but only succeeded in INJECTING an ugly
wound from which he doubtless will re-

Spellman lost Che desire to die and Went
to the house OF Mr.. Probst, a farmer. and
told him he had been shot by an unknown
man and asked to be taken to hospital.
Probst got neIghbor's wagon and con-
veysd the wounded man TO the county
hospital, where mis- injuries were attended
by DR. +. B. Whiting. the superintendent.
His examination OF the wound showed
that the bullet entered in front of the
right ear and ranged downward and for

Spellman was greatly under the influence

Assuming from his story that murder
had been attempted DIR. Whiting tele-
phoned the sherIff.s Office and Sheriff Van
de vanter and deputies McCorey and Me-
Donald responded.
Spellman told them fair tale to the ef-
feet that, as he was walking along the
road near the Denny clay works with a
friend named Jack MeGinnis, suddenly
some one came up behind him and with
out word of warning shot him. Not be-
Meying this story. the officers went to the
scene and found the revolver. a box OF
cartridges and a lot of papers and MEM
Uranium books belonging To- Patrick
Spellman. On returning they told Spell
man a man had seen him shoot himself.
Then he acknowledged the truth.
He said ne was out of work and out of
funds and had tried to kill himself. He
SAID he was a member of the American
Railway Union and had followed rail-
reading. Among his papers was found
card verifying this statement. He had
been il Seattle for three weeks and vas

been in Spokane for seven weeks and

been employed on the Union Pacific and

A VICIOUS DECISION.

A North Carolina court has recently de-
cided that when an act of the legislature
bears the genuine signatures of the pre-
siding officers of both houses. and regular
ly appears among the printed laws of the
state. the court will not, on any showing
mate. go behind that record to determine
whether or not the law had been actually
passed by the legislature. There would
under some circumstances be reason for
unfolding the decision on the theory that
It is no part OF the province of court TO
interfere with coordinate branches of the
government. and that the court should
give Just as much credence to the regular
ly authenticated acts OF the legislature as
the legislature should to regularly authen-
ticated decisions OF the courts.
The peculiar circumstances surrounding
the North Carolina case render the judi
eial decision a dangerous precedent. The
record OF the proceedings of the legisla-
ture disclosos the fact that the bin in
question had been tabled In the senate,
and had never been before the house at
all. II was also known and ready TO be
produced in evidence that the signatures
of the presiding officers had been obtained
by a trick. and that the appearance of the
bill among the recorded laws was in pur-
susnce of conspiracy in which certain
employees of the legislature were employed
as agents.
This case Is an illustration of how the
strict following OF technical precedent
may lead a court into utter faulty. Fol-
lowing presidents made under totally diff
ferent circumstances. and the strict letter
OF language used by other courts in de-
Gliding cases which were not tainted as
was this, by fraud and conspiracy. the
court in North Carolina has held in sub
stance that subordinate employee OF a
legislature who dares 20 risk detection and
punishment for fraud. forgery and con-
spiracy. can make a law out OF a bin
which the legislature has failed TO pass.
and that the courts are powcrless to IN
terferc. The allegation OF fraud would
justify the court in going behind the
record.

THURSDAY, JUNE 9.
AN OFFENSIVE BOARD.

The fire commissioners seem disposed
TO continue their warfare on the depart
ment which is costing the taxpayers
about $1,000 a year. II ever board COM
mitted hari-kari, this one has. There need
be- no fear that there will be any repe-
tition OF the present disgracefal condition
OF affairs after tho people get an oppor-
tunity to amend the charter.
For the present. however, there seems
to be no hope OF relief-except the ex-
preston of popular indignation that one
OF the most important and most expen-
slve parts OF the city government should
be made the object of barter and the
scene Of incessant plotting and schemins.
The friends OF Kellogg or any other
candidate for the Office OF chief had the
right to urge his claims and submit his
name 10 the constituted authorities. but
falling to receive sufficient votes for him
they would be wise to cease their under
hand efforts.
The plan OF the fire commissioners
seems now 10 be to keep selecting for
chief names from the best officers in the
department so as TO make them mark
for public disapproval and TO foster jeal-
ousy. One of these officers manfully re-
fused TO DO made a butt of. and he stands
out In a very favorable light. The po-
sition OF captain in the fire department
is very good one; and the people are
likely To conceive q higher reward for the
efficient fireman who attends to his bust
ness and their interests than for the tire
some politician I'm their ranks who loves
tempests in a teapot as an old woman
loves gossip and thrusts forward his own
petty pretensions without regard to pro-
priety of place or time. 1t should be re-
membered 10 Aliens credit that his de-
pertinent under very trying circumstances
has been characterized by quiet dignity
and freedom from oiiiciousness
The entire blame rests with the FIRE
commissioners who have shown an utter
disregard for the interests of the city.
II there is any lawful way To effect an
Improvement by removing any OF the
members and substituting better mon. 1t
should be done; and the people will not
recognize party distinctions in such a
movement. The Democratic member OF
the council who votes 90 continue an I'M
desirable condition OF affairs in order
merely 10 bring discredit upon Rcpub-
lean is a traitor TO the people. This has
become serious matter. and every man
directly or Indirectly party TO II must
take his share Of responsibility.
