COUNTY DEMOCRATS
Twsnty-Six Delegates Were
Elected to Go to the State
Convention.
An Audacious Attempt at Fraud
Perpetrated by q Cheney
Delegate.

The democrats met In county con
vention Saturday afternoon, at
o'clock, at the courthouse, and
elected twenty-slx delegates to the
state convention to be held In Seat.
tie ON the 2Sth of this month.
After n long ballot, which lasted
several hours, the twenty-six dele
gates were elected, and also dele
gates to the democratic county club
convention, to be held at Tacoma
on the Goth and 9th OF this month.
During the count quite o disturb
aDce was made by the claim IT,.
A. Harris, of the Cheney delegation,
had been guilty of fraud. 1t seems
that the five delegates from Cheney
had agreed upon ticket, and In
structed Harris 10 vote II ~ whole.
When the ticket was read IL was
claimed by James Hopkins, one OF
the delegates, that Harris had
stricken out certain names agreed
upon, and fraudulently inserted
others; and he demanded that his
delegation be given another vote.
AS the count had not been made
public 1t was the sense Of the con-
vention that tho delegates from
Cheney be granted that privilege.

bismarck Downed fer Once.

There is an old story which has lately
been revised and is now going tho rounds
of the press, both lay and medical, which
is not improbable in its conception and
which is worth repeating for the benefit
OF some of the younger generation who
may never have come across It, 1t is
stated that Bismarck once called in a
young physician who had been very
strongly recommended to him. The
doctor naturally questioned his illus.
trious patient very closely as to the
nature OF his symptoms. their duration
degree OF severity, etc. The prince ls
nothing If not grouty, and, not relishinr
this cross examination, dismissed Tie
physician with scant courtesy. The lat.
ter hastened TO depart. but before maxim,
his tinal adieu, offered the suggestiun
that the best thing for the pfnnce 10 dn
would be to send Tor n veterinary sur
geon. since tho latter never put anv
bothersome questions 10 his patients.

John Stabs Charley With q
Butcher Knife-The MUIR
derer Has Fled.

Last Wednesday Charley and
John, siwashes, engaged In drunk
EN- row at their camp on the river
bottom at the mouth Of Hangman
creek, and in the course of the
melee John stabbed Charley In the
abdomen with o butcher knife.
About 9 o'clock Friday evening
Mother jackson, an old squaw well
known In this neighborhood,
rode into town in a high state of
excitement. The first person she
met was V. M. Massey. whom she
Informed that Charley was dead
lnjun. From what Mr.. Massey
could make out of the woman's ac-
count of the affair, he was led to
suppose that the tragedy had just
occurred, and he hailed Joe Warren,
and together they proceeded to the
Indian camp. Tie Indians were
all very much excited. They re-
moved the winding sheet in which
Charley's corpse had been wrapped,
revealing ghastly wound In his
abdomen. Being asked what had
become Of the murderer, the Indians
answered that he had taken his de-
parture on foot Thursday morning,
accompanied by his squaw.
Friday night the Indians were
endeavoring to procure wagon in
which to convey Charley's body to
the Indian burying ground at
Lepre's bridge, twenty miles down
the river.
John Is N bad Indian, and has
several times been locked up in the
city jail for drunkenness. Charley
was not a very good Indian him
self, but according TO general belief
he Is very good Indian now.

CARPENTERS STRIKE.
Tho Men Demand Tea Hours Pay
for Only Nine Hours
Work.
One Hundred of Them Quit Work
Sixty of Them Are Union
Carpenters.

