The sale of wool belonging to mem
ber? of the Idaho Woolsrowers' asso
ciation stored In the Falk warehouse,
commenced roon after 9 o'clock this
mnrn'ne. Jinx Mnyfield. assisted by J.
E. CI!:iton. jr., secretary of the sso
elation, conducting the sale, states the
Hoise Capital News.
The method adopted was to bring to
the outrtde platform a sample of sacks
of wool from each grade in n seller's
clip. The buyers would open thes
sacks and examine the wool, which
resulted In almost every fleece helns
opened and examined by some one of
the 10 or 12 buyers who, without coats
nnd with up-rolled sleeves, delved Into
the fleeces as experts only can. Im
mediately upon finishing a lot. the
buyers noted their bid. on' slips of
paper and handed them directly to the
owner or to Mr. Mayfleld. who'nt once
turned them over to the owner who
retired apart from the crowd to ex
amine them, very soon potlfled Mr.
Mnvfleld of his acceptance or rejection.
The first lot examined was that of
Joseph Kent, of Boise. S9 sacks, fur
wnicn is 14 cents was bid bv two
buyers, the bids being rejected by Mr.
Kent. .;
Thomas McMllan's lot was the next
one subjected to the scrutiny of the
men from the east, 104 bngs. which
was sold to thre buyers representing
Her.ht Le'ber & Co.. of Boston, for
0 5-x cents: Frank A. Nourse's clln of
30 bags was purchased bv Jack Pa'.-
teison. representing n Boston house,
for IS 'A cents, the lowest bid being 1$
cents. Mr. Patterson also purchased
Annett end Stewart's B" sacks at lSU
cent", the lowest bid being 13 Vt cents:
he tilso tf;is the Wchest bidder for 87
sacks belonging to Miguel Oarbla and
got the woo! for 1 7 V4 cents. Castro
Aldecoea sold at 19 14 cents, the low
est Md being 18 cents.
Henry Blncher rejected a bid of 15
cents for three lots. Joseph Oestel re
jected a hid of IS cents and Payne
and fence rejected 19 5-8 cents for
3S6 sacks. During the forenoon about
1000 sacks were sold.
There was no evidence of under
standing or combine on the part of the
buyers and the variations In bids quite
conclusively shows the contrary. It
was quite generally conceded that the
wool was not quite up to last year's
clip.
-Nearly all the eastern houses that
have heretofore made large purchases
of Idaho wool, were present. Elsenman
Bros., of Boston, and Sllerman Bros..
of Chicago, being notable exceptions.
The sale was well nrranged and con
ducted very satisfactorily to both buy
ers and sellers by Messrs. Mayfleld
and Clinton. Just before noon the en
tire group was photographed.
The members of the association who
were present expressed the view that
the sale had met expectations, and
demonstrated the wisdom of this me
thod of disposing of a year's clip.
Afternoon Sales.
At the afternoon meeting Thomas
Booth rejected a bid of '18 cents for
his clip: Verncmrltk also refected a
bid of 19'i cents for 103 sacks; Fatk
Mercantile company rejected 22 cents
for 54 sacks and John Gray 1S cents
for Ills clip.
These wools were ranch clips and of
higher grade than those offered at th.
forenoon sale.
ter tinker advisement and will decide
before the trial la ended.
The contention made by Attorney
Chance and Tlyde for the defendant Is
that the Indictment Is defective for
the reason that It docs not Include all
the names of the complainants when
those names were within the knowl
edge of the grand jury or the witnesses
before the grand Jury.
. The first Indictment against Mnr
cum was dismissed on about the same
grounds for the Instrument did not
contain the names of the members of
the Bourne Miners' union, a muttml
association not Incorporated. Dhitrlct
Attrrr'-v Lomnx then took the case
before the grand jury and a new In
dictment was returned containing the
names of sb-ut a' dozen 0'flcfrs and
metrhers of tVe union.
'.When the case was called IVs morn
las and Treasurer Manx of the union
was- on the stand, TMstrlet Attorney
Lomnx nsked him as to the number
of members of the union. Here the at
torneys for the defense asked a few
questions nnd elicited from Manx that
he, Man, knew the names of nil the
members of the union or had access
to them. The defense then moved
that the Indictment be quashed as It
was deefctlve on that ground.
The court took the motion under
consideration saying he would pass
upon it before the trial ended. DIs.
trlct Attorney Lomax then proceeded
to show that the membership of the
union was continually changing.
OUF.GOX FOSSILS.
Dr. Thomas- Condon Writes of n Pre
historic Seal.
The laft Issue of the Fnlverslty of
Oregon Bulletin Is devoted to an ac
count of a new seal fossil by Professor
Thomas Condon, the venerable pale
ontologist of the Pacific coast, says
n Fugene dispatch.
The lossil Is catalogued as Permato-
phoea Oregonensls and Is of Interest to
geoloels'.s all over the world as being
the oldest fossil of Its kind ever dis
covered and Is especially Important
since It goes far to substantiate the
theory that certain marine carnlvora.
like the seal family, took their origin
from terrestrial carnlvora of the dog
family or Its ancestors. The opinion
of Huxley nnd Mlvnrt that seals ore
derived from bears Is practically de
stroyed by the new fossil seal, since It
was dls"ovred In a mlocene formation
of randstone much older than any
known formation containing bear fol
slls. The bulletin containing Professor
Condon's discovery will be sent to
scientists throughout the country' and
will constitute the most Important
contribution to paleontology of the
last 10 years.

killed by an explosion of powder In a

some powder and left their work at
noon. Returning they went to work
again when one hatch of powder ex

partner, but not seriously.
The wounded men were brought to
the surface where Lantey died In a

(iOOI) BLACKSMITHIXG COAL.
W-ii-ovprort Xcur Hnyrrrok. In Crook
County.
The Madras Pioneer has the follow
Ing to say of an important discover?'
McFlroy A Sot,s, blacksmiths a
this place, are using coal f-nm Crook
county mines In their slion. find the;
pronounce It as good for their purpose
as the coal which they have been
hauling In from the railroad. The
coal comes from the recent coal pros
pect discovery five miles southeast
from Haycreek, where a large amount
of prospect work Is under way. Pros
pect holes have been sunk at different
points and It Is claimed that coal hs
been uncovered for a distance of five
miles. Work Is being concentrated
now at a point five miles southeast of
Haycreek, and two shifts are kept at
work.
Should these coal measures be found
to be as extensive as has been report
ed, the discover;' will be of immense
importance to Crook county, and in
fact to this section of the slate. It Is
claimed that the ledge of coal Is fully
five feet In thickness and that It has
been followed for a distance of five
miles. All tests made of the conl have
proved highly satisfactory, although
these tests have so far necessarily been
confined to coal taken from naar the
surface The McElroys had about
1200 pounds of the coal brought over
to them and during the week there
have been numbers of visitors to their
shop, to see them use the Crook coun
ty coal In their blacksmith work.

The I'nlted states consul at Berlin
reports that dennturlzed alcohol sells
In that city for 30 cents per gallon.
As grain and potatoes are one-third
higher In Germany than here, It Is
evident the alcohol should sell In the
grain and potato states of the Union
at not more than 20 cents per gallon.
For fuel purposes this Is said to be
equivalent to gasoline at 8 to 10 cents
per gallon. The taking of the tax off
alcohol promises lo be a boon to the
