WOUND PROVES
FATAL

1t was ascertained by attendants
at st. Luke's hospital yesterday
that the man shot near Newport,
Wash. by A. E. Davidson, was Vic
tor Haglund. AS soon as the in
jured man regained consciousness
he told his name. Haglund made
an ante-mortem statement in
which he said that he was I'M
armed, while Davidson had two re-
volvers. Davidson has a millman
who witnessed the shooting who
claims one of the revolvers was
Haglund's and that he was at
tempting to use it when David
son shot him.
Haglund died last night after
suffering greatly. The body is at
the undertaking parlors of Smith
& Co., and will be sent to New
port, where an inquest will be
held.

MRS.THULKE
HAS TRUMP

Local attorneys say that
Mrs. Julia Thulke, arrested in
Fernie, p. c.. on charge of rob-
bling Charles DeNeff. an aged Ger
man farmer, of $4,000 under prom
Use Of marriage, cannot be brought
back to Spokane unless she agrees
to come Of her own volition. She
cannot be eXtradited for the crime
with which she Is charged, IL
crime it is. 1t is even doubted II
she may be convicted If brought
back. DeNeff's report to the po-
lice and prosecuting attorney was
that he had voluntarily given Mrs.
Thulke his money "to keep for
him" From all accounts she is
faithfully complying with the re-
quest. He did 1t with the under
standing that In few days they
would be married, but he gave her
the money willingly, nevertheless.
The object now is to secure
what portion Of the $4,000 Is still
in sight. Detective Enright, Of the
Great Northern railroad. who
made the arrest after some clever
sleuth WORK, returned to Spokane
last night to consult with local
officers. He will return to Fernie
today and try to prevail upon the
woman to return.

emily still very much complicated
in spite of the fact that at yester-

men who quit work on the Review

In stead of this, the men found

Any further trouble over misrep-
reservations through which music
lesson contracts were obtained in
this city for the Osborn Conserva-
tory of Music is probably ended
by peremptory instructions sent
the local institution by S. c. Os-
born from Seattle. The story of
complaints made to the school au-

of the conservatory ipcloses copies
Of a telegram and correspondence

MONEY
IN SIGHT

At 1 o'clock this afternoon the
big Y. M. c.. A. clock licked off
$32,23o for the building fund. To
day the receipts of the Inland EN-.
pire street railway system will Be
turned over to the 10000 club to
be added. F. Lewis Clark and Jay
P. Graves, the majority stock
holders in the corporation, will
each duplicate the receipts. Many
people are taking car rides for no
other reason than to swell the
fund.
Receipts, according to Ten
Rice, secretary, will amount to
$1,000, and he hopes $4,000. Today
will close the hard campaigning OF
the 1900 club as the large bust
ness interests have said that if the
club would raise $4,000 Of the
needed 100000, they would try to
raise the balance of $4,000.

J. D. Buchanan, undertaken, has
brought a serious charge against
James Hughes, attorney, in the SUI
perior court. This morning he
filed an exception to the court al
lowing attorney fees to Hughes on
the grounds that Hughes object
was to impoverish the estate of
William Crane so th9t Buchanan
could not secure payment for
burial expenses. Buchanan al
leges that an item of expense of
$50 said to have been made in pay
ment for an assessment on King
Solomon mining stock, was never
made and that Crane never owned
any such stock. TO the best of

the spirit of the demand that the
men be returned to work. Presi.
dent Lynch ordered them to res
turn pending arbitration. They
did so and many Of them were re-
jected.
D. A. Cartano, representing
President Lynch in this city, wired
the situation to international head
quarters and a reply Is eagerly
awaited today.
The company claims the right
under its agreement to say who
shall return to work. The union
claims that the company simply
demanded that the men be COM
PEELED to return to work, but when
this demand was complied with
has undertaken discrimination and
rejection of former employees. 1t
is held that in order to carry out
the arbitration agreement it is as
necessary that the men party to 1t
as former employees be retained
pending arbitration, as it is that
the men go back to work. This Is
believed to be the meaning Of
President Lynch's order.

ground out the troubles of many
applicants. In Judge Poindexter's
department divorces were granted
to s. M. Love from Mary Jane;
Addie ]. Giles from Robert j.; Eva
l.. Rundle's application was denied
as it was not made strong enough.
Eva did not say whether they
would kiss and make Up once
more. -
In Judge Yakey's department
the first case called, that of Ida
May Winters against Harry, was
denied because of the insufflcience
of the proof of service in notifying
Harry of what was doing. Divorces
were granted to Lullus Welsch
from Maurice; Winnie Falk from
Felix; Sallie Shannon from John.

