A SLUGGING MATCH
Two Farmers Have a Fight Over
tho Ownership of Some
Land.
Frank johnson Assaults Robert
Dawson--Both Men Badly
Injured.

What came near resulting In a
fatal quarrel occurred about twenty
miles from this city, on the Little
Spokane, Monday afternoon. Rob
ert Dawson and Frank johnson are
neighbors, and each owns II large
herd of cattle. 1t seems that Daw-
son owns n siXty-acre tract of land
near some owned by Johnson.
While Dawson was at work on his
land johnson came up and wanted
to buy it, offering Dawson good
price.
Dawson replied that he did not
want to dispose of his land just ut
present, as he wanted 1t for his own
use, but would talk with him about
its purchase later.
As the REVIEW reporters inform
ant tells the story, johnson then be-
gan to abuse Dawson I'm q shameful
manner, calling him everything he
could lay his tongue to, and to make
the matter worse he also threw up
old business transactions which had
transpired between the two some
years ago, and which Dawson sup
posed had been forgotten.
Dawson made some remark to
johnson which made that person
angry, and picking up heavy stick
he began to belabor Dawson over
the head with it, causing "a com.
pound fracture of the skull aud Sc
verely bruising him about the face.
AS soon as Dawson could escape
he did go, but returned soon after.
and began to sweep up the ground
with johnson, land there Is no tell
ing" said the REVIEWS informant,
what might have happened had
not some of Dawson's workmen
pulled the now enraged man off of
johnson. Both of the men then
came into town, where there
wounds were dressed by DIR. Stack
pole. The men have been friends
for n number of years. and why
they should want to quarrel with
each other IL more than / can tell.r
The injuries of Johnson are of
such nature that IL Is feared he
will not live, his head aud face be-
ing badly bruised, besides being in
jured internally. Dawson is about
35 years of age and johnson about
five years older. Dawson claims
that what he did was done in self
defense and that he did everything
possible TO avoid u quarrel with
whom he knew to be n
man of II passionate temper. He
says furthermore that he will have
johnson arrested.

FOOLED BY A CROOK.
Seattle Jail Officials the vio-
Tins OF a Job.
A CONVICT FEIGNS SMALLPOX
The Doctors Deceived, and tho
Man Escapes From the
Pesthouse.

SEATTLE wash, July 20. The officers
and inmates OF the county Jail were vic
tins OF smallpox scare yesterday, and
the question now agitating their minds
is whether the patient had smallpox, or
whether they were the victims of one of
the shrewdest crooks In the Northwest.
For several days William Miller, a
prisoner under sentence of five years,
has been III, and yesterday the prisoners
reported TO Jailor Farraher that he was
ali broken out with some disease,
which they thought was small
pox. The jailer notified Sheriff
McGraw, who sent for DIR. ID. M.
Eames, who, after carefully examining
the patient, pronounced II undoubtedly
a case of smallpox. The sheriff was not
satisfied, however, and sent for Drs. ii.
NJ. Hall and Il. NJ. Smith. They both
pronounced 1t smallpox. The sheriff
then notified Health Officer Hilton, who
at once made preparations to have
Miller removed to tho pesthouse, or
county farm. The prisoner was put into
carriage, and in company with DIR.
Eames and Jack Mcdonald, a profes.
sonal nurse, was taken to the pesthouse,
and after the patient left the Jail was
thoroughly fumignted, all of the mat
tresses and other articles that could con-
vey the disease being destroyed. Twen-
ty.seven OF the prisoners were vaccinatcd
and arrangements were made by Dr.
Hilton to vaccinate the balance to-day.
Early this morning word was brought
to this city that Miller was missing
The nurse went to sleep about / o'clock
last night and when he awoke at 4
O'Clock Miller had disappeared, leaving
no trace behind, and now the question
arises whether Miller:had the smallpox,
or whether he was shamming. While
the three physicians are confident that
their diagnosis was correct, Sheriff
McGraw and others feel con-
vinced that he was shumming.
A woman had visited Miller several
times since his arrest, and some of the
officials who are convcrsant with the
case are Of the opinion that she snug
gled in some drugs with which to fool
the doctors. and have him sent to the
pesthouse, from which he could easily
escape.
Every effort will be made by the au-
thorities TO locate him. kilograms have
been sent out from the sherifiPs office In
all directions, giving o description of
Miller.

