BROWNS IN
THE RIVER

A man named Miller, who came
in from the McGoldrick camp eight
miles from Occur d'Alene on the
Fourth, fell over the embankment
into the river near Ondawa Inn on
Stevens street about 9 O'Clock this
morning.
Miller was formerly in the en-
ploy Of the Spokane Humane So
ciety. One of his fellow workmen
at McGoldrick's said he comes
from Keokuk. Iowa, and that his
father was former assistant war
den at the Saltwater (Minn.) peni.
Tertiary.
When word was telephoned to
the police station that a man was
in the river Jailer Dial and Humane
Officer Rudersdorf grabbed up the
graphing hooks and hurried to the
scene
Following directions furnished
by spectators at the top Dial cast
the gfappling hook and caught the
body the first throw. They hauled
1t ashore, Just as a boat was put
ting off from the fire station.
The, body was taken to the alley
behind Ondawa Inn and efforts
made7to revive life by rolling over
a barrel under the directions of DR..
Keene. assistant city physician.
But Miller had been in the water
too long and all efforts to pump the
water from his lungs proved fruit
less.

The Washington Water Power

derstood that Councilman Pratt's
resolution takes care Of this little
account by including it in the re-
pair agreement.
In all probability the company
will have to be forced to observe
the councils instructions. A con-

But the council, If 1t be sincere.
has several very good cards to play
in game of that sort. Proba bly,
the bridge franchise is not alto
gether out of reach.
In that connection 1t might be
remembered that the repair work
alleged to have been performed by
the company was never accepted
by the council. The company fol
lowed Its own simple system of
accomplishing President Richards
promise Of safety and convent
ence" and appropriated the bridge.
What legal action has the COM
pany to show that 1t ever made
any attempt to. comply with the
repair contract agreement? The
city council has accorded no official
recognition to such compliance.
Possibly, after all, the company's
able legal department may find it
profitable to advise a sort of
thanksgiving that things are no
worse than they are and let 1t go
at that.
