Game 10 Plentiful.

The open season for game will begin
August 18th and game Is reported plen-
tiful in all parts Of the country. Game
Warden Harbaugh has been very active
during the summer and although the
unusually large number Of birds this
season has made the field of sport very
tempting and inviting. the watchful.
ness OF Mr.. Harbaugh has compelled n
strict observance Of tho law and the
young birds were not slaughtered out
Of season this year to the extent they
have been heretofore. All offenders de-
tected have heen vigorously prosecuted.
which has had salutary effect In
forcing strict compliance with the
state game laws and the result Is large
and numerous nocks Of birds for the
open season. Because game Is plentiful
does not signify that sportsmen should
indulge in a wholesale slaughter Of the
birds. No one should kill more than
the law allows. The shooting Of game
and leaving It lie in the field Is criminal
to say the least and all such offenders
should be severely punished. At best
game is getting scarce and every citizen
who goes In quest Of It should at least
from humanitarian standpoint n from
no other refrain from enga ging IN any
wholesale destruction Of the birds.

returned from n trip to Lawyers Cam
yon where he went and yesterday af-
ternoon placed under arrest Henry
Lynn, F. n. Scott and Lydia Scott The
parties We're arrested on warrant
sworn out by Adeline Bolin. charging
them with battery. The alleged crime
was committed about two weeks ago
and is the result Of an old feud Of two
years standing. 1t apepars that in the
section where the trouble occurred
there are few roads and the residents
have been crossing each others prop
erty by common consent and the ar
rest OF the defendants grew out OF an
attempt on the part Of Mrs. Rolin to
prevent them from passing over her
land. The plaintiff alleges that she
was knocked down and kicked and
otherwise abused by the defendants.
All the parties reside in Lawyer Can
yon. Mr.. Lynn being a prominent and
wealthy farmer Of that section, and the
other parties renters. Deputy Sheriff
Foresman brought his prisoners as far
as Nezperce where they communicated
with Acting County Attorney johnson

Mrs. Alexander in the Hospital.

Mrs. J. r. West returned Wednesday
afternoon from Moscow. where she was
present at the operation performed for
appendicitis that morning on Mrs. Jos.
Alexander. Mrs. Alexander was taken
to the Gritman hospital at Moscow
few days ago and stood the trip well.
She apparently was not greatly weak
ened and possessed considerable
strength at the time the operation was
performed. The case. though, Is an
extremely dangerous one. being accom-
panied by serious complications and is
said to be one Of the worst of the kind
that has been in the hospital for some
time. The patient came out from under
the knife in a very satisfactory condi-
ton and at latest reports was doing as
well as could be expected considering
the seriousness of the case.

Afflicted with . Rsrs Dissass,

ID. Musselman. the Is year old son
OF c. Musselnan, OF this city, was
taken to the hospital last week and
was found TO be suffering from sarco-
ma. which is among the rarest tiisea ses
known. IT consists Of malignant
growth made mp Of cells without any
proper intercellular substance. The
growth has fastened itself upon the
boys left lung and has crowded the
heart out Of position toward the CEN
ter Of the abdomen. An opening was
made in the region of the growth which
disclosed the nature OF the disease. The
lad was taken home yesterday. He has
been ailing for several weeks past and
until several days ago was able to be
out and do his work. The case Is a
very difficult one to treat and the re-
moval of the accumulation by n sur
gical operation Is too serious to un.
dertake.

extreme low water the trip was made
very cautiously. In going over the

MARRIED
HIS wealth
r,ue Source Of the ROssi For
tune the $500 He Got
From His Wife.

Make Rossi, the pretender, is being
Xordsomely exposed by his former
..,ss who now see the light and are
..,t,ne freely for publication. The
,..est was published In the Spokesman
peview this week. 1t accuses the
nnook' Of marrying his American wife
.o- money and intimates that the $500
she had is the sum and substance OF
the Rossi fortune. The full report
says:
lanes Plastino, proprietor Of pool
room on Riverside avenue, between
washington and Bernard streets, says
that he regards Joseph Rossi as a DIS
grace to the Italian nation, man of
whom all true Italians are ashamed.
"I am an American citizen myself"
said Mr.. Plastino last evening, but
nevertheless I feel keenly the disgrace
of having one Of my race do the things
that Rossi has done. l do not think
that he will ever return to Spokane
for he will surely be sent to Jail il he
does, and common decency would make
him ashamed to look any of his coun-
trymen in the face.
II have never had any faith in his
assertions that he has immense wealth.
For years / was in the Italian army

most boundless wealth. Their YER
mouth factory is one of the largest in
the world and covers four whole
blocks. When Rossi first made the
claim that he was one of that family
I quizzed him. and doubt if he has
ever been in Torino. He did not know
the name of any prominent family there
except the Rossis> and did not know the
names of any Of the streets or build
ings. all of which are familiar to me.
Judging from his accent-dialect.

southern towns near Naples. Yo,

dialect and his italian sounds unmis-
takably southern. He confessed to me
once that he was born in a southern
Neapolitan town.
when he claimed to be a duke
asked him what a dukes official cos

Good Times Ahead.

James Eldridge came out from Con-
cord, the first Of the week, for Few
days' visit and business, says the
STANDARD. He says that the
old town Of Hump Is now only black
spot on the map, all the people having
left there and gone to Concord after
the fire. The fire had the effect Of put
ting several firms clear out OF business,
as they will not rebuild. 1t Is unde-
stood that d. D. Shaw will not again
go into business. and that the Callen-
der Marcantile company will allow
some one else to do the mercantile
honors of the camp rather than start
up again. ]. c. Moore. who has opened
a hotel at Concord, now has the only
grocery store in the camp.
The Concord company. with which
Mr.. Eldridge Is working. has just
finished a raise from the 100-foot level
at a distance Of $50 feet from the shaft
clear to the surface. A similar raise Is
now being started from the 200-foot

FIRE ADJUSTMENTS
NOW IN PROGRESS
Total Insurance foots Up to Over $4,000;
Losses Will Reach $40, 900 More...front.
age to Be Rebuilt Shortly.

Adjustment Of the recent fire losses
comes slowly and those injured are
still practically out Of business ana
awaiting with anxiety the arrival OF
the adjusters. Though some half dozen
are on the ground but very few OF the
losses have been so far adjusted be-
cause the insurance from the firms has
been carried in several companies and
the adjusters from all must coucur in
the settlement.
A careful review of the insurance
carries by the firms caught in the fire
shows that the total amount carried
was in excess of 5000 and on the
three fourths basis the total losses
then would amount to little more
than $4,000. The heaviest losers are
the firms represented by the CONNER
cial Trust company who have $40. 400
in the fire, the Idaho Trust company
represents $500 of the losses and Pot
win and Pittock s5,100 and Guernsey &
Newton $4,000. The remainder is rep
resented by smaller losses and the total
foots up to over 100000.
A large number of the fire adjusters.
representing the companies that sus-
tained loss by Mondays fire, were ar
rivals in the city yesterday morning
and commenced the adjustment Of the
losses. The adjusters yet to come are
from the Firemen's Fund and the
Home. Fire & Marine. and they are
expected to arrive here today. 1t is
believed all Of the losses will be adjust
ed by tonight. The loss on the Adams
block has not yet been computed by
the several companies holding risks on
the building.
The following are the agents and
companies and the losses they are now
engaged in adjusting:
George w. Swan representing the
Palatine company. with $500 on the
millinery stock Of Miss Kennedy and a
slight loss on the Thiessen bnilding
the Alliance company with a $4,000 risf
on the Adams block. and the Scotch
