Last "Wednesday II week ago q
representative of Rosenbaum d Co.,
wholesale liquor dealers of Spokane
Falls, obtained from Michael Eredo
and Mae Haley, copurtners in the
Twilight saloon, II bill of sale of the
building and its effects. They ~
once by virtue of the writ
took possession OF the prop
erty. Fredo d Co, seemed Ia
he surprised ut the turn OF
affairs and raised the cry of fraud,
claiming n Misrepresentation was
made To- them and that they sup
posed the article signed was only u
chattel mortgage, given as security
OF payment of the debt, not its
liquidation. They at once proceeded
tu take legal advice on the matter,
which resulted In their retaklng
forcible po, session of the goods and
chattcls of which thcy had been
relieved. A telegram to that effect
was at once sent to Spokane
Falls which again brought repre-
sentative of the liquor firm on the
ground. lie tried to get possession
of the property by threats and fair
promises but In vain. Fredo u Co.
held the fort and no amount of coax
ing would prevail over their deter
mination not to surrender. Roscn-
baum then put the property In
party's hands named Melville to
guard and take possession of 1t II
possible. Melville, swellcd by au-
thority and genuine bug:juice, was
on the alert and watched his oppOr-
tunity to storm the castle. IL came
during the evening while the FEM
mine head of the firm had gone to
supper He entered the back door
and demanded the keys. lie was
answered by the order To get out,
delivered in an emphatic manner ut
the point of revolver. Melville
also drew his gun and fired; the re-
suit was only snap. Fredo then
fired, which shot was quickly
answered by Melville. Charlie
Speer then rushed i'm and grasped
the revolver held by Melville, which
stopped the melee. Sheriff Gilispie
and others followed and the belliger-
cnts were disarned aud taken into
custody. Both balls had lodged in
nocently in the ceiling and both
have recovered from their severe
nervous shock. Monday morning
they were arraigncd before Judge
james Jump, fined IS aud pcrquis-
ties and released. The encounter
cost them little over S26 apiece,

Tho Colossus Knocked Out.

NJ Eiilel has rendered n real service TO
mankind in connection with the famous
Colossus OF Rhodes. For centuries that
imperiinent statute has been iiung, SO TO

vast superiority of ancient over modern
engineers, and thousands OF unhappy
schoolboys have been compelled TO com

such statue ever existed, nor ever could

who could have placed bronze statue
standing astride the entrance to the port
OF Rhodes, Tor the simple reason that
the weight of the body would infalibly
have crushed the legs. Let us hope that

asperating Temple OF Diana ut Ephesus

An esteemed afternoon contem-
porary chronicles the following
news:
A marriage has been arranged be-
tween Miss Louisa Shepard, the 20
year-old daughter of Colonel and
Mrs. Elliott Il. Shepard, and Will
lam Jay Shieffelin, son of William
Is. Shiefieiin and grandson of Sam
uel B. Shiefielln and John Jay.
Miss Shepard is a tall, fresh-faeed
girl and inclines toward the quieter
strat,. of society.
One must infer from this that the
two most interested parties in this
matter had little to do with "ar-
ranging the marriage" People
familiar with sporting terms will
naturally think of "arranging" a
prize fight or running or pie.eating
match. We have no doubt that
Miss Shepard Is an ideal young
woman, hut such stuff as the
above, for which she is i'm no
way responsible, tends to make her
appear ridiculous in the eyes of SELL
slble people. "She inclines toward
the quieter strata OF society,"" isl very
ambiguous statement, and provokes
smile. The most quiet stratum of
our society Is that class known as
deat-mutes. No doubt Mr.. Schief-
ielin is very estimuble young man.
The fact that he Is u graduate of the
Columbia School of Mines, a Ph. ID.
of Goettingen and q fellow OF the
4 l'hnnlin.ll ZIni.atN of \ .,.InY, ah
that he is far removed from the
and ls, no doubt, fully capable OF
choosing II wife for himself without
having marriage arranged for him.
Estimable as he may he, however,
the public is In no way concerned
with his pedigree, and. in dragging
his pedigree in by the ears, our con-
temporary is somewha "horsey."
We are told also that Miss Shep-
ard has IA private fortune of her own.
This is the nub of the whole matter.
Were Mr.. Shieflelin an equally de-
serving but poor and struggling
chemist, instead of the son of a
wealthy pillmaker, and were Miss
Shepard an equally good but self
supporting school teacher not IA line
would have been printed about this
arranged marriage" Probably
when the contract has been closed
our contemporary will speak OF Mr..
Shiefielin's "consort."
The same toadyism is exhibited in
the yards of dispatches about the
rumored marriage between Mrs.
Frank Leslie and the Marquis de
Leuville. The foreign fortune
hunter Is described as noble
man that needed shave,
hair cut and better hat,
but he wore golden bangle
about his manly wrist, and scintil-
lated i'll the region of the cravat
with all the known gems" Per-
haps London correspondent can
understand how an unshaven and
slouchy person can he IL nobleman
when he has the means for preseut-
ing genteel appearance, and how n

