Arrest at milwaukee,.
Especial Telegram to the GIobel
MILWAUKEE, May 1O.-There is quite a
romance in connection with the arrest of
the Chicago swindler, Lindsmore, alias
Watkins, which has not heretofore been
made public. Lindsmore, it will be re-
membered, came here month or so ago
and by representing himself to be man
of means, succeeded in swindling a num-
Der of persons out of several thousand
dollars altogether. He put up at the
Plankinton house and cut quite dash.
Lindsmore is really no ordinary swindler.
He is tall, handsome fellow of aristo-
cratic bearing, about &c years of age, and
has every appearance of having been
reared gentleman. He claims that he is
the son of rich New Yorker, and admits
that Lindsmore is not his right name. It
is alleged that he operated in Chicago
year ago under the name of Watkins and
succeeded in euchering number of persons
out of large sum of money. Well, soon
after his arrival here he met very
handsome and stylish young lady, Miss
Dora Lehman, of good family, to whom
he began paying his addresses. His ap
pearance was so favorable and his address
so successful that they were soon to be
married, and this fact only leaked out to-
day, when Miss Lehman visited the police
station and asked to see the prisoner. 1t
is learned that they have been together
great deal, and that Miss Lehman is very
much wrapped up, so to speak, in the
young rascal. Your correspondent hap
pened to be at the station soon after the
young lady visited it, and in TINS way the
thing leaked out. The police have worked
up strong case against the man, and he
will, doubtless, get long term in prison
for his rascalitv

We took squint through the new
building on Mill street, just being
completed by Orchard & Sayre and
Harry La BoyteanX Sunday. As
will be observed from the street the
edifice shows up like a boil on mans
nose, and when you once get into it
there seems to be no diminutiOn in
the size. On the ground floor are
two large rooms that have been di-
vided by light partition in four
apartments. The first one to the
south is soccupied by Orchard & Sayre,
two industrious young saddle and
harness makers who are carrying a
large assortment Of leather goods.
We may add in this connection that
the firm is desirous Of extending
their thanks to the public for past
patronage and will be glad to see all
those in want Of anything in their
line at their new quarters. In the
north room Harry La BOyteaux, our
old painter, will be found. Besides
his paint establishment he has pur-
chased and will have for sale one OF
the choicest lots of wall paper that
have ever been OfFeredin this market.
TIE goods will embrace ey Ming
from the cheapest grades to d. tngh-
est priced pannel and fresco paper.
Up over the paint shop the second
story has been cut up into rooms for
a residence. The upper story over
the harness shop is in the shape of a
hall, and would make II pleasant
room for almost any line Of business.
The basement extends the full length
and breadth Of the immense build
ing, and there is some talk Of con-
verting it into beer hall. There is
a large room under the sidewalk that
can be used for the storage of fuel.
The proprietors can well afford to be
pleased with the house from cellar to
garret, and we guess they are.

drifted out in the gold fields to try
his luck. The Eagle is owned by
Olympia and Seattle capitalists.
There has as yet been but little work
done on the Olympia mine, but the
size of the ledge and quality Of ore
is similar to that Of the other mines.
Numerous other lodges are in sight
of the Smith and Eagle mines, in
short the ore seems to exists in the
district in inexhaustible quantities,
and if the ore pans out one half as
well as is perdicted by those on the
ground this will be one of the live
liest mining camps within twelve
months on the Pacific coast. AT pres
ent there are not more than ten white
men in the cut of. Many are going
in while others have been kept back
through fear of the Indians. Not
more than 80 or 60 Indians can be
found on the whole of Moses reser-
walton, and those met were as peace
able as children. Chief Moses has no
influence with them whatever, and
he is branded as fraud of the worst
sort. The facilities for mining and
reducing quartz in this district can
not be surpassed on the coast. There
is enough water in the MeleOmine
river with the necessary fall IN run
ten thousand stamps the year round,
while wood and water exists in suffi-
cient quantities to last for years for
mill and building marterial. The
Okanagan and Melcomine rivers,
with few hundred dollars expand
ed in blasting out rock, can Il5lade
navigable for small steam boats from
the Columbia to within one hundred
feet of the mines.
We may add in connection that
party Of soldiers are now on the way
north to open Il road hrom COlville to
the cut off and that Gen. Sherman is
to visit the country in person next
month to examine into the feasibility
of locating military post on the
AsoyOos Lake, within few miles Of
the mines. When this isaccOmplish-
ed there will be a plain, easy travel
ing road all the way from Spokane
Falls to the mines.

Wise.

