The most sensational holdup in the histoiy of the Boundary -occurred7 at Midway about nine o'clock Tuesday evening. Charles L. Thomet, pro prietor of the Commercial hotel, was shot and killed by highwaymen, who nre thought to be the same pair that have been operating throughout the district lately. Two masked men entered the hotel quietly and covering Thomet with guns demanded him to throw up his hands. Thomet was behind the bar and while reaching for his revolver received a bullet in the chest and another in his shoulder. He quickly returned fire with two shots and then staggered through a side dooi into the dining room. The desperadoes left the bar but are'supposed-to have gone to a window and fired at Thomet again, as a bullet hole in the floor near where he lay would indicate. From blood found on the floor, one of the murders is thought to be seriously wounded. William B. Bower, who goes from Grand Forks to Midway to be in charge of the Midway branch of the E. T. bank there one day . a week, was an eyewitness. We print below his evidence given at the inquest held on Wednesday. William B. Bower���Am a banker, rebide in Grand Forks. I was at Thomet's hotel close to or a few minutes earlier than nine c'clock in the evening.. Deceased, Archie McDou- galland George Henderson were in room. I was standing at north end of bar looking from door. I casually tutneU-����_ __*. ,_o-____ked. men. They had blue masks on. Each had a gun pointing towards deceased/- Deceased was standing at end of bar about eighteen feet from me. I saw a motion of deceased to pick .up. pistol which was near his hand. Deceased picked same up and fired instantly in direction of two masked men, who returned the fire instantly by two shots. Can't say which man fired or whether both fired. The man nearest me covered me first for a moment, then dropped his gun to his side, then both went out of the door quietly as they came in. I made for the wall nearest the street so that if they shot back into the room I would not be exposed. Saw they could still pot me, and hurried to dining room door, deceased being crouched beside door, I presumed in position to fire if they showed up again. I went into dining room passed him and said "don't shoot; it is me." He didn't answer. After passing him I went around to back of sideboard, thinking it a place of safety, and deceased was on his back bleeding from wound in neck. McDougall and Mrs. Thomet then rushed in. To Jury���Thomet was partly covered by bar. 1 hink Thomet fired another shot, but it had no effect as men had gone. After two shots fired by masked men Thomet crouched down behind the bar where he was standing, and, I believe, fired a shot from that po.uion Then he backed into dining room, crouching down. The shot in the dining room was fired before I left the wall. Deceased did not speak after masked men appeared. Deceased did not speak to men and men did not ���peak to him. Do not know if the masked men went round to front part and shot into dining room. Do not know who masked men were. Both about the same size. Seemed well sized men in dark clothes. Eye-holes iu line and guns well in line. Deceased had j>un in his hand when I passed him going into dining room. A number of residents were quickly on the scene after the sh o i-.ig. The strangers had been noticed sizing up business places, and at the Spokane hotel the occupants were expecting and all armed for the holdup when they heard the shots at Thomet's. Chief Constable Devitt arrived from Nelson Wednesday evening with blood hounds, and started with a posse of a dozen or more men on the hunt for the bandits. Blood was found in the woods about ten miles west ot Midway on the Rock Creek road, which was supposed to be from the wounded highwayman. ��� The blooJ hounds were started from there on Thursday afternoon. The provincial government offer a reward of $1000 for the capture of the murderers. The late Mr. Thomet was a native of Switzerland and in his 49th year. He came to this district if. years ago and for a number of years was a pro^ vincial constable. As a marksman he Rev. F. J. Rutherford of Greenwood has gone to Toronto for a month. The flag was raised at the Greenwood public school with ; due! eclat on Monday. t' -.-, ^ ���..,:, C. McCague and N.

Boundary Falls school was re-opened on Monday morning.-'. .At 3 p.m. a program was rendered, and a social followed. W. D. Jones, the man who had his spinal column fractured at the Grand Forks smelter some months ago, died last week.

They had been fishing and in crossing a foot bridge, near the Granby smelter, the girl, the younger of the two, apparently, fell and her brother; in att-mptuig 10 rescue her was also drowned. MINING IN THE COEUR D'ALENE J. L. Martin Visits the Famous District Tells of Coeur D'AIenes and Carney Copper Boundary Mining Notes A new and impoved steel sharpener was installed at the Gold Drop this week by the Granby company.