San Francisco surgeons Va. Country
Doctors.

There seems TO be a disposition on the
part OF the physicians throughout your
county and state TO push out San Fran
cisco surgeons, and prevent them from
treating cases that require scientific and
experienced surgery, which are conse-
queI.tly beyond their reach.
Simply the fact that we advertise
seems to be great crime In the eyes Of
the country doctor. and for which, not
withstanding the fact that our physi-
cians have graduated from such col
leges as the Toronto university in
classics, and from the Royal College Of
Surgeons, Edinburgh, and Royal Col.
lege of Physicians, Glasgow, Scotland; !;
that we employ our own pharmacists,
that we have one Of the largest drug.
stores on the Pacific coast and run our
own drucmills, employ our own surgical
appliance maker carry on not only one
of the largest medical and surgical prac.
tees in the country, but the largest drug
business on the coast; Notwithstanding
oil these facts the country doctor perse-
cutes us wherever we go in Washington
and Montana, where their infant med
ical boards have existed for probably as
much as week. and in some places for
Il month.
We have been visiting nearly every
county on the Pacific coast for the past
fifteen years, and we see no reason why
we should be pushed out of existence
and prevented from patronizing the
newspapers. as we have done for nearly
quarter OF q century.
We have over halfa million dollars in
vested in our business, and our institu.
ton Ia respected wherever it is known,
but the country doctors do not seem to
have the power of discrimination and set
up cry of ehariatan, itinerant vender
and mountebank.
We manufacture braces for deform-
lilies, strained joints, fractures and all
chronic and complicated cases which
result in whole or In part from tie bad
treatment of the country physician,
including hip disease, curvature of the
spine, etc. DR.. I.iebig d Co. insert arti.
fetal eyes and adjust artificial arms and
legs to the body where they have been
removed; In fact, nearly our entire
practice is beyond the reach OF the
country physician, for he has not the
expensive apparatus required, such as Is
used In the Liebig International Surgical
Institute of Ban francisco, Butte City
and Seattle, tor making tbs required
appliances, nor does he make such
diseases his life long study, as with the
specialist who treats hunareds every
week.
A permanent division of the Liebip
World Dispensary will be opened at
Spokane Falls In the near future,
Missoula and other towns In Montana
will be visited quarterly.

0 A. M.-Both sides are reinforced.
A number of cutthroats are being armed
at the government houses.
II M.-The squadron is firing at the
government houses, and the firing has
recommended in several parts of the
city. The Colemanites are eyacuating
their positions.
Z. M.--Coleman, Roca and all the
ministers have left the government
houses.
L. M.-Thcy have ordered the SQUAD
ron to cease firing. They are 60 uing their
men away as quietly as possible. The
reason that the victorious Civicas haue
practically yielded is because they have
no cartridges left. They only had
10000, instead of 100000 as
they had calculated. The men wanted
to attack with bayonets, but Mt the risk
of their lives. The Union Ciyica chiefs
declined to permit such terrible blood
shed.
L. M.-The Union Ciyica troops are
quieter and more disposed tao withdraw.

NOT YET DELIVERED
The Northern Pacific Hasn't Got
the Seattle, Lake Shore &
Eastern Road.
II Has the Stock, but the Oficers
Of the Acquired Road
Hang On.

