HARRISON AND LONG TO FIGHT
Liehtweights Will Meet at PaIouse
City on November 10-Long
in Trim Again.

SPOKANE, Nov. S.-The date for
the Harrison-Long fight at Palouse
was fixed last evening for November
10 after a conference between Biddy
Bishop and the Palouse management
behind the fight. The fight was to
have come off last month, but it was
postponed indefinitely on account of
an injury sustained by Louie Long,
one of the principals. Long was COM
PEELED to cease training, but is now
in excellent condition. He has been
doing light training for the past week
and is down to hard work at present.
Harrison has remained at Palouse
all the time since the fight was first
arranged and is reported to be doing
consistent training. He has many ad-
mirers among the fight fans at Pa
louise who count on him to win. Those,
however, who have seen Long in action
think the latter mas far the best of
the argument. The men will enter
the ring at catch weights. Both men
will weigh in the neighborhood of
1876 pounds.
A special train, it is stated, will be
run from Potlatch, Princeton and Har-
e.,
attend the fight from outside points.
The train will arrive at PalOuse at
1880 p. m. on the day of tn eight.
Harry Green will referee the con-
test. Several preliminaries will be
arranged, but who is to take part In
them has not been determined.

of Cartridges Found Near
Body.

LEWISTON, Nov. S.-The report of
the finding of a human skeleton in
the upper Clearwater section was
brought to the city yesterday by T.
E. Bass of Orofino. Mr.. Bass states
that while on a trip to the North
fork several days ago, he met two
gentlemen, whose names he failed 20
learn, who told him that an old trap
per had found a human skeleton be-
tween Isabella creek and Moscow bar.
A A caliber revolver and a belt
containing cartridges were said to be
lying beside the remains and a short
distance away a small hand ak was
sitting against tree. Mr.. Bass was
unable to learn any further details
of the affair, as he only talked a few
minutes with the men from whom he
got the information.

LIVED IN TENT WITHOUT PROPER FOOD

-Four little children, Mamie Forest,
Walter and Floyd Merlin, were found
in half starving condition in a
house, unsanitary and filthy not far
from Green Park school a few DAYS
ago. Their father is shiftless, doing
a small job occasionally, but moth
ing most of the time and the chill
dren have hardly been provided for
at all by him.
They were brought into court yes
terday on complaint of Chief of Police
Brown. The Washington Childrens'
Homefinding society, which has been
watching them for some time, offered
to take the children and procure
proper homes for them. The hearing
of the case will take place November
10 at 10 o'clock.
This family has been helped by the
ladies relief society of Walla Walla
for the past two years. They left
here about a year ago and went to
the Palouse country, where the
mother died. Later the family went to
Kennewick and the eldest child died
on the way.
The family was discovered in Ken
newick by the homefinding associa-
ton about six months ago living in a
tent and improperly cared for. Since
coming here the children, who range
in age from 10 years to six years,
have been assisted by the ladies re-
lief society and have been attending
school.
The proceeding begun yesterday is
to either compel the father to proper
ly care for the youngsters Or place
them where they will receive sucn
care.

Wilson met a representative of New
York firm-one of the largest dealers
of fancy leather goods in the world.
This firms representative visits only
the largest cities hence Mr.. wilson's
trip to Portland to meet him.
In the window are to be seen many
novelties brand new to this city. such
as artistic center table pieces, wall
pieces, hand bags, opera bags, library
bags, leather postal cards, cigar cases,
etc. The designs on most of the
pieces are really works of art and rep
resent the handiwork of celebrated
artists. Few are burnt work but on
the other hand represent the latest
air brush work. Nearly all the designs
are copyrighted and miles away from
the commonplace.
All lovers of the beautiful and the
novel should see the fancy leather
window at Wilson's.
