YOU have of a candidate for governor
who makes such announcements?
Mr.. Mead. the republican candidate
for governor, is making them in the
speeches he is delivering. He tells the
voters ne does not think the time is
ripe for the creation of a railroad
commission, and assures them that II
he is elected he will not, in the mes
sage the governor is required to send
to the legislature. either recommend or
oppose the creation Of such a commits
sion, but that he will blindly approve
any bill creating a railroad commits
sion the Legislature may send him. Is
a man who announces such views, and
who proclaims SUCH a line Of official
action, qualified for the position OF
governor of the great state of WASH
ington?

Three days ago Sheriff Benner Of
Great Falls arrived here on q still
hunt for his man. At the police
station he made his identity known
and with a photograph of the en-
bezzler imprinted on their minds the
entire police force was given strict
orders by Acting Chief Coverly to

doubt of his presence 8Ahis city
and for the city to fall down on the
case would have made 1t the talk of
police circles. The greatest secrecy
was enjoined and the fact of the
presence of the Montana sheriff here
was kept quiet. Benner even regis
tered at his hotel as from an assum-
ed city.
In this way net was woven
around the Montana fugitive so close
ly 1t was impossible for him to leave
the city even had he become aware
the police were looking for him.

Bright and early this morning Nc
Dermott was on the spot and waited
for the appearance of his man. An

On being arrested Anderson saw
the hopelessness of resistance and
made no fuss about 1t. He is a mild
hammered looking Swede, blonde
haired and with kindly blue eyes.
He is about six feet tall and wears a
light summer suit.

proposition is the only one which ap-

there as is evidenced by the letter
which has been received by POST
master Harrison, the contents Of
which were transmitted to the board
OF public works.
The government only accepted the
site on the corner of Riverside avenue
and Lincoln street on condition that
street were to be opened on each Of
the four sides. Mr.. Cowles and Mr.
Jones were very anxious to obtain the
building in that end of town and
readily granted the condition that
they dedicate the street and promised
that 1t would be opened whenever re-
quested. This promise they already
have broken and now it remains to
be seen whether for the sake of the
rents from the Powell block they will
continue to hold on until forced by
some legal process to comply with
the promises they so readily made.
Mr.. Jones when seen this after
noon refused to say what would be
done In reference to the demand of
the department Mr.. Cowles could
not be found.

The damage suit of II. l.. Williams

He was railway mail clerk on the
spokane Falls & Northern and was
injured at Northport by 4 train bump
ing into the train upon which he was,
There has been much conflicting evil
dence as to the extent of his injuries,
whether he is paralyzed, and if SO,
whether it is permanent, and whether
it is true he has lost the sight of one
eye.
Judge Gordon. the artful attorney
for the railroads, at the close of Will
Graves argument for the complaint
announced that he would not make an
argument to the jury. This prevented
Frank Graves from making any argu-
ment in rebuttal and the court then
proceeded to charge the jury ON the
evidence.

lost his life In an unsuccessful at
ion, is told by the crew of the
steamer Jones. which brought a raft
to this city from down the river.
The steamer was coming up the
river with raft in tow. A lantern
had been left burning at the lower
end of the raft. About midnight.
when near Rainier, the light became
extinguished and William Pursell and
Adolph Lessor were sent to relight
1t. They went down in a boat, lit the
lantern and rowed back up the
stream while the steamer proceeded
slowly to wait for them.
One man, which one no one ever

feet of the steamer as II to throw a
line to the men waiting on the steam
er. 1t was very dark and only his out
line could be seen. AS he rose he
stumbled and fell with splash into
the water
There was no hesitation on the part
of the other man in the boat. He
sprang from his sea, into the dark
waters.
That was the last seen of either
of the men. The steamer stopped
and spent many hours till daylight
in hopes of reseuing the men and
then in trying to find the bodies.
Neither men uttered a cry as they
went into the water. What the strug-
gle was in the cold stream, whether
the rescuer was able to reach the
other man, whether they went down
together or separately. which was the
brave hero, are only known by the
cold. dark waters of the mighty
stream which continued to flow on to
the sea.
