NOTES FROM A
BURGLARS DIARY

Who is James Burky, or Edward
Ebert, and what are his connections
are the questions agitating the police
today.
A further persual of the diary of the
man reveals the fact that he evidently
was a close friend to Phil d. Armour
or at least had business dealings
with him at one time, for after few
notes wherein the name Armour oc-
Cured, he chronicles the death of the
millionaire and writes the following
account of his character:
''He was a man who had amassed
millions of dollars in so years with
no help but his muscle and brains.
The secret of his enormous success
seems to have been a robust constitu-
ton united with the best gifts nature
can provide, and he used them to the
fullest extent. Next comes his regu-
lar habits-lO hours for work; eight
hours for sleep; six for recreation.
Simplicity and truth were strong points
in his character and his work was sys-
tematic and without show whatever.
He used no intoxicants in any form;
belonged to no secret society nor clubs;
had no religion except humanity ana
obeyed strictly the laws of nature.
No wonder he became rich. He found
his chief pleasure in his business and
in the circle Of his family. Work,
thinking. silence. were his secrets to
success. He knew how to keep his
tongue"
Yesterday William Bartells, who
lives next door to the tent which was
occupied by Burky and used by him
for a cache for the valuables he stole.
positively identified the photograph the
police have Of the man as the identi-
cal individual whom the tent belongs
to. He was rather surprised when
the police told him Burky was serv-
ing out sentence of five years for
burglary. Bartells is writing to tha
wardne of the penitentiary today in
closing letter to Burky asking for 4
lease of the ground and tent.

ASSESSES
FRANCHISE
1AIsEs ASSESSMENT sIIoxrxY
on PLANT AND NAxEs r1Ax.
oKxSE AssEss1rzHT SANE A.
LAST YEAR.

Twenty-Five thousand dollars is the
assessment determined upon this
morning by Assessor Dayton H..
Stewart for the Associated Press
franchise and contract held in Spo-
kane by w. II. Cowles. This assess
ment is the same as was made last
year and upon which Mr.. Cowles has
not yet seen hit to pay his taxes and
which County Treasurer Mudgett has
so far not collected.
Mr.. Stewart delayed fixing the as
sessment on this property. thinking
that Mr. Mudgett would make an
effort to collect the tax and that pos
sibly test of the matter would thus
be made in court. which would be a
guide to the assessor in his assess
ment this year.
The assessment on the Spokesman
Review personal property. including
plant. material, cash, etc, and exclus-
i've of the franchise was made by Mr..
Stewart a few weeks ago and is fixed
this year at $4,000. which is slightly
more than the assessment of last
year. Last year the assessment on
this property was sS9.S70. Mr.. Stew
art figured the usual 10 per cent de-.
crease for deterioration In machin-
cry, etc. and then added the requisite
amount for an additional typesetting
machine and other new machinery
added during the year.
Prior to the announcement of the
assessment on the plant. which was
made few weeks ago. the Spokes-
man-Review quit roasting Mr.. Stew
art and did not roast him for several
days. The management waited to see
what the assessment would be. but
when Mr.. Stewart. instead of taking
the hint. added slightly to the as
sessment. the paper could not endure
1t and the next two or three issues
or the paper contained us bitter
roasts as the writer's could invent
all because. OF course, Mr. Stewart did
not make the railroad assessment
higher.

"Kid" Scaler was given the decision
over kid" Bradford (colored) after
six rounds of clever sparring last night.
Quite number of people went to
the show for the purpose of seeing a
Knockout and hard fight. but were
disappointed, as the limitations Of the
permit to carry on the affair specified
that there should be no punishment.
Both men showed cleverness. but
Bradford had the reach. He got his
left into the white boys face at times,
but couldn't put it there with sutfi-
cient force to hurt.
Fe first four rounds were rather
tame. the men feeling their way, and
both fearing double-cross was coming
from the other. They worked eau
tiously until the fifth and sixth rounds.
when both tore loose and did some fast
punching.
Scaler worked his right to advan-
tage last night. His work heretofore
has been notable for the cleverness of
his left. but he eased off on this side
last night. Charley Mekeever refer
ced the bout.

headquarters from this city to Chica
go June I.
Dover will probably be made secre-
tary of the committee during the cant
paign. 1t seems probable that he will
be given the appointment because it
would be difficult to get along without
him. As secretary to Senator Hanna
he was placed in touch with every
detail of the great Hanna organization.
He knows the conditions in every
state; the men whose influence is valu-
able and the men who claim to be
great. but are counterfeits. He knows
the fractional troubles and the political
problems in every section, and how
Senator Hanna dealt with them. He
will be personally acquainted with just
about half the delegates to the conven-
ton. All this information will be just
as invaluable to the campaign man
ayers, and that is why it seems prob
able that they will keep Dover at the
front.
