A Halloween Accident

A Halloween prank that rez
suited more seriously than had
been anticipated occurred Sunday
night when Harry Edwards was
shot in the leg by Will Schober
with 22-calibre rifle and slight
ly wounded. A bunch of the
larger school boys were out that
night pulling off the usual Hal
lowe'en stunts, without intend
ing to really harm anything or
anybody, and some bright mind
in the bunch conceived the idea
that it would be good joke to
shut up Schobers' geese in the
school house. The geese were
accordingly rounded up and con-
fined in the basement of the
school and plans were being laid
to get the birds into the main
building when the Schober boys,
who had heard the outcry of the
geese and thought the birds were
being stolen, arrived on the scene.
The school boys Immediately scat
tered and young Edwards ran to-
ward town with the Schober boys
in hot pursuit. AS he did not
heed their calls to stop Will cut
loose with his rifle a couple of
times and one Of the shots struck
the boy in the fieshy part of the
leg, inflicting slight wound.
The injured lad was Immediately
taken to a doctor and had his
wound dressed and was able to
be out the next day as if nothing
had happened. All of the parties
concerned regret the accident
very much and are glad that il
did not result more seriously.

NOrth-SOuth Railroad
May Yet Be Built
Eastern Railroad Man Thinks
Can Be Handled For a
Million Dollars.

=
Million Dollars.
Henry P. Leavitt, representa-
tive of the eastern financial in
terests that are handling the re-
cent bond issue Of the Lewiston,
Nezperce & Eastern Railroad
company (the Johnson road), on
leaving here last week apparent
ly made the trip to south Idaho
over the Salmon river country,
and by the time he reached Boise
was able to talk as one with au-
thority, in connection with the
country he had just traversed.
The section he went over is that
which the proposed north and
south railroad between Lewiston
and New Meadows would open
to transportation opportunities.
From the Boise newspaper re-
ports of Mr.. Leavitt's statements
to Governor Alexander it is ap-
parent that he found the Salmon
river country a promising field
for railroad exploitation.
The Boise Capital News in tell;
ing of Mr.. Leavitt's visit to the
city, said that he had gone over
the Salmon river country with a
view of furnishing power for
transportation purposes through
the medium of a gasoline motor
which can operate on a grade as
high as 5 per cent. He believes
the road can be built from New
Meadows to the present southern
terminal of the Lewiston & Nez
Perce railroad, in which his peo-
pie have become interested, for
not to exceed 81, 900, 900 and it is
his opinion that the Lewiston &
Nezperce offers the best route
into Idaho seaport city-Lewis-
ton. In fact he believes it would
be an ideal connection.
Before leaving for the east,
says the Capital News, Mr.. Leav-
lit promised to make a further
investigation and inquiry and to
submit a proposal whereby the
capitalists he represents will un-
dertake to back the construction
of the railroad. He also promis-
ed to take matters in connection
with the road up with members
of the north and south railroad
commission appointed by the
governor. He said he would aid
them in working out a feasible
plan by which the roads con-
struction can be assured.
Genuine surprise was express
ed by Mr.. Leavitt that the state
of Idaho should so long have per-
mitted a condition to exist where
by so extensive and rich coun-
try as north Idaho should be so
far segregated from the rest of
the state with the consequent re-
suit of sectional dissatisfaction
and strife, especially in view of
the extremely rich section of
country which divides the two
sections of the state.
He also expressed astonishment
that the people of Idaho had not
long ago demanded that this north
and south railroad should be built
to connect those two sectlons,
but that a spur should be built to
the tremendously rich sections
around Warren, which he declar-
ed his investigation led him to
believe is far richer mineral
country than the Occur d'Alenes.
He thinks its development is be-
ing retarded only by lack of
proper transportation facilities
which can be provided at a rea-
sonable cost to the people of the
state. Wednesdays Tribune.

pretty badly.
The curtain raised on the per-

Ed. and Fred Koester, aged Il

into the private garage of Peter

The next thread in the tangled
skein was picked up here in Cot

when it was discovered that the
T Hoene hardware store had been
entered some time the previous
night and an auto tire and other
articles taken. H. H. Nuxoll,
who had come up from Charleston
on Monday evening, at once con-
nected the burglary with the
theft of the car in Charleston and
in short time the track of the
missing car, which carried tires
different from those in use by
cars in this vicinity, was picked
up on the road west of town. AS
the track did not lead beyond this
place it was surmised that the
culprits might be in hiding in the
timber on the mountain and ex-

COURT SINGERS FOR
WATCH TOWER 2 DAYS

The attraction at the Watch Tower
next Sunday and Monday is 10 be the
Hampton Court Singers. Taking cog
nfzance of the fact that most Of the
mixed concert parties have builded
their programs almost entirely of 0p-
cratic music, either by producing an
act from well known operate works
or by making excerpts therefrom, the
Hampton Court Singers have almost
entirely discarded operate music, and
have given over their program to in
depreciation of good music outside OPP
cratic lines. By so doing they have
performed a real service, and are
bringing to audiences a program of
superior music which has heretofore
been but little known and appreciated.
The revival of the old English motion
songs, il appropriate costume of their
period, has been a particularly happy
innovation.

RUSS LIKENED TO
SPIDER INA WEBB
London Correspondent Describes
Fighting in East-Says Germans
Advance Slowly.

London. July 2g- Telegraphing from
Petrograd the Morning Post CORES
pOndeut says
There is marked difference in the
manner in which the Russians are
dealing with the attacks on the north
ern and southern fronts. The latter
7. is the scene Of hard fighting, inch by
inch, and the Germans have made no
general progress here, but are making
prolonged pauses over the greater pro
portion of their front in order to de
tach reiuforcements for the purpose of
bringing into line the backward sec
tions.
They are also fighting in tropical
heat which makes even existence burd-
ensome. The Russians have not yet
been put to any severe strain and deal
with the German attacks faithfully
wherever they are delivered. More
than two-thirds of this front, namely
from the Vistula TO the Vieprz, is
quiescent.
General Boebm- ErmoIIi's forces
have again succeeded in getting across
the Bug at the same point on which
they made previous advance. namely
between SokaI and Porietszk. They
doubtless viii be dealt with as before
by the capable Russian cavalry In
any case, the nature of the country 10
the right of the Bug promises little for
the enemy's enterprise.
THE Niemen-Dvina front is still the
potentiality of the future. For the
present the only conflicts there are
those between cavalry patrols and ad-
vanced pickets. The Russians are
watching and not opposing the German
advance I might liken the Russian
position to that Of a spider in his web.
Whenever the enemy attacks the de
cision is promptly taken on whether to
let him continue to entangle himself
further or to dispatch enough forces
either TO smash the attack or to com
pei the enemy to bring up more
strength.
The enemy is now shaking the Rus
sian web over about two-thirds of its
circumference, while the spider sits
his progress and waiting for
the fomenC to take decisive action.
That moment is still far off on all
fronts"
