He became very popular with the
natives and soon married the king s

WHEELMEN PREPARE
FOR SPRING SEASON
Spokane Wheel Club Will Hold Meeting Next Week
to Outline PIans---Want Cinder Paths
Continued,

With the spring season close at
hand bicycles that have been stored
during the winter will again be
brought out and put into active use.
The city of Spokane and vicinity is
well adapted to bicycling. being uni
formly level with few of the hills to
climb that are usually encountered
in the western country. Spokane is
without exception one of the best
cities in the west for wheelmen.
A meeting of the directors of the
Spokane Wheel club will be called
next Wednesday night to prepare for
the seasons plans. The club started
with a membership of rs. being at
the time a purely social organiza-
ton.
Early last year it was decided to
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-02-19

admit all persons who possessed a
wheel and paid the license fee of 81
to the city, and the result was a de-
cided increase in membership. Those
who only pay the nominal fee for a
license are not active members. only
those who pay the dues in addition
to the license have a voice in direct
ing the affairs of the club.
One of the important subjects to
be considered next week will be the
urging of the city to construct cinder
paths. During the years 1899 and
1901 from three to five miles were
constructed, but for some unknown
reason nothing was done in that di-
rection by the city last year.
c. c. Holzel is president of the
club and r. J. Overman secretary.

BROKERS AIM
AT BUCKET SHOPS
Their Future Existence Depends in Measure Upon
Vote to Be Taken by Members of
Produce Exchange.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The future
existence and operations of bucket

The managers of the exchange have
framed the amendment with the
avowed purpose of dealing a knockout
blow to the bucket shops. The amend

Governor and Secretary Listen To
The Claims of Convict
"Nick's' CaptOrs,
BOARD MEETING TOMORROW.
Men Go Into Details Over the Appre.
henslOn and Tell Why Prize
Money Should be Theirs.

Constable Hyrum Nielsen, of Holli-
day. James Nielsen and Orson An
drews called upon Governor Wells this
morning in regard to the reward of
$500, which they claim for the capture
of Mick" Howorth. The three men
were also accompanied by w, II. Stout,
Warren Bowthorpc and G.. c. Blair, the
latter being the man who was with
Howard Kennedy. who also claims a
share In the reward. Secretary OF
State Hammond was called into the
conference by Governor Wells and the
two listened to the testimony offered
by the three captors and their friends
as to who Is really entitled to the
money for Haworth's capture. Each
man was given an opportunity to tell
what he knew about the capture and
who In his opinion Is entitled to the
reward, From the facts stated by them
It appears that Kennedy did not take a
hand IN the capture and Is not entitled
TO share in the reward.
Constable Hyrum Nielsen stated that
he, Mr.. Stout ana Mr.. Andrews, called
on Kennedy last evening and that he
promised to be present this morning
at the conference, but he failed
to show up. The constable
said that Mr. Blair was with Kennedy
and that he admits he did not have
anything TO do with the capture and
didn't claim any of the reward. He
said further that Kennedy was merely
out hunting and after seeing the man
in the cabin he went Off hunting again
and did not give the alarm and was
not present when Haworth was cap
tured and not until after he had
searched Haworth, the cabin and up
and down the creek for traces OF
Lynch. Kennedy did not receive any
instructions from him in regard to join
ing In the search and was not present
at Nielsen's store after Haworth was
taken down there. The other men pres
ent at the conference this morning told
stories similar to that OF the constable
and corroborated him in every respect
Mr. Blair who was present yesterday,
made his claim for share OF the re-
ward, stated today that the reason
Kennedy was not present this morning
was because he (Blalr) would not tes-
tify in his favor, Blair said further he
did not consider that Kennedy assisted
In the capture and didn't think he is
entitled to any OF the reward
Gov Wells Informed the gentlemen
that the board Of corrections viii meet
tomorrow and that the matter OF pay
ing the reward offered by the warden
will be considered and he instructed
them TO be present. II is believed that
the question as TO who are entitled to
both rewards will be finally settled af-
ter the board meeting tomorrow When
the men left the office. Gov. Wells re-
marked that he wished they would go
out and capture Lynch, too.
I'VE would II we knew where he is"
was the parting reply.
