DALLAS, Tex, June 18.-Of all
the unique pursuits followed by
women, none perhaps is more out

Yet Mrs. Nellie Snyder-Smith has

over 100000 year.
And she started s years ago with
4 bricks.
The bricks were samples which
her husband had used in the bust

death. Last year she sold 5000 900
common brick and 100000 face
brick, not to mention other building
material. She not only sells more
brick than whole lot of men. but
has been told that she disposes OF

IN THE COURSE OF WHICH
ROLE HE BATTERS A HUS-
BAND, STAMPEDES A HOTEL
AND LOSES POLICE JOB.

Patrolman McQuillan, the officer
who in befriending Mrs. Cliffie
Lambert a week ago at the Dixon
lodging house, beat s. H. McCrock-
lin, employment agent, over the
head with a revolver, was caught
with the woman at II o'clock last
night by her irate husband.
Mr.. Lambert has farm near
Wilbur. A week or more ago he
received word that he had best
come to Spokane because his wife
was becoming altogether too ia
miliar with policeman. He came,
he saw, but didn't conquer.
Farmer Lambert, as result OF
his incautious peering over the
transOm, is going around today with
his features looking like someone
had done street grade work there.
He was in the care of doctor for
awhile. The fight between the 2
men aroused the hotel and frighten-
ed women while men raced about In
their night robes shouting for the
police, who never came.
Mr.. Lambert visited first the
Ross block, and from their traced
his erring spouse to the Dixon
house. From there the trail led to
the Merchants hotel, where she
registered under the name of MRS.
Jones" and took room g. The
farmer said nothing but waited I'M
til II o'clock. Then he did some
very creditable Hawkshaw bust
ness. He peered over the transom,
SO It's said. He saw.
Then he hunted for Chief of Po-
lice Rice and asked that man be
dispatched to arrest McQuillan and
his wife. Chief Rice refused, but
told Lambert he would hold pri-
vate court over the erring cop He
wouldn't cause his arrest, however,
"for the good of the force" the
farmer says Rice said.
McQuillan handed Chief Rice his
resignation this morning. 1t was in
turn handed to Police Commits
sioner ONO, who will bring it up
Thursday before the commission.

I'VE meet to discuss the relation
of separate states to public land.
We must frame board program to
aim at the speedy development Of
unoccupied lands. The east still

boys and Indians out west. People
in the congested quarters should be

Roosevelt's conclusions on the TIM

ply, signed by Revs. Hart, Magann,
Kimball Brown and Orion:

garbled report of the evangelist's
address to men under the guise of
a pretended interview with fanci-
full inventions Of the reporter"
That is the preachers answer,
and it fits equally the foolish and
false statement sent broadcast over
the state In which the women OF
this city are accused of such a
stage of inebriety that the chief of
police has been forced to order the
sale Of liquor stopped at their ia
vorite tipping places, presumably
to preserve the home and female
chastity.
Chief of Police Rice, former chief
booster for Spokane, is made to
stand for an interview acknowledge
ing his services in behalf of moral
