FROM CALISPEL.
The First Fourth OF July Celebration
--LoCal Politics ImIni gratiOn.

CALIsPEL, July ., Correspondence
The first Fourth of July celebration has
occurred in Calispel. Too much praise
cannot be given the ladies for the decor
alton of the hall and elegant dinner and
supper that was served to 100 guests.
With the exception of IA few remarks by
Mr.. Whitlock part of the day and all of
the night was devoted to dancing. The
stands selling ice cream, lemonade,
candy, nuts and cake did a lively busi-
ness with the thirty Indian guests as
well as with the whites.
The celebration at Chattaroy was the
greatest it ever had--JO0 quests and over
forty couples dancing at one time in Mr.
Cowgill's hail. The whole community
fully appreciated the efforts made by
Mr.. and Mrs Cowgirl to make the enter
tainmcnt a success.
A Sunday school has been organized
and it is quite probable that the children
will now have taught to them the al
most unknown truths of the scripture.
School affairs still languis on account
of the scattered condition of the school
children and the difficulty of locating
school houses.
There is almost as much diplomacy in
local politics here as in n European con-
gress and as much tact shown in trying
to secure the "balanCe of power"
A Calispcl rancher has sold the cut of
100 acres of meadow for $50. Both land
and hay are rapidly increasing in value.
Immigrants are rapidly arriving into
this section; but Spokane Falls and the
counties tributary to ii should exert
still greater efforts i'll advertising the
grand opportunities that this section of
fers to immigrants from all parts of the
world. Spokane Falls and the adjacent
counties should have published in some
of the leading European and American
papers carefully prepared advertise
mcnt showing the almost unrivsled
natural resources of this region that are
waiting the arrival of labor and capital
TO develop them.

That n. p. warehouse Removal.

1t turns out that the injunction, pro-
cured by Councilman Belts Saturday
night, restraining the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company from removing one
of their warehouses into stevens street,
was rather premature and entirely un-
necessary. The company had no inten-
tiOn of moving the warehouse into the
street, but the real intention was to
move it back from Washington street
out ofthc way, for the convenience and
accommodation of tho city, and the
foundation was already prepared for it
in the rear of the elevator between Stew
ems and Howard streets. Mr.. Bettis did
not know this, hence the matter ap-
pearcd to him rather suspicious. When
ho learned of the true situation, he
stopped proceedings against the COM
paIlY, and the papors Mcrr not served.

HER GOOD NAME.
Mrs. witkind I'm Court for Horsewhip,
ping r.. l.. Syarts.


Simon WitKind and his wife were he.
fore Judge Curry yerterday charged with
committing AN assault upon Il. l..
Swarts.
II appears that Mrs. Witkind ap.
preached Swarts Tuesday about noon in
front of Knights bookstore on Howard
street and demanded AN explanation
concerning certain statements lac was
said to have made assaiiing her charac.
ter, and after Swartz had made some re-
ply she drew horsewhip out of her par
asol and struck him with IL. He grabbed
the whip with one hand and struck her
with the other on the nose, when her
husband rushed across the street and at
tempted to hit Swartz with cane. AZ
this juncture tho police interfered and
took WitRind and his wife into custody.
Judge Nash appeared for the defense
and asked for "a continuance, owing to
the absence of an important witness.
Lawyer Ridpsth, prosecuting attorney,
acguiesced, and the court set the trial
for Tuesday next.
T.. L. Swarts was also before the same
court charged with having assaulted
Simon Witkind with a deadly weapon.
Tuesday evening about D o'clock,
Swarts met Witkind i'm Seigles cigar
store, in the Frankfurt block, when he
pulled billet out of his pocket and
struck Witkind heavy blow ON the
head. The latter, picking up a heavy
cane, in return dealt Swarts u severe
blow ON the head, after which they
clinchcd and hard fight .ensued.
Captain Martin aud officer McKeanan,
after considerable difficulty, separated
the two men and Swarts was placed
under arrest and held until bail was
furnished. As his case was so closely
associated with that of Witkinds, and
the same attorneys were engaged on the
case, it was continued with the other tc
the same date,
The parties are all out under bonds oi
$3.50 each.

Kept Pace with tho city.

FTOIN ITIV VICgOIlINTI,
There is no better evidence of the
marvellous growth and prosperity of SEo-
kane Falls than the appearance of the
leading paper of that city, The REVIEW,
which has come to Us in new dress
printed for the first time from stereotype
plates and on new Goss pcrfeCting
press, capable of turning out "a, 600 com
plete papers every hour. IL is now an
eight-paGe, fiity-six-column paper has
the associated press dispatches and a
large special service; its editorials are
timely and evince good judgment; and
the local and special articles which meet
the eye show careful work by trained
men. The REVIEW has true metropol-
itan appearance, and the rapid improve
mcnt which IL has made in the past year
would be wonderful in any other city
than Spokane Falls. There it has but
kept pace with the growth of the city.

A CELEBRATED CASE.
Attorney Mitchell, OF the Northern
Pacific, Thinks the Company the


MIR. John II. Mitchell, Jr., attorney
for the Northern Pacific, was, Yesterday
evening, asked by q REVIEW reporter 10
explain the status Of the suit Of Cowley
VS.. the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, involving title TO 40 acres of land
in this city, south of the railroad track,
on a portion of which Shantytown is
situated.
Mr.. Mtchelfs statement of the situa-
tion was, in brief, as follows: The pres
ent litigation began in 1886. On the 10th
OF May, 1888, a settlement was effected
between Mr.. Cowley and wife and Land
Agent Schulze, whereby Mr.. Cowley was
to receive seven and one-half acres OF
land and 5000. amounting practically to
about S23, 600. In pursuance of the stipu-
lations agreed upon at that time decree
was issued out of the district
court to that effect. BY the terms of the
settlement, before mentioned, the
Northern Pacific was to send "A ccrtiii-
cate of sale of the seven and one
half acres of land and 5000 To the First
National bank of Spokane Falls before
the 10th of May, 1883, which they did.
he had changed his mind and refused to
accept 1t, and the money remains AT the
bank to this day, subject to Mr.. Cow
lcy's orders. Mr.. Cowley afterwards
brought suit to set aside the decree. The
referee in the case has reported his find.
ings, to the effect that Mr., Cowlev is not
entitled to have the decree set aside, and
that he made settlement himself with
Mr.. Schulze, with all the terms of which
the company has complied. Mr.. Mitchell
says that under our statutes upon any
motion before the court TO affirm or set
aside referees report the findings o
| the referee stand as the verdict of jury
Hence, Mr.. Mitchell considers the
referees report in this matter as much
victory for the company as If they had
been given favorable verdict by Jury
