JURY COULD
NOT AGREE
Case Of State Against Mrs. Malvina
TempIeman First One in Dis
trict Court This Week
RE-TRIAL OF CASE TUESDAY
Defendant Charged With Exhibiting
Deadly Weapon

The district court resumed jury
trials with the appearance of new
venire of jurymen Monday morn
ing. Many of the jurymen COM
planned that they had not gotten
to their spring work on account of
the backwardness of the season
and Judge Flynn was as lenient
with excuses as he could be and
kept enough jurymen to insure the
trial of the few jury cases that are
left upon the calendar.
The first case to be reached for
trial was that of the state against
Mrs. Malvina Templeman, former
ly Mrs. Mann of lola, who, accord
ing to the complaint of a Mrs.
Clara F. Davidson of Meadow
creek exhibited a deadly weapon
on February 81 in complainant S
presence. The case was on appeal
from probate court. The evidence
indicated that Mrs. Templeman
was Jealous of her husband and
Mrs. Davidson and that on the day
in question she was walking behind
a load of wood on the road, her
husband driving. The Davidsons
caught up with them, and words
passed between the two women
and Mrs. Templeman whipped out
a revolver from her dress. The
defense was that Mrs. Davidson
had slapped Mrs. Templeman
Davidson took the weapon away
from Mrs. Templeman. The jury
stood six for conviction and si2
for acquittal on the first ballot anC
later eight for acquittal and fou
for conviction, at which place they
stood at $50 in the evening a
which time Judge Flynn permittet
the jury to return its verdict o
disagreement.
Another jury was drawn Tues
day and the case retired. TIL
last jury found the defendan
. guilty.

DEATH DELAYS
TRIP HOME
Journeying to Old Country Louis Popp
Loses Wife-Was Imprisoned
By Dayton Flood
DIED EASTER SUNDAY NIGHT
Mrs. Popp Failed to Recover From
Operation in Cincinnati

LOUIS Popp, of Naples, who lett
March to go to Sweden and Ger
many for an extended stay, arrived
home Monday night with story
of flood and disaster. Mrs. Popp
died in Cincinnati on Easter Sun
day and while Mr. Popp was in
Dayton, Ohio, to notify friends of
her demise he was overtaken by
the Dayton flood and held a pris
oner for four days before being
able to return to Cincinnati and
the bier of his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Popp had planned
for trip to Sweden where Mrs.
Pops mother lived at the adj
vanced age of 90 years. 1t was
the intention of the couple to re-
main with the aged lady until the
penalty of life had been paid; to
comfort her last hours with the
presence of the daughter who for
SO many years had been in this
country helping her husband to
carve out competency in the
Idaho forests. Instead Mrs. Popp
herself succumbed. On arrival in
Cincinnati where they stopped to
visit friends, Mrs. Popp was pre-
vailed upon to enter a hospital
there for an operation, which she
had delayed in the hope of seeing
her mother once again. She did
not rally from the operation and
died on the night of Easter Sun
day. The next day Mr. Popp
went to Dayton to notify friends
there of his wife's death and to
make arrangements with them to
attend the funeral. That same
night the food came upon Dayton
which took its heavy toll of life.
Mr.. Popp was stopping with a
friend who lived in a one-story
brick house. About one o'clock
in the morning they heard the
bells of the American Cash Regis
try factory ringing and the whistles
blowing They rushed out of the
house and Mr.. Popp went out up
on the street. All was in commo-
ton.
Il walked across a bridge and
finding it unsafe on the other side
of the bridge l came back again tc

MAY RUN X. V.
RY. TO NELSON
Rumor Has 1t That G. N. Ry. viii Try
Shorter Haul To Canadian
Points
PROMINENT OFFICIALS HERE
Inspection of Entire Route Made
Last Sunday

