HOLD-UP KILLS
SECTION MAN
Armenian Victim Of Wednesday Night
Robbery Dies Yesterday Afternoon
Soon After Operation
FIND NO CLUES OF The MURDERER
All Suspicious Characters Are Being
Rounded Up

Citroc Oharmesis, an Armenian
employed here by the Great North
ern railway as a section hand =,
died yesterday afternoon in the
Bonners Ferry hospital from the
effects of gunshot wound in his
stomach inflicted by an unknown
party who held him up in the
Great Northern yards Wednesday
night.
The hold-up and shooting took
place about ten o clock. Oharmesis
was on his way to the car where he
was to sleep when he was con-
fronted by a short, heavy built man
who ordered him to throw up his
hands. The Armenian did not
understand and attempted to brush
by, whereupon the robber fired
and when his victim fell some SIS
and watch were taken from his
person.
Oharmesis was found by two of
his countrymen, Bill Chourakis
and George Kagis, soon after the
shooting. The wounded man was
taken to the local hospital and the
town officers notified of the robbery.
Marshal Morley, Constable James
McGreevy and VIM. Heathershaw
set out to look for the hold-up and
his companion as it was believed
two men were implicated although
the Armenian was not sure on this
point. All the suspicious characters
in town were rounded up but no
clues were found until yesterday
afternoon when two men were
arrested at Eastport by Canadian
authorities. One of the men car
ried gun and the two answered
the description of the fellows wanted
here. The men were brought here
and examined yesterday by Justice
Kent who turned them over to
Deputy Sheriff -Mulcahy who will
hold them at Standpoint under the
charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons until it can be shown that they
are not the men wanted.
Oharmesis underwent an opera
ton yesterday morning at the hos
pital and the bullet with which he
was shot was extracted on his right
side just under the ribs. The bull
let had pierced clear through his
stomach.
The shooting affair of Wednes

Northern authorities, to be the
work of thug, probably demented

NO MORELIQUOR
TO The DRINKS
City Cegaeil Says intoxieatipa on the
Streets Is Becoming Z Nuisance
and Must Be Stopped.
WILL SELL IMPROVEMENT BONDS
Money So Raised to Be Spent on Main
Street Sidewalks.

That there has been too great
a disregard for the city ordinance
prohibiting the sale of liquor to
intoxicated men and that this prac-
tice must stop was the unanimous
decision of the city council in
session Tuesday evening.
The renewal of licenses for
another year each of the three
present saloon proprietors having
applied for same-was the question
that brought forth the discussion.
Much complaint had been made to
the council regarding the preva-
lence of drunken men on Main
street, and the council were deter
mined that stop must be put to
this obnoxious condition. The
three saloon men were called
before the council separately, and
this matter put up to them in plain
English. Their defense was that
it was a difficult matter to control,
because after they had refused to
sell liquor to man his friends
would buy a bottle" and take it
out to him. However, they all
promised to correct this evil as
much as possible if licenses are
granted them.
The renewing of the licenses
was postponed for a week for fur
ther consideration by the council.
Tract For Park Purposes
A committee was instructed to
have ten-acre tract surveyed out
of the McNear property, and if this
was deemed large enough, to close
the purchase of it at $50 an acre.
This is triangular tract lying on
the Northside adjoining the river
and directly above the bridge. 1t
is planned to place garbage
burner on one end of the tract
where it will be concealed in the
trees and where it will be obnoxious
to no one. The tract is a beauti-
fully wooded spot and will make
an ideal riverside park. A suffi-
qient area is now cleared to pro-
vide ball and other athletic
grounds if desired.
Will Sell Improvement Bonds
J. w. Reid reported that a pur-
chaser had been secured for the
balance of the street improvement
bonds held by the city, amounting
to $431. 81. An improvement dis
trict was formed and two thousand
dollars worth of bonds sold at the
time the cement walks were built
along Main street. Settlement
was finally made with the con-
tractor for approximately $1,000,
the balance being retained on
account of unsatisfactory work.
These will now be sold at par to

THE
BASEBALL MASK
Pitcher on Harvard College Nine In
tr0dMcpd II in 1876.

