The life of the Jap in Spokane was

Last evening a posse of citizens,

Every Jap with scar on his face

WQhAh TIGHTS
AlltQ[D VICTIM

A stranger in the city, on pleasure
bent, fell into the company of two
Swedish maidens of convivial habits
and the trio had many drinks about
town. The stranger, whose name is
Hall, left the girls in a restaurant
box for a few moments, and during
his absence they departed, taking
with them, as Mr.. Hall claims, his
umbrella, pair of gloves and about
81 I'm money which was in the pocket
of his overcoat hanging in the box.
Hall ascertained that the women
had gone to the Temple Court and in
company with Sergeant Sullivan, he
followed them there.
The accusation of theft provoked
the Swedish ire of Marie Palmer, one
of Halls companions, and a fight en-
sued between Hall and the woman
which awakened many of the occu-
pants of the building.
Sergeant Sullivan put a stop to the
fight and ed both Hall and Marie
Palmer to the police station, where
the latter was held on a charge of
larceny.

NJ. B. Watkins, county superinten-

the place.
DR.. David Starr Jordan, president

Of the largest audiences ever assem-
bled in Spokane, at the auditorium
last evening.
The subject, 'The Call Of the goth
Century was handled with great
skill and the polished educator thrill
ed his audience with enthusiasm for
the future educational work.
H. B. Dewey Of Tacoma, president
of the Washington educational asso-
citation introduced DR.. Jordan and
presided over the meeting.
Mr.. Dewey on behalf Of the asso-
citation returned thanks to the people
of Spokane who are responsible for
the meeting being such a grand suc-
cess. Mr.. Dewey stated that the
membership enrolment was $500, or
five times as many as a year ago.
Mrs. Ruby Dionne opened the pro-
gram with a voilin solo which was a
finished piece of work. She was OBJ
liged to respond to encores.
DR.. Jordan in covering his subject
showed a liberal mind. His noble
character showed forth his advice to
the young men of the goth century.
This century" he said, will be-
come more democratic and there is
greater scope for an educator today
than ever before. There will be no
room for drones.
"The earth belongs to a man who
can use it and the only force which
lasts is that which Is used to make
men free.
If it were ever my fortune in

there is, the plain speaking Of a living

Denver

DENVER, Dec. 30.-The supreme
court this morning granted the petit
tion Of Governor-elect Adams, demo-
crat, for the opening of every ballot
box in the city and county of Denver
so that every ballot may be scrutin-
lied in the 224 precincts.
The democrats claim the ballot
boxes were stuffed by republican elec-
tion crooks purposely with demo-
cratic votes in order to have the DEM
ocrat precincts thrown out. The re-
publicans claim the democrats turned
the same trick on them.
If all votes in the city and county
are thrown out Adams will have 5000
plurality. If the republican wards
in Denver are not thrown out Peabody
will have a plurality over Adams.

FOLSOM, Cal. Dec. 30.-Quiet
reigns in the penitentiary since the
killing of three and the wounding of
four convicts in yesterdays attempt
ed break for liberty. The men were
sent to the usual tasks this morning,
obeying the orders of the guards
without hesitency.
The condition of Guards Jolly and
Murphy is improved.
The four wounded convicts are
resting well although Kelley and

The dash for liberty at the rock

noon was a plot arranged some days
ago and was similar to the one of
last July.
The prisoners captured Captain
Murphy, Guards jolly and Taylor
and tried to use them as shields.
Guard w. II. Harris obeyed the or
ders given in July by the warden to
shoot regardless of the free men and
at short range began shooting at the

1t was another attempt of the

of an attempted raid on the Old Ma

men at 9 o'clock last night has moth

w. H. Cowles used Adjutant General Drain as a
tool in plot to locate the new national guard ar
mory Riverside avenue in order to boom the real
estate holdings of Cowles
The wishes of the commission and of the public
were entirely ignored when the scheme was sprung.
The site, hole 60 to 70 feet deep on the side of
hill, was selected by w. H. Cowles. Adjutant Gen.
eral Drain obeyed orders when he insisted upon that
location
The Press has positive proof of the deal between
w. II. Cowles and Adjutant General Drain. The two
conversed about the locating of the site picked by
W. H. Cowles and in the presence of witnesses Gen.
eral Drain agreed to put through the job.
It is because of this plot that injunction proceed
ings were filed by R. A. Hutchinson to prevent the
county commissioners selling the $4,000 bonds
The proceedings are merely the first gun in fight
which will expose the crooked DEAL Sensational de-
velopments are promised
W. H. Cowles forced the library site to be chosen
in out of the way spot in order to boom his west
side property. He schemed to locate the postofice
inconvenient location for the same reason. He
has succeeded temporarily in forcing the site for the
new armory building to be used by thousands, for
the same reason. The cost of building on that site
would be enormous and cost the taxpayers thou
sands of dollars more than estimated.
But it will benefit w. H. Cowles, who has sue
ceeded in persuading General Drain and Others with
good and sufficient reasons, to obey him.
