cause the police had no clear cases
against them for a more serious
offense.

was induced to tell that a man had
sent him from the old New York
Brewery saloon, on the corner of
Front avenue and Washington
street.
Patrolman Peterson was acting
jailer at the time and the sergeant
ordered him into his citizen clothes
and also had Patrolman Lister don

terested party. Extra men will be
stationed at certain points to guard
unwary footsteps.
AS a matter of common duty to
local business concerns every sher-
if and deputy will be searched on
leaving any public or private
building in the city.
The chief is not taking these
extraordinary precautions because
of knowledge or belief that Spo-
kane offers unusual pitfalls, but he
explains that gathering of the
sort held here to-day is certain to
bring in it's train an invasion from
afar of folks who live by looking
out for easy money.
Among the more celebrated
county officers of the association
are j. A. Denholm, president, and
Harry A. Knowls, secretary of the
sheriffs' association. The latter
was captured early in the wilds of
Mukiltes and Denholm was bred n
old Puyallup. Knowles achieved
fame at one stroke by the thrilling
capture of ''Pinfeather Pete, the
Pullet Pen Pirate" who, after a
protracter trial, was convicted and
sent to the orphans hode.
Denholm is known the world over
for his heroism in tackling the
man-eating blind tiger of Tacoma.

Was Unconscious When Rescued and
 Had Very Narrow Escape.
 Little four years old Bernard Kil- bride, who lives at the corner of Franklin and Chapel street, had very narrow escape from drowning at about 1O:90 o'clock yesterday morning
 The little fellow wandered from his home to the park near the Yale boat house, on Chapel street, and while playing on the edge of the beach he fell into the water.
 A man passing along the street, a good distance away, saw the child fall and hurried as fast as possible to the rescue, but the child had been in the water some little time before he could reach him.
 The water was about four feet deep where 'Berny" had fallen in, and the man waded out and brought the child ashore. The boy was unconscious, and was hurried to the Emergency hospital, where the doctors worked on him for nearly two hours and finally he resuu- ed consciousness. He had so far re- covered early yesterday afternoon that his mother was ableto take him home.
 Despite every effort to learn the name of the man who accomplished the rescue it could not be ascertained, as he disappeared as soon as he saw that the child was receiving proper atten- tion.
