Defy the Officials.

Report was made to the police de-
partment last night that the Spokane
Traction company has torn up Washing
ton street between Sprague avenue and
Riverside avenue. The company is also
charged with leaving piles of concrete

ANOTHER CRANK
IN WHITE HOUSE

10 o'clock by an omcer. He had man
aged to sneak into the executive man
sion In the White House without de-
lection. How long he had been in
the lobby before his presence was dis
covered Is not known. The discovery
occasioned great excitement.
He gave his name as Decker and his
residence as Norwich, Conn. He made
no hostile demonstration and went
with the police readily. He Is men
tally unbalanced.
Under orders from the White House
no outsiders were allowed to see or
speak to him. Secretary Loeb has
issued orders to all attaches of the
White House that they will no longer
be permitted to give out any infor-
nation relative to such callers. His
fear Is that the iltoriety attaching
will attract others.

his catch to the police station, where
they are being held for advice from
Prosecuting Attorney Kimbail before
being locked up. The two men caught
say they were merely shaking the dice
for fun, in the hope that some of the
other colored men might get excited
and enter the game seriously.
Justice Hinkle, in a casual glance
over the anti-gambling law, found that
any gambling games with cards or other
rSraphenalia is prohibited, whether the
games are played in any house, building
or garden. 1t is likely the men will
be held on the charge of gambling in
garden, the woodpile coming the
nearest to the description of a garden.

Sheep in Orchards.

A Maine farmer SAYS:
With the experience that have had,
am convinced that there is no way
that the fertility of an orchard can be
kept up so cheaply as by keeping a
flock of sheep. If the farmer has a
pasture adjoining his orchard, where
the sheep can have a run in the or
chard and pasture during the day and
be yarded in the orchard nights, forty
sheep and their lambs will keep two
acres rich enough To produce large
crops annually. If he has no pasture
adjoining let him put four times as
many sheep in the orchard, as it will
produce grass for them and make up
the deficiency in grain. Mr.. Wood
ard, one of New York's great orchard
lists, in giving his experience in the
different methods practiced by him in
keeping up the fertility of his orchards,
says that the orchards where he kept
his sheep and gave them grain pro-
duced the best apples and were the
freest from worms, ard the net returns
were better than by cultivation or any
other treatment. II has been nearly
forty years since | began keeping
sheep in my orchard, and | can safely
say that ! know that the benefit de-
rived in the increased quantity and
better quality of the fruit has fully
compensated me for wintering and
pasturing the sheep, and the wool and
lambs have been clear gain.

Justice Thwarted.

James r. Brooks, a young man under
2l years of age, struck the town the
other day, enroute to New York, with
S160 in his trousers. Being of a sport
i've disposition, he played craps and
added $40 to his wealth. With the 5000
he finally wound up in Puccinelli'e sa-
loon and tackled poker game. Luck
was against him and in short time all
he had for his 5000 was the memory of
the drinks he had had during the
game. This memory haunted him and
he told his woes to Constable Mccoy,
who arrested Puecinelli and locked
him up on charge of selling liquor to
minors and permitting minors to
gamble in his saloon. Complaints
charging Puccinelli with both offenses
were made out.
The next day when the case was
called the defendant was trying to set
tie the matter with Brooks, the pros
ecuting witness. After considerable
parleying the attorneys came into
court and announced settlement, by
which Brooks was paid $40 and given
his valise and gun, held in soak by
Puccinelli. Puccinelli also paid the
costs and the case was dismissed

animals were struck by the west bound

about fifty head in the band.

went for distance of about one-quar-

Scheme to Capture the Senate.

1t is claimed that it is only neces-
sary to secure thirteen Mormon Sena-
tors in order to put the Senate of the
United States under control of the
President of the Mormon Church. A
dispatch from Salt Lake says that the
Mormon leaders depend on Colorado,
Nevada, Wyoming and Montana, to
which States they are sending large
bodies of immigrants, to furnish seven
Senators. They expect the new state
hood bill, admitting Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma, to give four
more, and by defeating Kearns and
electing a Mormon to succeed him,
hope to get the twelfth man. These,
with Senator Smoot, complete the thir-
teen.
1t is not possible, the Salt Lake dis
patch to the contrary Notwithstanding,
that the Mormon authorities contem-
plate any assistance in their nefarious
plan from this State. The temper of
Nevada on the Mormon question, and
the character of her people, forbid
such thought. To accomplish the
scheme of making this a Mormon
State, it would be necessary to import
an army of adherents equal in num-
bers to our population, for the people
here are a unit for decency. The prop
osition is impracticeable, and we'll
nigh impossible.
