ing to reports circulating in the
highest Belgian court circles, King
Leopold has been married morgan
atically to Madame Vaughan, a
French woman, whose real name is
Helene Lacroix. The ceremony
took place II months ago in the
private chapel of the chateau of
Laeken, near Brussels, in the pres.
ence of two aides-de-camp. 1t was
performed by the court chaplain,
acting under the authority of the
cardinal archbishop of Mechlin.
Madame Vaughan is now at
Beaulieu, on the Riviera, awaiting
visit from the stork, and Leo
pold is so proud at the prospect of
becoming a father at 20 that he is
credited with planning tot make
the child heir to the Belgian throne

that the king will cause the subject
to be publicly discussed in the Bel

law changing the order of success

be sure of this beforehand he will
probably not press the matter.

Attention is also called to the
fact that there are tons and tons
of ice and slush on the bridge. The
span is something like $50 feet in
length and the roadway from 25
to 80 feet. This is covered to a
depth of not less than six inches
with ice and slush. There must be
at least four carloads of this heavy

Reports reach the city that the
quail in the surrounding country
are having hard picking these days
owing to the deep snow. Friends
of the little game birds are asking
that something be done so that
they will not die of starvation.
The birds were put into this
country through the efforts of the
Spokane Rod and Gun club and 1t
is supposed the club will try to do
something for the birds in the way
of having the farmers feed them
until the snow melts away.
If the farmers would throw a
little grain out once in while, the
birds could live until the snow
leaves the ground. There are a
few reports that pot hunters are
killing the birds. The quail are
protected until 1906.

Reports come from Seattle that
the coast town will have baseball
the coming year whether it is in
the Coast league or not. A meet

decided to send Russ Hall and Jim

Russ Hall will have charge of

A letter has been received by
John Wood from Thomas S. An

compiled the Brook and Cross
Roads annual sporting record. An
drews states that he will in two

He states that he has all dates fill

One week from tomorrow a meet
ing will be held at the Spokane
high school to form a new athletic
organization. Fraternity men will

The new organization is to be

that no pupil belonging to frater-

that Cans will be the favorite, as

O'Brien VS.. Ryan.
In all probability the next big
fight in this city will be between
Jack OBrien and Syracuse Tommy
Ryan. The middleweight cham
pion has hurled a def at the Qua
ker and it is expected that after
the latter gets tired of chasing up
room in the hotels of Gotham
town he will return to the coast
and do business with the man with
an Irish name but Yiddish descent,
Ryan challenged O'Brien from
Butte, Mont, the other day, and
one of the Los Angeles promoters
announced that he had secured the
match. This is not at all likely.

OBrien left here after his victory
over Fitzsimmons he assured COT
