THE STEVENS COUNTY SEAT.


CoLvILLE, Nov. Is. Especial. - Tho
county seat question, which was sub
mitted to a vote of the people at the last
general election. now promises TO occupy
the attention of the courts for a time.
The county seat of Stevens county is now,
and always, since the organization of the
county, has been located at Colville, but
the towns of Springdale, Kettle Fails and
Chewelah each took proper measures to
bring about an election upon the propo-
sition OF removal There were 1,275 votes
cast on the proposition, of which
Kettle Falls received $50. Chewelah
3i5, Springdale less than 100, and
the balance against removal. Notwith-
standing the fact that it required three
ffths majority of all votes cast on the
proposition in favor of a contesting point
to secure removal, the county commits
missiOners. contrary to the advice of the
prosecuting attorney and the law as well.
held that the different towns voted on had
bv separate petitions created three differ
ent propositions Of removal, and that if
anv one place received three-i iifths OF the
votes cast on its respective proposition,
the prize should be awarded to such town.
The board of commissioners have
ordered notices of the removal of the
county seat TO Kettle Falls to- be posted.
and Colville Is making preparations to
take the matter into the courts. in case
the commissioners perss; IN having their
order executed. Attorneys Thomas G.

DANGER IN KING COUNTY.
The White and snoqualmie Rivers Ris-
ing-Watching the Bridges.


The heavy rain Of the last two days,
combined with chinook which is melting
the snow on the mountains. is causing a
rapid rise in all the rivers in this vicinity.
The White river at Kent was filled to its
banks last night and was rising at the rate
of six to ten inches an hour. 1t was over
flowing both above and below Slaughter,
and at Christopher there was more water
than during the disastrous food of year
ago. Section men were watching the
Northern Pacific bridge at Kent last night
The Snoqualmie river is also on the
rampage and fears are entertained that it
may repeat the damage done by last years
flood. Unless the situation is greatly i'm
proved today, the county commissioners
will place men on guard at every point
where the destruction OF bridges or other
property is threatened and can be pre-
vented.
The county commissioners have for
some time been trying TO find means to
prevent floods. especially in the White
and Black river valleys. where they have
been worst. and have employed Otto f.
Wegener, the civil engineer, to devise the
best means of doing so. 1t was only last
Monday that the ePosT-ENTELLIGEycE ER pub
lished part of his report on the subject
in which he made the point that the Du-
vanish has to carry of the food water
rom the White and Black rivers and Lake
Washington. and that the digging of the
ship canal is the best way of getting re-
lief. HIS statements are emphasized by
the present situation.

taken a stand near the door where he
could intercept him. The robber ap-

hand and the money drawer comfortably
resting on his left arm.
AS he passed out the door Bohn seized
him. A desperate struggle ensued, and
silver and gold coins were scattered on
the ground, but Bohn suddenly stretched
the robber on the ground by a powerful
blow with his fist and wrenched the pistol
from his hand. holding hlm until the ar
