when a gang of boys and girls went
to the woods and conducted themselves
IN such manner as to bring the long
pent-up wrath of the patient cabin
owners down upon them. They visit
ed a cabin that was locked with a
paddock. took a bunch of keys from
their pockets and tried to open the
door. The woman who owns the cabin
appeared and requested them to
leave. One of the boys declared they
we're going to hold a dance in the
cabin. The woman informed him
that he was mistaken and he insolent-
ly said: when you and your man
are in town | guess we'll show you
whether we'll hold dance in your
cabin or not" Later he returned and
taunted the woman with the an
nouncement that s'We have got Mark
P. Miller's cabin for our dance tonight
and will use yours some other time"
The Mark P. Miller cabin" as he
called it is owned by Mrs. Bailey, Mr.
Miller's daugher. Mrs. Bailey and her
husband learned of what was going
on and secured the services of the of
ficers. Sheriff Woody, Deputy Sheriffs
and Malone and Prose
cutting Attorney Nisbet drove out and
found dance in full progress, with
music being supplied by victrola and
the dance going on in the dark, with no
lights in the cabin. Mr. and Mrs. Bail
ey also drove out and found the gate,
which had been fastened with a pad
lock, broken open and the yard filled
viii cars. There were students of Mos
cow and Pullman high schools having
a good time-in the dark. The names
IF the leaders were secured and Mrs.
Bailey said she would swear out war
rant for their arrest.
Owners of cabins out here who have
suffered long" have decided to put
stop to the depredations of those who
know better than to act as they have
acted and have employed an officer
who will watch the property nights
md Sundays and arrest any tres
oassers. Evidence is being gathered
n regard to past depredations and
prosecutions are promised. The law
provides that breaking into any build
ng is burglary, punishable by term
n. the peniteniary. There seems a
trong probability that some of those
Who have not learned that personal
in the country is as sacred
IS that in the city, may learn the

RAILROAD BRAKEMAN
DISPUTES JORDAN
C CONTRADICTORY STATEMENTS
MADE BY TWO EMPLOYEES OF
NORTHERN PACIFIC.

Flat contradiction of the statements
made by w. j. Jordan, general agent
for the Northern Pacific at Lewiston,
in regard to conditions at Moscow
which necessitated the change of
train crews from Moscow to Pullman,
is made by j. A. Bevan, a brakeman
on the train formerly running be-
tween Moscow and Lewiston, but now
tying up" at Pullman. Mr. Bevan
owns a home at 704 South Adams
street which he is offering for sale
since the change of headquarters to
Pullman. He addressed his communi
cation to the Moscow Chamber of
Commerce, before which Mr.. Jordan
recently made his statement. His
communication follows:
sMoscow Chamber of Commerce:
"Gentlemen:- Having read the
statement made to you by Mr.. Jordan
on May 4th, | decided that it would
not be right to let such statement go
unchallenged There are few, if any
of Mr.. Jordan's statements that the
records will bear out and most of
them are as vicious as misleading.
"Ten years ago there were seven
regular assigned crews between Spo-
kane and Lewiston (Mr. Jordan said
there were three) while today there
are only three. There has been no
change in equipment of facilities
either for handling freight or doing
switching. Freight is handled and
cars are switched today as SO years
ago. The only thing that has changed
is the amount of work which in
creases every year as more tracks
and warehouses are added each year.
"The crew referred to by Mr.. Jor-
dan as consuming three hours be-
tween Pullman and Moscow, usually
three hours from arrival at
Pullman to arrival at Moscow, the
balance of the time being used by the !
crew in eating, 80 minutes; running
time between Pullman and Moscow
80 minutes, the balance of the time
being used in setting out train and
picking up another train and station
switching.
"Mr. Jordan also stated that the
had to keep two watchmen
At Moscow who would not do the wip
ng of engines, which is not true.
Please ask him the names of the
vipers. The two men who watched
he engines also dried sand and put
IN the engines and wiped the engines.
The only reason that two men were
employed was that the engine from
he west local had to be watched IA
lours and 80 minutes when on time
md it was cheaper to hire two men
md pay them eight hours each than
O pay one man for 61a hours over
ime. He also stated that the watch
nan at Pullman can watch 10 engines
f necessary, which is correct under
ertain conditions. So could the
vatchmen at Moscow. They all work
nder the same schedule. These men
,et $4.22 per day of eight hours. Mr.. {
ordan knows that if the men do not
o their work they will be discharged
he same as 10 or Is years ago. l
rust that you will investigate both {
tatements and see who is trying to {
lislead the public. J
Yours Respectfully, S

s'704 S. Adams street." S
