Odds.

A coolness arose yesterday, like u
mist of the morning, between Mr..
George Turner and Mr.. j. N. Glow
er.
II was all about Shantytown.
When the case was before the in
terror departing ent the Arm ofTurner
Il Graves was retained by Messrs.
Glover and other gentlemen .epre-
senting the settlers as against the
claims Of the squatters, and for
their advice and service they have
been paid fee of $1,000. In con-
versation with a few friends, Mr..
Glover recited this fact. He went
still further, or at least those present
understood him to do so, and stated
that Judge Turner came to HIM and
requested that he be given an op-
portunity to go to Washington and
present the case of the citizens be-
fore the interior department.
In yesterdays REVIEW these al
legations appeared In u communities
tion signed "Shantytown."
When Judge Turner read them he
was worried and angry, and wasted
little time In writing a note to Mr.
Glover, expressing desire to meet
him In regard to al ''scurrilOus COM
munication In the REVIEW
Mr.. Glover replied that his Office
was in his bank, at the corner of
Riverside avenue and Stevens street.
Mr.. Turner failed TO take the hint.
Last evening he called at the RE-
VIEW Office, however, to gain in
formation regarding the writer of
the communication.
"Was IL untrue?" was asked.

admit, our services being condi.
tional upon the case coming before
the courts; but / deny that ever

sent to Washington. / dislike be-
ing placed in the attitude of drum
ming up trade.
Mr.. Turner was assured that If
the correspondent "Shantytown"
failed to substantiate the allegations
his name would be given to him.
1t was also suggested that as
the correspondent offered to
bring forth his proof in case
his Statements were denied, that
IL might be we'll for the firm, or
Judge Turner himself, to deny them
through the columns OF the REVIEW,
and demand the proof.
In response to that suggestion
Mr.. Turner returned to his Office
and prepared the following state
ment:
SPOKANE FALLS, WASH, Sept. 8.
To THE EpiroR OF THE REVIEW:
My attention has been called TO a
communication in your issue OF this
morning signed "Shanty town."

called the disputed district To repre-

started to Washington to look after the
Shantytown case, and asked to be sen,

ready very s'esESe,H.iS GEoRdSE TURNER.
81 can not see why Mr.. Turne
should take this matter so to heart,
said a warm supporter of Mr.. Wilson
last evening. "Even If he suggeste,
that he be sent to Washington, b
was merely advising his clients a
to the course to be pursued"
Said another prominent citizen
at seems to me that IA mount tain
being made of "a trifie In thi
Eh .ntytown case. What If Judg
II .rner was retained against til
fquatters? He did nothing that an
honorable lawyer might not hav
.one. And what IL Representative
Wilson introduced the Spokan
citizens to the head of the interio
Department? They were his con
stituents, and common courtesy n
quired as much. II Judge Turne
had rejected that fee he would hav
been quixotish, and If Congressman
Wilson had done less he would hav
boorish."
A large number Of Spokane peopl
will agree.
