sist in removing the obstruction, which
was done without the loss of much
time.
The engine men and trainmen were
very grateful to Mrs. Mcilvana, who
has modestly refrained from talking
about the affair to anyone. She said
to -neighbor that she did no more
than almost anyone would have done
under the same circumstances and that
if she was instrumental in saving life
or suffering or property, she was very
thankful to the ruler of all for the
opportunity.
So far the officials of the railroad
have not taken any cognzance of the
matter, but the Great Northern has
rewarded such worthy cases before and
Mrs. McIlvana's good deed may yet
receive the recognition it deserves.

1t has been long time since the
city of Spokane and its treasury got
such a jolt us that given it by the
verdict of jury which had heard the
evidence in the damage suit of Charlie
G. Meyers against the city for negli-
gence in maintaining faulty sidewalk
on Division street last April. 1t -
the biggest verdict since the present
administration of the municipal law
department commenced business $1,000.
The plaintiff is 80 years of age and had
an arm broken in such a manner as
to preclude knitting, and his knee was
broken. as well ais general shock
sustained. The jury evidently cons'd-
cred that the old mans life had been
shortened by the accident.

At a well attended meeting of the

A rather bitter fight has been waged

to prevent proposed strikes. In his

An ordinance is to be introduced at
Che next session of the city council
fixing liquor license for restaurants.
The proposed ordinance is the out
growth of application made to the
council by Cakes cafe and the Rock

The Appliances came before the
council last night, and Corporation
Counsel Judson, whose advice was

clearly retails liquors by the glass or
