Committee Of the @. A. r. Invite the

To the publlc:-The 10th Of May
promises TO be a notable day in the
history OF the capital
city. It has been proposed by the

The ceremonies attending the

i've. The idea is "A most excellent
one, and its execution will have
an influence extending Ear beyond
the immediate ceremonies of the
day. 1t is proposed first, to present
the colors to the East Salem school,
and, possibly, in time to all of the
schools ia the city.
The possession Of our national BAN
ner 10y the various schools must tend
to keep vital and enduring that
sentiment Of loyalty with which the
coming generations Of citizens
should be throughly imbued. The
mere sight of the national emblem,
around which 50 many historic
glOries clgster, must inspire the
minds Of the children with a desire
to know what it implies, and stimu-
late them to familiarity with the
history of the Republic. In'every
school house the flag will be All

Sedgwick Post No. 10 is To be credit
cd with one of the fairest thoughts
that has blussomed into beauty in
this city. In several Of the Eastern
states attention has been brought TO
this subject, and IN very many Of our
largest cities in the East the stars
and stripes float over the public
school buildings every school day in
the week. The boys and the girls In
our schools to-day are To be the citi-
zens Of the republic, its teachers, its
business men, its statesmen and
soldiers Of the coming years.
All the citizens of this district and
city and surrounding country are

civic societies and military Organi-
cations as WE'LL \ cordial and

tiOns of this city. A program Of APP

Extremely Complicated.

The street railway war, which be-
gan in Spokane Falls month ago,
but which was temporarily settled by
an Injunction, has broken out again.
The city council at the time ordered
the Spokane Street Railway company,
which had no franchise, to tear up
their tracks in order to allow the City
Park transit company, with fran
chise, to lay down their tracks. The
former company refused to obey the
order of the council, and the mayor
set a force of men to tearing up the
tracks. The company then secured
an injunction fronSthe superior court,
but the city authorities ignored 1t,
when they were arrested by the sheriff
who was in turn arrested by the chief
of police. The cicy filed d demurrer,
and now the superior Judge sustained
the demurrer. The Spokane Street
Railway company appealed to the
supreme court, The judge ordered
the Injunction to remain in forcepend.

Shot In the Back,

A sensational tragedy was enacted
at Spokane Falls on the 10th inst,
in q newspaper Office. For several
days past negotiations have been
pending between Patsy MulIlgan and
Jimmy Casey for a prize fight. On the
day in question they posted 500
each with the Morning Spokesman,
agreeing to meet at that newspaper
Office to arrange details. Both princi-
pals arrived punctually, accompanied
by friends.
While talking matters over quietly
Billy Lynn, a friend Of Casey, said to
Mulligan, "Why don't you fight me?''
Mulligan Carelessly replied that he
4.+e.4. sset- iss -IlA-h -hahiEa Rahtinu scrubs.
Lynn thereupon crossed the room
and struck Mulligan in the face with
his fist. Mulligan arose from his
chair, drew revolver, reversed it and
knocked Lynn down with the butt
end. Mr.. Hutchinson, business man.
ager of the Spokesman, forced Lynn
out of the house. He walked around
to the rear OF the building and re-en-
tered through the composing room.
Before any one was aware Of his pres
ence he opened fire on Mulligan, who
was standing with his back toward
the door through which his assaillant
entered. Four shots were fired in
quick succession and Mulligan fell Ed
Smith, another pugilist, was struck in
the knee and hand by stray bullets.
Both wounded men were hurried
away to Sacred Heart hospital.
Physicians found Mulligan mortally
wounded with a bullet hole in the
back and another in the breast just
above the heart Whether both
wounds were made by the same bullet
passing through the body, or whether
one of the other shots took effect in
the breast, they could not determine,
The victim is reported dead and it is
thought Smith will lose q leg.
Mulligan's real name is Andy String
err He formerly lived at Walla Walla,
and is 112-pound puglist. Lynn is
an old-time prize fighter. About a
year ago hefought California Dempsey
in that city and was defeated. Casey
has been in Spokane Falls two weeks,
teaching class of wealthy young men
in the manly art. Lynn is in Jail.
There was talk of an attempt tolynch
him, but this would be impossible and
is not anticipated, although there is q
good deal of excitement in sporting
circles throughout the Pacific coast,
where all the parties are well known.

Anorrible Death,

One ofthe most horrible crimes on

ty, South Carolina The crime was
committed on Mary's island, an unfre-

Paddy Grant lived there with his wife
Phoebe, and another woman, supposed
TO be too intimate with Grant, FREE
quently visited his wife On the 18th
inst. Grant informed the relations ofhi4
wife that she had been severly hurt the
week before by the explosion Of a
Kerosene lamp and was IN a bad con-
dition.
The relatives foand her burned from
her knees in front only, terribly chdr-
red and speechless. She died when an
attempt was made to remove her. No
traces of oil could be found on the
floor or no traces OF burning below the
knees OF the woman. These and con-
Trajectory statements caused the ar
rest of Grant, but he escaped from his
guards. Having been run TO earth
again, he requested permission TO re-
turn to his room for short while.
Almost Immediately the report OF a
gun was heard, and it was found that
he had placed the nluzzle OF his mus.
ket against his stomach and exploded

and the other woman, and that shs
was then set on fire.
