Sheriffs Abrahams and Shoemaker and
taken to Newport by team, thence to
Spokane, and on Monday morning to
Colville, where he will be kept until
time for trial, as the Pend Oreille county
Jail at Newport does not provide means
for isolating prisoners from each other.
Broadwell is an unmarried man of 80
years. The family is in the restaurant
and hotel business at Usk. McRae is
about 27 years old, and has worked in
the vicinity of Usk the past two years.
The men were arrested on informa-
tions issued by Prosecuting Attorney
Reading, charging them with murder in
the first degree, and warrants were
issued by the local court commissioner.
They will be arraigned before Judge
Carey on November Is, and will likely
be brought to trial during the jury term
to be called for Monday, December 9.
The local authorities have been dill
gent in their investigation of this brutal
murder, and the fact that the men were
re-arrested would indicate that new de-
velopments have strengthened the case
against them. About thirty witnesses
will be subpoenaed for the trial.

HELD ON MURDER CHARGE
Usk Men Re-Arrested for Muir
der of Jos. Matthews.
Are Held In Jail Awaiting Trial

The investigation into the murder OF
Joseph M. Mathews at Usk, on Sept.
%, has resulted in the re-arrest OF
Frank Broadwell and Ed McRae, who
were arrested on the day the crime was
discovered and released on Oct. 3.
The murder was a particularly afro
cious one. Mathews, quiet, unotfend-
ing citizen of about 55 years, was shot
in the head and back and left lying in
the woods adjoining the county road
near the ferry at Usk. The body was
not discovered until three days later.
The first investigation by the authorl-
ties prompted the arrest of Broadwell
and McRae, and they were held in GUS
tody, McRae at Newport and Broadwell
in the Spokane county Jail, until Oct. g.
when. the county being threatened with
habeas corpus proceedings and there
being possibility of an alibi beng
established, the prisoners were released.
Neither Broadwell nor McRae made
any attempt to leave the country, both
returning to Usk. The county COM
missioners, needing the demand of the
public that further efforts be made to
solve the mystery, authorized the sheriff
and prosecuting attorney to proceed
with the investigation. The Spokane
Detective Agency and Merchants Po-
lice were applied to for special man
to work on the case, and an operative
named S. C. Henry has been at work
since Oct. 8, posing in the vicinity OF
Usk as lumberjack in search of en-
ployment. Deputy Sheriff Abrahams,
working as a game warden, was also on
the job, keeping watch of the suspects.
On election day McRae quit his job at
Usk and prepared to leave the country.
His departure was noted and he was
caught at Newport and placed in the
county Jail. His arrest was kept Sc
cret, and the Broadwells were left with
the impression that he had got away to
Montana. On Sunday morning the work
on the case had been completed, ano
Frank .Broadweil was arrested at the
home of his father in, Usk by Deputy

Town Election Next.

In this issue of THR MINER will be
found the call for the town election, to
be held on Tuesday, Dec. 8. Three
councilmen, and town treasurer to
succeed Chas. F. Bell are to be elected.
The councilmen whose terms expire
are H. G. Murphy, DR.. O. c. Nelson
and George Graupner. None of these
gentlemen are desirious of being re-
elected to the council, but it is believed
that if proper pressure is brought to
bear they will yield and make further
sacrifice of their time in the interest of
the town. The present town council
has worked together most harmoniously
and agreeably, and we believe it would
be to the best interests of the commun-
ity if the present membership would
continue.
In addition to the election of town
officers, there will be placed before the
electors the proposal to bond the town
for the sum of $500 for the erection of
new town hall and Jail building on the
site of the present buildings owned by
the town. A new Jail is an absolute
necessity and the council believes it the
part of wisdom to expend few thous-
and dollars more and get hall and Jail
building that will be credit to the
town, and answer it's needs for long
time to come.
In this issue of The MINER will be
found the full text of Ordinance No.
1874, calling for the election on the bonds.
1t should have the careful perusal of all
voters and property owners. THE MINER
is in favor of the Town Hall, as it is in
favor of all needed public improvements,
> and discussion of the merits of the
proposal through the columns of the
paper is invited.

