On Monday evening last Dep- uty Sheriff R. M. Henley brought in Alexander McLeod from the middle fork of the Clearwater and placed him in jail. He ar- rested him in the Cedar Forest about fifty miles distant. The prisoner is charged with assault And battery on the person of one of his neighbors, Mr. George Swan, an old soldier. Judge Jarber came over Tuesday to try the case but that being a le- gal holiday he postponed it Until the following day. When the hour set rolled around the pris- oner was duly arraigned, but by mutual consent of counsel on either side and by reason of defec- tive Warrant and complaint the case was dismissed and the pris- oner ordered discharged. He Was immediately thereafter re- arrested Upon a warrant issued by Judge Vincent and brought before him for examination. In addition to other witnesses for the prosecution there were two (2) Indian Women, Mrs. Maggie Hill and Mrs. Lizzie Fairfield. The former (Mrs. Hill) request- ing an interpreter, Mr. W. N. Knox, otir able artd efficient Dep- uty Recorder, was induced to act in that capacity. Though he modestly disclaimed being an ex- pert in that line he nevertheless performed the diffitult task in a manner that is believed to have been quite satisfactory to all par- ties concerned. Though to some Who were present the language of this witness was quite unintelli- gible she almost told the story ih pantomihe. The various atti- tudéa Which she assumed were eloqüent and suggestive and left but little room for qüestion as to What she meant; Mrs; Fairfield gave her testimony in English, The prisoner was held to appear before the Grand JUry. His bond was placed at #250.00. This man waS arrested last win- ter by the U. S; Märshai (8tran- ahan) under the charge of selling whiskey to Indians but was ac- quitted. -■* Klearwater Kraeklings.

Salmon River is on the rise again and from the looks of things it will be higher than it was last year. We are having a Burvey on. both sides of the river which was badly needed. The Doumecq Plains will get a little streak surveyed this time. E. Richardson died on the 2nd inst., very suddenly. He was hoeing in the garden and fainted. His son carried him into a tent near by after which he lived only about five minutes. Mr. Rich ardson was a man of apparently robust Constitution and had nev er been sick a day in his life. He was born in Mercer Co., Ohio December 19th 1808, removed to Nebraska and from there to Sal mon River. Before his death he death he requested to be buried on his ranch at this place. His wish was carried out with funer al ceremonies on the 3rd inst. One of our ferry boats is re ported as being in a condition wholly unsafe for travel; Some time since it broke loose with passengers on it and it is a won der no lives were lost. It looks to us that our commissioners should see to it that the boats on this river are kept in a safe con dition and either make the own ers keep the same in good repair or require the forfeiture of their charter. Parties contemplating crossing the rivet would do well to wait aboüt two wfeeks until the new ferry boat is completed at the mouth of White Bird Crfefek. Our teacher hfts just closed a six month's term of school. The directors failed to report District No. 27 to the Commissioners and in order to settle with the teach er were compelled to raise #180. We should have directors in charge of our schools who can comply With the laws and give the work their attention and save the annoyance caused by failure to perform their duties. Mr, Hadorn was dbwn today and is all crippled up with rheu matism but it does not prevent him from taking a hearty laugh. He reports the Roundup pro gressing finely and a good crop of calves.
