OF driving around in very neat light
open cart, or buggy The vehicle is
the handiwOrk OF Mr.. Davis, of the
OrOville Carriage and Hardware COM

The examination of Mayor John E.
Reese. charged with the grave crime of
horse stealing, was held before JUS
tice Hoskyn Wednesday afternoon, at

Washington Machinery and Supply
company, of Spokane, spent last Fri

nected with his house. Years ago Mr..

craft, but finding that slow process
for accommodating worldly goods he
abandoned the stick and rule and
sought other fields of effort. He was
wise In his decision, as he is now get

Walter Byde James, the man who
murdered Constable G. H. Aston, on q
steamboat at Summerland few weeks
ago, was tried last week at Penticton,
found guilty and sentenced to be
hanged At Kamloops August 9. This
dealing out swift justice, as is gen.
orally done in Canadian courts is
somewhat different from the methods
of procedure on this side of the
line where the laws delay has become
scorn and a bywOrd, as 1t permits
people accused OF henious crimes to
die of old age before the final trial is
reached, and the criminal punished
according to his deserts

Thursday last for his new station at

Ferry county. Mr.. Fruit is in the

lOtting Indians on the south half Of
the Colville reservation. His head
quarters have been switched around
from one point to another during the
past two years. Only recently he was
ordered to Okanogan, or that vicinity,
and now he Is transferred to this new
place, the existence Of which was new
er heard of up his way until Mr.. Fruit
sprung the name among his friends.
May he find it a pleasant station, even
If somewhat out of the beaten path of
travel.
The state has agreed to accept town
refunding bonds to the amount of
$500. The bonds have been issued,
and the cash will be forthcoming about
the list OF June. The money so OBJ
tanned will be applied to the redemp-

warrants. This will be relief to
those holding town warrants, for at
present the warrants are practically
unsaleable. With the warrant indebt-
edness removed the council, by eXer-
cising business judgment, care and
economy. can keep the expenses with
in the limits of receipts, and the war
rant will represent some value. A
very pleasant prospect to look for
ward to.
Read the Bargain column. 1t will
pay lou well to do 50.
