find out what happened to him after that. He just disappears.</span></font></p>

the 1800's there was significant timber on the Palouse Hills. So much so
that Rockford Wa (located in southern Spokane County) was inundated with
loggers. The loggers tended to enjoy Saturday night and Rockford boasted
of the highest crime rate in the US for the period of time that logging went on
in the area. These crimes consisted primarily of murdering each other.(Spokane
