Of writ
ing that was the status of the bill.
Mr.. Reese says that when he left the
scene the chances were largely in ia
vor of the passage of the bill, and
word from other sources confirms the
cheering news. After getting through
the senate, if such fortunate result
should transpire, it must 90 20 the
lower house, where it's final fate will
be sealed one way or the other.
Mr.. Reese was called home on some
private business matters, but, if the
bill passes the senate, he expects to
return to Olympia and lend his assist
ance in securing favorable consdera-
tion through the hands OF the mem
bers of the lower branch of the legis-
lature. Mr.. Reese, in conjunction
with his associates, has done admir-
able work in pushing the bill along as
far as it has reached. The committee
has worked in harmony and with a
zeal that entities them to the thanks
Of the community they represent.
Even should they fail there will be no
ground for adverse criticism, for the
delegation has worked every point,
pulled every string, and no one could
have done better, or accomplished
more.
