I wanted losee if uny pet-sun wus on that side uf the house, und then Intended In return und go into Ihe ulliee. I saw one person walking baekwai-d nnd forward near the office sleps, but Ihe morning being dnck I could not 1-ccugiltzo who it was. 1 watched about a nilnilto, nml then Miss Mc. Keimlo ciiino to tlie kitchen door anil culled to mo. I .vent to ivherc she stood. She excitedly snid, " There are men hammering In the olllco. I think lhey are robbing it. Get your pistol and go outslda and shool and frighten them away," or words to that elfcct. I rushed outside to the north-oust corner of the house, winsome une standing close to the otHcc door nnd a horse standing within reach nt the office steps. I thought t Ills person wns whispering to sonic one in the olliee, and Hint the hammering anil talking we had all heard must have conic from at least, two people inside of tlie office. I Ili-cil three shots; heard sonic one Hhout "Slop I Slop! Let's get out of this!" and also " I'm hit in the urni!' The person then disappeared around the corner of the house, and about, a ininiite later I saw for the Hrst lime two persons nlioul .1(1 yards uwuy on the slcighroi.it lending soulh and to the hotel. I fired three more shots, then .vent up to the ofilcc door and found it looked. 1 then went into the house and inlii the olilce. Miss McKeuzie came in with a light. 1 examined tlie safe ami found it all right. I spoke to Mrs. McMynn. and went back to bed exhausted and shivering with cold. I have not tried to shield myself from any responsibility in this matter at any time. My own statement Is the only evidence against, inc. 1 Inld bolh Constable Deans and L'onsUihlc Glklus when I lirst snw thein iu the morning thnt I did the shooting, and later explained the matter to VV, H. Norris, J. P., of Midway, also asked Mr. Norris afterwards Ui act as he thought host. (linisuiblc Deans has suited what he did. and I think lie acted properly Mr. Hood also hns had every opportunity to prosecute If ho so wished. 1 am ccrUiln neither ho nor Mr. Lewis have any hard feel lugs against mc, and I assure j our worship I ..oulil much rather have been wounded than wound Mr. Hood. This province hns been my home since HUM. I have been provincial con stable since Itilht, and always have tried to perform my duties us such without fear or favor ,o any one, und now I do not expect or wish lor anything fairer. Thereby, however, I have ..1.11I0 sonic enemies, uud lliis unfortunatenll'air uns been used by somo as a mentis to retaliate. Tlio Urccnwood City mooting on the 1st inst. is un instance. 111111 told that only » few were nsked there; thai the majority of the citizens hoard nothing about it until it was ovor, and that one of the committee, Mr. Hreslaur.opciily sUttcd thnl 1 hail wronged him, and that ho wanted lo gel even with me, und would willingly subscribe *,1IM for Ihal purpose. Sueh conduct is, ui say tho least, very contemptible. Mc. Hood is 1011 certain exlenl lo blame. First, in coming lo tho olllco at the time ho did, as the record of liis claim would on equally as gooil if inailo within Id nays aftor location as If made within lj iniiiutis. under tlie present mineral acl. Secondly, by alarming nil ilm family by lho noise, which It is clearly shown In lho evidence, uc made; also having Ids horse at the ulliee door, wliell there is a hitching posl n few yards 1. way, thorehy giving further grounds of suspicion thnt the intent was to rob llio office, and ns wc, liis failure to knock nt the door or otherwise i-t me know who it was and what was wauCOu, Sccllon 52 of the Uri111i11.il t'odc reads as fol- lows: "KveryutiO wlio is 111 peaceable possession of a dwelling house, uud everyone lawfully assisting him, or acting uy his authority, Is Justified 111 using such ruroo ns Is necessary to prevent the forcible creaking and enlerllig uf inch dwelling houso, oy night, hy nny pors if he belle, es 011 reasonable or probable grounds that such breaking and enlerllig Is attended with the Intent to commit any indictable offence (heroin.' 1 wns completely misled by ull the clrciun- slasccs lu the case, concerning lhe fuels, and can only thus, uml by the condition I.vos in, explnl y actions, I admit I acicd altogether contrary to my usual methods, anil thai no one cm be more sorry than I am about Ihe matter, My object wits U. prevent nil oll'onco being committed.

If unly une of Hit niiiuy lines uf railways projected lo lap this northern country, its the people of Spokane Bay, will Imt ciiuie iilung litis summer, Ihen all will he well with us. The latest aspirant for the tuide nf this part uf British Cnhuuhiii is said tu lie IheO. It. nnd N., which proposes, if rumors current are correct, tn extend its system liy starling frum ils inain lineal, ell her Umatilla, nr Wnllulnand following up the wesl side of the Columbia river through thecounties of Yakima and Kittitas, leaving the valley of ihe Colnniluual lhe southern hnumlury of Okanogan county and striking directly iiiitlh through lhat county to nearly llu* Canadian liuittidary line, frum whence the road is projected in nn easterly direction through the northern pnrl uf the nurlli half uf the Colville reservation as far as the Kettle river, nnil thence north crossing ihe bound- ary line at, a point near Boundary creek. Shuuld this prujecl he carried intu execution, a glance at Ibe limp of Ihe United Slates and British Columbia would disclose lhe enormous exlenl of virgin territory lhat would he brought into touch With such a railway, as lie- sides passing through it rich agricultural cnuntry, it wuuld come within reach of eiiurinous mineral hearing regions, within which many flourishing camps are now in existence, the nut liy any means least important nf which are Ihnse uf Boundary creek. ► « . The famous Paris Belle case is destined lu hecuine still inure su, judging frum the teuiarks dropped hy the supreme cuurt judges, before whom the appeal is now being argued. It will he remembered that when the case came befure Chief Justice Davie, Ihe definition uf mineral in place was held tu mean mineral between two well- dettiied walls. The supreme court, it wuuld seem, is mil, inclined to this view, holding that, walls are nut necessary in establish the exlstepce uf mineral in a mine, Allot her point that has been determined Is lhat. the abandonment of it claim dues not necessarily imply tlmt I'oi'in.il notice must be given, but thai ll. limy consist of a determination nf mind, evidence nf which may he uf. forded hy words dropped in ordinary conversation. .... ii- ... .ii \Kiai i.i, id'JIi LOCAL AND DISTKIOT, Mr. Harry Guess returned from' a trip to Fairview on Sunday's stage.