II now develops that the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern road has not
been turned over to the Northern
Pacific. The old operating officials
still hold tho fort, in the face OF the
Northern's requirements OF major
ity of the stock.
In the absence Of Superintendent
Allen at Tacoma, Mr.. p. Harrison
is acting as superintendent During
the absence of the latter saturday at
Medical Lake, so q well-known rail-
road man declared yesterday, Super
intendent Gilbert. Of the Idaho
division of the Northern Pacific,
went to r. NJ. Smith, chief
clerk at the Union depot, and
asked that the road be turned over
to the Northern Pacific, because of
its requirement of IA majority Of the
stock. Mr., Gilbert based his re-
quest upon kilograms from Northern
Pacific officials. 1t Is understood
that one Of these kilograms was from
Superintendent Dickinson.
Mr.. Smith replied that he had no
instructions from the officers Of
the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern,
and 80 should have to refuse to make
the transfer. He Informed Mr..
Gilbert that If he merely wished to
pass over the line In his special car,
he would allow him to do so, but
only as matter of courtesy. And
that is how Mr.. Gilberts car was
hauled out to Davenport.
mo transfer was made" said the
REVIEWS informant, "and no In
ventory was taken Of the stock. AT
the most, the Northern Pacific has
only obtained a majority of the
stock, and transfer will not be
made until the officials of the road
and the directors have been re-
moved, and that can not be done
until a meeting has been held"
Yesterday Mr.. Harrison received
a telegram from President Durham,
Of the Seattle, Lake Shore & East
ern, from Seattle, instructing him
to retain possession, and In accord
ance with this he telegraphed to the
agents along the line to warn all
parties against interfering with the
property in any way.
Thus matters stand at present.
There Is undoubtedly misunder-
standing somewhere, but just
where IL is hard to say.
The Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern
owns half the stock I'm the Union
depot here, and when the road Is
acquired by the Northern that COM
pany will be in position to make
1t interesting for the Union In u
Of ways.

OF TWO MINES.
Particulars of tho Transfer of the
United and No. in the
Kootenai District.
They Were Purchased by the
Revelstoke Smelter People
The Glengary Bonded.

William Alperson Is in receipt Of
letter from AL Wheeler, who Is
largely Interested In the Kootenai
mining region, giving particulars of
the recent mining sales In that dis
trlct, of which mention was made In
the REVIEW II few days ago.
Mr.. Wheeler writes that the price
paid for the No. |, which was owned
by two Cornisilmen, was $4,000
cash. AS soon as the two fortunate
Cornishmen received their money
they started for Old England, deter
mined on having II good time.
The United mine. which was
owned 10y Sandy Morrill,, Jim Do
Ian and Tom McGovern, was sold for
mines We're DIR. Campbell, of the
Revelstoke smelter, and u Mr..
Boyle, of Winnipeg.
These gentlemen also bonded the
Glengary, owned by Tom Cloud
and others, for $1,000. Mr.. Wheeler
writes that the Revelstoke smelter
people will probably purchase
several other properties in that vi.
cinity.
Heretofore English capitalists
have paid very littk attention to the
Kootonai district, which Is within
the British possessions, but the
mines are showing 40 we'll that
English capital will no doubt DO
largely used in their development.
The completion of the Canadian
Pacific branch from Nelson, on tho
lake, to Sproaps landing, on the
Columbia, will afford direct river
and rail communication with the
main line of the Canadian Pacific nt
Revelstoke, and the owners of the
smelter at that place expect to re.
duce the bulk of the Kootenai ore.
The completion of the branch line
of the Northern Pacific from
Kootenai station to Bonner's
Ferry will also give Spo.
kane Falls direct communication
with the Kootenai mines. AS most
of the properties in that district arc
owned by Americans, and us all the
supplies for the entire district are at
present shipped from Spokane Falls,
1t Is reasonable to predict that not
only will the smelter located at this
place receive IA fair share of the ore
of the kootenai district, but that
Spokane Falls will retain its posi-
tion as the base of supplies.
Work has been commenced on q
wagon-road from Nelson to the Hall
mines, IA distance of four miles.

OREGON SURPASSED.
The Internal Revenue Collections for
Washington.

OLYMPIA, WASH, July 29.--Arthur A.
Putnam, of Tacoma, the United States
inland revenue collector for Western
Washington, furnished some interesting
facts which show that the young state is
passing Oregon in internal revenue
matters. Why the collector should be
appointed from Oregon, or just why
Washington should be tackled
ON to Oregon and merely allowed depu-
ties. is a matter that will probably be
attended to one OF these days by our
representatives in congress. Certain 1t
is that the collector should be in Wash
ington, and Oregon allowed deputies.
The Western Washington internal rev.
enue district embraces twenty counties
of the state. S. d. Kingsbury. an old
army comrade of Senator John b. Al
len, was recently appointed another
deputy. and will work from the Tacoma
office, which heretofore, much to the
annoyance of the public, has been closed
at intervals to permit of the general
supervision of the district. Hereafter 1t
will be opsn continuously.
