The council held brief meeting
last evening, the only business taken
up being the Sherman street grade.
The meeting was called TO order,
the roll called, showing the presence
of Mayor Collins, w. A. Andrew, and
Geo. Williams. Williams made a
motion to the effect that the council
consult with o. Weile, the city en-
gineer for Spokane, on the street
grade proposition, and have him
check up the grade and the curbing
to see if there were as many blunders
as had been reported. Mr.. Andrew
stated that he wished to make an
amendment to that motion, which de
veloped the following resolution:
Whereas, James Edwards, @. f.,
has set the grade stakes for Sher-
man street, and whereas, various com
plants have been made to this board
that the grades, being changed are not,
where they were stated to be by the
village engineer, and wherefore, Mr.,
Minnick has practically completed
his contract. Therefore, be it re
solved that the chairman of the board
secure the services of Otto Weile, c.
f. of Spokane, to pass on the accep-
lance of Sherman street according to

bank was in trouble was the posting
of a notice at the beginning of bank
ing hours by Bank Examiner G. G.
Jones, stating that business had been
suspended for the purpose of making
an examination of the banks affairs
and that the institution was in the
hands of the state auditor.
The news spread rapidly through
out the city. The bank for years had
been a popular depository for funds
saved by working people. Soon a
clamorous crowd gathered before the
doors and demanded admission, only
those having keys to safe deposit
vaults we're allowed to enter.
An examination of the bank was
begun quietly last Saturday after re-
ceipt of the letters from President
Stensland. Acting upon instructions
contained therein, Vice President
Theodore Stensland opened deposit
box and discovered proofs that the
banks funds were in bad shape.
President Potter of the American
Trust & Savings bank, which acted
as clearing agent for the defunct in
stitution, was called into consulta-
ton. The state auditor was notified
and Immediately sent Examiner
Jones to make full investigation.
The shortage is estimated between
$3.50, 600 and $1,000, 600.

tate and in the security market II

TWO CRIMINALS
TO BE HANGED
Warden of Penitentiary Will Ex-
eCute Sentence Friday

Boise, Aug. Between 8 and 7
o'clock in the morning of next Fri
day is the time scheduled for William
Henry Hicks Bond to die. He is to
be hanged at the state penitentiary
for the murder of Charles Daily
in Boise on the night of October 6,
1904.
At the same time it is possible that
Rudolph Wetteer, the convicted muir
derer of John Vain and Chris Long,
will also be called upon to pay the
death penalty by hanging. In Wet
ter's case the date set for his execu-
ton was August 6, but ON the date a
petition for Communication of sentence
to life Imprisonment ON the grounds
that he was temporarily insane when
he committed the murders will be
considered by the state pardon board
and the warden has been instructed
not to hang Wetter until after the
meeting of the board.
However, the ropes have been pre-
pared, stretched, and the Stacks taken
out so that everything will be in
readiness for a double hanging on
August 10 providing the sentence of
Wetter is not committed.
Both men are said to be bearing up
wonderfully under the terrible strain.
Wetter expresses hope that his death
sentence will not be carried out. He
has great faith in Attorney Allen
Miller who is presenting the petition
before the pardon board. But he is
exceedingly nervous.
Bond has lost all hope of his life
being spared No hope is with him.
He is very nervous but has made nc
religious professions as is common
with convicts in his position. Hi,

SEEK MAYNARD GIRLS

Spokane, Aug. &c. J. Brown
and A. Henderson, ranch owners, liv-
ing near Coeur d'Alene, called at the
police station late last night in search
of their two daughters, chums, who
ran away from Occur d'Alene yester-
day morning. The girls we're traced
to the trolly line, and it was found
they came to Spokane together.
Mr.. Brown said his daughters

be about Is or II years old She is
five feet fo1r and a half inches tall

RUSSIAN STRIKE FAILS
Railroad Men May Save Revolu-
tionistS.

St. Petersburg, Aug. Tn the
light of yesterdays developments the
general strike may almost be regard
ed as a q asco. The summons to go
out was met with some response in
Moscow, where the printers and the
streetcar men and part of the en-
ployes of the gas, water and electric
light plants quiet work, but these
are more than Offset by the OBJECTIONS
in st. Petersburg. An enthusiastic
acceptance of the order to strike is
nowhere recorded. Even in the Dom
etz mining district, where practically
all the miners already are out, the
factory hands decline to strike.
The revolution may possibly yet
be saved by the railroad men, but the
central committees of the railroad
men have not yet reached a final de-
cision, and up to the present time,
in spite of the frantic efforts of the
agitators, not a single important line
of the empire is affected. The line
to Irinoff, upon which a train was
stopped last evening, is not import
ant. Fifteen thousand employees of
the government powder mill struck
yesterday, but this was counterbal-
anced by the return of the men of the
Westinghouse and other factories,
who have notified their superintend-
ents that they will begin work today.

him at the penitentiary and told him
that there was no hope and that he
had better make his preparations to
pay the death penalty on the day set
for his execution. For time Bond
appeared very respondent but finally
braced up though exceedingly ner-
vous.
In the case of both men everything
possible has been done in legal way
to prevent the execution Of their SEN
tances. In the case Of each appeals
from the district courts have gone
through the supreme court and both
have been sentenced on two different
occasions.
The murder which they committed
will go down as among the most cruel
and atrocious crimes in the history
of Idaho. In the case of Wetter, he
was convicted of shooting down, in
cold blood, John Vain and Charles
Long in a sheep camp near Resort, in
Idaho county, in the fall Of 1904.
One of the men he shot while the vic
tim was asleep in his cot.
Bond was convicted of killing
Charles Daily at whose home he was
living, because of jealousy. Il was
shown in the trial that Bond and
Jennie Daily, wife of the victim, had
been on intimate terms and they had
conspired to kill the husband The
woman is now serving time in the
penitentiary for the part she played
in the affair. 1t was her testimony,
supported by other evidence, that
was largely instrumental In convict
ing Bond.
AT the execution Friday but few
persons will be present. Warden
Whitney says he will issue not more
/ than 5 invitations.

