He turned abruptly and left her. In
a moment Bivens came out and led
his wife to q seat which had been re-
served near his.
One of the things which had iYcreas-
ed Bivens' nervousness was the fact
that the judge ignored his presence In
the courtroom. He had been accus-

Judge was q man with red blood in
his veins, a man Of intense personal
likes and dislikes and fearless dis
penser of what he believed to be even
handed justice under the law.
The young lawyer sat In silence be-

placed last. Az the moment drew near

swept his heart. He walked from his

Strange Little Worlds Arc the South
Pacific Ocean Steamers.

In the morning (how strange at sea)

lamb and by lusty cockcrow. The
Royal Mail steamers of the west coast
are a strange little world. Built for an
ocean where storms are unknown,
they combine certain comforts not to
be found on much more pretentious
boats.
Their saloons and cabins are exeep-
tlonally large and open directly upon
the promenade decks that stretch the
entire length of the ship, there being,
properly speaking, no steerage and no
second class. The natives and others
who cannot afford the first class ticket

and the like and partly with chickens,

decks stand your beef and mutton on
the hoof, gazing mournfully up at you
as you look down the hatchways.
Upon this homelike boat, quiet and

Proposed CanleFy at Peck.

About twenty farmers from
the surrounding territory met at
Peck, Idaho, this week and
formed an organization the pur-
pose Of which is to promote a
cannery at that place, 1t is not
the intention of the farmers to
take cooperative action, but they
will endeavor to interest private
capital in building a cannery.
All the farmers who took part in
the meeting signed an agree
ment to give their aid to any re-
liable man or concern that would
become interested in the propo-
sition and to pledge acreage for
growing products for a cannery.
1t is we'll known that the Peck
section produces the finest toma-
toes to be found anywhere as
we'll as an abundance of all other
products used by a cannery.
AS the country produces many
carloads of fine beans each year
a cannery could run on pork and
beans after the close of the fruit
and vegetable season.

Fearful Loss Of Life at

THOUSANDS KNOWN dead
Indiana Also Suffers from Effect of
Big Storm.

One of the most destructive
storms ever known, swept over
central Ohio and Indiana, Mon
day and Tuesday, and the loss of
life will run into the thousands.
At Dayton, Ohio, which is sit
uated at the junction of three
streams of the Mama river, the
loss of life was between $500
and 5000. A wall of water three
miles wide and from 8 to 20 feet
deep swept through the city
carrying everything before it.
At the height of the flood, fire
broke out, and having no means
fight it, the city is doomed to
destruction.
Columbus, Hamilton and other
cities in Ohio suffered heavy
losses.
At Lima, Ohio, there are 10
miles Of delayed trains.
In Indiana, the loss of life is
heavy. At Peru, 200 are known
to be killed, and Indianapolis,
Terre Haute, and several other
cities report heavy losses.
All telegraph lines are down
and no authentic news can be
had.
The railroads are completely
