DR.. Wallace, county physician, and
Sheriff Gardiner were called upon Tues
day morning, to take care of a man
who claims to have been thrown from a
Great Northern freight train and who
is suffering from dislocaed right hip.
The man, giving his name as James
Duffy, claims to have boarded freight
train at LaClede, to beat his way to
Spokane; that about 5 o'clock Monday
afternoon he was accosted by man,
who came through the end of the car
and demanded money. On his refusal
the man went away, and returned with
another, and the two of them threw
him out of the car, with the train run
ming about 20 miles an hour, about a
mile west of Penrith.
Duffy was found lying alongside the
track about o'clock in the morning by
two men, strangers giving their names
as Jas. Murphy and Scott Hawes, and
was cared for by them in an abandoned
cabin near the Geaudreau place until
morning. The injured man was brought
to town on No. A Tuesday afternoon,
and taken to the hospital to be treated
as a county charge.
Duffy was not able to describe his
assailants, and as the men did not carry
lanterns, he is uncertain whether they
were trainmen or hoboes.

The state was represented by Prose
cutting Attorney Reading, Fred Trum-
bull, of lone, and Sam H. Cone, OF
Spokane.
Counsel for the defense directed the
attention of the court to the fact that
there were rumors current that dicta-
phone had been connected up with the
interior of the Jail, and that stenog-
raphers had Ibeen employed to make a
record of all conversation that passed
between the prisoners by means OF this
instrument, which is said to be similar
to the one employed by the great De-
tective Burns in the dynamiters' cases.
The defense claimed that the instru-
ment was concealed in the lavatory in
the jury room, and asked the court to
order the sheriff to unlock the lavatory
that they might investigate the same.
The court refused to entertain the
proposition, but permitted them to con-
fer with their prisoners in the judge s
chambers, insuring them privacy.
Whether dictaphone has actually been
employed is still matter of guesswork
on the part of the defense and the gen.
eral public.
Nels Quist, of Cusick, who was ar
rested on Sunday, charged with operat-
ing gambling game in his pool hall,

Gases Set by Judge for Jury Trial

Judge F. K. P. Baske, of Davenport,
presided over session of court Monday,
substituting for Judge Carey, who is
detained at Colville by jury term of
court
The first matter to come before the
court was the Fiedler-Bobier contest
over the election for commissioner for
the First district AS recount of the
ballots was asked for, and Judge Baske
was not able to remain here while the
recount was made, the contest matter
was continued, and will be heard on
Monday, Dec. 2, if Judge Carey can
arrange to be here at that time.
Chester A. Grover appeared to argue
for writ of habeas corpus in behalf of
VIM. H. Hunter, who has been con-
fined in the jail here and at Spokane,
since Sept 20, charged with first degree
assault on the person of VIM. McCulley.
The two men were trackwalkers on the
Great Northern near Camden, and got
mixed up in an affray, in which Hunter
shot McCulley. No preliminary hearing
had been held, and the release Of Hunter
was asked for in the writ. Prosecutor
Reading opposed the granting of the
writ, stating that it had been impos-
sible to hold a preliminary hearing be-
cause the prosecuting witness had been
confined to the hospital until week
since. Judge Baske denied the writ
and Hunter was arraigned before the
court, entering a plea of not guilty.
Frank Broadwell and Ed McRae,
charged with the murder of Joseph M.
Mathews, near Usk, were brought into
court and arraigned. Broadwell was
represented by Guy B. Croft and E. F.
Pardee, of Spokane, and McRae by
George H. Crandell, prosecuting attor-
ney-elect of Spokane county. On ad-
vice of their counsel the prisoners were
mute, and the clerk of the court was
directed to enter plea of not guilty.
They demanded separate trial, which
was granted and Broadwell's case was
set for Dec 9, the first day of the jury
term. McRae's trial will be held di-
rectly following Broadwell's.

SECOND TICKET IN THE RACE
Voters Have Opportunity to Show
Their Preference.
Election Occurs Next Tuesday.

In pursuance of a posted call caucus
was held at the Town Hall Tuesday
evening, at which the following ticket
was placed in nomination for town Of
fees:
For Councilmen-H. G. Murphy, E..
j. Lutz and John McKie.
For Treasurer-Chas. F. Bell.
Charles F. Craig acted as chairman
OF the caucus, and E. Elmer Jones as
secretary. The ticket was christened
the Peoples ticket.
This is the second ticket to be placed
in the field, the other being the Citizens
ticket, placed in nomination on Nov. Is,
as follows:
For Councilmen-Dr. J. w. Tulles, L.
F. Rowell and George Hynes.
For Treasurer-Chas. F. Bell.
The election takes place on Tuesday,
Dec. 3, at the Town Hall, and the polls
will be open from a. m. to 8 o. m.
All voters within the Incorporation who
have registered will be entitled to vote.
There will also be voted upon at the
same time and place the question of
bonding the town in the sum of $500
for the erection of a town hall. The
question of the erection of a town hall
has been the subject of some agitation
during the past year, and for time
there was considerable objection offered
to the proposal, but at the present time
the public seems to take somewhat
different view, and it is uery likely that
the voters will approve the project.
The fact that the town now finds it
necessary to spend several thousand
dollars to build new Jail to fulfill
sanitary requirements, has caused many
of the citizens of the town to favor the
spending few additional thousand dol
lars to put up municipal building that
will combine both Jail and town hall
and answer the needs of the community
for some time to come.
The town has at present no bonded

basis. 1t is in excellent financial condi.
tion to undertake the carrying out OF
some notable public improvements of q

character to match some of the enter
prises of public-spirited citizens, who
have shown their confidence in the
future of the town.
Newport Residence Searched.

Armed with a search warrant and
writ of replevin obtained in Bonner
county, Deputy Sheriff Remus. of Sand
point, and James ]. Davis, assistant
chief special agent for the Great Nor
thern Railway, searched the residence
of VIM. Vane, in Newport, Idaho, on
Monday afternoon and discovered
quantity of shoes, which it is alleged,
are part of freight shipments which
have been missed from the Great Nor
thern. The shoes were taken to Sand
point by the deputy sheriff.
Mr.. Vane is one of the wealthy and
prominent residents of northern Idaho
and pioneer of this section. He was
not at home when the search was made
but returned home on Tuesday morn
ing, having been out on hunting trip.
In an interview with Mr.. Vane at his
home this afternoon the editor of the
MINER was shown large quantities of
merchandise and given an opportunity
to check same with invoices on file from
some of the leading manufacturers of
the country. Mr.. Vane shows that he
has been doing business for years under
the name of the Vane Mercantile
Company, and has invoices covering a
number of years and for goods now in
his possession. Some of the merchan-
disc is still in original packing cases,
showing consignment to the Vane Mer-
camille Company.
AS to the shoes, alleged to have been
stolen goods, Mr.. Vane claims to have
purchased same from a peddler, and
that he is prepared to prove that he
bought the same, as did other residents
of the community from the same man.
Town Clerk Shreve recently sent two
samples Of city water, one taken from
the reservoir and the other from down
town tap, to the State College at Pull
man for analysis. In forwarding a
copy of the report of the analysis,
Elton Fulmer, State Chemist, writes
that he reccomends the water as of ex-
cellent quality. The analysis shows the
water to be free from turbidity, sus-
pended matter and odor, and that it
contains no elements in a stronger de-
gree than permitted by the state stand
ard. A very high recommendation for
Newport's water supply.