gle. Unfortunately we are not in
formed Us to the state of the "noblc-
mans" shoes or of his linen. We
know that he has the vuigarity to
wear II variety of precious stones Sin

his manliness, but now "wealth

While, under the act granting the

fact that sites for mills, smelters aud

their easy accessibility to the mines

wanted 70 Arre,t s.. Paul.

There is Greek benevolent society
in Constantinople which recently had
occasion to publish a pamphlet on its
work, and on the title page there was
put quotation from St Pauls Epistle
to the Galatians, says the San Francisco
Argonaatt. Very soon after it appeared
a police officer came to the printing
Office and demanded of the editor that
he should give him information as to
who this Paul was who had been writ
ing letters to the people of Galata Zone
of the suburbs of Constantinople), as
he had orders to get a copy of these
letters and bring the aforesaid Paul to
headquarters The editor explained
that Paul could not be brought to head
quarters; he was dead.
But the functionary retorted that his
orders we're to bring Paul, and if he
could not bring Paul to bring the editor.
1t was of no use to protest that Paul
had been in Heaven for eighteen hun
dred wears; and the editor was taken
to headquarters and put in prison for
several DAYS, until finally the Greek
patriarch interfered and presented the
Bureau of Censorship with a copy of
the letter of Paul, which he show d was
addressed, not to the people of Galata,
bnt to a province of the ancient Roman
Empire. This haviHg been at last made
clear, the editor was released.

.neral Grant, as is we'll known, was
very fond of horses, and from the time
that he was cadet at West Point was
frequently called upon to conquer I'M
ruly and viscious animals. He took a
keen pleasure, too, in driving fast,
spirited horses. But he could never be
induced to go to race nor to bet on a
horse
He had certain little superstitions
which he allowed to influence his con-
duct One of these was his belief that
to turn back when he had once set out
to go to certain place would ensue de-
feat to his object. This superstition
probably underlayhis logged persistence
in holding on" during the war; indeed,
it would be useful weakness in any one,
whether soldier or school-boy.
He once told his friend that when he
was young lieutenant on the frontier
he had seen how uniustly the Indians
were treated by the white settlers and
resolved if he ever had any authority, to
help them, Out of this determination
grew the Indian Commission which he
appointed when President, choosing the
men who he believed would be most
Just and fearless in dealing with this
national difficulty.
A marked trait in his character was
hfs modesty and purity. The writer of
the "Recollections" states that during a
long and intimate acquaintance with
him he never heard Grant make an in
delicate allusion or utter word which
could not be repeated to woman.
His last appearance in public was at
Ocean Grove. large seaside camp
ground near Long Branch, where
he owned cottage. During his last
illness friend induced him to go down
to the camp-meeting. More than ten
thousand people were assembled on the
beach when the weil-known figure sud-
denly appeared. leaning on crutches on
the edgeof the crowd.
With one impulse the great multitude
rose and burst into a cheer which
drowned the thunder of the sea- Grant
hesitated, removed his hat, tried to
speak few words but broke down,
bowed to them, and then, with the
tears running down his cheeks, turned
away and was seen no more. y Youths