seat of Pend Oreille county, and it will
take more radical change in the de-
velopment of the country and sentiment
of the people than can now be fore
casted to ever get three-ffths vote
against our town.
Following is the manner in which the
Metaline Falls News views the result:
The vote makes plain what seems to
have been rather confused before elec-
tion, l. e., that those towns that are
candidates can hold about SO per cent
of their vote; that they are absolutely
immune to argument, and that they will
vote for their home town regardless Of
other considerations. And as soon as
YOU get out of the immediate precinct,
the vote scatters, though in most cases
the most votes go to the nearest town.
While the News has atall times favored
the candidacy of lone, it has realized
that with half the votes in the county
at Newport and south of Newport, and
the other half split among three candi-
dates, it was next to impossible for any
of these three to obtain majority =
and this in spite of letters from Fanny
to Belle, or in spite of REAL argument.
Abuse, mud throwing, insinuations of
dishonesty and kindred methods get
nothing for the candidate employing
them, save contempt and ridicule.

OFFICIAL CANVASS COMPLETED
No Important Changes From
First Returns.
Commissionership p to be Recounted

The Board of Canvassers, consisting
of G. w. Sutherland, chairman of the
Board of Commissioners, Auditor Muir
ray and Prosecuting Attorney Reading,
met Friday afternoon and completed
the official canvass of votes during the
evening.
No changes of Importance sufficient
to affect the results were discovered,
the tie between Fielder and Bobier for
commissioner of the First district re-
naming unchanged. A full report of
votes cast in the county, by precincts,
on the head of the ticket and all county
officers will be found on another page
of THE MINER. 1t makes an interest
ing compilation, which those interested
in politics will find useful to preserve
for comparison in coming campaigns.
The Fiedler-Bobier tie was decided
by lot on Wednesday morning in the
presence of Auditor Murray. Mr.. Muir
ray had prepared ten capsules, each
containing slip of paper, nine of the
slips being blank and the other having
written on it the words, "You are
Commissioner. Each of the contestants
drew five of the capsules and proceeded
to open them. Fielder was the man to
find the lucky slip.
Previous to deciding the affair by lot
a stipulation had been drawn up and
signed by both gentlemen to the effect
that, regardless of the result, a re-
count of all the ballots on the office
would be asked. Judge Carey, having
been called up on the phone, agreed tt
order recount on such stipulation.
The terms of the stipulation are as
follows:
That, owing to adverse condition:
under which the various election boards
made the count, it was very likely tina
mistakes may have occurred; that there
fore there should be recount; tina
the court may appoint County Clerl
Parks to open and call off the ballots
that two disinterested and qualifie
parties be appointed to keep talley;tha
the count shall pc open and public, a
disputed ballots to be referred to tn

NEWPORT'S MAJORITY GROWS
Official Canvass Completed Fri
day. Makes Majority 36.
Some Comment On the Returns

Newport's majority over all contest
ants in the county seat race is now 80,
according to the official canvass of votes
completed last Friday evening. Errors
in the non-official returns make Cusick
lose in Camden precinct, in Diamond
Lake precinct, loss of 7, and Newport
gains l in Mclaughlin precinct, making
the net gain in majority for Newport
of votes. The official vote by pre-
cincts will be found in the official table
in this issue of THE MINER.
A look at the returns shows that
Newport was not shut out in any pre-
cinct in the county, being the only con-
testant with that record. Leaving out
of consideration the 629 votes cast for
Newport in our home precinct, we fell
short only "a from Cusick's total vote
and only Is from 1one's total.
The strong showing by Newport was
made despite the fact that no bonus of
any description was offered by our town
for the location. Usk offered a site and
cash to the extent of $12, 900; Cusick
offered free site and cheap rent; lone
the last week made an offer of bonus,
property and saving in rent which they
claimed amounted to SAT, 400. None of
these offers were apparently given any
serious consideration by tho voters.
The fact is indisputableithat Newport
was the second choice of large part OF
the voters of the county, and with the
towns in their immediate vicinity out
of the race, Newport's S vote would have
been much larger.
Despite all the rumors thathave beer
given circulation ever since the county
was organized, that the I. & w. N. In
terests would take hand in the fight
to move the county seat, the Blackwell
people steadfastly kept out of the fight
although importuned times without
number to come to the aid of one or the
other of the three contesting towns
Newport asked no favors from the l. {
w. N, except non-interference, anc
such was the policy of the road al
through the fight.
Newport is the permanent count.

