All five of the men who attempted the
Jail delivery were facing long terms in
prison. Porter was looking forward to
20 years at Lansing and the two Mex
cans also had terms there. Cleveland

Higgins may go to the penitentiary
yet. He is only Is years old. Last
summer his troubles with the authori-
ties had their beginning. In a crap
game" he quarreled with another ne
gro and in the fray. shot and killed
him and a second negro named Holmes
was hit with a stray bullet, dying later.
Because Of his youth, Higgins would
have landed a term of several years at
Hutchinson.
Higgins was the man who struck
Bundy with the weapon. Bundy says
he saw the young negro do 1t and Sher-

that he will be sent to the state prison
instead of the reformatory. 1t is said
that the court has the power to change
it's decision in the case.
Jailer Bundy did not suffer severely
from the wound.

had again become adverse. led to a decid-
ed upturn. The close was strong, x6hc

Predictions that husking in Illinois would
be finished before Thanksgiving counted

Grangeville Globe: A number of our
able exchanges, both democratic and
republican, claim that the reason Con.
gresham French received such large
vote last election was that the progress
sives forsook their candidate for him;
and they produce the figures to prove
it. That will hardly happen again, il
the opinion of Mr.. French entertained
by the Nezperce county progressives
prevails generally over the state. AT
their meeting held in Lewiston on the
7th inst. the progressives of that county
after expressing themselves to their
brethren of the southin regard to sena-
torlal timber said: eve will not sup
port French, as he is arepublican strad-
der" That is putting it in pretty
forcibly, and it can hardly be called Gin
elegant language.

show that the county was not receiv-

just what the official hoped to gain by

seem to be to go to the court house and

and abusive individual for a consid-
cradle period. Public officials don't