Mr. Cannon struck the key note
Monday night in the City Council
when he suggested that more direct
benefit would be derived by the city
through repairing the county roads
leading into and radiating from here
than would the expenditure Ofthous-
ands Of dollars on the streets. There
is no doubt in our mind as to the cor
rectness of this statement. From all
we can learn farmers for miles around
would far rather come into Spokane
Falls to do their trading and sell
their produce than go to any other
place. Yet at the same time those
men will not undergo the inconven-
ience, trouble and loss, also, Of trav-
cling over rough, broken and miser-
able roads just for the pleasure of
spending their money at the Falls.
We also are told that a number of
the roads referred to are just in the
condition stated, and if left so will
be great drawback to the trade Of
the city this fall. 1t will not require
great amount of money to put
these roads in good shape, and we do
not believe there is man so narrow
minded as to object to spending the
money collected on road tax for the
purpose of improving these high
ways. 1t is matter that should be
taken hold Of without delay, as it is
not long until travel will be heavy.
We hope that work will be pushed
forward on every road branching out
toward the country, and that if the
tax collection is not sufficient to ac-
complish the desired repairs that a
voluntary subscription will be levied
to complete the work.

Now that the second story has
been reached on Mayor Glover's new
block at the corner Of Howard and
Fourth streets the result Of every
days work is more apparent. The
walls have climbed far above the
upper windows and by next week
will be ready for the roof. Already
one can form an idea as to what the
building will look like when COM
pleted, and those who expected
something unusually neat will not
be disappointed. The ornamental
tions are striking and will be much
more so when the tower takes form.
The workmen spread themselves in
the decorations Of the arched door
way leading into the bank. The
windows are to be Of solid pieces Of
plate glass, while the doors are the
best that could be procured in the
San Francisco Market The store
rOOm adjoining the bank Is a perfect
gem, and is to be occupied by Mr..
Brown, who expects 10 open a ladies'
bazaar with as largo a stock as has
ever been brought into the North
west.

The professional and business men
Of Spokane Falls have shown their
appreciation Of our efforts and have
come forwafn with advertisements
in a liberal manner. We believe
that in so doing they are helping
themselves while aiding us. The
kindly words Of encouragement and
assistance are fully appreciated, and
we shall ever aim to 50 conduct the
REVIEW as to give them no cause
for regretting that they contributed
to Its support. OF course all our
business interests are not represent
ed, but it is only a question OF time
for those nOn-advertisers to realize
that advertising is a paying invest
ment. We cheerfully recommend
every branch Of business appearing

The ring Of carpenter tools is max.
ing a fearful din about the N. p. Ho.
tel, and under the hands Of a large
force Of mechanics the house is un.
dergOing a marked change for the
betterA We have had occasion be-
fore to remark that Landlord Grim
mer was putting a heap Of money in
improvements about his inn, and we
are not here to take it back. A fine
veranda has been extended about
the building, and on the inside the
entire Main street front has been cut
into one large room which is to sup
ply the place for an office, bar and
a billiard table. Nell. has purchased
the latest improved billiard table,
and lovers Of that interesting game
are bound to fall in love with it..
Work is being hurried along so as to
be completed by the first Of the
month and on the 4th Of July Grim
mer proposes to have a grand open
ing Of the house. The date is well
chosen for an occasion Of the kind
and II VIII prove a rcd-letter day In
the history Of the n. p. Hotel.

That busy contractor and builder
|. T. Benham has his hands full just
now If he ever had them full in his
life. He was the successful bidder
for putting through the Union Block,
has the contract for the construction
of Rima's brick and Is the winner in
the figuring for French's building.
That he is capable Of handling the
buildings no one doubts, as his ex-
perience Of quarter of a century, in
that business fits him for an under
taking of the kind were 1t twice as
great. Mr.. Benham has planted
foundations in the rocky soil Of Ne
vada. He has reared brick walls on
the sands Of San Francisco, and
since his residence here has done
something in the same line, not to
mention at all his exploits among the
soils Of several Eastern States. The
contracts that he is experimenting
to-day total up to over $4,000. To
aid in securing material for the jobs
he is now about to burn a kiln of
100000 brick east Of the city, and has
contracted for the delivery Of 60O,-
900 from other parties engaged at
brickmaking. 1t is his intention to
have the work he is now on complet-
ed by next fall, feat he will accom-
plish sure.

The citizens Of Pennington made
arrangements to celebrate and in
order to meet the requirements Of
the day came down to the Falls to
secure an orator. They fortunately
succeeded in gaining over our young
friend w. F. StOll, associate attorney
in the law firm Of Hyde & StOll, who
will do the talking on the occasion.
We believe the committee did well
in choosing Mr.. StOll, as he is a gen.
tleman Of pleasing address, vigorous
in his command Oflanguage and with
the fire of youth to strengthen him
in his efforts. We bespeak the citi-
zens Of Pennington a treat in their
Grafton at least, and only regret that
the big business here will prevent
our being present to hear the speech.

