WASHINGTON, D. c., March II.
From far-off Alaska comes a re-
markable letter to the bureau of
navigation of the navy department.
1t was written by Gunner Thomas
Gunderlos, who makes serious
charges against the captain of the
whaler jeanette. 1t seems that
while Gunderlos was enjoying a
little mental obscurity in San Fran

shanghaled him and carried him to
Alaskan waters.

SPOKANE MAN WILL AGAIN
TEMPT FATE IN LAND
OF THE CAR

George Diamond, an employee of
the Los Angeles Wine company,
unterrified by his experience as a
convict in the mines of Siberia, will
return to that country this spring
in search of the yellow metal which
was his former undoing.
Diamond claims that he and two
partners took out OF their Siberian
diggings $4,000 of dust in six
months. They had concluded that
that was enough for one haul in
the land of the car and had packed
their stuff ready for leaving when
they were bounced upon by ST.

ed and themselves hustled off to
prison. Nine days after capture,

Judge Hinkle today overruled the
demurrers filed In the criminal ac-
tons brought under the city Sun
day closing ordinance and thus held
that 1t was constitutional. The
cases will now be tried before
Judge Hinkle, the first one coming
up next Monday afternoon.
The cases grew out of the action
of the law Enforcement league In
having several prominent saloon
men arrested for keeping open on
Sunday. AS soon as these men

were sworn out for all the saloon,
cigar, hotel, drug, newspaper and
railroad men in the city, who had
been doing any business on Sunday
and were arrested.
Last week demurrers to the war
rants were argued. These raised
the constitutionality of the ordin-
ance. Judge Gordon, counsel for
the Great Northern, made the prin-
cipal argument. In rendering his
opinion today, Judge Hinkle said:
II am nothing but a police magis-
trate. and l don't feel able to pass

WAYS|DE ROBBERY
LANDS 0'DONNEL
IN The PEN

George O'Donnell was sentenced
this afternoon by Judge Poindexter
to serve five years at hard labor in
the state penitentiary for the crime
of burglary committed at the store
of Casey & Son at Wayside. O'Don-
mel entered a plea of guilty and his
attorney introduced the testimony
of rancher named Whitzel, to
prove O'Donnelrs previous good
character. In passing sentence the
court said that this was on of those
cases of inconsistency where man
has obeyed the laws long enough to
gain a good character in commun-
ity for the sake of gain in commit
ting crime. The court also said
the offense was greater from the
fact that O'Donnell had evidently
enticed a boy into assisting him in
robbing the store.
The case all through is a singular
one. Three other men were arrest
ed for the crime. Young Witzel,
son of the man who spoke as to the
previous good character of O'Don-
nell was arrested and tried for the
offense, but was turned loose at his
preliminary hearing before the low
er court. Ben Lauri, the II year

GAMBLING IN THE HOMES
IS DECR|ED

Rev. M. e. Dunn, pastor of the
First United Presbyterian church,
preached a lAogthy story on gamb-
ling and THE sins associated with
the vice, last evening to a large
congregation which listened with
rapt attention to the discourse. He
also attempted to tell how to get
rid of this gambling spirit, after
once 1t had obtained its hold upon
one. Gaming has been the topic
of so many sermons in Spokane
that Rev. Dunn did not bring out
any new features, excepting to land
hard and clean upon the homes in
which is allowed the practice Of
gambling in any form whatever. He
said that the saloon or public gam

spring-like weather Spokane was
suddenly plunged into typical

tend to be an arbiter Of social Gus

nationally upon this great problem
which Is vexing the public mind.
He said that card playing in some
places is called social accom-

said that no man could truthfully
call card playing social accom-

avocation of a vacant mind and said
