j. M. Noble of the u. s. Employ

the next session of the United States
court by Commissioner j. w. Mar
shall this morning. His bond was
fixed at $500, which he furnished.

an obscene letter through the United

supposed to be running a sporting
house and concert hall In the letter
he said he thought he could furnish
q couple of girls. about is or 20
years old. who would be good money
makers in the right place.
His attorney contended that the
letter should not be taken seriously
because the plot was laid by The
Press for the purpose of getting the
accused to send the letter, and that
1t was not obscene because It was
written to fictitious person. He was
very bitter in his denunciation of

that II had given the authorities a
chance to stop 1t. In speaking of the
young newspaper woman who writes
under the name of Sara Serl he said:
There is nothing but honor to
this brilliant young woman in the
work she has done. The highest pur-
pose any woman could have would be
to act as protector Of womankind,
and this young woman in doing her
work, which without doubt has put
stop to this terrible business, has
In this way become a great protector
of her sex"
Noble presented a pitiable sight.
He is an old man. one who has lived
many years in Spokane and who has
many friends in the city.

away with bullets and barricaded the
house, He then fled to an upper floor
where he stationed himself at VIM
dow. He was armed with two re-
volvers.
Reinforccments were sent on n
truck, on which was placed sheet
of steel, which was used as a shield.
From the time of their arrival until
midnight the fight was kept up.
At midnight signal for cessa-
ton of hostilities until daylight was
given. This morning the battle was
resumed.
Smith hesitated moment after
emptying both revolvers and one of
the officers shot him in the arm. A
second later another bullet struck
him under the right armpit. He was
seen to reel and then fall to the floor
The officers rushed on the house and
on entering the room in which the
negro had made his desperate stand
found him dead in n pool of blood on
the floor, with scores of empty shells
and both revolvers by his side.