MNISTEEOF MINES III GAMP ..._-^. Hon. W. Templeman and W/R. Brock Shown Through the Granhy Mines Yesterday Hon. William Templeman, minister of mines, and W. R. Brock, director of the geological survey branch. department of mines, were visitors in Phoenix yesterday and made an inspection of mining development generally in the camp. They are making a tour of the mines of the province, having visited the Kootenay and Rossland camps before arriving in the Boundary.- On Friday they visited theGranby smelter and ar rived here in the evening,, coming in over the Great Northern in their Canadian government. private car, accompanied by A. B. W. Hodges, manager of the Granby company. During the evening they were visited at their car by O. E. LeRoy and A. H. Boyd and the progress in the field work of the survey party discussed. Messrs. LeRoy and Boyd, with about twelve assistant., are still working in camp with headquarters at the Snowshoe. The former is making a detailed survey of the geological structure of the productive area, wh-le the latter is making a detailed topograph map of the camp. Their work will not likely be completed until the end of September. Veslerday morning the minister and Mr. Brock were shown through the Granby mines and plant by Manager Hodges, being also driven to the Gold Drop. It is some four years since Mr. Templeman visited Phoenix, and he expressed much admiration in the many improvements which had been made by the company in carrying on the development of the great mineral resources. Although not a brisk walker the minister climbed the big Granby hill, and was much interested in the extent of the immense glory hole. Hon. Mr. Templeman and Mr. Brock, with their private secretary, Mr. Nichols, left at noon to drive to Midway, visiting the smelter of the B. C. Copper company while en route. At Midway they met their private car which had been sent round by the Great Northern, going through to Keremeos. From Keremeos they drive to Hedley to visit the Nickel Plate mine, and will continue their drive through by Princton and Nicola to reach the C.P.R. main line. "Since the financial panic of October, 1907, mining and mine development in the Coeur D'AIenes has been curtailed at least 50%," said J.L. Martin, on his return Wednesday from a trip to that famous district, and an inspection of the Carney mine, near Mullan, Idaho. "During the winter and early summer nearly all of the shippers and dividend . payers were closed down, throwing about 2,500 men out of work. Old settlers say that times have not been so hard since 1893-94. "The Morning mine at Mullan was closed down eight months. Since starting up two months ago it has kept adding to its crew until there are now 325 men employed. Last week this mine reported the most important strike since completing the two aiid one half mile tunnel about eighteen months ago, again demonstrating that the ore chutes in this section go to great depth. This discovery was made on the 1500- foot level. . It is reported that the LFederal company has just purchased the Hunter mine, one mile east of the Mullan. The price was not given out, but rumored to be close to $2,000,000. I made a short call at the Snowstorm mine and heard much of interest to shareholders from Leo. Greenough, the superintendent. Since starting up about six weeV. ago they have been working about 75 men, and shipping more ore than they did a year ago with 225 men. This is the only copper mine in the Coeur D'AIenes on the shipping list and has opened up a new field for mining with great possibilities. Enough was said to make it quite cer- ��� tain that the Snowstorm will resume j 3% a month dividends not later than October. -:>-:,. .;-.. ....���- "Yes, I was pleased with the new strike in the Carney mine. The ore is not of shipping quality at the point ��rhcr_>.l-.h��>croSJCtit" intcroo_to_l ... f}ilt finding this strike to t_��_ areai ledee. thirteen feet in width on the 425-foot level, when it was but little more than two feet on the 85 foot level shows it to be permanent and gives us the incour- agement to believe that soon we will enter an ore chute equal in richness to that found near the surface. It will require about 60 feet more crosscutting to. reach the ledge on this level, which we are driving for. "The Carney was first discovered and located in 1892. Owing to the low price of copper at that time and the prevailing belief that no minerals, except gold silver and lead, could be found iu the district, the locators, after doing some three or four months' work, allowed it to lapse. It was relocated two years ago last January, after the Snowstorm had proved copper existed in the district in paying quality and quantities. I bonded the property August 24th, 1906, and after spending about $3,500 in development work, interested W. D. Greenough and others ���well known and experienced mining men���and incorporated the property Dec. 3, 1906. At that date we had tunnel No. 1 in on the 85-foot level, including crosscuts 225 feet, ana naa cut the blind ledge of now two feet wide which carried about 3% copper and some silver. We also found copper glance and borenite in connection with this ledge. Since then we have run tunnel No. 2 in 835 feet with 285 feet of crosscutting on the 425-toot level, where we had cut four ledges and are still cross-cutting for the main iron- capped ledge, under which we expect find silver and lead at some point. Mr. Carson, our superintendent says: 'I will not consider 25c. per share for my stock.' Mr. Hewston, the expert, says: 'The Carney property has the ear marks of a mine.' Mr. Cole, one of the best miners in the Coeur d'- Alenes has completed two contracts��� one for 300 feet, and one for 200 feet, for which he accepted one third pay in stocK���and last Monday signed a contract for 200 feet more, for which he takes all stock. My advice to shareholders _s���'Hold your stock.'" W. S. Keith, formerly smelter superintendent for the Montreal and Boston Copper Co., Boundary Falls, B.C., has opened offices in Seattle, Wash., as consulting mining engineer and metallurgist. The work of the geological survey party in Phoenix camp still goes on under Messrs. LeRoy and Boyd, with headquarters at the Snowshoe property. Mr. Dickinson arrived last week from the east and is acting as chief draftsman.

