THE MoELlER CASE.

The Noeller o6se will probably
come to trial TO-DAY. All witnesses
have been summonded. Sheriff Kelley
went to Grand Forks Saturday with
a summons for DR.. Ingstad, and then
made the trip to Fargo where Palsrud,
the travelling man, was served with
the necessary. Palsrud's testimony
heretofore has been very damaging.
The sheriff last week drove twelve
miles below Schafer in Williams
county to serve a summons on Inga-
Dor Sjelstad, now Mrs. John Peter
son, the chambermaid, who looked
after the room in which Gina Lein
occupied the last day or two of her
life.

Makes Masonic Record.

Harry Morris, the veteran Northern
Pacific conductor, who has been con.
tinuously in the service for 22 years,
and is now in charge Of the Grange
Vile Lewiston passenger train, was
recently initiated into the Mystic
Shrine, and is believed to hold the
northwest record for rapid advance
ment in Masonic work.
Mr.. Morris was made a master
Mason February 81, the degree being
conferred by Nezperce lodge of lewis
ton, and on June 7th was admitted
to the Shrine, having taken the chap
ter and commandery degrees in less
than four months.
The advancement in the regular
and concordant degrees in Masonry
requires the memorizing Of the major
portions of the esoteric ritual in each
degree, and the ease with which the
railroad man mastered his lessons and
prepared himself for further honors
is considered remarkable.

Sheriff's Office Has Bountiful Har-
vest This Week.
ONE BOUND over TODAY
Two More Indians Charged With
Theft Of Horses.

The sherifi-s office has been quite
busy this week and as result of the
work of Sheriff Overman and his
deputies five who are accused of law
breaking have been rounded up
Bert Frye, young man who acts
innocent enough in the presence of the
court but has the venacular of the
genuine crook and has the bearing
and action Of one well dyed in crime,
was picked up at Lewiston upon the
charge Of burglary. He admits hav-
ing broken sad entered the Kopke
drug store at Cottonwood and mer-
camille establishment at Cottonwood.
His hearing was before Judge Vine
yard today who held him to the dis
trict court upon a bond of 81, 900.
He secured close to several hundred
dollars worth Of goods and will no
doubt draw little time in the states
prison where he can reflect. Charles
Lyle Of Sites, who was charged with
the theft Of a sum of money, was ar
raigned in Judge Vineyards court
this afternoon but the court held
there was not sufficient evidence to
hold him and ordered him discharged.
Dick Anderson, who will have COM
pleted his sentence of thirty days for
theft, will be arraigned Saturday upon
the charge Of grand larceny. Two
Indians, Harris Jeboth and Nathan
Lott, are in the jail charged with the
theft of team of horses. Their hear
ing will also be held Saturday. A
young lad by the name of Harold
Wiley, was brought up from Sites
the first Of the week by Deputy
Thompson and he will be taken be-
fore Probate Judge DeHaven to-
morrow and some disposition of him
made. The lad does not seem to be
a bad little fellow at all and it is
said his story is a sad one. He will
perhaps be taken care Of by the
state.

The last week of the June schedule
ushered in some mighty classy ball
playing by the Camas Prairie League
and from present indications it is go
ing to be a scrap for the pennant.
Grangeville defeated Winchester in
II inning game by score Of 6 to 5
and over at Nezperce Cottonwood got
back in her old form and won victory
over the Lewis county aggregation by
score of 5 to 3. At Vollmer the
Reubens team played most excellent
game with Ilo-Vollmer, FINALLY re-
sulting in Reubens winning by a mar
row margin, the score being 3 to 2.
Granseville went up in the air at
Nezperce Friday and lost by score
Of 10 to3
Next Sunday Nezperce will play on
the Grangeville grounds and as the
town has one Of the best teams on the
prairie fast game is looked for. For
the celebration to be held in Grange
vile on July 3, 4 and 5 Reubens,
Nezperce and Ilo- Vollmer will be here.
Last Sundays crowd was the lar
gest ever gathered on the home ground
close to thousand people witnessing
the contests. Winchester came over
on special with 200 rooters and
plenty Of the long green with which to
back their Judgment. The Winches-
ter team is a good one and while
Grangeville won it was only after ele-
ven innings Of closely contested ball
had been played.

Last Sunday the base ball fans were
treated to one of the best exhibitions
