Cameron to Stand Trial In
District Court
FRIENDS FURNISHED $1,000 BAIL
Preliminary Hearing Held In Justice
Wade's Court Wednesday

Frank ]. Allison was given
preliminary hearing Wednesday
afternoon before Justice of Peace
Wade on the charge of having
taken the life of a lumberjack
known as Frank Cameron on the
night of February End at Porthill.
Seven witnesses for the state gave
testimony while the defense rested
its case without introducing any
testimony and asked for dismissal.
Justice Wade decided that the evil
dence introduced warranted bind
ing the prisoner over to the district
court and fixed his bonds at IS, 900.
Bonds have been furnished.
J. c. English, proprietor of the
Porthill Inn by the side of which
the shooting took place, was the
first witness called. He told that
his attention was first called to
Cameron by Allison who said that
Cameron was a jailbird from Sand
point. This conversation was held
about four o'clock Saturday after
noon, the day that Cameron and
Allison arrived at Porthill to go to
work in one of the camps of the
Boomers Ferry Lumber company.
The witness testified that he heard
no shots fired. At the time of the
shooting he was lying down in his
room, He heard commotion in
the office and went out thinking it
was a man by the name of Kinney
causing the disturbance. On the
way out he met his wife who asked
him, Did you hear that shot?"
In the Office some one told him
that a man was shot out there"
The witness told that he went on
out and found a PROSTATE form OF
man lying on his back on the
sidewalk on the west side of the
building. The witness said, i
put my hand on his breast and said
to bystander, He's dead all right
! went back into the hotel and got
my coat and hat and went and got
H. A. French and we came back
together. Allison was sitting on a
table in the office and said to
French, Anything that happened
out there / am responsible for
French asked him if he had a gun
on him and he said Yes. French
said, Will you give it to me?' and
Allison replied, Sure and pulled
the revolver out of his pocket and
handed it to French. English
testified that a part of the head anc
shoulders of Cameron lay on the
snow over the edge of the sidewalk;
that the body lay in a natura
position and that he observed nc
weapon of any kind in the hands
of the deceased. The witness
thought the shooting took place
between $50 and 600 clock Sun
day evening. The witness told o
helping to take the body of Cam
eron to the /. 0. o. +. hall wher,
it was kept until the arrival o
Coroner Knapp. The witness sale
that after the body was taken ava,
Allison told him that, no maj
could get his money without fight
ing for it.
Earnest King, a bartender in tn
employee of English at the Porthil
Inn was the next witness. He toll
that both Cameron and Alliso
seemed to be sober about $50 i
the afternoon; that about 5.4
O'Clock as he was coming into tn
Office from the bar-room in tn
basement he heard a shot fired an

laid down on the counter as he said:
He's out there. You can go and
get him. I'm here and am not
going TO run away. No man can
take my money without fighting
for it, Allison then picked the
gun up and put it in his pocket.
Much of the further testimony OF
King was in corroborance of the
testimony of English. King told
that Billy Leggett, John Fritch,
James Hewett and two strangers
were in the hotel Office at the time
of the shooting. Witness didn't
know who reached the dead body
first. The witness further stated
that about noon Monday-the day
after the shooting-he visited the
room occupied the night before by
Allison and saw where bullet had
been fired through mattress, sheets
and pillow case of the bed in which
Allison had slept. He also saw
large hole in the wall torn by a
bullet. The state called Mrs. J c.
English who corroborated Kings
story of the finding of the bullet
holes in the bed Allison slept in.
H. A. French was called for the
state and gave substantially the
same testimony as preceding wit
nesses. He told that he had
known Allison for several years
and that he bore a good character.
John Fritsch told the same story as
previous witnesses.
James Hewett was called by the
state and told of being with Allison
and Cameron several times during
Sunday afternoon and told of hav-
ing taken several drinks with them.
Hewett told that he came to the
Office of the Porthill Inn in the
evening about 5 O'Clock and that
he proposed buying a drink and
that he and Allison and Cameron
and several others went to the bar
room and had drink. When they
came upstairs again Cameron went
out the door and Allison followed
him. Previous witnesses told that
Allison went out first and that
Cameron followed Allison but
Hewett stuck to his story upon
cross examination. Hewett heard
shot fired and when he was told
that man had been killed he went
outside. The witness said that he
exclaimed to Allison beside the
body of Cameron, Frank, this i:
an awful crime. l am awfully
sorry. Witness said that Allison
said, Il am awful sorry too"
While giving this testimony Hewet
wept. Hewett's testimony con
corning the number of drinks h,
and Allison and Cameron had to
gether was contradictory.
The state recalled H. A. Frencl
to identify the revolver claimed t.
have been used by the defendan
in the shooting of Cameron. Thu
state offered to introduce the re
volver, which was Winchester 80
caliber, as evidence but Withdrew
it upon objection by the defendant
counsel.
Earnest A Moore, undertaken
testified of having cared for tn
body of Cameron. He told tina
5000 was found in Cameron
pockets; that the gunshot wounC
{ was one and one half inches bacl
and one half inch lower than tn
. center of the left eye and that tn
E probing of the wound showed tina
! the bullet lodged two inches bac
and three inches above the RICH
n ear. About the wound were pow
der marks the size of dollar.

Joe Newman Here.

Joe Newman, Smile Man. was with
us again last evening but with his
smile this year Newman carried his
serious side. The while his audience
roared at his inimitable funnyisms,
Joe raised his finger to point the
moral to his tales and senthome his
little lesson on a smile and a laugh.
1t seems that Newman, as he
grows older, grows less inclined to
limit his usefulness to being merely
an apostle of sunshine. He seeks,
and right effectively does he do it,
TO make his entertainments more
worth while His songs are less
frcthy and filled more with sound
sense. but they are us joyous melo-
dies as ever. There are sermons in
his jokes, his playlets and his music
and because you like them so well
you can't get away from them. They
sort of smilingly stay with you and
as you pleasantly recall a catchy re-
frain or well turned bit of wit,
there is your lesson.

sessed of wonderful personal beauty

Discipline on Field

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.--strict discipline
on the base ball field Is one OF the things
President John X Tener OF the National
league will demand OF his umplres. ac-
cording 10 his secretary, David Leroy
Reeves, with whom no has discussed tho
umpire problem.
The only person who can preserve or
der on the ball field is the umpire. Presl-
dent Tener said. and he added. by way
OF emphasis. that in matters of discretion
and Judgment. where the umpire is not
specifically guided by rule. he should be
supreme e.
President Tener's ideas OF what the
ideal arbiter should be was Expressed as
follows:
II think an umpire should be concilia-
tory, but firm: positive. but polite; quick,
but undemonstrative; strict, but reason
able"
Regarding the disclplining OF players,
the new president said he was opposed
to tho practice employed for melting out
punishment to players for offehses COM
mitted on the field.
He said:
zone OF the cardinal principles OF JUS
tice is that every man should have an
opportunity TO bo heard, to present his
side OF the case. II n player Is guilty
OF the charges submitted by the umpire
and has no reasonable defense, tho ends
OF justice and the morals OF discipline
can be served just as well by suspending
the player three or four days after the
violation has occurred and all the evil
dence received and investigated as by
an immediate suspension following the
report OF the arbitrator.
''To my mind the club owner is really
the one who suffers most by a players
suspension. The players absence weak
ems the team and In the end tho club
owner Is the real sufferer.
There is no reason why such cases
should not be considered in the most
lenlent attitude possible and by all means
obtain the facts in the case from both
sidos before. the player is punished by
suspension"
