WOMAN GRABBED GOLD.
QUICKLY DISAPPEARED

The hearing of Harry Bikes and
Flora Bikes, accused of taking
from H. w. Holdbrook the sum Of
SIS, was continued in justice court
today until next Tuesday.
AS near as can be ascertained
the story Is as follows:
The Bikes ran restaurant on
Main street. They desired to sell
the place and made a dicker with
Holdbrook, who Is a man of about
20, to buy them out. Holdbrool<
decided that he would purchase the
place and went with the Bikes to
the restaurant where a bill of sale
was made out. Holdbrook laid on
the table the SIS in gold. Harry
Bikes laid the bill Of sale on the
table. This is where the trouble
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-02-10

began.
No sooner had the money hit the
table than Mrs. Bikes grabbed ii
and started to run for the back
door. Holdbrook turned to look
where the woman had gone. He
then turned back to the table and
discovered that Mr.. Bikes was
just vanishing through the front
door with the bill Of sale. Hol
brook started for the police station
1t seems the reason Mrs. Bikes
grabbed the money is because her
husband takes all she earns and
spends it. Bikes took the bill OF
sale because he wanted the money
1t is stated this morning that the
restaurant does not belong to the
Bikes at all.

H. B. Ferris, representing the
Spokane Traction company, was
the heaviest buyer at the sale of
school lands this morning. Five
blocks of "a lots were sold by Au-

in blocks 1873, 1874, 1853 and 1874,
which form square midway be-

This square is ample for a base

RESCUERS HAVE FINALLY
REACHED ENT0MBED MEN

the rescue party was so near the
entombed men they could hear
their shovels scraping as they dug
desperately in an effort to escape.
The rescuers were digging a small
tunnel to reach the imprisoned
men. The entombed men are now
shut off from any means Of forcing
food to them. With the exception
OF little soup and coffee sent
through the air pipe yesterday af-
ternoon, they have been without
food for ia hours. 1t is feared they
may starve before they can be
reached. They may suffocate, al
