A CHILD'S COURAGE
SAVES HIS LIFE

KENT. Ore. Aug. 3.-To be bitten
by rattlesnake. then have to stand
and grit his teeth while his older
brother slowly and laboriously sawed
out the bite" with dull pocket
knife, was the painful experience
Sunday of Evert McKelvey. 11-year-
old son of David McKelvey, who lives
In Eakin canyon. about six miles
from here. AS a result OF his brav-
cry, young McKelvey will recover. II
no had symptoms set In. Sunday
Fvert and his brother Guey. who
is only IS. started from home up to
the pasture for team, and en-
countered the rattle on the way.
Fleeing from their efforts to kill II.
the reptile took refuge in a pile OF
rocks, and as the younger McKelvey
was trying TO turn one Of the rocks
over, hit him on the right hand, No
soon did the snake bite than Guey
McKelvey had his knife out and was
trying to cut the bitten piece of hand
out the torturiug operation being no
doubt the means of saving his life
AS soon as the amateur surgeon
thought he had removed all the poi
son the bitten lad was hurried home
and thence TO Kent, where DR.. Cor
yell dressed the wound.

WAS At PRIEST LAKE

travelling up the lake and disappear.
Soon after its disappearance she
heard tremendous roar as of a salvo
Of 13-inch guns and all was still and
dark once more.
Up at the head of the lake was a
party of campers in which were At
torney Wright and wife of Daven-
port. They had been out on the lake
and were sitting down to lunch when
the illumination came. 1t was flying
low and setting in a northeasterly
direction. Suddenly II burst. The
effect was as If a tremendous sky
rocket had burst and sent forth its
shower of sparks. A terrific detona-
tion followed which shook the earth.
That was the end of the wanderer
from outside the earth's place in the
heavens. People who saw the spec
tacle in Spokane said that it seemed
near the ground. But it had energy
enough to get up into the mountains
OF Priest lake, and 1t is probable
that it was many miles away when
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright saw it burst.

Deputy Sheriff Jim Hone has To-
Gated the aerial wanderer which
crossed the Spokane sky a few nights
ago and illumined the heavens during
its rapid flight athwart the Spokane
valley. Deputy Hone was riding on
car out Hillyard way when the
meteor passed and seemed to him to
be sizzling the bricks off the Chin

east of Hillyard because it was

Mrs. Hone had retired to her tent

see the shadows of the leaves on the

of the celestial wanderer. She hurried

GRAND jury HINES FOR
POOP FARM AT SpANGLE

Bailif Bishop lurked an uneasy
glance of the eyes. The pair tried
to put on an air of nonchalence, but
1t was evident to any one who has
read some Of the recent book crop on
mentality that perturbation reigned

hart was not to be seen about the
upper corridors. He, too. must have
been spirited away, 1t was thought,
by the recreant officials.
The following special from Spangle
was received by The Press this morn
ing:
Fourteen men got of the morn
ing train and passed across lots to
Keeper Stafford's big building. They
declined to state the object of their
visit. They did not appear to be
paupers and after considerable de-
tective work on the part of your
correspondent he learned from unim-
peachable authority that the caval-
cade which wound itself across the
fields was the grand jury. 1t was
learned, also upon unimpeachable au-
thority, that they did not bring their
keyhole with them"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-08-03

Much CONSERVATION and suppressed
excitement existed at the courthouse
this morning when it became known
that the grand jury had been lost.
Bailiffs Maxwell and Bishop occupied
their posts of watchfulness outside
the door leading to Judge Huneke's
courtroom, but there was nothing for
them to watch. The room was de-
serted of grand jurors and the hour
had passed 10 o'clock
Those who have been accused Of
expectations of indictment tip-toed
about the corridors and exchanged
aspirate questions and quizzical
faces. Someone suggested that the
ure-to-be-indicted" ones had kid
naped the body of the inquisitors. 1t
got so far as to be suggested that
the jurors had determined to go to
the Hyde block to hold it's sessions
The distance between the Hyde block
and the city hall gave rise to the
furry that the grand jury had COM
menced on the city hall gang. Some
said that they had gone to inspect
the county poor farm or to see if in
reality the o. r. & N. does actually
run through County Commissioner
Connollys farm.
But 1t was the bailiffs who suffered
most. The rotund form of Bailiff
Maxwell was stirred to its depths.

FAKE HOLDUp
and MURDER
ON COOKS HILL

The report of holdup and bloody
murder which sent Sheriff Doak and
an army of policemen on the run to
Grand street and Thirty-fifth avenue
last night was found to be nothing
but a practical joke, in which one
young man was the victim of the
playful tactics of three associates.
Two of the participants are now
in jail--Lee Ritter, who was "in"
on the deal, and Herbert Williams.
the victim.
The incident happened something
like this: Ritter was to take Will
liams for call at the home of some
young ladies in that vicinity. Ritter
accordingly thought 1T would be a
good thing to have some fun with
Williams. 1t was planned to have a
holdup. He then sought out COM

to watch his wife as Reayther once
had taken Mrs. Taggart to a hotel in
Newport. The witness said Mrs.
Taggart drank whisky straight and
gave beer to the oldest boy despite
the remonstrance of Tasgart. The
officers ana their wives had a social
club at Fort Thomas. The second
year of Its existence Mrs. Taggart
told him she was not invited and two
others also were left out. Tageart
told her they were tire OF kind.
Reciting the events at Matanzas,
Cuba, the witness said one day he
noticed n cut on Mrs. Taggarts face
and was told she received II as re-
suit of drinking bout with officers
in saloon. falling against n dresser
on her return home. When Mr.. Tag
CART returned from the Philippines
In 1908 he visited her in Chicago. She
exhibited $500 worth of fur coats
and costly Japanese kinomas, which
she claimed Taggart bought for her
with his last dollar. The witness
admitted Mrs Taggart took his part
once during quarrel with his
brother when the witness was drunk,
for the first time" He told of poker
games among the officers. but said
Taggart did not play much. Mrs.
TaEgart never asked him not to speak
of either incident to Taggart. He
said the captain sent letter to her
from the rifle range. He told her he
thought some soldier wrote 1t.
