GETS AN INJUNCTION
AGAINST HUSBAND

Judge Poindexter this morning is
sued a restraining order against w.
B. Kelley, of Cheney, whose wife
brought suit for divorce on the
grounds of cruelty and drunken
ness. The pair own the Kelley
house at Cheney. Mrs, Kelley this
morning testified that she worked
as cook in a railroad camp and
raised $500 with which she opened
the Kelley house. Sometime ago
Kelley appeared there, discharged
all the help and got drunk, she al
leges.
Kelley's defense was that he did
not wish to assist in the manage
ment of the place, but merely de-
sired to stay there until the divorce
action was settled. The court, in
issuing the restraining order,
stated that Kelley was able-bodied
and should find some other abode
during the tendency of the suit.
The Kelleys were married in Cana
da in 1880.

high grade ore, and the miner who
slips it beneath his shirt and gets
away with it is known as high
grader
To defeat his operations the
companies established large change
houses at each mine, where the
miners are compelled to change
clothes before going into the mine,
and to change again after leaving
the shaft.
The houses are fitted with show
er baths, lockers for mine clothes
on one side, for street clothes on
the other. The miner strips to his
underwear on one side of the
room, crosses to the other, taking
a bath meantime if he desires, and
dons his other garments.
The Western Federation OF
Miners made no opposition to this
innovation save upon the ground
that it was a humiliation to the
men. The men themselves in
dividually resented it, They were
not slow in expressing themselves

Press Smile club:
Maybe you think the Spokane
police can't smile. Come around to
the police station Christmas night
and see if the boys don't smile
while they smack their chops over
an IS pound turkey, with roasted
apples, celery and mince pies. The
only one that we don't think will
smile is Jailor Brockerman, as he
won't like turkey, mince pie, roast

a box of good cigars. You can put

Behind this little story is another

A fine turkey was due him Thanks

ORDER Cement
SIDEWALKS

When the questions of cement
sidewalks was brought up in the
council last night on recommends
lions from the board of works that
several more sidewalks be ordered,
Councilman Pratt objected and
said that 1t was too late now and

be spring before the work could

FUNK STARTS
INVESTIGATION
TOO MANY MEN ON THE JOB,
HE SAYS. AND TOO LITTLE
DONE TOWARD BUILDING
NEW BRIDGE.

The storm which has been how
ering for days over the Washing
ton st. bridge construction question
broke with fury last night when
Councilman Funk asked that a COM
mittee of three be appointed to in
vestigate charges of waste, lncom-
potency and graft, under the man
agement of Seymour H. Knight. the
Chicago expert, who has been en-
gagged as constructing engineer at
a salary of $4,000 a year. Council
man Funk in some heat said:
1T seems that every other man
on that job is either foreman or
a clerk. and they are falling over
each other. Last month there were
Sc men employed there, and where
they put them all | don't know. |
have been told that the men do
nothing but sit around. | want to
see those men put to work like they
should be. Last months payroll
amounted to $4,000. There are eight
stationary engineers, and where
they put them all is what want
to find out. Three stationary en-
gines have been rented at a cost OF
SIS a month, and | would like to
know what this expense is need
ed. They will never get a bridge
there at the present rate"
Chairman Laumer appointed
Councilmen Baldwin. Pratt ana
Funk as the committee on investi-
cation. It's report will be made
at the next regular meeting,

1t stood, however. Men who de-
clined to make the change were
spotted and quickly laid off. The
union was powerless to assist them
to uphold their wounded pride. And
so the situation stood the miners
bitterness increasing daily.
The operators point, in support
of their claims, to the decrease in
the assayer's Offices since the plan
was adopted
There is ordinarily legitimate
employment for perhaps six assay
Offices in Goldfeld. Prior to the
change houses" there were 10
times as many. There are about
80 yet. Some or these Offices
handled the high grades stealings,
eXacting a liberal commission.
1t is not an infrequent occurrence
that ore is accepted over the bars
about the town. Goldfield is a typi-
cal wild and woody mining camp;
it is not considered good form to
ask too many questions.
