Ono f rn rrm 11 n t rC flia nnnlr ainva an inch square buried itself in Mr. Bach man's forehead, crushing his- skull: another niecu 2 inches lone was taken froin Just above his right eye;his right leg va8 broken Jusc below the kneo and the lower portion of his leg liter ally torp to pieces by small particles of cast Iron. A piece of red-hot casliroq two in ches square was tUried ulrribst out of sight in Mrs. Bachruan's groin and the flesh around the wouud is horribly burned. Her other injuries are not serious although her face and hauds were cut aud gaehed in a frightful manner by the flying fragments of the stove Mrs. Bachman tells the story of the explosion. Mr. Bachman was en gaged In digging a well aud put the lyuamlto in the oven of the cook stove Jtiftt before, breakfast tothaw It out. After it had been there for some little time he wept to the stove aud picked up one of the four sticks to ex- amiuo it, saying that it had not been in there long enough yet. Just as he laid the stick of dynamite hack lu ttio stove the awful explosion occurred Mr. Bachman was thrown to the floor aud laid as though dead. Recovering from the shock Mrs. Bachman fouud the contents of tub house blown into a heap, and boards full I uk from above had blocked the door, but a window had been blown out and through this she reached the outside. She scream ed for help and, at the same time made her way to a horso which was tied to the fence near at baud aud tried to mount it to ride for assistance but was too weak to mount. M. W. Bennett a neighbor living half a mile away heard the explosion and later Mrs. Bach man's calls for help and came as fast as he could. The wife saw smoke coming from the houso by this time aud going to tho open window called to her husband whom eho thought was dead, telling him the houso was ullro and tluit hu must get out or per ish. and then overcome with lucre as Intr weakness she collimsndiW, nut. sido tho window.

It Is understood that Mrs. Bachman desires to have her husband's remains embalmed and to accompany them East herself, but as her own condition forbids traveling, what disposition will bo made of the body has not been decided. The loss of the home by fire has left tho lniured and erlef-strickcn woman destitute of clothes, bedding and all oilier necessities, but present needs have been promptly furnished, and she is being cared for at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M.

W. Elwell, a rancher In tho Bake Oven district, was arrested Monday afternoon charged with selling dls eased meat. The infected meat was disposed of in and about 8haniko. El well was brought to Shauiko and he waived a preliminary hearing and was taken to The Dalles and placed in jail. Elwell was released at The Dalles on bond furnished by attorney John Uavtaj but when a bench warrant was itsued later, he could not be found. The facts reported are as follows: R. R. Hlnton foqnd a steer in Lis herd which was affected with a very ad vanceu, case, or actinomycosis, or lumpy Jaw. Wishing to dispose of the animal, he hired G. W. Elwell. neighboring rapcher, to kill it, return the hide, and burn the remains. El well killed the animal and returned the hide, but brought the m"at to Shaniko and sold it to several resi dents of this city, Instead of destroy ing it. Suspicion was aroused by in formation obtained through private sources and on Sunday afternoon an investigating committee composed of several business men of this city made trip to El well's ranch, where, when questioned, he admitted that ho had sold the meat of the animal he had been hired to destroy, to residents of this city butstated that he thought it was ouly a case of broken jaw. The committee secured the head of the an Imal which was frightfully diseased and brought it to this city, from here it was taken to be used as evidence against Elwell. fcjhanlko Republican PLAN FOR NEW STATE Spokane, Wash., Jan. 26. Hold ing of a convention in Spokane in March to discuss tho plan of the new state of Lincoln is definitely proposed by F. II. Mason aud C. H. Moore, very prominent business men, who ask that the Spokane Chamber of Com merce Issue a call to all commercial bodies. The plan contemplates ex tendlug the south bouudary of Wash ington through Idaho, thus constitut ing the south boundary of the new slate. Montana would be the east boundary, British Columbia the north boundary, and the west, Instead of be ing the Cascade mountains, would be an extension of tho east boundary oJ uauroruia, the l'-0tli parallel of lati- ludo. This would leave Wenatchee aud North Yakima and KUensburg hi the state of Washington, of which Olympia Is the capital. x'ossioie opposition from Idaho to tho proposed plan will bo met by ex-j leiiuiuK . me present luauo ooundaryd west to meet tho same narallnl limn uow constitutes tho east boundarv of California; thus all that portion of thei present siaio or urejrou bounded nn the south by Nevada would bo added to iqatio..

INDIAN BURIAL CUSTOM Dead Braves Are Exhumed Then Buried Again MADE OCCASION FOR A GREAT FEAST Some sltlon Quostlon As to Final Dispo- f The Bodies Tribal Cu&to'ms Still Remain When questioned regarding the Indian burial customs on fhe Warm spring Reservation, an old resident of this locality who is familiar with their practices and customs', gave the following interesting account of an Indian burial: When an Indian dies', his body is first buried in., the ground, after the manner of his white brothera burial; but after Jt has remained there several weeks, (t is exhumed and the Indian burial exercises tajie place. For sev eral days these exercises are carried on, accompanied by agreat feast, after which the body is takep to its last resting place, or at least it disappears though where it goes or what Is done with it none but the Indians know, so he says. The open grave in which IX was first.buried bears mute testimony to the fact that the body was not again buried there. Some others say that tho body 1e simply buried again in a different spot but there appears to be some mystery in connection with the final disposition , of the Indian remalna. However, there are Indian burying grounds on the Reservation which present similar appearance to those of the white people. Although the government has done much to turn the Indian Intot thp paths or civilisation, naost of their tribal customs are retained by them. In spite of their schools and expert mental farmsj .aud the partial adop tion of the white man's mode of drets. his adoption of the customs and man ners of his white brother has been a slow process.