The carpenters have gone on q
strike. Friday morning sixty
union men employed at the Spokane
mills walked out. The men were
oil at work In the factory. The mill
also had to be closed down, and
forty more men were allowed to STOP
work.
The demand Is ten hours pay for
nine hours work. The men have
been paid 80 cents an hour, OF
So per day, 20 cents more
than laborers In st. Paul, Mime
apolis and the East receive for the
same work.
Mr.. 10. j. Brickell, the manager OF
the mill, was called upon by dele
cation on Wednesday, and informed
Of the demands, and was also told
in a short time the men would de-
mand an advance of so cents a
day. He told them that they need
not trouble themselves about that,
that they were discharged on the
spot.
To a REVIEW reporter Mr.. Brick
ell said:
"Those men can never again
work for me. | am not weak
knced or afraid, and do not intend
to be bulldozed by any such meth
ods.
''The company would not pay the
men So for nine hours work. We
can't afford to do IL and compete
with Minneapolis, where the men
work ten hours q day for less wages
than we are paying. They have
been getting about one-third of the
trade anyway. 1t is no disappoint-
ment to us to have these men quit
at this time. Work Is slack now
and We were thinking of shutting
down for short time anyway.
We have shut down temporarily,
but that Is because we have
an over supply of lumber and have
no place to store 1t. We have no
complaint to make concerning the
mill men and will put them to work
again as soon as possible. We work
them In wherever we can. We only
regret that they can not take the
place of the bench men.
''As to the latter, they can't go
back to work here. They are most
ly old countrymen, and too slow
anyway. One American Is worth
two of them any day, and when we
start up again we will try and have
more Americans. We always pay
30 cents per hour whether man
works nine hours or fifteen. We
have several men who work from
twelve to fifteen hours when we are
rushed. 1t accommodates us and
gives them more pay. We are will
ing to pay $2. 20 for nine hours work,
but not So.
"We pay 25 cents day more than
we paid last year, any way, and
trade Is not nearly so good Us them"
concluded Mr.. Brickell.
The mills are not shut down, but
are running right along, and as fast
as men can be secured the force will
be increased.
An attempt was made by the
strikers to have the Second street
mill join in with them, but as there
were but few union men there, but
little headway was made.
From Second street, the strikers
went to King, Smith d Co. Is mill
on Ferry street, and were joined by
the benchmen there. After this
they returned to the mills of the
Russell Manufacturing Company.
Here they were joined by all the
carpenters except the foreman,
twenty-five in number. The men
in the Spokane Building & Manu-
featuring Company on the North
Side remained at work, saying il
the others got nine hours they
would get the same.

SPOKANE POLITICS.

Despair Hangs Heavy Over the Half
Deserted Camp OF the Turnerites.
Things are not altogether lovely
In the Turner camp. The judge IL
said to be grouty over the discovery
that he was the fifth choice of the
men who persuaded him to make
the race by assuring him that the
call of the public was spontaneous
and enduring. Then again, ennis
saries returning from the country
wear long faces and tell news that Is
hardly encouraging. The country
is solid for Wilson, and all that work
of writing appealing editorials and
running them in obscure sheets at
double the regular advertising rates

cal Lake" said a Spokane man yes

up for Turner, he shook his head in
II despairing, wish-I-was-out-of-this
scrape-and-you'd-never-catch-me-do-
ing-it-again sort of way and
sighed deeply"
Among the "heelers" and ward
boys report has gained currency
that the Turner managers have
raised II big sack-some say $1,000.
Among this element there is a pain

the county central committee to-day

mains n dark secret. The general
belief around town is that If the

JAMES CRAWFORD,
The State Fish Commissioner En-
forces the Law in Regard
to Sawdust
The Spokane Mill Company Was
Yesterday Fined 500
and Costs.

James Crawford, the state fish
commissioner, has been In the city
several days. He has been accom-
panied by +. G. Ried, the Oregon
fish commissioner. The latter, how
ever left Thursday for Portland.
Mr.. Crawford has been on an ex-
tended official trip. He has been to
Kettle Fulls on the Columbia river
just below Marcus, where 1t Is pro.
posed to establish salmon hatch
cry. The site Is a very good one,
and there Is large run of salmon In
the falls. 1t has not been fully de-
cided when the hatchery will be
built, but 1t will not be very far In
the future.
Mr.. Crawford has also inspected a
large number of sawmills In the
country and finds that In most
cases the law prohibiting the dump
ing of sawdust and slabwood is be-
ing complied with. Said he:
"rhe only place where ! found an
entire disregard of the law was hero
in Spokane. The Spokane Mill
Company when notified by the Rod
and Gun Club here to desist prom
ised not to throw any more slabwood
into the stream, and to make ar
rangements for securing machinery
to carry the sawdust to u burning
dump. With this agreement, the
Rod and Gun Club allowed the mill
to go on dumping sawdust into the
river, with the express stipulation,
however, that no slabwood or shaw
ings should he thrown In. have
seen the law disobeyed, and
as there has evidently been no i'll
tention on the part Of the mill COM
pany to comply with the law /
propose to begin action against them
In a court of law. The minimum
penalty Is fine of 800, and the
maximum $3.50"
THE BLACK BASS.
Mr.. Crawford has inspected Loon
lake, and although he is an ardent
champion of the trout, he thinks
that Loon lake stocked with black
bass will in no wise endanger the
trouting waters of the state.
Besides visiting Kettle Falls, the
fish commissioners has visited the
Little Spokane, and several other
places in the vicinity.
He will see that the fish ladder at
Darts mill OH the Little Spokane,
is repaired, so that Il will be more
serviceabie.
THE MILL COMPANY FINED.
Thursday afternoon Mr.. Craw-
ford had the mill company before
Justice Curry, on charge of
violating the law. The company
pleaded guilty and were fined 800;
and promised to shut down the lath
mill, SO that no more slab wood will
be thrown in the river.
Mr.. Crawford agreed to give the
company reasonable time to get
sawdust burners from the East, so
that the mill need not close down.
COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON.
In speaking of the large and ex-
traordinarily fine salmon pack of
this season, Mr.. Crawford said there
was no doubt that 1t was
attributable TO the fish turned out of
the Clackamas hatchery, which has
now been in operation four years.
He also said that there was much
less violation of the law this year
than formerly.

