iHIt circumstances. lie llau no rtla-
tlNrs III this country, but his sister,
who lives in Canada, has been notified.
Tom Ryan, a Spokane morphine
ticnd with Il pcnchant for stealing, has
kept pretty honest for long time,
because the last time he was in Jail
they refused him morphine, and the
memory of his sutierings has been
wonderfully deterrent. This ought to
be a good method of reaching such
cases. The morphine fiend's opera
tons could then be confined to himself.
Ryan is in Jail again, now for stealing
a roll OF carpet. and wailing for a
" shot"
Theodore B. Wilcox, of Portland,
has brought suit in the United States
Circuit Court at Seattle against ID. Il.
and Louisa Denny and A. P. Fuller

also prayed for.
The Northern Pacific tax agent last
week paid into the Lewis county
Treasury $4,17793 for unpaid taxes on
its right of way, track, ETC., in the
county. A singular feature of this
matter is that these taxes did not ap-
pear on the tax.roll as turned over by
the last Auditor to the Treasurer.
The omission was discovered by
Deputy Treasurer Huntley in looking
up some other matters, and the
comfy is consequently that much
cash ahead.
The Golden Queen mining claim,
in the Trail creek region, situated OH a
ledge parallel to and between the War
Eagle and the Cliff. has been sold by

Spokane, and Paul CASTOR, a we'll
known merchant of Palouse City.
The price is understood to be $4,000,
OF which 50 800 is cash, the balance to
be taken out of the property. The
Golden Queen is sulphide of copper,
iron and gold ore. 1t has five holes
on it, from II to Is feet deep.
A peculiar accident occurred on a
Seattle street-car the other day. A
passenger. whom nobody seems to
know, put his pipe in his pocket, and
few minutes later began to feel his
back getting uncomfortably warm.
But he no sooner felt it than a blaze
ran up the back of his coat, and be-
fore he could remove it his shirt was
on fire. The other passengers
the fire on his shirt, but be-
fore that in the coat could be quenched
the garment was burned beyond
recognition, the owner barley saving
some papers he had in one of his
pockets.
One night last week young man
into Spokane saloon over
come with fatigue and the ravages of
a fever. Four days later he died at
the hospital, thinking there was no
one nearer than Minneapolis whom he
could call upon for help. After his
death telegram was sent to his father
in Minneapolis, when it was learned
that brother and sister was living in
Spokane, the brother being employed
on the Spokane Falls & Northern rail-
road. and the sister being married and
with her husband in Spokane.
Neither knew their brother was sick
until their father telegraphed them
from the East the news of his death.
