unusually quiet, partially on account of
bad roads. Low' prices for staple pro
ducts continue. The only kinds of
farmers produce that are looking up are

downward, also butter.
The feeling in the wheat market is

surplus on hand of the grain -producing

great decline in the markets. The de

Cbas. Hodman Dead.
A Spokane dispatch of yesterday says
Charles Bod man died tonight of typhod
fever and worry. The remains will be
taken to Portland for interment. A
month ago he was arrested on a charge
of smuggling opium. His attorney, J
B. Jones, said tonight: "His arrest
was an outrage. Keen disgrace drove
him into fever, which carried him off.
The prosecution is responsible for his
death, as he was, to my knowledge, an
innocent man..
Bodman is very well known in this
city, having .worked at the U. P. shops
here several years.
The fact of Bodman's death caused
considerable comment in Spokane. A
month ago he was arrested on the charge
of smuggling opium. The preliminary
examination was held before United
States Commissioner Ken yon, - and,
although the evidence, was not sufficient
to convict, the commissioner remarked
that he considered it his duty to hold Bod
man to the grand jury in order to give
the government officer a chance to fortify
his case. The government's witness was
a woman from Nelson, who it waa
claimed was dtvoid of character. Sub
sequent to the woman 8 testimony her
hotel in Nelson was burned and it is
said she left the country.

in from an opposite direction. ' He fired
on the feasting beast and his cracking
rifle started up a band of five full grown
panthers, wbicjh scattered in. as many
directions, while what few hairs Mike
has left on his pate ' ascended heaven

TWO DOMESTIC TRAGEDIES.
Two Noble-Hearted Girls Who Faced the
Horrors of Murder. .
They were sisters, these two, at the
moment in awful peril, and they were
alone in the house in their extremity,
says the Free Press. -
"Here, said the elder one, handing
her sister a deadly-lookine dirk, "is a
knife. Bethink you you can use it?:
I bethink rne I can," replied the
younger girl with chattering teeth,
"but oh, Celeste, is there no way out
this?"
She had read "Virginius."
"None; methinks I hear him move,
"S'do I. He is struggling' to escape

here and hold the light. Courage, brave
girl I Hist! I can hear him stir."
"Now may the fates defend us,
whispered the girl with the knife, "and
save me from a death ignoble. What
vital part shall I strike, Celeste?"
"Give it to him in the neck, sister.
But soft, is yonder light the jocund orb
of day, and has the night faded into
morrow?" -
"Nay, that is the electric light on the
corner which has just showed its hand
I go now to kill him. Yes, I have said
it, to k-k-kill him!"
The brave, heroic, beautiful girl
plunged down the stairs into the
opaque semi-darkness, and in a moment
a terrific shriek Celeste at once rec
ognized the brand told that all was
over.
"Are you bringing him up?" asked
the girl at the head of the cellar stairs
in a voice alike on both sides.
"Yes by hand," came . the ghostly
whisper. .
The next moment he was dropped on
the floor, and the sisters threw them
selves into each other's arms, while
shriek after shriek clove the purple dis
tance of the mg-ht. '
