LOSES AN OLD, OLD FRIEND.

II. A. Pentland. who has held down
ranch on Whisky Hill for the past
ten years. called at the Gazette office
Friday last for the purpose OF having
card of thanks inserted to those
who so kindly lent assistance at the
time of the tragic death OF his partners
the late Frank Dicky. The lives OF Mr..
Pentland and Mr.. Dicky during the
past fifteen years were in measure
an eXemplification of tn trad1uonal
lives of David and Jonathin, or Damon
and Pythias. Had the occasion arisen
to prove the depth OF the friendship
of Mr.. Pentland and Mr.. Dicky, as IN
the case of Damon and Pythias. those
individuals of this modern age would
not have been found wanting in SELL
sacrifice. For fifteen years Mr. rent
land and Mr.. Dicky were inseparaDle.
Mr.. Pentland states that he first met
Mr.. Dicky in the Palouse country III
teen years, ago They struck up
friendship that has survived for all
these years, and the breaking OF the
ties almost broke the heart OF Mr..
Pentland. Some ten years ago the
partners drifted into Okanogan county
and Mr.. Dicky took up his home with
his friend and so they have lived to-
gether. and were together when fate,
in the form of a skittish young horse,
drove his heels into the chest OF Mr.
Dicky, on the Bottomly ranch, Tues
rdaY of last week, and the chan OF
friendship was severed forever.
Mr.. Pentland stated that Mr.. Dicky
and himself had rented a piece OF
valley land from Mr.. Bottomly and
on the morning when the accident oc-
Cured the two men were preparing
to go to work. Mr.. PentlaBd had driv-
en- the horse that caused the disaster
out of a small barn and few mo-
ments afterwards he heard dull thud
and turning saw that mis- partner
Dicky. had crumpled to the round
He rushed to the assistance of the fall
en- man, realizing that he had been Kick
ed by the horse, and did all in his
power to aid him, but the unfortunate
man was beyond aid. Miss Maggie
Bottomly and her brother, Charies
did all they conld to make the strick
en- man comfortable, but he did no
regain consciousness and died witli'
a few minutes after receiving the fata
Injury.
Mr.. Pentland states chat the deceas
ed was - years fage, and so far
he knew had no relatives. He wa
J born in Ohio and came out west
) good many years ago. Mr.. Pentlan
SAYS he was gentle, kindly, an
; strictly honest and upright in all hi
dealings, and Mr.. Pentland not 'onl
3 keenly mourns his longtime side klc
: but will be lonely without him.

A WONDERFUL RECORD.

It would seem by the record made
by the Great Northern Railway during
the past five years that it is safer to
be riding constantly on the passenger
trains of that system than sitting
around on dry goods boxes in small
town and whiting stick. 1t seems
almost beyond belief that during the
past five years that the Great North
ern has not lost a single one OF the
millions of passengers it has carried,
vet that is what the record shows as
is set forth in the following statement
that appeared In a despatch dated
from st. Paul:
"The Great Nortnern Railway has
established new record Tor sale-

| ly 36,000,00O passengers In the last

BAR INVESTIGATION
 PUT OFF UNTIL AUG. 6
Grand Jury Recesses After Re turning 40 True Bills In Report

After rendering a partial report, returning 40 true bills, the new Jeff ferson county grand jury, which has been in session since Monday morn ing. adjourned Tuesday afternoon until Aufgust 6, unless Solicitor Jim Davis issues a special call. It has been previously announced that the grand jury would reconvene on July 30 to take up the bar probe, but the date was postponed a week when the jury met Tuesday and they were in- structed to report on August 6.
 During the two days sessions held by the grand jury approximately 125 witnesses were examined and inves- tigations were held only in regular routine criminal offenses, such as reckless driving, violating prohibi- tion law, etc. Although no state ment was made to this effect it is thought that only investigations were made into these minor offenses because Judge H. P. Heflin had so in structed them when he delivered the charge to them Monday morning.
 The probe into unethical practice of Birmingham attorneys, as charged by members of the Birmingham bar, will in nowiss be slackened because of this postponement, Solicitor Davis stated, and a rigid investigation is being planned.

NEW BUSINESS LAGS IN IRON MARKET HERE
Birmingham Makers Still Hold For $27 Base; $25 Man Sol dOut


 The Birmingham iron market con tinues to be characterized by 'dearth of new bushes, while the iron already ordered is going out promptly to the melters.
 Birmingham makers still hold for $27 with business confined to small lots for prompt delivery. No large buyers have been in the market to test it's strength. The one maker selling at $25 is understood to have disposed of entire poduction for the third quarter and to be out of the market. None of the makers is re- ported as offering to do fourth quar- ter business.
 All merchant furnace makers are understood to be booked well night to capacity for the entire third quar- ter.
 There was some increase in stocks on furnace yards at the end of June. Bad furnace operations brought on by humidity are undestood to be re- sponsible for production of some low grade iron which went to yards.
