Practically the only bank building nee

In speaking of the pond this morning
Mr. Murphy said
Our desire is to provide a skating
pond that will be within walking dis
lance OF the homes of our children.
My prime object in the matter is to
encourage love of outdoor sport
among the children.
While the pond will not be large
enough for the general public, it will
be plenty large enough for Brownies
and Cannon's addition.
I've can have man present to see
that no Objectionable language il used
among the children; and, for that mat
ter, the parents themselves can be
present and see that things are proper
ly conducted; especially on Saturday
afternoons.
This will be the first artificial pond
in that part of the city. The wates

Zone of the biggest frauds ever per-

the passage of the forest reserve bill,
said ex-Congressman w. c. Jones this
morning.
Mr.. Jones assertion was in connec-

frauds that are now bringing scandal
to land offices In Idaho, Oregon and
many other western states. Continu-
ing, Mr.. Jones explained:
"The special session of congress that
convened In 1897 was the worst trick

BUILD SKATING
POND IN TOWN

Alonzo NJ. Murphy, R. Lewis Rut-
ter Fred B. Grinnell and ex-City En-
gineer Otto Wiley have in hand a pro.
ject to give to the children of Browne 5
and Cannon's additions a fine skating
pond for the coming winter.
The plan is to build the pond on the
vacant land at the southeast corner of
Second avenue and Oak street in
Brownies addition. The plot would
be triangular in shape. To the south.
east would be the track of the North
ern Pacific railway to the north Sec
ond avenue from Oak almost to Maple
street on the west Oak street and on
the south Third avenue. At it's great
est length on the Second avenue side
the pond would be almost two blocks
in length
Mr.. Wiley, who has offered his SER
vices as engineer for the project will
make the preliminary surveys this
week, and will report on the feasibil-
ity of the plan. If his report is favor
able, the work on the necessary ex-
cavating will begin almost immediate
ly.
The new pond would not be more
than foot or so in depth, preventing
all possibility of the children drown
ing. On the southeast side the rail-

the enraged mob and the police.
The crowds that had been assem-

the project of police.
The mounted police charged and
struck the mob down right and left.
The mob fought back. hurting sticks
and stones, also throwing corrosive
sublimate in the policemen's faces.
Thirty eigN police and 90 rioters

WARS DRESS
SUIT IN JAIL
Williams CIingS to His
Banquet Garments
in Prison

w. Williams, the wealthy Union
park stockman, who was put under
$500 peace bonds for six months at
the instigation of his wife, Ada, last
week, is the only man ever admitted
to the county Jail who persists in
wearing an evening suit.
Williams was caught on the morning
following the banquet he rendered his
wife at Davenports restaurant, and
he was taken to the city jail without
being given time to don a business
suit. During each of the two days
that the case against him was pending
in police court, Williams appeared in
the "bullpen" in police court room
surrounded by hoboes, drunks and pet.
ty larceny thieves, and each time he
made a hit with his evening vest and
broad expanse of white shirt front.
In this same getup, Williams has
been sent over to the county Jail. The
other prisoners have eyed him with
suspicion, but Williams, who is tall
and dignifed, frowns down their looks
with much hauteur. He is one of the
bravest men ever admitted to the city
bastile.
Another surprise that Williams is
giving the officers comes from his fail
ure to give the 5000 bond. He is re-
puted to be wealthy, has lived in Ida
no and Spokane all his life and has
many friends-yet he seems determin-
ed to lay in Jail until the divorce suit
comes up, or until he has served out
the six-months peace bond.