''6O6" TREATMENT
 IS UNDER FIRE
SUIT AGAINST OR- ]. F. RoWL AND
 IN CIRCUIT COURT BRING ' OUT OPINIONS.
Jury Returns Verdict in Favor Of Dr. Rowland, and Throwing Out
 the Complaint Of the Plaintiff.

Various opinions as to the virtues and the danger involved in the fa nous "606' treatment were adduced in trial on in the circuit court yes. terday. wherein Dr. j. r. Rowland of this city is defendant in $5,O00 damage suit, the plaintiff being the next of kin to Claire Barnett, an II year old girl.
 After all the evidence had been pgs- sented the jury returned a verdict in favor of Dr. Rowalnd, which annuls the complaint of the plaintiff,
 It is set up in the complaint that the child was partially deaf or at least her hearing was deficient last year when she was taken to Dr. J. r. Rowland for treatment and if Is charged that she was given the fq- nous "6069 prescription.
 The little girl was in court yester. day during the progress of the trial, and it is claimed that not alone was there an abcess following the treat. ment,. but that the condition of the child's hearing is worse than be. fore.
 The question of the child's general condition came into the case, and 1t was the contention of the defendants 8 counsel that the child had gained about p pounds in weight, and was in much better general health than before.
 Under the law quoted at the hear ing a physician is not privileged to go beyond the general practice, un- less at his own hazard, and that if Ae does, he is liable for results. Other physicians called to the stand as ex. per,s in the matter of physician g treatments and customs. were asked:
 Is it common practice to admin ister the 606 treatment for deafness particularly in child of II years oi age?
 The question was the signal foi much argument before the court az to it's ineompetency, and because 0 the many objections that were mad and argued in the court room th 1 progress af the case was very slow Attorneys Mcconnell and Leslie rep resented Dr. Rowland and James l. Graham represented the plaintiff.

HALE JURY Is
 YET UNDECIDED
MANY IMPROVEMENTS IN CASE WHEREIN THE TELEPHONE
 COMPANY IS DEFENDANT.
Judge Gotham Is Using Another Jury and Is Giving the Hale Jury Ample
 Time to Reach a Conclusion.

The jury in the circuit court hay. ing under advisement the case where. in Harry Hale is plaintiff and the Southwestern Telephone company is defendants, and where the 'Slm of S6S,000 i'll penalties is involved, Is still unable to reach verdict
 All day yesterday the jury wrestled with the problem, and at the conclu- sion of court last night were given another night to sleep over the case They will report to Judge Gotham this morning at 8 o'clock. Yesterday Judge Gotham sent out for new special jury panel to proceed with other cases, so he might be able td give the Hale jury ample time Go consider the whole of very tedious and very entangled question of law
 Seldom is 1t that there are so many questions of fine technicality inyoi yed as in this Hale action, ana cer- tainly there is much of precedent hinged upon the case The question of the credit of Hale, which the com. pany took as it's defense, for instance, is one of two sides. for It is stated that while the company claimed II refused Hale credit at his home phone. still it was set up that Hale had received and enjoyed credit a' his business phone, which is credit distinction worthy of some study
 The case has aroused great deal Of local interest. The penalty of sl00 per day for discrimination is where the suit runs into such large figures. and 1t Is agreed that the jury has not the power of regulating the penalty. and that if it's verdict Is for the plaintiff the law makes the pen slty what is stated, or the full of the sgs .00O.
