DOG SHOOTING NO CRIME.
Dick Atchison Unable to Get Legal
Redress For His Losses.

Dick Atchison was wroth last even
ing and his lamentations filled the
cracks and the crannies of the admin
istratfon hall, for Dick refused to be
comforted. Some one, woman, had
shot one of Dicks dogs with target
rife and had killed the canine. The
aforementioned feminine marksman
had also made a target of another of
Dicks pets and had put a hole clear
throuh the animal, but it still sur
wives. Dick was mad; he was awful
mad. On the top of this Jones man
sent him word that if he did not keep
the CANNES up he would shoot the
rest Of them. Mr.. Atchison took his
troubles and went after a policeman.
and at the mayors office he found
that he was helpless in the matter, for
there is no ordinance against shoot
ing within the limits of the city and
If the ball discharged from a rife or a
gun chances to hit canine or a feline
there is no recourse so far as the
death of the animal is concerned.
Dick thought the matter over with
himself for awhile and then gave fair
warning that he, too, will go cunning
and make as much or more trouble
for his tormentors than they have
made for him. He says that if there
is no ordinance against shooting with.
in the city limits that he will do some
shooting of his own. Hence. there
may be another chapter in the story
written within a short time.

sensational Developments.

morning granted the petition of the
defense for a change of venue in the
Iroquois theatre case The defense
produced fifty thousand afidavits rep

states attorney fight for a change of
venue placed him in bad light. He
also said he had received an unsigned

Italians no doubt bear ample evidence
of the encounter, for Will Wilson was
doing the best he could to protect his
mother. Numbers were against him,
however.
Mrs. Wilson was found by the po-
lice. She was under the influence Of
liquor and was crazed with pain from
a badly bruised arm which she con-
tended was broken. The police took
the woman, who is past sixty years of
age, to her home. She also claimed
to have been robbed of five dollars.
"Bill'' went to the Abbott G Swarens
hospital and had the wound in his
side dressed.

THE BARBER'S UNION
WILL NOT PARADE

Union BARRIERS will not appear in
the big parade of union labor next
Monday morning. This has been de-
cided by a majority vote of the bar
bers.
The BARRIERS are still as much union
men as ever, but they have decided
that 1t is necessary to fight the nom
union shops with their own weapons.
For this reason the BARRIERS union
has decided to sacrifice themselves
and lay the union open to a fine of
500 by the trades assembly for fail
ing to appear in the parade.
1t required a species of heroism on
the part of the union BARRIERS to vote
not to participate in the parade. 1t
means to them more than the finan-
cial loss amounting to a 800 fine. 1t
means the roasting, undeserved per-
haps, of every other union in the
city.
Labor day Is the day of all days
for the union men. No union man
will work on that day except under
a penalty.
Because of this the stand of the
BARRIERS is creating something Of a
sensation in union circles.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-09-01

AS the BARRIERS considered the prop
osition to remain out of the parade
it was a question of sacrifice.
TO close the union shops all over
the city would mean that the nom
union shops would do a land office
business Some of the employees of
the larger shops took the position
that it would be necessary to remain
open until noon in order to counter
act the fight of the non-union shops.
It was a hot time In the meeting.
Some of the BARRIERS accuse the en-
ployes of the larger shops of being
afraid of losing their Jobs. The ma
jority, however. remained firm against
allowing the non-union shops the
privilege of remaining open without
competition.
In refusing to join in the parade
the. union is liable to the penalty i'm
posed in such cases, but owing to
the conditions, an effort will be made
to secure a suspension of the rules.
No answer has been received from
the central assembly on this propo-
sition. The BARRIERS will be the only
union men in the city to work on
that day.
