CONTAINING TOOLS
l0F SOME BUTCHER

c. W. White was arrested this
morning by Detective Mcdonald on
suspicion of having stolen valise
conta lining a number of butchers
implements.
Detective Mcdonald met the man
walking down Sprague avenue at an

without hat or coat and carrying the
valise on his shoulder. When accost-

he had just arrived in town from
Wenatchee, and was bringing some
ore In to have 1t tested.
The mans story did not sound true
to the detective, however, and he was
sent to the police station. There, on
examining the valise the butchers
tools were found. He was given
an apartment in the city Jail where he
will be held until the owner of the
valise turns up.

THE JOKE WAS TURNED

A motto has been given to the pub

citizens.
The motto goes something like this:
''When yer .ookin' fer fun, see that
it's on tn other feller."
1t was given out yesterday after
noon. The originator Of this bunch
of advice is Captain John G. Nc
Clellan, COMMUNICATIVE of the

looking for fun.

CONFLICTING STATE LAWS

money which Mr. Frye invested in

where the community of property
interest does not now obtain nor ever
has obtained. Under the laws of
Washington. the estate of his deceas-
ed wife would have half interest
In his property, and his sons being
heirs of their mother, would also
have an interest in the Spokane prop
erty unless facts to the contrary are
shown. Mr.. Frye brings his present
action at law with the purpose OF
having his property here declared his
separate property and to bar heirs
of his wife from having any interest
1t 1t. In that event the property
will be cleared of a cloud on its title
and he will be in a position to sell
It, which he has not been able to do
since his wife died.

A peculiar situation has developed
in5nre private affairs of John c. Frye
omher of real estate in Spokane which
grows out of the non-uniformity of
probate laws in Massachusetts and
Washington. Mr.. Frye has brought a
friendly action to clear title to prop
erty he owns here.
He is suing his two sons, James
NJ. and George A. Frye. to determine
his sole rights in an undivided two
thirds of lots 1, 5 and 8 of block 2S,
of STATIONS addition and also in an
undivided two thirds of lot 8 of
block of Havermale's addition. The
complaint recites that the wife of
the plaintiff, James Nj, Frye, died In
1900 in Massachusetts, intestate,
leaving her husband and two sons
as heirs. Some time later. her son
Charles died in Massachusetts, also
intestate, leaving his father and two
brothers as heirs under the Bay state
law.

|DA|RYMEN KICKING ON
PURE MILK ORDINANCE

Wright says that the milkmen
would have to buy ice to procure such
temperature and in addition they
would also have to purchase other
paraphernalia, which would make the
expenses more than the money taken
in.
When the ordinance was proposed
1t was expected the dairymen would
register some kick" but it is pointed
out that these and even stricter
measures are employed in other cities
to insure pure milk, and dairymen
are still in business.
Reports brought in to the city
health office show that absolute filth
exists in many of the diaries in the
city. In Spokane the law does not
compel the dairymen to refrain from
