YOUNG SkAGGS IS
ALMOST A MURDERER

Boyish bravado and recklessness
on the part Of Sidney Skaggs, aged
16, came near resulting in the murder
of James Clark, aged IA. yesterday
afternoon. The shooting took place
near the home of Z. S. Ross, a gar
dener living just east of the city
limits on Seventh avenue. Clark was
shot in the face, the bullet cutting
cash just under the left eye and
lodging in the cartilages of the nose.
Young Clark and another boy were
riding along the road on bicycles
when their attention was attracted
by the shouting of four boys farther
up on the hill Clark says the boys
shouted Hands up" but this is de-
MED by the quartet.
Clark and his companion shouted
back to the boys but did not stop and
against the advice of his associates
young Skaggs fired in the direction
of the bicyclists.
AS the bullet struck Clark he fell
from the wheel and the four boys
on the hill ran away, going east be-
hind the hill and circling around to
the Northern Pacific tracks, along
which they returned to the city.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-10-24

Clark was picked up unconscious
and carried into the Ross home,
where the wound was hastily at
tended to. Later the boy went TO the
home of his uncle, J. Wilson, on East
Riverside avenue. Later he was
brought down town to have the
wound dressed. 1t was found the
bullet just missed the eye and the
wound is not dangerous.
As soon as the sheriff's office was
notified officers went out in search
of the boys who did the shooting, but
it was not until this forenoon that
Deputy Sheriff Pugh succeeded In To-
eating young Skaggs as the boy who
fired the shot.

who runs a grocery and woodward on
East Sprague avenue. The boy ad-
mitted the shooting to the officer but
declared he had aimed to shoot over
Clark's head. The lad was taken to
the county Jail and locked up pending
a conference with the prosecuting at
torney to determine whether a charge
shall be lodged against him. With
Skaggs at the time were Al Hanson,
Vern Tamblin and Peyton Carter, who
have not yet been arrested.

ATTACKS THE MAYOR

ters used. Why did he not adopt 1t?
Mayor Boyd is political accident,
resulting from the decent citizens di-
viding their votes. The accident
ought not again to occur. The city
needs for mayor a man who will
never be suspected of subsection to
such men as Goetz & Baer. The
police commissioners added cracker
to the whip when they expressed the
belief that Mr.. Burns thought his ac-
cusation true. If a policeman thought
that the mayor was governed by
Goetz & Baer, ordinary citizens will
be forgiven for entertaining sus-
picions upon the subject.
"The fearful harvest of crime reap
ed among boys and girls in this city
during recent months results, in a
measure, from the fact that such men
as Goetz & Baer have been permitted
by Mayor Boyd to violate laws with
impunity"

T|BBLES A FIGHTER
FOR JOHN BROWN

Judge Thomas II. Tibbles, vice
presidential candidate on the peoples
party ticket, reached Spokane yes
terday on his mission to rehabilitate
his party in Washington after the
jabs it has received from the demo-
cratic foe. Judge Tibbles is Of that
type Of man known as a fighter. and
his career bears out the characterize
tion. He was through Kansas with
John Brown in the antebellum days,
was once courtmartialed and sem
tenced to be hung, but was rescued
by members Of his company. He
served through the war on the stan
of General Lane When fighting In
dams with General Crook he was
recognized as the best pistol shot in
the expedition. He has toured Great
Britain and Ireland as lecturer under
the management of the late Major
]. B. Pond, and Is now editor of the
national organ Of the peoples party.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-10-24

There are thousands Of people s
party men in this state" said Judge
Tibbles today to a Press reporter.
"but they have been smothered by
the democratic party. The best of
that Is that they know 1t. My OBJ
iect in visiting this state is to have
them stand up and be counted and
then reorganize. We know what the
democratic party has done for every
reform which has been started in the
last Is years. We understand 1t now.
We had six peoples party men In
the senate and they all became demo-
Gratis. The democrats stole our plat
form in 1896 and threw us over. l
believe a part of that happened right
here in this state, where certain ones
adopted our name and then bolted
us"
Judge Tibbles speaks tonight in
Elks' temple, and the public is in
vited to hear him.

GIRL From chill
HAS HER BLOOD UP

1t was necessary to put up bond
to cover the attachment of the re-
ceipts, which amounted to $153. Miss
Tower had no money, but she had
$500 worth of diamonds, and these
she put up with the chief of police
as surety.
Manager Francis made promises OF
settlement, but last night it was re-
ported that he would leave town with
the baggage and property of the
show, so his leading lady got out the
restraining order.
The order Is made returnable next
Saturday, when the case will come
up for a hearing. Meantime the at
tach.nent stands and Miss Tower is
in possession, through the courts, of
the receipts for Saturday night while
the other members of the company
are scattered about the city wishing
they had been quicker in getting at
tachments and are now awaiting
some sort of a settlement.