Frederick winthrop Tnayer, Boston
merchant, who died last September, is
credited with the IL vention of the
baseball catcher's mask while a
student in Harvard In it's obitu-
airy notice of him tho Harvard Grad
yates Magazine thu quotes from the
account of the invention given by
Genera Bancroft, at the time the cap
tain of the varsity crew:
"In the days wh,r Thayer entered
Harvard, baseball differed somewhat
from the present. A pitcher had to
throw underhanded and end his
throw with arm stretched out. Then
that changed, and as G consequence
the ball was thrown much more swift
ly. DR.. Harold G. Ernest, now pro-
! lessor in the medical school, was a
pitcher on the varsity niEe, and James
! A. Tying the real estate dealer, was
catcher The ma &c a wonderful
battery
"Thayer noticed that the more free
dom given the pitcher the greater
became the risk of the catcher. One
day he let a few into the secret. HI
|, was. going to-. make a. mask. A few
days before-t the Lale game of 1876 AZ
came on the field with it. Save fol
the fact that it was made more heav
lily, it was very similar to the masks
in use today.

IRISH POTATOES
PROFITABLE CROP
"Spuds" May Re Grown Easily On
Southeast Arkansas Lands.

Washington, April 11.-Irish pota-
toes are one of the easiest and most
profitable suburban crops. They may
be grown on almost any type Of soil
which possesses sufficient moisture
and plant food, though they thrive
best on sandy loan or gravel loan
soils, and it is on these types that
maximum crops of high quality 2o-
tatoes can be produced.
If the land which is to be planted
to potatoes is not likely to wash in
the winter, pillow in the fall to a
depth from nine to ten inches If the
character of the land will permit.
Deep blowing insures a greater Wa
ter-holding capacity. Spare no pains
in fitting the land for planting. Thor
ough preparation is essential TO large
yields, advises the department Of ag-
riculture.
Way to FertiIize.
Should a poor sod land be select
ed for potato bed, apply from l.
600 to $4,000 pounds of a fertilizer an

the other half from nitrate OF soda

Seed.
Select a variety Of seed potatoes
which is known to do we'll in the To-
cality. Some good varieties OF the
potato are Irish Cobbler, Early Ohio,
Rose -Four, for early potatoes, and
Green Mountain and Peerless for. late
growth. The Importance Of good seed
can not be too strongly emphasized
In the first place, the seed should
be free from var:etal mixture and

The tubers should be reasonably

Wilted Or badly terminated seed Is
not desirable.
Cultivation.

London women
START new CHURCH
--latest Phase of Feminist
Movement is New
Religion.

London, April 11.-The Church Of
the New Ideal is the latest phase Of
the feminist movement. The pioneer
congregation met for the first time
at Wallasey, the important newly
constituted borough on the Cheshire
side of the Mersey. Some two hun
dred women assembled at the con-
cert hall and listened to an inaugural
sermon by the Rev. Hatty Baker, Of
Plymouth. Men were excluded rigor-
ously
4 preliminary declaration of rea-
sons for the formation of the church
sets forth the "epoch-making advance
in the self-consciousness of women
as a Sex and womep's realization OF
equality with men in the religious
as we'll as in other spheres of life.
Their exclusion hitherto from any
share in conducting church services
is referred to as an exclusion by
which the general progress of huma-
nifty has been delayed. In the new
church the special needs and out
look of women will be dealt with.
Man-Ruled Churches Obscure
The Rev. Hatty Baker, who wore
what has been styled white chok-
err and a black gown Of conventional
ministerial type, took as her subject,
Gods Glorious IDEAL" She declared
that the churches as founded and
ruled by men obscurred the ideal,
and the present effort was to create
church of the future which would
be along the lines of the ideal. Alb
raham, she said, as long as he acted
on his own initiative, made mistakes,
and twice had to be told by God to
take the advice of his wife, and the
greatest tragedy the world had ever
known would not have happened if
PLATE had listened to his wife's coun-
sci.
The male bias had obscured the
message of Christ in the past. Such
bias must be done away with, and
the present church would effec.. that
end Persecution and trials, ridicule
and calumny for its adherents were
predicted, but these the preacher urg-
ed must be borne bravely, with the
steady, quie- hopefulness which never
despaired In the evening another
service was held, to which men were
admitted
