Town Wins Decision

The Supreme Court of the State of
Washington on Monday handed down
an opinion, in which it sustained the de-
cision of Judge Miller, of Dayton, in the
case of Charles F. Craig versus the
Town of Newport. The case was heard
by Judge Miller last winter, and an ap-
peal being taken, it was considered by
theESupreme Court in July of this year.
This is the famous water warrant
case, which has been in court for five
years. 1t originated from the leasing
of springs from Chas. Carter by the
town council early in 1907. The town
undertook to pay $500 for 99-year
lease on the springs, and, there being
no funds on hand, warrants to that
amount were issued and not paid for
want of funds. In the fall of 1907 suit
was begun by Harry Saddler, then
resident of the town, to enjoin the town
from paying the warrants or making a
levy to raise money for that purpose.
The warrants having been sold to Mr..
Craig, that gentleman brought suit to
compel the town to make levy to take
up the warrants. Judge Miller held
that the lease was void because the
matter had not been submitted to the
voters for approval, and the Supreme
Court sustains him.
Belden & Losey, of Spokane, handled
the matter for Mr.. Craig, and Sidney
w. Rogers, of Newport, and Fred Trum-
bull, of lone, for the town.

Fielder Wins Election Contest

Judge D. H. Carey held a session of
Superior Court Monday, at which the
principle matter of business was the
hearing of the election contest over the
Republican nomination for commissioner
from the First district of Pend Oreille
county.
The non-oficial returns on this office
gave John 7. Rogers, of Scotia, a ma
jority of two over G.. A. Fielder, of
Newport. When the official count was
made by the Board of Canvassers Fled
Ter made gain of one, cutting down
the majority to one.
Owing to the apparent discrepancies
in the returns from Camden precinct,
which gave Rogers nine votes and Fled
Ter two, when only five Republican
votes were registered, and the Board of
Canvassers being powerless to 60 back
of the returns as written in the poll
books, Mr.. Fielder instituted a contest,
and secured an order from the Superior
Court, citing the Board of Canvassers
and the election officers of Camden pre-
cinct into court.
At the hearing on Monday Inspector
Albert Beam and Judges G. B. Ruble
and VIM. Barthel, of Camden precinct,
were placed on the stand, and each tes-
titled that but five Republican votes had
been cast. That voters of other parties
had written in the name of Mr.. Rogers
on their ballots, and that the election
board had counted and returned these
votes for Mr.. Rogers through a misun-
derstanding of the law.
On the showing of these witnesses
the application Of Mr.. Fielder for re-
count of Camden precinct, was granted,
and Auditor Murray was ordered by the
judge to bring the Camden ballots into
court, break the seal on the packages
and recount the vote on the Office of
commissioner.
On the recount it developed that of
five Republican votes Fielder received
two and Rogers three. Six Socialists
had voted for Rogers and their votes
had been counted for him by the board
in making their returns.
| The court ruled that the six Socialist
ballots had been illegally counted for
Rogers, and issued an order requiring
the county auditor to issue certificate
of nomination to Mr.. Fielder.
Sherlock & Sheldon appeared for Mr..
Fielder and Acting Prosecuting Attor-
ney Fred Trumbun for the Board of
Canvassers. It developed that proper
service of the suit had not been made
on Mr.. Rogers. and the costs of the
suit were therefore taxed against Mr..
Fielder.
While Mr.. Rogers was not in the suit
and has an opportunity to reopen the
matter should he so desire, it is not
likely that he will care to do so.

rived on the freight this noon. It con-
slsts of the complete display made at

tunity to see what that section can con.
tribute to the resources of the county.

and from the exhibits some splendid
specimens will be secured to be used in
advertising this section in the east.

BRUTAL MURDER NEAR USK
Body of Joe Mathews Found
Across the River.
Two Young Men Held for Crime