ANOTHER DROWNING
BERTHE Stevens, Aged Eleven Years,
Loses His Life While Play
ing on Sawlogs.
The Body Recovered After an
Hours Search--The Fourth
Victim This Summer.
"Another boy drowned"

"Anotner boy droW ned."
This was the announcement that
greeted the ears of REVIEW re-
porter who was in the east end of
town i'm search of news Friday
afternoon. 1t was learned that the
accident had occurred just above
the Seattle, Lake Shore d Eastern
bridge, and thither the reporter pro-
ceeded. A dozen or more women
stood along the south bank of the
river, while three or four men were
pushing the saw logs about with
pike poles and dragging the river
for the body.
The victim was BERTHE Stevens,
the 1l-year-old son of Mrs. John
McCabe. 1t appeared that BERTHE
and Robbie Cook, boy about his
own age, were playing on the saw
logs which lie in the river at that
point. Mrs Small, who lives near
by, saw the danger the boys were
in, as the wind was blowing suffl-
ciently to cause the logs to drift
about, and she ran through the
house and called to Mrs. Cook,
and Immediately returned to the
front door, when she saw the Stew
ems boy In the water He was in
an open place between the logs,
which were rapidly drifting
together, and was struggling to
climb upon one of them, but was
unable to do so, as II rolled toward
him. An instant later the logs
came together over his head, and
the little fellow was not seen again.
Mr.. McCabe, who lives about two
blocks from where the accident oc-
Cured, was at once sent for, but up
on his arrival no one present was
able TO tell where the boy was last
seen. Mr.. McCabe pushed the logs
away and sent for help, several men
coming from the opposite side of the
river.
The drowning occurred shortly
before o'clock and an hour later
one of the men fastened hook in
the boys clothing and raised the
body to the surface.
Officer shannon pulled the body
into n boat and 1t was taken ashore,
where barrel was procured, and
'AS "'u"' "se'l'e7 "" N"ts'Ach
made, but to no avail. The body
was then removed to the family
residence. DIR. Bacon arrived soon
after, and pronounced lie extinct.
Coroner MacLean was notified, but
no inquest WAS deemed necessary.
Bertie Stevens was an exception
ally bright boy, and has been ac-
customed to selling the REVIEW on
the streets. His mother, who Is in
delicate health, il completely pros
traled by the blow.
This makes the fourth hoy
drowned in the river this summer.
The body of one, the little son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Newell, has never been
found.

A Farmer,s suggestion.

PEoNE, WASH, Aug. lo.
To THE EDITOR or THE REVIEW.
ls 1t not about time the city faith
ers provide good, level market
ground with city market master,
so the farmers may bring In and
sell their produce, hay, etc, instead
of standing on some vacant lot, In
the street or bowling from door to
door?
OF course we farmers are bound
to find some fault. but 1t seems
that city the sizo and with the
enterprise of the Falls should have
n good market, as n great deal OF
the produce consumed has TO be
brought quite II distance, and 1t
would be certainly great benefit to
both buyer and seller. w. II. 5.
