Among the several who assign TINS
cause for the wreck and attendant
loss of life Is Fred Fish, real estate

camping at Diamond lake for
week before the wreck. Each day
he walked to Camden down the
railroad tracks for the family mail.
Said Mr.. Fish this afternoon:

ties and different spikes which
were not holding. In former years
we have camped along the line OF
the Northern Pacific and in our
week at Diamond lake we often
commented on the difference In the
roadbeds and ties Of the two roads.

heavier trains have passed safely

SUES
CITY FOR
$3898

The sovereign state of Washing
ton has decided that it has not
been receiving enough booze
money from some of its municipali-
ties, and has commenced suit to
recover back percentages on re-
oeipts for liquor licenses against
Spokane, Walla Walla, Rockford,
Oakesdale. Pullman and Harring-
ION.
This morning the complaints
gainst Spokane and Rockford
we're filed with County Clerk
koontz. Yesterday the complaints
we're filed in Walla Walla, Lincoln
md Whitman counties against the
)ther municipalities named. Wash
'ngton wants $9S9S.66 from Spo-
zane and $3.50 from Rockford, with
interest from the time - the hold
ing out" of the percentage.
The allegation is made that Spo-
kane has collected since the enact
ment Of the liquor law in 1883 the
gross sum Of 1929. 1869. ten per
cent Of which should have gone to
the state. Spokane has paid but
sS9,075 Of that, while $s2,s73. SO
should have been paid, according
to the state authorities.
The difference is said to lie In
the matter Of percentages of the
license fees paid FOR wholesale
business. The state claims that
Spokane has received between
1888 and June, 1905, $3S,9S6.6O on
the score of the Wholesale trade,
and has not turned over the 10
per cent to the state.
An analogous claim is made
against the other municipalities
named.

that 1t has no record of Mr.. New.

says that she has given up all hope

his family know that he had es-
capped. There 10 also the belief of
c. G. Mihills that 1t was Mr.. New

from him when the train went
down and the acetylene exploded.

stances Mr.. Newcombe's death ap-

DIVER IS
At WORK

The Great Northern has a diver
at work today at the scene OF the
recent wreck above Camden,
where Superintendent Hood is in
personal charge. One Of the chief
pieces OF. work today is the attempt
to rescue the three bodies known
% be remaining in the lake. The
body of Express Messenger Strick-
land was recovered yesterday.
The chances are that the body OF
Mail Clerk Banner will be recover
ed only when the mail car is got
into such a position as to allow
the opening of the door. The
wrecking gang and crane is work
ing on the baggage car and the
mail car is next in order. Yester-
day some stray pieces Of mail
hoated to the surface. probably
through some aperture in the car
the nature of which has not yet
been found.
If the bodies Of Engineer Munson
and Fireman Bell are beneath the
locomotive, it is not expected that
they will be recovered until the
big machine is moved. 1t is still
a question whether the engine lies
IN such a position that 1t can be
raised. Only the report of the diver
can settle that. In case he is able
to get chain around the big ma
chine, the biggest part Of the
problem will be solved, as the
crane will then be able to haul it
up.
