Murder Near Springdale

The body of Lewis e. Nelson, who
was found dead in his cabin Tues
day with a gunshot wound in his
throat, was brought here Wednesday
evening and placed in the Prindle
undertaking parlors.
Sheriff Miller, Prosecuting Attor-
Springdale yesterday making an in
vestigation of the affair, but failed
to find any clue which would lead to
the unearthing of the dastardly mur-
derer. All evidence points to first
degree manslaughter, as the officials
above referred to deduced from the
Indications, such as the position of
the body and location of the wound.
The motive might have been rob-
berry, for it was found that an axe
had been used to chop open trunk,
the contents of which were in great
disorder when the officials arrived on
the scene.
The murder occurred Monday even
ing, but it was not till Tuesday noon
that it was discovered, when two
young boys paid Nelson a visit to
inform him that his pigs were at
large.
They found Nelson's team standing
with their harness on, and their
brides off, where he had left them
tied the evening before.
Efforts will lie made to locate the
criminal and the sheriff's Office will
be entitled to great credit should the
officers find him.
Nelson was living on a tract of
land located four miles from Spring
dale, on the Loon Lake road.

Tuesday evening Mayor Sax presided.
City Clerk Sansburn was absent
and City Attorney Jackson officiated
as both clerk and attorney. Council
men Burk, Prindle, Graham and
Denny were present.

F. c. Rumsey to build porch and a
chicken house and make other minor
improvements on his property in
block 80, Meyers addition.
All audited bills against the city
were allowed without debate.
Councilman Denny called attention
to the fact that the sidewalk on
north Main street needed attention
and that the sidewalks near the
"brick" school house should be look
ed after before school opens. This
matter was referred to the proper
committee.
Complaint was made about the un-
evenness of certain recently-con-
structed sidewalks on Elm street.
The matter of the checking up of
the city books by a state official now
here came up for consideration. The
city clerk was instructed to notify
the state official that the city would
not pay him cent for the work.
The council agreed to meet at 8
O'Clock Wednesday morning and take
jaunt about town and investigate
what rights the city has in the street
intersection at Fourth and Fifth ave-
nues and Washington street, and see
about the assessing of costs to prop
erty owners affected by the north
Main street improvements.
1t appearing to the council that
Mrs. Surrig (now Mrs. Garrish)
wants official recognition of certain
improvements made in the block
where she lives, the city clerk was
instructed to advise the lady that the
improvements had been executed in
accordance with plans and specifica-
tions drawn up by the city engineer.

Located in Oregon

Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Barrick re-
Gently left Colville and went to New
burg, Oregon, where they expect to
make their home. Mr.. Barrick, while
looking for something better and not
caring to be idle, went to work In
sewer ditch being constructed in that
city. The ditch had been dug to
depth of eight feet. Mr.. Barrick was
down in the ditch. One of the work.
men on the surface asked him to hand
up the bucket of drinking water.
When he attempted to do so, the
sides of the sewer caved in, burying
him under several tons of earth.
The alarm was given, and the work
men proceeded at once with great
speed to dig out Mr.. Barrick. He
was rescued, but the shock had been
terrific. He was given medical at
tention, but is reported to be still
feeble.
