SUICIDE AT SPOKANE.
Defaulting Deputy Postmaster
Silvey Shoots Himself.
PACIFIC COUNTY SEAT WAR.
Invaders Of Oysterviile Courthouse Ar.
rested and Bound Over-Roslyn
Bank Robbery Trial.

SPOKANE. Feb. a-George Silvey, assistant
postmaster here. killed himself this morn
ing by sending a bullet through his brain.
The tragedy was enacted in his room and
in the presence Of his roommate. but
without moments warning. Slivey
came from Chicago and had been
employed in the postoffice for
some three years. The reason for
the deed was a shortage in his
accounts. He drew a large salary, but
was a observation-disclosures and spent
money with a lavish hand. His income
vas insufficient to make ends meet in the
way he liked.
The inspector of the postal department
arrived in the city yesterday for the pur-
pose of making his annual inspection. A
discrepancy was soon discovered and Sill
yey was confronted with his shortage, but
as it was past banking hours the authori-
ties were unable to prove the charge until
morning. Several large errors were dis
covered, but Silvey persisted that every
thing would be right when the bank
opened in the morning.
A careful checking up of Silvey's books
shows q total shortage of $7,l00. He was
under $4,000 bonds to the postmaster.
His mother, who Is IN Chicago, and a
prominent business man here are sure
ties. His parents reside in Chicago, and
are highly respected people. They are
both well advanced in years. Deceased
was about 40 years of age and unmarried.
The remains will likely be shipped East to
his former home for interment.

A Sacramento Frixe Fight.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 9-Billy Mahan, of
San Francisco, and Jimmy Morrissey. of
this city, fought here tonight in Armory
hall. 1t was fierce fight from the mo-
ment the men toed the scratch. Morrissey
had the best of it up TO the sixth round,
when he nearly had Mahan Knocked out,
getting in three blows to Mahan's one.
After that Morrissey began to get tired,
but still Mahan could not put him
out. In the eighth round Norris
sey led for Mahan, but the latter ducked
and caught his weak opponent on his
shoulder; he then raised up straight and
threw Morrlssey over his head. Morrissey
fell heavily on his head and shout
ders. and had the breath knocked
out of him so he could not rise.
The crowd called foul and broke into the
ring, and had it not been for the police
Mahan and his seconds would probably
have been driven out. Tom Norton, the
referee, gave the fight to Mahan, but
one of Morrisey's seconds declared that
the referee had money bet on Mahan.
The result created great excitement, and
but few persons were found to uphold
either Mahan's style OF fighting or the
referees decision.
