BATTLE
WITH BURGLAR.
Detective Burns Makes Arrest of Jim
Burkey After Struggle in Which
Desperate Tries to Kill Him.
Robbery Committed.

After a fierce fight with Jim Bur-
key this morning Detective Burns
captured him and landed the man in
Jail. Someone telephoned the depart
ment that a drunken hobo near the
fair grounds was f1ourishing a knife
and frightening people. Burns was
detailed on the case.
On the arrival of the officer Burkey
Immediately drew long, wide-bladed
butcher knife and made savage
lunge at the detective, who jumped
back, drew his revolver and threat
ened to let daylight into his assail-
ant. AS Burns reached for the knife
Burkey drew a revolver. Like flash
the detective covered and disarmed
him again. While placing handouts
on his wrists Burkey fought fiercely
and drew another weapon in the
shape of sharpening steel.
The detective in the struggle gave
the desperate man a severe beating
and finally brought him into town.
At the police station he turned out
to be a regular junk shop. He is
supposed to be one Of the burglars
who robbed the residence-of William
O'briep.
A thin indigo colored silk mask,
skeleton keys, three watches, several
pocketbooks. silverware and tallow
candle were in his possession. Some
OF the articles have been identified
as those taken from the O'Brien and
Allenburg residences.

DEFEAT OF BILL Will
IMPEDE STREET WORK
Corporation Counsel Judson Says Hardship Will Be
Imposed Upon Property Owners by
Act of Legislature,

II Is the opinion Of Corporation
Counsel Judson that the defeat of
house bill No. l02 will materially re-
dound to the disadvantage of Spo-
kane. as 1t will have the effect Of
greatly impeding the progress of
street improvements. According to a
statement made by Mr.. Judson. 1t will
now cost from 10 to Is per cent more
for street work Of all kinds because
Of the value of improvement bonds.
This will result from the fact that
man can evade the payment of as
sessments for local improvements.

a deficiency is left In the fund pro-
vided FOR the payment of the bonds.

his state and county taxes he can

articles OF wearing apparel was the
sum total secured by two burglars
who entered the residence Of William
OBrien, capitalist. at 1919 Pacific
avenue, last night.
Every room in the house was
searched through and through by the
burglars, every drawer, nook and cor
ner was ransacked, but fortunately
nothing of value was secured. A
servant heard the men moving
stealthily about the kitchen, dining
room, parlor and library. but fright
kept her from arousing members of
the sleeping family.
About 2 o'clock this morning Mr..
and Mrs. OBrien were aroused by
someone creeping about the bedroom.
The movements of the two as they
awoke frightened the prowler and he
fastened down stairs before Mr..
O'Brien could get his revolver. In
the dining room the man who had
worked the upstairs portion held a
loud consultation with his pal" and
Immediately the two fastened from
the house.
Mr. O'Brien secured a good view
of the robbers as they sneaked from
the yard.
A. search of the rooms revealed
everything in disorder. Two suits of
clothes belonging to Mr.. O'Brien and
pair of shoes were missing. The
pockets of other clothing were turn
ed inside out and some valuable pa
pers taken. A more careful search
may reveal some missing valuables.

he forecloses the lien created by this
certificate. the claim of the city for
improving his property will be set
aside.
I'm my estimation said Mr.. judi
son. the defeat of this bill makes
it necessary for the city to change
it's system for local improvements. by
requiring the entire payment of the
cost of the Improvement to be made
within 80 days after it is completed.
Heretofore a property owner was
allowed to pay on small instalments.
For instance, he could pay 500 at the
rate of $40 month. Under the new
system he will be compelled to pay
the whole amount down within 80
days. and as in many instances 1t is
hard to raise a large sum of money
1t is at once evident how the progress
of street Improvement will be re-
tarded"
