A ticket has been sent to L. s.
Mallory, who is now in Chicago,
to come to Spokane and testify in
the case of Seagrave Manufacture
ing company of Columbus, O., VS..
the City of Spokane, the case hav-
ing been brought to collect $2547 40
alleged to be due the said COM
pany for one hook and ladder truck
sold to the city in the summer of
1903.
Mr.. Mallory, who Is to be wit
ness for the city. received a check
from the city of Spokane for the
amount and had the check cashed
at the Spokane hotel. He went 1t
rather strong, it is said, and spent
all the money, and the company
got nothing for their wagon. The
company claimed the city had no
right to pay the money to NAL
Tory and should again pay them
the sum of s2750, minus the freight.
They claim that Mallory appro-
priated the money for his own use
and turned nothing over to their
company.

The Press is determined that the
people of Spokane shall know a
few things about gas and the Spo-
kane Gas company, that they may
demand their rights and know
when they are getting them.
In the first place, the sickness,
the cunning, the smoothness, the
crookedness, if the people discover
any, in the gas company, is and
pertains to our Aldrich, manager
of the gas company. Isaac Ander-
son, for eastern parties, bought the
local company and secured another
franchise here, but Anderson
knows little or nothing about gas.
The knowing is with Aldrich. He

In demanding deposits Of respons-
IDLE citizens, In not demanding de-

In selling diluted product, which

be we'll to furnish the public with
few facts about gas and gas fixtures
In order that they may better pro-

1t has been stated by persons

that there Is more crookedness
more chicanery connected with
gas manufacture and gas market

producing a product, numbered