Jf he stops here, he remains all his life long a drudge. But if he begins to see that business has a significance, that his life is not merely sweeping the store not merely selling goods; if he begins to see the higher life involved in business; if he begins to see that business is a greater instrument of beneficence than that we call beneficence, that trade is clothing-thousands of men where charity clothes ten, that agri cultural and milling are feeding thousands of men where charity feeds ten; if he begins to see huw.lie whole his, tory of the world is linked together, and is God's way of building humanity arid Vervihg humanity '���-a* he gets this larger'view,- and.enters into it, life is enriched and becomes itself the mini- stei whereby love is enlarged1 and conscience is strengthened," the school wherein he is educated out of the lower into the higher. The oak if in the middle ol the forest, which is surrounded on every side by trees that shelter and shade it, run-up tall and sickly; put away from its protectors and the first blast will overturn it. But the same tree growing iii the open field, wheie it is continually,-beat upon by the tempest, be- its own protector. So the man who is compelled to" rely on his own resources forms an independence of character to which he could riot otherwise have at tained. Therefore prefer rather to climb up hill with difficulties than to roll down with inglorious ease. MOTHER Mrs. K. Kane, of Chicago, Uses Pe-ru-na in her family of five children, Grace, Myrtle, Edward EDWARD ���*"*&__:.���' & P��-ru-na In the Home. After all,experience Is tho best teacher. Borne doctors may write In favor of Peruna. Other doctors may write agnlnst It. But ltis tho testimony ot the mothers nnd fathom who ��ru rearing fatqillo.. who love their children, who rnn��t economise aa to doctor bills, who are raising little boys and stria |nto;mcn and women of the future, it U the testimony Ot such people that really counts. There is no way to positively ascertain bow many families in the United State* rely upon Peruna for the many climatic ailments to which tlie family is subject. Tlie number must be a great one. Sever-" pi millions perhaps. They )iave learned flow to use Peruna-tor ordinary ailments, and In tha^ yray %ro guarding their homes against more serious diseases. Such ailments as coqghg and colds, ���ore throat ang catarrh, croup and colic, Indigestion and Iobs of appetite,-anemia and nervousness, all those ailments are promptly relieved by a few doses ot f*eruna at ihe right time. Millions pf provident mothers and fathers are guarding the Interests' of the borne by using Dr. Hartman _i great pamedy, and profiting by his medical booklets and personal advice. w Reeves George A Healthy [^mily Catarrh al Stomach: Kept the Children Well. Mrs. K, Kane. 196 Sebor St., Flatl j Chicago, III., writes: "Peruna has been used so long in our family that I do not know how I could get along without it. "I have given it to all of my five children at different times wnen they suffered with croup, colds and the many ailments that children, are subject to, and am pleased to say that it has* kept them in splen did health. > ��� "I have also used it for a catarrhal difficulty of long standing, and it cured me in a short time, so I have every treason to praise Catarrhal Croup. Few people realize how frequently croup is caused'by catarrhal congestion of the throat, Probably nine cases outof tgn of croup is of the catarrhal variety. _?hg medical profession recognizes three forms of croup. The ppasmodicva- riety, membranous croup und catarrhal croup. Nearly every case is of tho catarrh al variety, and a few doses of Peruna taken at the first appearance of the catarrhal symptoms U generally sufficient to avert tho attack of croup altogether. Croup is a f:-i;_;htfiil disease. No disease of children _o alarms the houe;i-hold. It is impossible to estimate how many homes hare been protected against croup by the proper use of Pernna, Household Remedies, There is no remedy in the world which has prqven so popular for catarrh as Peruna. l\ has been used for more than thirty years and. cured thousands of cases, as prpyen by our testimonials. In the early history of this, country every family had its "home-made medicines. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics were to bo found in' ulmoBt every house, compounded by the housewife. sometimes assisted by the apothecary or ths family doctor. Furnishing medical compounds direct to the people, through the druggists j is simply the extension of the practice begun by tho people themselves. Nervous System a Wreck. John O. Hirdler, Garfield, Kan., writes: "On December 2, 1899, I was injured by a fall on the Santa _?e R. R., and my entire nervous system was Impaired by the same. The help of a physician was useless. I believe I tried every one iu the viciuity, but all were alike sad I Mr. John M. Stansberry, Amarillo, Tex., writes: "For several years I had catarrh of the stomach. I was hardly ;?able to1,do anything, and could not.eat with ai.yjsati_fact.6nn~ ! | ' When I commenced using Peruna, I weighed I on lyi.10%oi.nds. 1h took jsix bottles, commencing In the springyand-by-the-fo!lowing winter I,had gained 63 pounds.

I am seventy-one years old, and my work on the railroad is hard and tedious, but I bah work like a young man in all kinds of weather, heat, cold. rain, snow "or storm alike. "Peruna is the purest and best medl: cine, and if used according to directions, it will h.lp any persciri and cure any disease for which it is recommended. I recommend this medicine by my own experience to any one suffering from an ailment on the order of mine." For, Herself and Children. Mrs. Aline DePasse, 776 E.il65t_i St.; New York, N.
