to the grounds and the fair manage

with the outlook for the balance of
the week. After the inclement
weather of the few days previous
things looked bad for the attend

city yesterday morning was a good
sign and an infallible one of good
weather. Everyone who could spare
the time got ready then to put in
an enjoyable afternoon at the
grounds. They were not disappoint-

as advertised and there were feat
ures and displays such as have
never been in Spokane before. A

against Mr.. Tatro.
1--WE, the undersigned, after MAX

we deemed necessary, and as our

sustain charges of having made
false entries of weights.

made for burning Shades brewery

been made.