Joe Mathews, who has been employed
at the Joe Black farm about two miles
above Usk, was found murdered about
a half mile southeast of Usk, on the
county road, Wednesday morning, by
C. R. Brott, ferryman, and Charles
Gordon Mr.. Black, having business in
Spokane, went down on the Sudday
afternoon train and Mr.. Mathews &C
companied him as far as the depot at
Usk, returning to the ferry and cross
ing on the 2:15 boat, presumably to re-
turn to the Black farm.
Monday party of men were looking
at the old Ferguson place, now owned
by John Ekstrom, of Spokane, with a
view to purchasing it, and on the way
up to the place they found a Masonic
charm in the roadway. They met L..
F. Hanger coming in the opposite di-
rection, showed him the charm and Mr..
Hanger Immediately recognized it as
belonging to Mr.. Mathews. 1t was
turned over to him to give to Mr..
Mathews.
Upon the return of Mr.. Black from
Spokane it was found that Mr.. Mathews
had not gone into Spokane. After an
hours search Mathews body was found
about 80 feet from the road behind a
burnt log in a clump of bushes lying
face downward, with one hand under
the body. His head was badly battered
in and there appeared to be bullet
hole in the back of his coat.
The sheriff's office at Newport was
at once notified and Deputy Kreiger left
at once for the scene Sheriff Gardiner,
Coroner Hiett and Acting Prosecutor
Fred Trumbull, of lone arrived at Usk
on the afternoon train from the north.
Wednesday afternoon Frank Broad
well and Ed Moray, two young men of
Usk, were placed under arrest, charged
with the crime, strong circumstantial
evidence pointing to their guilt. It is
claimed that they crossed the river on
boat at the time Mathews crossed on
the ferry and were seen returning
shortly after. Other circumstantial
evidence is said to be in the hands of the
authorities, but both stoutly deny their
guilt and claim they can prove an alibi.
Moray was brought to the county
Jail Thursday morning by Deputy Sheriff
Shoemaker, of Cusick, while Broadwel
was taken to the Spokane county jai

N. H. Emery, of Elk, manager of the
Consolidated Lumber Co., was in New
port Tuesday, on his way to Blueslide,
to look after the interests of his COM
pany in that section. While in New
port Mr.. Emery called the attention of
several of our people, who are inter-
ested in the Good Roads movement, to
the fact that there is an effort being
made to detour the state road out of
Spokane, so that the country from
Chatteroy to Newport would be cut out
of the further extension of the road in
this direction. A petition is now before
the Spokane county commissioners in
favor of putting the state road directly
north from Spokane to Deer Park. Mr..
Emery desired to enlist the support of
Pend Oreille county people in getting
the road to come east as far as Dean,
and was assured that our people would
do what they could in the matter.

Penrith Notes

At meeting of Noble Grange, No.
494, P. of H., on Sept. IA, it was de-
cided to buy one acre of land of Paul
Schumacher for hall site, and at the
next meeting, Sept. %, further steps
will be taken towards the erection of a
new hall.
w. L. Richard is now bona ,fide
resident of Pend Oreille county, having
traded his Spokane and Hillyard hold
ings for some land east of Penrith and
city lot in Newport.
Mrs. Bertha Hochtritt and little
daughter Helen were visitors at the
home of w. L. Richard last week. Mr..
H. came up on the Burlington Satur-
day, and after short visit to Newport
taking in the town, all returned to Spo-
kane Sunday over the l. & w. N. at 5
p. m. They were favorably impressed
with Newport, of course; couldn't help
it; and expressed a desire to locate
there.
Mrs. Tarbet and her sister, Mrs.
Rauch, of Pomeroy, departed last week
for two or three days visit in Spokane,
after which Mrs. R. was to go to her
home in Pomeroy and Mrs. T. to visit
her son, Wilbur, in the Nez Perez coun-
try.

Kreiger, accompanied by Coroner Hiett
and Acting Prosecutor Trumbull.
Broadwell was taken to Spokane to pre-
vent any communication between him
and Moray, which it would be impossi-
BILE to prevent in the local jail
At the inquest, held this afternoon, it
was found that Mathews came to his
death from gunshot wounds. One shot,
either from revolver or rifle, entered
his back just below his eftshoulder and
came out in the breast. Another shot
literally tore off the top of his head and
both shots must have been at close
range.
Motive for the crime is hard to figure
out. The body when found had on it
about five dollars in silver and two
watches, indicating that robbery was
not the motive.
The body has been embalmed and is
being held at Usk awaiting instructions
as to disposal. The local Masonic lodge
is in communication with the lodge of
which Mathews was member, located
at Greeley, Iowa. The Iowa lodge has
been asked to locate relatives and wire
instructions for disposal of the body.
Mr.. Mathews, who was highly es-
teemeed, was about so years of age,
and lived until last spring opposite Dali
kena on 40-acre tract, but recently
sold out to Walter Kohn of the same
place. He was sober, quiet and re-
served.
