Bootleggers Desert Seven Cases
and Car.

Jack Dempsey, Leo Remy ana
Shorty" Lang left Spokane last
week with seven cases of good"
Scotch whiskey, imported via
Canada (perhaps), and headed
for Nez Perce prairie points. They
reached a point north of Craig
mont with the major portion oe
their cargo and established their
headquarters in deserted barn
on a tract of Indian land. From
this point they began operations,
but ON last Friday they seemed
to conceive the idea that they had
better astsimilate portion of
their stock before it was all gone.
The "proof of their pudding :
came forth strong when each OF
the trio found himself laboring
under a genuine jag; and it was
not only Scotch, but it must have
been fighting whiskey. For a
three-cornered combat followed
their libations, and this wound
up in Dempsey being elected
from the circle. His feelings were
hurt, and to get even, he called
Sheriff Smith over the phone Fri
day evening and informed him
that if he were made exempt
from prosecution he would tell
the sheriff where two violators
of the prohibition law and their
cache could be found.
After a conference with Prose
cutting Attorney Pennell, the
sheriff held further converse
with Dempsey and followed his
directions in search Of the band
and their contraband. The two
men had regained their presence
of mind In the meantime and
sought protection in flight. Up
to date their flight has been sue
cessful. But their car and gem
erous sample Of their stock We're
found and these with Dempsey
were taken into the custody OF
the sheriff and brought to Nez-
perez for safe keeping. Dempsey
was later given his liberty, but
the balance of the capture is still
under the key Of the sheriff. In
the meantime diligent search is
being made for Remy and Lang.

HILL RICH IN HIGH-GRADE ORE
Mound in Mexico That Is Said by Elk
perts to Be Worth in Neighbour
hood of $4,000, 100000.

Primitive peoples have an uncanny
instinct for naming things accurate
ly. Centuries after the natives had
named hill outside the city of Dur
angO,- Mexico, "The Devils Finger
Tip" scientists came along and SOL
EMMY announced that it was formed
Of hematite, and had apparently been
jabbed up through the earth's surface
from molten masses far below.
This iron hill rises for 700 feet sheer
above the surrounding plain, and is
said to contain 600,0O0,O00 tons of
high-grade ore rated at 20 per cent
in iron content. In report made
just before the World war a British
expert said that the iron in the hill
is worth $5,OOO,OOO,OOO, or would be
If so located as to assure protection
in the operation of the property.
Put in another way, Mercado noun
tain, for the hill is so named after
the Spanish explorer who was the
first white man to see it, contains
iron which, If marketed today, would
bring more money than the entire
sum represented by all Of the gold and
silver taken out of Mexico between
1903 and 1903, when the exploitation
Of Mexican mines was at it's peak.

True Trachoma Easily Transmitted.

At recent meeting of the Ameri-
can Medical association DR.. John Nc
Mullin, surgeon, U. S. Public Health
service, started lively debate in the
section on preventive medicine by
reading paper in which he asserted
that much Of the so-called trachoma
which afflicted the eyes Of American
children is not trachoma and not con-
tagiOus.
The original cause of this inf1amma-
ton Of the eyelids Is unknown, but
1t is known with certainty that it is
transmitted with ease from one eye to
another. There is another type, called
fOlliculitis, which is not contagious
and can easily be cured, while the
true trachoma necessitates a slight
surgical operation and careful treat
ment: and, even with this, it is by
no means certain that it is ever per-
manently cured.
