The case of the state against James
Simonsen wua tried yesterday, all the
evidence being taken and the argument
was postponed until 3 o'clock this after
noon. Attorney Phelps appears for the
state and Dufur & Menefeo for the de
fendant. Some person or poreons entered the
residence oi Mr. French, on the hill, a
few days ago, and swiped $10. At the
same time they helped themselves to a
nice joint of boiled beef. He being a
bachelor probably accounts for the fact
that no bread was taken.

As W. E. Walther waB going home
last night about 8:30, and when about a
block this side of his house on Ninth
street, two men suddenly stepped up to
him aud commanded him to throw up
bia hands. "Ypu don'.t want the only
nickel a man nas, do you?" said he
"Throw up your hands and stop your
talk" was the reply. Walther put up
his hands and the men went through all
his pocketB, finding just one lone, soli
tary nickel. The robbers scorned
to take it, and bo returned it
to his pocket. From the amount
of money found on him, they probably
took him for an editor and thought if
they took that nickle their victim would
bo broke for an indefinite time.
Walther has the nickle, and will keep
it as a remembrance, being careful un
der the present conditions not to carry
any more than five cents' worth of
money home after night. He said noth
ing about the robbery, but the little
birds that always stand in with printers
told us all about it.
Died on the Mountain.
Saturday evening the lifeless body of
William Powers was found in the road
above Lower Cove on the mountain
divide between that place und Indian
Creek. The particulars rogaading his
doath are riot very clear, but it seems
that he was subject to fainting spells
and that an attack at this time was the
cause of death. The hands were badly
lacerated, apparently from grasping hold
of u barb wire fence, and his course was
traced a considerable distance by blood
on the ground before the body was
found. It is thonght that life had' been
extinct several hours before the body
wus discovered.
Tho deceased has been a resident of
Lower Cove for some time, and is raid
to have been a man of about middle age.

During the month of December, owing
to the fact that the time for making final
proof on cash entries expired Jan. 1,
1897, there wbb n steady etreatn of ap
plicants for title. In consequence the
land office was busy all the time and
handled a very large sum of money.
There was collected and sent away dur
ing the month and for the first six days
of this month, .fG7,5Gl. This money
goes, never to return, and baa proved a
serious drain on the country. It is a
matter of congratulation that the rush is
over and the drain stopped. Of course
no more money is being received for
caBh entries and the sum sent out on
account of homesteads is only a small
matter. There has been one other great
rush draining the monev from, the coun
try to pay for lands, but this one ends
it. With a good wheat crop next year,
of which there is now abundant promise,
and an improved condition of the wool
market, Eastern Oregon will soon have
money to jingle again, and may be able
to keep some of it.
School Tax I,evy.
School districts and incorporated
towns that desire to make a tax levy are
required by law to notify in writing the
clerk of the county court, in the county,
within which is situated the district or
town, of the rate per cent, of the levy
so made on or before the first day of
February in each vear. A copy of this
notice is also required to be kept on file
by the several clerks as a part of the
records of their districts or towns. City
councils have the power to make this
levy, but for school districts a special
meeting of the voters will have to be
called by the board. As a ten-dav no
tice is required for all school meetings,
it would be well for the school boards to
have their notices posted at as eariv
a date as poseible,so as to be sure that the
special ineetpgs of the taxpayers may
be so held as to allow the clerks ample
time in which to file the leyies made
with the county clerk.

C. D. Porter returned from a buslnoes
trip to the north on Saturday evening.
During his absence ho visited Neleon,
Trail and Rossland. In speaking of
Rossland, Mr. Porter said :
"The past year has been preparatory
to resultB which are hoped for this year.
There has been a vast amount of de
velopment done during the past twelve
months winch must bring a number of
producing mines to the front.
"The work going on at Nelson will
largely increase the capacity of the
smelter. When the improvements are
completed, the smelter will be able to
handle 250 tons of ore daily. The new
stack, which Is 160 by sixty inches, is
the largest in the Northwest. The com-1
pany are now erecting a roverberatory
furnace,and expect soon to make blister
copper.
"It is refreshing to see the air of pros
perity in evidence all through the
Kootenay. This year will make history
for the Kootenay aa no season lias over
done before."
Mr. Portei returned by the way of the
lied Mountain road, and says it is the
best now mountain road he has ever
traveled over. Spokesman Review.
Murders, Horse HteullnR And Oilier
Amusements.
They are haying plenty of fun and
excitement up in Grant county even if
timesare rather hard. Week before lat.
a fellow whs uiurderrd, and last week
four young men committed larceny and
burlary by Btealing a horse arid break
ing into a residence at Monument, and
stealing goods therelrom. Tho two par
ties most deeply implicated in the crimes
were arrested at Coudon last Saturday,
and the two others passed through An
telope last Saturday, stopping at Bake
oven the same night. Deputy constable,
E. A. Putnam, of near Fossil, traced them
to that point, arriving there last Sunday
night, but the thieves bed gotten too
much of a start on him, and the chase
was abandoned at that point.
While it is necessary to bring hucIi
criminals to justice-, tho authorities will
probably be more lenient witii thorn than
under any other circumstances, for a
man who will steal a horse now should
be regarded an a public benefactor, in
stead of a thief, There are some 11,000
old plugs in this section that should
have been stolen out of the country
years ago. Antelope Herald.

A New York writer gives tho following
description of a costume worn by Mrs.
William C. Whitney at thoopera : "The
waist seemed to bo literally covered
with diamonds and emeralds A tiara
of diamonds and emeralds rested on her
coiffure. About her neck was a solid
band of diamonds, from which were
Euspended pendants .of diamonds, fall
ing over her shoulders. In the center of
the corsage was a diamond star; on
cither side were other diamond clusters,
and suspended from tho right shoulder
and falling down over the waist was a
single string of diamonds of immense
size. I don't remember if she wore any
thing else or not."
