IN A STRATEGIC POSITION
Tj. C. Vun Riper Makes a Hurried
Trip From New York and Se
cures Injunction -Against
Election of Officers.
VVEISER, Idaho. Nov. 21. (Special.)
Somewhat of a ponsatlon -was created In
tMs city today by the Issuance of an
Injunction from the District Court re
straining; the officials and board of di
rectors of the Pacific &? Idaho Northern
Railway in this city from holding the
annual election of officers and board of
directors today or voting any of the
stock of the company. The injunction
was Issued on the complaint of Lewis C.
Van Riper, of New York, who -was sup
ped to own the controlling stock of the
companv. having purchased it last April
from Lewis Hall, the president and origi
nator of the road.
Van Riper allegos that by the terms of
the agreement, for a certain considera
tion, the paying of the indebtedness of
the company and p'aying the cost of a
HO mile extension, he was to receive 66
per cent of the. capital stock of the com
pany; ihat the same was to be placed In
the care of the Guarantee Trust Com
pany of New York City, and that by the
terms of the agreement he, was to vote
this stock at all and any elections of the
company: that the Mock was placed on
deposit and afterward withdrawn and
given to some party unknown to him
arid without his knowlodge and alleges
the election to be held in this city today
was for the purpoas of electing Frank R.
Cordley. of Now York City, president,
and that his election would be detrimen
tal to his interests and the interests of
the road, that lie would obstruct and de
lay thework now in progress.
The move is looked upon in this vity
as the beginning of a light between the
Northern Paciiic and the Oregon Short
Line for possession ' of the Pacific &
Idaho Northern. Van Riper is known to
be connected with Jim Hill in many en
terprises, while all of the officials are
from the Short Line.
The Pacific & Idaho Northern occupies
an enviable position in the forthcoming
great struggle between the great railroad
Interests qf the West. A gap of little
more than 109 miles separates; It from
the southern terminus of the Northern
Pacific in this, state and connects in this
ity with the Oregon Short Line, and is
on the proposed route from Butte to the
Coast.
There Is. believed to be more in the
move than appears on the surface. Van
Riper was accompanied to this city by
Governor Frank Gooding. ex-Governor
Frank W. Hunt and one of Boise's lead
ing attorneys. Van Riper left his home
in New York City in such haste to reach
here in time to prevent the election that
lie did not have time to get a change of
clothing or an overcoat. About 36 miles
of the road's grade Is nearly completed
and Iron Is being laid at a rapid rate.

"The first. of this trouble started last
June, when I was down near Rldgefield

fellow there named Andy beedem and we
got in a little trouble when wo were
drinking apd had a row. After this Mil
ler, who was a friend of Seedem, got up
a crowd and came to my house after
night and came to the window of tho
room where I was sleeping and put .a
revolver through where there was a
broken pane of glass and seemed to he
"trying to locate me In the room. I heard
them coming and got up and stood in
the corner of the room. When one of
them put his arm through the window I
fired at him and he said: 'I am shot
through and through.
"The crowd then took to their heels
and the next day my boss come down
and settled up with me and I left Rldge
field. I first went to Seattle, then up to
"Whatcom, then up In the Big Bend coun
try and worked in a shingle-bolt camp.
Miller kept -sending letters tracing mo
up. trying to get at me through the
unions. I next went to Sutton and then
tp Hartlngs. in Douglas .County. He
traced nie' up here ;and the crowds kept
coming and -bothering me at night.; They
never did anything to me except at
night. I came down to Castle Rock late
ly, and when there I, heard lots of things
that Miller had said, and1 as my life was
nothing to me living as I was with him
tormenting me, I went up1' to Rldgefield
to put hlm'out of the way.
"I went out torthc camp and, was walk
ing up the flume with "a nian named
Clarke. Wc stopped at Miller's houso and
we had a drink of some bitters. Clarke
went on and left "me with Miller and I
thought that was my chance, so I fixed
him."
When asked how many shots he fired.
Brooks said three. He came to Rldge
field and said he intended to take the
train to Vancouver to give himsolf up.
Brooks has a wife, from whom ho is sep
arated, and three children, ' the youngest
of whom Is 14 years of age. He formerly

CHEITALIS. Wash.. Nov. 21. (Special.)
Last evening the Chehalls City Council
granted a 35-year franchise to the Cen-
tralia-Chehalls Electric Railway & Power
Company to build an operate an electric
line In the City of Chehalls. The line Is
to enter the city on the north end of First

street to Folsom, when It will cross over
to the west side of First street, extending
south on said street to North street;
thence east by the Courthouse to Market
street: thence northerly on Market to
West street, thence west to First street:
also a loop from North street and Che
halls avenue to uolsfort street, thence on
Bolsfort street to Market street.
An hourly service between the two cities
Is to be maintained from 6 A. M. to 7 P.
M.. with a 5-cent rate for service in this
city and not to exceed a lOrent fare be
tween the two cities. The company Is re
quired to grant a trackage arrangement
to any through line that may wish to en
ter the city, which will operate a through
line between the Columbia River and Pu
get Sound. The compensation which It
may receive for such trackage Is to bo
determined by arbitration, and the plan
Is to apply only to through lines, and no
rival local companies. The usunl condi
tions arc Imposed regarding the repair.
improvement, etc, of the streets.
There was a warm debate over the in
sertion of a provision which will require
the company to keep such a method or
bookkeeping that Its business may be de
termined by the City Council at Its pleas
ure, the records of tne company to oe suo-
ject to the Council's Inspection at any
tlme: that after ten years' time. If the
project proves a profitable one. the com
pany must pay to the city of Chehalls 23
per cent of Its annual net earnings there
after, after paying all Its Just expenses,
Interest on the investment, etc
Some of the Councilmcn were at first
inclined to look on this provision as a
harsh one. and some well-known citizens
present were called Into the discussion. It
was finally agreed to. nowevcr. ana tne
amendment was passed that this provis
ion should be added, as the feeling pre
vails that if the project proves prorttable
the city should have some recompense for
the franchise enjoyed.
The attorney for the company and Mr.
Canon, its representative, objected seri
ously to the Insertion of the clause con
cerning city recompense and Inspection of
the books, but their eirorts.were m vain
and the ordinance ns passed contains this
provision. The company is given 20 days
after the passage and publication of the
ordinance to comply with its conditions,
which require a $1C00 certified check to be
deposited for the completion and opera

FOOD
NOT MEDICINE.
H all the treatments for
consumption were put in
boolc form it would make a
pretty big library. But after
all there has been little im
provement over the old treat
ment of rest, fresh air, sun
shine, plain, wholesome
food and Scott's Emulsion.
The latter supplies nourish
ment that'eannot be secured
in any other way, and after
all, nourishment is what the
consumptive needs first
A gain in weight, however
slight,. is a long step toward
improvement If there is the
least thing to build on Scott's
Emulsion will enable the pa
tient to make that gain. Peo
ple have gained a pound in
weight from a bottle of Scott's
Emulsion it's an exception
when they don't.
We have seen Scott's
Emulsion take hold of a pa
tient and bring about a
change for the better inside
of a week. It always helps
even the most stubborn cases.