Chicago, Aug. with deficit in
its accounts estimated close to mil
lion dollars and with the whereabouts
of two of its high officials unknown
to the authorities, the Milwaukee Az
enue State bank, one of the largest
outlying banks in the city, was closed
yesterday by state Bank Examiner G.
g. Jones. In the excitement follow
ing the banks close, j. G. Wiser, an
official of the Royal league, who had
on deposit in the bank, funds of that
order, fell dead of heart failure.
The failure was responsible for the
death of one of the depositers and led
TO the suicide of another man who, a
month ago, had placed his earnings
of lifetime in the institution for
safe keeling. Henry Koepke, small
grocer, on hearing that the bank had
suspended, went to the rear of his
store and shot himself. He died a
few minutes later while being taken
to hospital.
Riotous scenes followed the an
nOuncement of the failure and a large

many of them women-from bursting

WOMAN GAGGED
AND ROBBED
Two Burglars Enter Room OF
Lady Barber

One of the boldest robberies ever
perpetrated in the city, was commit
ted this morning about one o'clock,
when two thugs entered the home of
Mrs. Williams, the lady barber, liv-
and robbed her. She tells this story
of the holdup:
81 had been working hard all day
and was tired out last night when l
went to bed, and must have been
sleeping very soundly, for usually
am a light sleeper. About one
o'clock / was awakened by a slight
noise, raised up in bed and looked
around. Just then a light flashed
in my face and / do not remember
any more until woke up and found
myself laying on my face on the
aoor, with my hands tied behind me
find towel over my face so that l
could not make any noise. There
were two men. Neither of them we're
very large, and they wore masks.
don't think l could indentify them.
You see l was asleep, and they must
have chloroformed me or l tainted,
for when saw the light, it rather
blinded me, and fell back. a"
When asked how much the robbers
carried away she said they took all
her tools, valued at about $50, and
also $50 in cash. The thieves evil
IDENTIFY were we'll acquainted with
the house. They gained enterance by
tearing the screen from a window in
the shed, which is located in the rear
of the building, and passed through
several rooms, to the one in which
Mrs. Williams sleeps. This room is
located just off the front room, where
she has her shop.
| The thieves evidently used chloro-
form, for Mrs. Williams is suffering
from all of the after effects of the an

She says when she came to she was
lying on the floor, tied and gagged,

raging in that locality, doing heavy
damage to the timber holders in the
district.
RUSSELL d Pew are perhaps the peo-
pie who are most effected by these
fires, as they have heavy holdings Of
timber in that vicinity. They report
the loss of two logging railroads, in

The convention was called to order
last evening by temporary chairman
Henry Heifeld.
The report of the credentials COM
mittee recommended the seating OF
the delegates of each county except
khoes of Fremont and Bear Lake.
d Fremont the contesting gentle
elegtion headed by @. 81. Moon,
as seated. The Bear Lake delega-
on was recommended to be seated
there was no contesting delega-
IN. The first action of the
edentials committee showed
at the Bear Lake delegation was
nseted by vote of IL to 8. After
ard the committee met and reversed
self, seating the Bear Lake delega-
on as shown by the majority report.
bn this question two hours discus
ion pro and con was held on the
hoor of the convention. Vote was
then had resulting in 159 votes for
the motion unseating and So votes
for seating the delegation.
At the hearing before the commit
tee on credentials MIR. Jackson de-
clared that Mr.. Puggmyer of the
Bear Lake delegation was polyga-
mist. II repeat that one Of the dele
CATION is a polygamist, violating the
laws of God and man; and he don't
dare deny that there is bishops
court in his church that the members
place above the law of man." He re-
.peated this on the floor of the con-
vention.
In the opening skirmish E. E.
Kelley from Bingham county, got the
floor. 'This is a question:" said
he, whether the hierarchy of the
church shall rule us or we shall rule
ourselves.
81 read an opinion by the bishops
court directing a Mormon to relin-
quish his title to 80 acres of land,
and the poor fellow had to do it.,
though one lawyer offered to guaran-
tee him that he could absolutely pro-
tect his title if he would retain the
land. want to say right here that
as money getter this bishops court
beats the fittings system.
''Now, the bishop, as compared
with the head of his church is con-
stable compared to President Roose-
welt. If he has the power to make
a man give up 80 acres of land, what
can't his superior do in dictaing how
a man shall vote? We hold up ou1
hands in horror because the Sultan Of
Turkey has a harem. Are we tC
aquiesce in polygamy, which is just
as bad. If you had brother in the

give him stick of candy or an AK?
