MAN
KILLED

An unknown man was killed
about GAO o'clock last night while
alighting from a freight train o
the Northern Pacific near Wall
street.
The body was frightfully man.
gled and the man must have died
instantly. The remains were re-
moved to the undertaking parlors
of Smith & Co. but up to late this
afternoon had not been identified.
Coroner Witter will try to find out
who the unfortunate was from ad-
dresses in a notebook, one of which
was Mrs. Mortland, 161 South Des
PLANES street, Chicago and an
other "Yondorf's Big Store, Van
Buren, and Halsted streets, Chic
ago.
John Jones, a fireman on a
Switchengine, witnessed the trag-
dy and siad the man had one foot
near to the ground in readiness to
alight from the train, when il
caught in frog of the track and
threw him under the cars.

PUT BOSSES
TO WORK

That the Washington Water
Power company is having great
difficulties in securing men to fill
the places of the striking linemen
Is shown by the fact that all the
old men employed by the company
as superintendent or in any capa-
city that did not compel their af-
filiation with the Electrical work
ers' union are taken out to Post
Falls every day in order to try and
get the plant at that place in
operation. Work has been in prog
ress at Post Falls all summer, but
1t don't seem to ever get COM
pleted. Lately General Manager
Huntington has been going out to
that place every day in order to
give the strike breakers and his
former heads of departments the
benefit Of his advice and, it Is sup
posed, to jolly them along In their
labors. The company is securing
no new men and are trying to
break in a lot of unskilled labor
This policy was pursued by the Sc
attic Electric company, but when
the unskilled help became skilled
it joined the union.

CAN'T AGREE
ON PURSE

GOLDFIELD, New. Aug. 9.-No-
Ian and Cans conferred with club
officials till late last night. They
agree on all except division of the
purse. Nolan contends that Nelson
is the great drawing card and
should have the long end. No
agreement was reached today and
it may be come time before articles
are signed.
Both sides assert there is no dan
ger of the fight falling through and
the club is going ahead with prep
arations. The town is arranging to
entertain 1000 fight pilgrims. Siler
is favorably considered for referee.
Bets are being placed with Cans
slight favorite.
Jack Clifford has been engaged
by Cans as sparring partner. No
Ian favors Reno for Nelson's train

Recapitulation OF the detail
sheets for personal assessment in
Spokane county gives some curious
and entertaining information. For
instace, the SO stations in the
county are worth $495 more than
the 43 autos, the latter being rated
at $17,24O. There are about four
times as many mules in the county
as there are chug-chug wagons,
but If one desires to size up the
value Of the bray of the long cared
bybird alongside of the hoot-toot of
the gasoline vehicle, he must con.
slider the hee-haw of Maude to be
worth but $50, while the chauffeur
comes at $500 per honker.
Dollar watches seem to be the
rage. The assessors men found
only 1854 small time pieces in the
county worth placing on the books,
with a total valuation of $59,245.
sewing machines outnumber pianos
almost two to one, the figures be-
ing 1855 and 1860. But the value
is far different. Pianos are rated
at a total of $342.075, while the
sewers aggregate only $oS,925.
People will be surprised to learn

ALL HARD UP ACCORDING
To THE ASSESSOR

how little money was on hand or
deposit in Spokane on the first of
last March, and one may well Won
der how the banks can do such a
tremendous clearing house bust
ness on only $603,335 deposit
moneys. OF course, there were
some notes held by people in the
county, but they aggregate only
$427 .240. Values of all patent
rights and royalties in the county
amount to but 5000. a strange
commentary on the inventive gen.
ius of the people Of Spokane.
To an outsider, who has never
been at grand opera performance
here. it may come with startling
force to learn that the entire
wealth of the county invested in
diamonds, jewelry, firearms,
clothing, ETC." reaches only 1885,
$40.
Judging from the rolls, 1t would
seem that in ordinary personal
property Spokane county is rich
est in horse and animal flesh, to
say nothing of cows and goats and
sheep and chickens. The 16,463 ami
mails of equine kind are valued at
$634,6S0.

CASHIER UNDER

CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Cashier Her
ring of the defunct Milwaukee Ave-

newspaper man last night that &c
would give himself up at l o'clock
this afternoon.
When that hour arrived he failed
to keep his WORD.
1t was announced at $3.50 this
Afternoon that Herring was under
arrest. Arrangements to give bond
will be made tonight.
All sorts of "clews" as to
Paul Stensland's whereabouts are
rumored.
Another warrant for Stensland
VISA issued this morning.
Herring said the reason he re-
NAMED secluded was because he
knew people would not understand
his position and he wanted time to
secure bondsmen. Herring has not
been out of the city since Monday,
when he appeared at the bank and
saw a man posting notice Of its
close. He then went to the home
of a friend. everal weeks ago. he
says. hc.,sgarned Stensland that he
should arrange to meet indebted
ness or the bank would be in
trouble. Herring denies the story
accusing him of playing the races,
conducting handbooks and spend
ig thousands on wine ad women.
Examiner Jones said this morn
ing that figures placing the value
of alleged bogus securities at ST.
100000 are approximately correct.
Directors Of a cooperative store
projected by Stensland held a
meeting today to decide upon the
course to pursue. 1t is understood
that Receiver FetZer advocates
closing the store, which employs
$50 persons.
The receiver says Stensland's en-
terprises never paid. He lost $45,-
600 last year, which was never re-
paid. The bank never paid rent
Or light bills.

A large crowd gathered in front
of the Central Pharmacy on Ho-
ward street last night when Miss
Gladys Hughes of 1914 First ave-
nue. was carried in a faint from a
buggy she was riding in to the

messenger boy named Gordon who
spilled large tray of empty dishes

the Club cafe. The wheel struck
a place where the bricks in the
street were gone and dishes, boy

The Jap, to even things, dirtied
the shoes again and this didn't
look a bit like comedy to the be-

for the Jap boys scalp. Dolan
wasn't the comedian In this play,
but a hard hearted william with a
wicked leer and Jap to lick.
The Jap is now we'll licked, while

yesterday. Broder two years ago had
a solid rock hewn into a grave for
himself, and bought casket. In
which he had laid to get good fit.
He kept a piece OF meat in the rock
for a year to test its preservative
qualities. He was wrapped in forty
yards OF linen which he had pur-
chased some time ago for shroud
Broder left instructions that he
wanted to be buried forthwith,
without any frills." as he often said.
so he was laid in the strange grave
a few hours after the breath left his
body. A bottle of old liquor was in
