Bound Over.


Maynard Brown, charged with the
killing Of James Snodgrass, was given
preliminary hearing before the pro-
bate court Wednesday evening. The
defendant was bound over to the dis
trict court for trial for a first degree
murder. Sheriff Harper and DR.. Hors-
will were the only witnesses the state
placed on the stand, and their testi-
mony was only repetition OF that
given at the inquest. It was brought
out that Snodgrass, in his dying state
ment, said that he went to the big eddy
to meet Mrs. Brown when the husband
caught him and his paramour. An
other fact brought out was the state
ment Of DR.. Horswill that when he in
formed Snodgrass that he was dying
that the young man said that he had no
Maker, therefore no peace to make.
Maynard Brown is now In the county
Jail held without bail, and will have his
trial in the district court next week.
So far as the Republican can learn this
is his first trouble, having always born
a good reputation, and considered
strictly honest and:upright.
Relatives went SO far as to arrest
him at the time Of his marriage to an
Indian woman, to whom he has, accord.
Ing to general report, been faithful
and true. The Browns have three
small children.

After the Skun',.

Pierce, Idaho, March l, 1914.
Editor Clearwater Republican,
Orofino, Idaho.
Dear Sir:-Behold the mountain has
laborcd and brought forth-what do
you think? A skunk. It seems that
the ''gang" while wallowing in their
own corruption and realizing the pub
lie would notice the stencil thereof, be-
thought OF the word skunk as being
their nearest prototype; and thought
thereby in applying the same to you to
thus drag you down on level with
themselves.
Little did they think that they had
hurled boomerang; and that the sym.
bolic skunk that they had hurled at
you would return and spew them DER
with something that stinks worse than
anything that could be done by real
skunk.
When in years gone by, after coming
in contact with the business end of 9

New Assessing Plan.

Elk River Sentinel: John F. Cor
man, who is listing the Potlatch stock
Of lumber here for assessment, states
that Clearwater county will accept the
recommendations Of the Panhandle
assessors meeting at Occur d'Alene
last week. Among these is new rate
on lumber in stock. Last year it was
all, good and bad, punched at flat
rate OF $3.50 per M. This year white
pine Of all grades will be punched at a
flat rate Of 1890 and all other woods
IS. This arrangement did not meet
his approval as yellow pine shop
would pay less than No. S Com. white
pine, but it carried.
Another thing the meeting decided
on was that each timber county should
cruise three full township OF stumpage
this year and compare results with the
present averaging assessment as well
as report it to another assessors meet
ing This cruise will be in detail, CIV
ing the timber stand, meadow, burn
and cut over area on each 40, together
with map showing topography and
an estimate Of the agricultural value OF
the land. This is intended to be a be-
ginning only, the plan being to extend
the cruise yearly till it covers the
county. Which townships will be
chosen for this year is not settled, but
presumably one Of them will be north
OF the North Fork. Work is to begin
Us soon as possible
Mr.. Germans opinion is that il the
Northern Pacific winsit pending suit to
secure reduction in valuation Of land
in 37-5 the same principle will compel
an immediate picce-by-piece valuation
Of all the land in the county. He says
that the roads grant was assessed on
the averaging system and that it now
seeks to kick on its taxes on what is
under average after paying on what is
over average. The county is unwilling
to assume the enormous expense Of 9
general cruise now, and will therefore
put up a vigorous fight in the courts
against the railroads contention.

'The church is not refrigerator for

church is not club for social snobs,
but hospital for the weary and

exist to afford amusement, but to offer

church is not to furnish hammocks for

The object Of the church is not to dodge

Fall.

Harry Graceman departed Mon
day night for the Eastern markets
to buy new fall goods. In conjunc-
ton with four other large firms he

leading creations which he will
handle for his trade. The style
show will be something new for De-
corah, and no doubt will be well
patronized by the ladies.

Messrs. H. H. Woldum of this
city and brother Martin, of Nasset,
returned Wednesday evening from a
business trip to Chicago and De-

handle the cars for them in these
different places, and anyone desir-
ing the agency can address or call
on H. H. Woldum, at the Woldum
Produce Co., in this city.

like 1925, and about $3.50 with
electric lights and all modern equip
ments of higher priced cars. 1t is
manufactured by the Savage Mo
tor Car Co., an old and we'll known
company. For a moderate priced
car, those who know say it is hard
to beat. The cars will be in Decor

les regarding the car, and prospects
are for big sale of them.

MRS. l.. j. TJERNAGEL DEAD.
Former DEBORAH Resident Passed
Away July II, at Home in
Story City.

Mrs. l.. J. Tjernagel, a former
Decorahl resident, passed away at
her home in Story City, Friday, July
18th. She had been sick for some
months, with a liver disease, and
this, complicated with weakness OF
the heart, caused her death. The
following obituary is taken from
the Story City Herald:
Sarah Johnson was born in Nor
way, ILL.,, Dec. 6, 1861, her parents
being John and Sarah Johnson-Sol-
berg. She died in Story City July II,
1914, aged SO years, Z months and
IL days.
Her parents moving to Iowa
when she was two years old she
lived in Benton county until June
II, 1885, when she married l.. j.
Tjernagel and moved to Story City.
She has lived here ever since, with
the exception of five years, when
she and her family lived in Decor
ah. Four children were born to
her, all of whom are living, namely,
Clarence, Mabel (Mrs. Dornack of
Rochester, MIMI Alvina and Sarah
Lucille All the children were at the
funeral.
Mrs. Tjernagel had not been in
good health for some years, but
it was not until early this spring
that it was suspected that she was
seriously sick. For three months
she grew steadily worse, and the
severing of life's cord was looked
for for several weeks She died in
the faith that had sustained her
through life and she was glad to
heed the summons which called her
to a better world.
Besides the husband and children,
who feel the loss of loving spouse
and mother most keenly, the der
ceased leaves numerous friends in
and around Story City who will
long remember her many good quail
tiles.
