Health Officers Dispute
Mrs. Bakken.

Mrs. Bakken, whose child was
confined at the tciy isolation hospi-
tai with scarlet fever, has made
complaint against the city health
officials, alleging that she was not
supplied with proper food and that
the supply of fuel was wholly in
adequate to their needs.
Inquiry of the health officers
shows that Mr.. Bakken, who at
tended her child, was given the use
of one of the buildings, which were
erected during the smallpox cpl
dcmic four years ago. These build
ings are double boarded with a
layer of paper between and are in
a fair state of repair.
The charges rs to food and fuel
are disposed of as being absurd,
and the health officers carry the
war on the other side, saying that
Mrs. Bakken wanted totake her
child away before it was well and
danger from infection passed.

continue the government with his
present cabinet.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon in ad-
dition to the nephew of General Ma
co and the three strikers first re-
ported, another captain, one lieuten-
ant, two private policemen and
three strikers have been killed.
All parts Of the city have not yet
been heard from and 1t is probable
that the death list will be largely
added to.
Small clashes are constantly oc-
curing and the United States ar
tillery is under arms in their bar
racks ready for an emergency.
The main effort of the strikers
seems to be to give vent to their
spleen against American residents
all over the city and cries Of Down
with Americans" are everywhere
heard. Minister Squires, relying on
the governments ability to handle
the rioters. has taken no official
action yet.
1t was rumored this afternoon
that the anti-annexation element
was responsible for the disturb
ances and was doing all that was
possible to foment feeling against
Americans here.
Minister Squires declines to rec
ognize this attitude.
The shipping of the city has been
completely paralyzed and business
Of all kinds has been entirely sus.
pended.

HILLS PLAN.

Considerable talk Is rampant
among the local railroad men re-
garding ]. J. Hills stand in holding
aloof from the plan to consolidate
the various transportation COM
panies on the Great Lakes. It is
said that he has in mind the draw
ing together of the various inter-
ests represented by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific in
lake traffic.
1t is asserted that Hills plan is
to place the entire lake business
Of the Northern Securities COM
pany under one traffic officer, and
this idea would have taken form
already but for the litigation
against the merger.
The lake business Of the North
ern Pacific and the Great North
ern is an important item Of lake
traffic. II President Hills plens
are carried out he will increase the
number Of freighters sufficiently to
handle the business Of both the
Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern.

THE use of the slot machine is
an offense against the CITY," said
he. 81 am more opposed to this
system of gambling than any other
for the reason that children have
access to it.
"The regular gambling is not a

as is the use of slot machines, and
consequently does not come under
the jurisdiction of the municipal
authorities"

ager it is an easy thing to get a
top-heavy house on almost any old
amusement, but when the people
turn out as they did last night it
evidences an attraction of more
than usual merit and that Spokane
is getting alive to the excellence of
its band.
Director Reemer was at his best
and the expression is general that
it would be difficult to match the
perfection in drill exhibited.
The American lutte makes soft
music, hardly more than silence
sweetened, but in the hands of Mr..
Bonham it has found it's master,
and the audience insisted on an en-
core.
Mrs. ]. II. Kahler and Mrs. J. W.
Chapman, the vocal soloists, also
charmed their hearers to such de-
gree that recalls were demanded.

SHOT A LYNX.
Harvey Chicken Ranch Rid
of a Pest.

A lynx has for the past few weeks
been worrying the chickens on the
Harvey ranch about six miles north
of the town. That lynx will shortly
be on show in this city.
1t seems that Mr.. Harvey has
missed about 40 or so of his chick
ems lately and as that was not good
business from the rancher's point
of view, he laid in wait last night
and got in one of the prettiest shots
one could wish for, the bullet strik-
ing fair and square on the nose,
boring through the head.
The animal attracted a huge
crowd as it lay in Mr.. Harvey's
wagon this morning on Howard st.
