I Chief Suspends Officer - Claiming
that Officer Walter C. Snyder is sick
entirely too much, and also charging
that he made false statements in re-
gard to his age before the police COM
mission at the time of his examination,
Chief of Police Hans Schramm notified
the patrolman of his suspension, pend
ing an investigation by the commits
sion. Mr. Snyder Immediately filed
petition for a hearing, informing men,
bers of the police commission that he
had been suspended for neglect of duty
because of sickness. The matter will
be taken up in the very near future,
no date having been set for the hear
/ ing as yet. According to Chief
Schramm, Officer Snyder has been off
duty 107 days since joining the force,
about nine months ago. 1t is also al
legged that MIR. Snyder, at the time of
his examination, stated that his age
was 40 years. 1t is further claimed

der was As years of age. The limit is
80 years for a new man, and under the
circumstances, the commission allowed
the police candidate leeway of five
years. The suspension of officer James

the chief. who has deferred action
pending an investigation. 1t is claimed
that Alger allowed a 19-year-old pris-
oner to escape from him at the carni-

ger claimed that during the struggle,
he injured his leg. and since that time
has been compelled to lay off a con-
siderable portion of the time. Chief

tent of his injuries. after which definite
action will be taken.

ELECTRIC PLANT
OUT OF BUSINESS

Grangeville, and all other points
on the circuit of the local electric
light and power company's line. have
been in darkness since last Saturday
night due, it is said to a land slide
at the power plant which knocked out
a section of the flume and excavated
a deep hole that required the building
up of a new foundation. Just what
really happened nobody outside of
the workmen have been able to learn
for the reason that questions about
the matter are not readily answered.
The company should make adequate
provisions for such accidents as this
by installing an engine of sufficient
power to meet emergencies. The
power was turned On for an hour or
SO at noon today, 1t soon went off
and it was reported that another sec
tion of flume had gone out. This
puts the printing and newspaper bust
ness on the hog with a number of
other lines, and while we have the
paper ready to run, there is no pow
er to move the press.

SERVICE.

Monday mornings out going train
struck a serious obstacle in the way
of a big landslide, and had to tie-up
at Reubens and later returned to
Grangeville. The slide occurred about
four miles out from Culdesac, just be
fore reaching tunnel No. /, and was
one of the worst the High Line has
had to contend with so far as magni-
tude goes. However, it was in a
place where it could be gotten at
readily, and ON Tuesday afternoon
late the train was able to make the
trip through from here to Lewiston.
Some of the passengers who went
out on Mondays train from this
place returned to await the clear
ing of the track, while others
among them c. T. Mcdonald and D.
F. Auldridge took a livery rig and
drove to Culdesac, and there hired
another rig and intercepted the Spok
ane train at Arrow, and went on in
to Lewiston the same evening.

DR.. AND MRS. II. J. SMITH REACt
HOME.

HOME.
DR.. and Mrs. H. j. Smith arrived
at home last Saturday evening from
Vancouver, B. c., where Mrs. Smith
was confined to the hospital for somt
six weeks, her life at one time being
almost despaired of. In starting on
the homeward trip, Mrs. Smith had
to be taken from the hospital to the
boat on a stretcher, and every pro-
vision was made for her care and
comfort on the train after reaching
Seattle. But Notwithstanding all the
precautions, the trip was a severe
test of the invalid's strength, and
only the anticipated pleasure of the
homecoming and welcome buoyed hel
up. She is getting along well, how
ever at this time The doctor speaks
in the highest terms of the hospitality
and friendly solicitude shown them in
their trouble by the Canadian cousins
He says there was not day passed
during their stay at Vancouver that
a representative of the "Wellbeing
Committee" of the city did not visit
him and make inquiry as to their
needs and the treatment they were
receiving at the hospital.

GRAND JURY IS
DIGGING HARD
The George Dearing Murder
Case Is Receiving Thorough
Investigation.

The grand jury which begun work
the first of the week is showing
more life and business activity than
any similar bunch of men in Idaho
county, and their headquarters is the
center of more interest than any 9TH
er place so far as known within the
county limits The Deering murder
case which has held the interest of
this and the Mt. Idaho community
for many months is being investigat-
ed at the hands of the jury, and from
the number of witnesses summoned,
nothing is being left undone to arrive
at the facts surrounding the sudden
and mysterious killing of George
Deering at his home ranch near Mt.
Idaho last June. There may, and
probably will be, other matters look
ed into by the grand jury before it
tire time is being taken up with the
murder case. While nothing definite
is known, as to the outcome of the
inv nvestigation, there seems to be a
general we'll defined impression that
true bill will be found in the case
against someone. There Is no desire
that any innocent persons life or lib
erty should be placed in jeopardy,
but there is a demand ON the part of
the public that no guilty party be let
to escape the penalty due under the
law for this cold blooded murder of
an inoffensive citizen.