MATRIMONIAL INFELICITY


Saturday afternoon the denizens
Of Howard street were treated to O
matinee that had not been previous.
ly advertised, yet which, notwith.
standing, drew large and interest
ed audience. 1t was Indian VS.. In
dian this fine, and the natives can
find no fault with the intruding
whites, as they took as small part
in the difficulty as possible. In the
afternoon Of the day hereinbefore
mentioned two squaws, neither OF
whom FOrepaugh, or any other show
man, would have selected to repre-
sent the queen Of beauty, became in
volved in a heated dispute in front
Of Lawson Bros. store, on Main
street, over the possession of the af.
fections Of brave, who, in the Ian
gnage Of the good and great Artemus
Ward, was "too muchly" married.
The arguments were carried on in
the musical language of the Spok-
anes, much to the chagrin of the
neighbors, who could not catch on to
the richest part of the colloquy.
From the interest the women took
in each other 1t was plainly evident
that hurricane was brewing, which
would blow up trouble for some one.
In the midst of the discussion one of
the females managed to say some
thing a little more tart than the
other one had yet let go off, and feel
ing that woman's tongue, her usual
ly keenest weapon, was not Of suffic-
lent power to avenge the thrust the
insulted maid tossed her nimble fin
gers into the centre Of the physiog-
Onmy Of the other. Powder could
hardly have been more sudden in its
action. Slam bang they went at II
rough and tumble. The cause Of the
difficulty in the shape Of a powerful
buck had been standing by enjoying
the wordy war for the possession Of
his affection and did not deign to in
terfere until the squaws came to
blows when he stepped in and caused
suspension Of hOstilities. While
acting the part Of peacemaker one
Of the amazons, perhaps realizing
suddenly that he was unworthy of
her love, hauled off and loaned him
one along side the jaw. The blow
stung the Indian to the quick, and
he was about to retaliate when by
ISLANDERS prevented him. The man
was crazy mad. He walked into
Lawson's store, cooked his revolver,
a vicious looking weapon and started
out after the woman who had crossed
over to the Fife building. Going up
to her he drew his gun, but several
Indians grabbed him and in the
struggle the pistol was discharged,
the ball going through the side OF
Flies store, but fortunately doing
no injury. Some Of his friends at
tempted to walk him off, but carried
away by his passions he struggled
violently. Marshal Hyde and several
white men grappled the fellow, but
he was so powerful that it required
the utmost exertiOns to get him to
Jail. The same evening his case was
heard by Justice Whitman, but as
1t was a family affair the Judge did
not feel like mixing up in it, so dis
charged the prisoner with the In
junction to make himself very
scarce about the city in the future.

A SHORT time since ]. NJ. Willis
who Is connected with the land de.
partment Of the North Pacific road
in some capacity, visited Portland,
and during his sojOurn was cornered
by newspaper reporter and inter.
viewed. Mr.. Willis spoke in high
terms Of the, agricultural lands OF
Spokane county, and impaired con-
siderable Information, but for some
reason best known to himself ex-
pressed himself in the following
manner in answer to a question pro-
pounded by the scribe as to whether
the land was being taken by bona
tide settlers, or speculatOrs
"Now you touch me on sore spot.
My policy has always been TO sell
only TO actual residents, who would
directly benefit the railroad by sup
plying Immediate business. / have
sold mainly quarter section Of rail-
road and quarter of Government
land within railroad limits at $3.50
per acre, and outside at Sl.35, but
my policy has been ignored and set
mt naught by the land agent here,
who has persisted in selling section
after section of land to spectators,
to the exclusion Of actual settlers. 1t
is all wrong, but my strenuous pro-
tests are Of no avail ?"
Now this broad and open charge Is
. direct reflection upon Paul SehulEe,

THE local papers of Walla Walla
are complaining of the filthy con-
dition of that city and quote a state
ment Of physicians that the food
that lately visited the town of PEN
dleton was blessing in disguise as
1t swept the town of all filth, and
since that time the sanitary cOndi-
tion Of the place has been vastly i'm
proved. In this connection it would
be well to call the attention of the
authorities Of Spokane Falls to the
necessity of guarding well against an
accumulation of garbage, and the
permittance of nuisances.- So far the
city has been noted for its healthful-
ness, yet as it grows and people be-
come careless the seeds of disease
may be sOwn in the atmosphere by
the existence Of foul nuisances. Our
attention has been attracted in sew
tral quarters to most. disgusting
stenches arising from decayed mat
ter, cesspoOls and vaults, and the
natural consequence of such plague
spots is disease and death. If people
will not exercise care for their own
protection they should be forced to
consider the well fare Of neighbors.
Some decided steps should be taken
tDremedy evils of the kind now exist
ing and to prevent their repetition
in the future.
