Kendrick,
Idaho – J.S. Falls, better known to the people of this country as “Old
California”, shuffled off this mortal coil last Friday morning. A little more
than six months ago he was sentenced to the Nez Perce county jail for selling
liquor to the Indians, and about two weeks after the completion of his sentence
he died of heart failure. His remains were interred at Lewiston last Saturday at
the county's expense. And now every time the eye gazes upon the little log cabin
in Brady Gulch, the memory will recall many peculiar incidents in his checkered
career, says the Times. |

| A dispatch from Kendrick, to the
Spokane Spokesman Review, dated February 28: The coroner’s inquest over
the body of David T. Kellogg, whose corpse was found lying by the side
of the Northern Pacific track here about 6 p.m. yesterday, was
concluded at noon today and a verdict of suicide was returned. But
little evidence was introduced other than as to his identity and the
finding of his body. The body was found by the engineer of the Northern Pacific freight which had stopped and been sidetracked here while the crew ate supper. The engineer in returning to the train stumbled over the body of a man. Lights were obtained and it was discovered that the body was that of Kellogg who had been seen shortly before standing on the edge of the depot platform. The body was still warm. The man was lying on his face, with the blood flowing from his mouth and nose. Examination showed that he had been shot just above the heart, and that apparently death had been almost instantaneous. In the back part of the caboose was found a small pool of blood on the floor, and close by a 38-calibre revolver, with one shell exploded. It was evident that Kellogg had shot himself inside the car and then staggered outside and died. Kellogg was about 33 or 34 years old, and is said to have come from Seattle about a year ago. For a year he worked for Charles Angel in the Fountain saloon in Lewiston. Six months ago Kellogg was married to Miss Carrie Cooper of Vineland. Soon after his marriage Kellogg began drinking heavily and was discharged by Angel about two months ago. Since then he has not been able to get any work, and himself and wife have quarreled. While in Colfax about two weeks ago it is reported that Kellogg gave his wife a severe beating, and that she left him on that account. Kellogg went to Lewiston, and failing to get work there, went to Moscow and Pullman, and, failing to secure a position at those places or in Kendrick, wrote his wife a threatening letter. Yesterday when the passenger train passed Kendrick Mrs. Kellogg was on the train and locked herself up in the toilet room of the back coach. On the way down she had told the trainmen and others she was afraid of her husband, and expected that he would try to search the train if he had any suspicion that she was on it. Kellogg had been heard to say that unless matters changed for the better he would kill himself. When the body was found there was no money in the pockets.

| JULIAETTA – Peo Peo Mox-Mox, a sub-chief and one
of the best known of the Nez Perce Indians, was killed at the Lapwai race track
yesterday, where the Indians were holding their annual July celebration. It
seems Mox-Mox was riding one of his race horses, which became unmanageable and
ran into a barbed wire fence with him, cutting him so badly that he died.
During the Nez Perce war Mox-Mox was a firm friend of the whites and rendered
General Howard valuable aid. He owned one of the finest Indian farms on the
reservation, two miles from this place. Source: Idaho Statesman - July 12, 1898 Submitted by Marla Zwakman |