@'A" "a 49, OAaN - N-~~
presidents, George Emerson gen
eral manager, +. l.. Little, gener-
al superintendent of the telegraph
department, w. D. Scott, western
general manager and L. w.
Bowen, division superintendent,
all of the Great Northern railway
company, arrived in Boomers Ferry
Saturday night in their four spe-
cial cars and Sunday made a trip
of inspection over the Kootenai
Valley railway line from this town
to Wilkes Junction, B. C. and
from there over a leased line to
Kushkanoock on Kootenai lake.
The visit of the above group of
prominent officials of the Great
Northern railway company is caus-
ing considerable speculation in
Boomers Ferry and in railway
circles in this division and it is
generally doped out that the Great
Northern plans to utilize its branch
line, the Kootenai Valley railway
in securing a shorter haul of its
tonnage for Nelson, B. c. and ad-
jacent points. If such a course is
adopted Boomers Ferry will be-
come the terminal on the main line
for one of the most important
branches of the Great Northern
railway and in all probabilities a
daily passenger and freight service
will be put or the Kootenai Valley
line.
Several years ago the Great Nor
thern railway company leased Of
the Canadian Pacific railway com
pany some or 9 miles of track
lying between Wilkes Junction, B
c. and Kushkanoock, B. c
This railway has never been usec
although the Great Northern pays
{ monthly rental for it of some
$3.50.
At the present time all tonnage
for Nelson points is sent from Spo
kane over the Spokane Falls anC
Northern railway, a branch line
Should the Great Northern utiliz'
its leased road it would save itsel
at least 400 miles haul but woult
have to operate ferry boat Oh
' Kootenai lake RUNNING between
Kushkanoock and Nelson. TIL
Canadian Pacific railway now oper
ates ferry boat on the Kootena
lake. The railway leased from
the Canadian Pacific wonld practi
cally have to be rebuilt.
The fact that the Great Northern
railway is losing considerable ton
mage from Nelson points on &C
count of its roundabout haul an
S that it is receiving no returns upo
an expensive lease gives credenc
L to the rumour that it will extern
e the Kootenai Valley railway int
Nelson, B. c. The territory EN-
!. braced by the extended branch
y perhaps the richest in the north
y west and by entering the Nelso
x district the Great Northern woul
q be able to enter into competitio
II with the Canadian Pacific railwa
y for the business of the big mine
II of that district.

The trolley car dropped him within a square of the railway station, on the second floor of which Gantry had his office. The shortest way to the Sierra avenue end of the station building was through the great train shed.
 Halfway up the block-Iong platform BIount met the incoming overland steaming in from the east. At the Sierra avenue crossing the yard crew was cutting of a private car. Blount saw the number on the medallion, ZOOS, and noted half absently the rich window hangings and the polish ed brass platform ratlings.
 A car inspector in greasy overa1ls and jumper was tapping the wheels with his long handled hammer.
 ''Whose car is this?'' asked B1ount.

 Blount turned away, saying some thing which the hammer man mistook for a word of thanks. So the vice president had come, hastening upon the wing of occasions, it seemed, and fin the light of the overheard conversa- tion in the club smoking room it was only too easy to guess his errand in the Sagebrush capital. He had come to make such terms as he could with the man who was going to hold him up.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
BY BLANCHE BEACON
The Shape of the Nose

The characteristic and most char acterfzing feature on the face, is the nose. It is a feature that we seldom think about. We look at a face, and remark the eyes and mouth, but how often do we remark in a pug zled aside to ourselves, "I cannot imagine what spells her facet" Yet, if we only thought to look at the persons nose, and look at it thought fully, we would probably find that it is the disturbing feature.
 Can you remember how, not so long ago, a -'pug" nose, Gas 1t was unpoetica11y termed then, was treat ed with the home remedy of a clothes pin affixed to its tip? Louise Alcott, in her immortal Little Women" tells of the representative Amy, who tried this somewhat heroic treatment Even at that, think would rather try it than undergo one of those so- called operations performed in beauty-parIors to alter the shape of the nose. Injections of para1ne and removals of bone, as performed out side of a regular hospital do not in terest ne-and have a very snub- nose, too.
 A great deal can be done in the cases of young children, to alter a badly-shaped nose. The mother, by massaging it gently and often, can gradually aid it to grow straight and beautiful In the same way, a child with a nervous habit of t'fussing'' with his nose can ruin its shape.
 The ideal nose is the Grecian nose. I have never seen 1t in it's perfection except on the Venus de Milo and some Greek statueS-but 1t comes near to perfection in my illustration to-day. The bridge of this nose forms an almost straight line with the fore head, and in it's delicate, feminine