OSBORN says the guilty man will
never do any more business for
him.
In letter to one of the agents
complained of Mr. Osborn swings
the big stick hard, pointing out
that this agent and two others
have used the public school dodge
before. The agent is given the al
Tentative of Strengthening out the
contracts made on representation
that the lessons were to be given
in connection with public schools
or lose his job. This instance has
especial reference to the complains
made by Mrs. w. E. Osborn and
others.
A copy Of the contracts made
between the conservatory and
agents is enclosed to prove that
the management makes every pos.
sible provision to avoid crooked
work.
In substance Mr.. Osborn reads
the riot act to the local branch and
promises speedy readjustments
with aggrieved parties. The Spo-
kane compliments declared they
were unable after repeated efforts
to get any satisfaction from the

SIDNEY BEGGED TO BE
SAVED FROM HIMSELF

Mrs. John Stone, local charity
worker, called for cross.examina-
ton by the prosecution in the
Sloane trial this morning, broke
into tears as she rehearsed Sid
neys frantic appeals to her to keep
him from harm. She said that
once when Sidney was great, big
boy, taller than herself, Sidney
threw his arms about her and ex-
claimed, ooh, please, Mrs. Stone,
save me-save me from myself"
She said that frequently, from
his seventh birthday up until he
went away to school, the boy
would run to her and ask her to
keep any one from harming him.
Sidney was subject to frequent
Authorizations and she decided he
was a harmless lunatic. She told
Mrs. Sloane Of this. but they
never sent him to sanitarium be-
cause they believed him harm
less. She used to humor him by
giving him the flowers which he
sent to Mrs. Matte Choats, Of the
Bittner company. Mrs. Sloane,
more than a year prior to Sidney's
birth, was deeply interest in the
study of Buddhism, osteopathy, new
thought and all religions. At that
time Mrs. Sloane was an invalid
and confined to her bed much of
the time. She used then to read
Buddhism to Mrs. Stone, but the
latter could not tell what the re.
ligion was because she was never
much Interested.
She said that 1t was a common
occurrence for Sidney to fall in a

ures after his return from Califor.

mia. One time he was effected two
or three hours. They never told
Mr.. Sloane of this, but she be-
lieved he saw Sidney's condition
once. Mrs. Stone objected to the
cross-examination at one time
and said she was there to tell the
whole truth and did not want an
swers put in her mouth.
mouth.
Immediately following the morn
ing recess Attorney Robertson ask
ed that the court order several wit
nesses subpoenaed but that he
would not predicate the attend
ance upon affidavits for the state
to see what would be testified to.
However, after being put upon the
witness stand, if 1t was not shown
that their testimony was material,
he would not ask the state to pay
them any fees. The court said that
under those conditions he would
allow Robertson's request. The
names of the witnesses to be cali,
ed were not yet filed when court
adjourned for the noon recess.
Charles j. Coleman, clerk for
Greenough Bros, who worked
seven years for the Sloane-Paine
company, was then called by the
defense. He said Sidney worked
awhile under him. He found the
boy absent minded and silly. Sid
ney used to steal candy and load
the pockets of his boy friends with
1t. He never attempted any con
cealment He said Sidney used to
paste down his hair and blacken
his eyebrows. The cross-eXamina'
ton commenced just before the
noon recess.
Chris Peterson, the first witness
called by the defense this after,
noon, testified that he had work
ed with Sidney Sloane for some
time at mine near Mullan. He
said that young Sloane acted
queerly at times and told him
once that he was going to order
IL suits Of clothes. In the opin'
ion of this witness the defendant
was insane.
Mrs. Kate Held, the wife Of Ar
chitect Held of this city, was then
called but Mr.. Barnhart was SO
strong with objections to ques
tons concerning the Sloane fam
lily long prior to the birth of Sid
ney that Attorney Robertson gave
up without eliciting Information OF
any consequence.
/ Otis Pray. a clerk at the Went
worth Clothing Co., testified tina,
while playing game of pool with
the defendant about year and a
half ago Sidney stopped in the
middle of the game and threw his
cue across the house.
f. Kellogg, miner of Mullan
next testified that he worked for
about six weeks with the defen
dant in the early part Of this sum
mer. He said that young Sloane
acted queerly. He would stop work
| for an hour or two at time with
out any explanation and was also
talking of buying large ranches
and going into the cattle business

NO COLLECTION
FOR FRISCO

The movement outlined by State
superintendent Bryan in October
for a general contribution from pu-
pills in this state for the benefit
Of the San Francisco school fund,
failed to materialize in Spokane
Wednesday, the day named for re-
ceiving donations. City Superin-
tendent Tormey referred the mat
ter to the Spokane school board,
which body discouraged the
scheme on the ground that 1t was
virtually levy upon parents for
another donation when this city
had done all it could already to-
ward the earthquake relief fund.
There is a rule against soliciting
contributions from pupils in this
city anyway, and no attempt was
made to take a collection here. 1t
is believed that San Francisco is
able to take care of her own
schools now without outside as
sistance. The collection plan was
started in this state on an appear
from the superintendent Of public
instruction at San Francisco 1t
was intended to solicit contribu-
tions from all school children in
the United States.
No response to the request was
made in Seattle either, authorities
there expressing fear that the
contributions would somehow be
diverted to Friscos graft fund.
