A comic opera would have been Hat
failure compared with the case before
justice A. V. Chamberlin this morn
ing in which women's tongues, the
bald headed end of broom, cup of
water and sundry other articles play
ed important parts. The complaint
states that Lottie Bissell, resident
of st. John, Washington, was attack
ed by Mrs. d. Jamison, of Occur
Alene, in the tented city in the
Blackwell park near the electric line.
It alleges that Mrs. Jamison, July Is,
struck Miss Bissell with broom, in
the face and pushed her over the
foot of an iron bedstead. crushing in
the latter Miss Bissell testified that
the first she knew of any difficulty
was that Mrs. Jamison came into her
tent. demanding of her to take back
the statement that Mrs JamisOn
had said she herself intended to have
tMrs. McQuarrie put out of the
park ground. = Miss BisselI stated
she had said it and would not take it
back, whereupon Mrs. Jamison, who
carried a broom, struck her over the
head while Miss Bissell was sitting on
the bed writing a letter to her moth
er. She ordered Mrs. Jamison to
leave the tent who positively refused
TO do so.
When Miss BisseIl arose Mrs.
Jamison pushed her back over the
rear of the iron bedstead, injuring
her back, causing her TO be under the
doctors care ever since, Miss Bissell
then pushed her assailant out of the
tent who returned and got her broom,
calling Miss Bissell vile names.
Miss Bissell stated she picked up
a camp stool but did not use il or at.

Jamison about two months: had been
in the Jamison tent once TO sew: that
the tents we're about 80 feet apart and
they we're but slightly acquainted;
and that she threw water over Mrs.
Jamison to cool off her ardor, as she
was very angry. She claimed her aek

Il vote On the $4,000 bonding prop
cition.
The council passed an ordinance
|moyidiug for the extension of the
orporate limits of the city. In this
onnection, City Attorney Mcfarland
hated he did not deisre to be held
psponsible for the data which was
supplied in the ordinance. However
ID believed it was correct, at least,
IN the chief points. He said the
data was gotten from the Panhandle
Abstract company, Of Rathdrum and
he himself claimed he had found OBJ
yiOus mistakes il the boundaries.
BE said there might be tracts of
over five acres but he thought not and
At any rate, should there be tracts
containing more than five acres, that
vould not invalidate the ordinance
except as it applied to that particu
lar tract.
The ordinance was a long one, re-

AT this point the title to the lot
upon which the city proposes to erect
city hall was considered. City At
torney r. E. Mcfarland stated he
believed the city had a clear title to
the property and that 1t could not be
taken from it. This afforded the
mayor the opportunity to give vent
to his feelings in the matter. He
claimed two good lawyers, at the time
of the purchase, looked over the title
and pronounced it good. He said he
would take the property off tie city's
hands and allow it 10 per cent inter
est for the use of the money if the
city would do so.
He proceeded to rake Scott, of the
Press, over the Goals, claiming he had
been preaching this nonsense about
poor title ever since the purchase of
the lot; that he was doing it to de-
feat the bonds, that it is all bugga-
boo of Scott's. Councilman BedelI
asked if the l. o. o. F. lodge was in
corporated and had right to sell,
giving a clear title? The mayor,
pitching his voice in high tenor, ex-
claimed that they were incorporated
and it was all nonsense about a poor
title.
The subject of voting places and
officers for the bond election was
considered and the following places
and individuals we're named: FRS,
ward, old pavilion, registerer G.
Masini; Second ward, high school
building, register, M. Robish; Third
ward, Weaver's store building, regis

steamer wreck of the coast Of Calf |
ornia early Sunday morning. The |
steamer Columbia was bound from
San Francisco to Portland with full
list of passengers, and the steamer
San Pedro was southbound, loaded
with lumber. In the fog the San
Pedro crashed into the Columbia,
aud the sleeping passengers walked to
their doom.
That there was a blunder In
navigation is the opinion Of some of
the survivors. The boiler of the
Columbia blew up as she was sink
ing. She lies in deep water and is
total loss.
The nearest place of any size Is
Eureka, Cal. The list Of dead and
unnaccounted for Is sent from that
place. There Is known to be q mum.
Der unaccoutned for who are possibly
at Shelter Cove. having reached
three in RATS and boats. Reports say
there wree 249 persons on the Col
umbia.
The place Of the disaster was of
the Humboldt Mendooino county line.
IL is hard to obtain information from
he wreck as the survivors are still
scattered.
The vessel which sank of Shelter
Cove on the California coast was
rated a summer home by many Port
landers, who annually made trips e
San Francisco in this palatiAl floating
hotel. The list of the passengers
on the sunken vessel 10 almost halt
comprised of Portland people OF
persons coming here TO join relatives,
which makes the blow all the harder
on this city.
As near az can be learned ct this
writing some rs presons lost theil
lives in the wreck. This number
may be increased or diminished
according to the number OF survivors
who have reached Shelter Cove In the
lifeboats and RATS reported as putting
in there.
Anxiety among Portianders over
relatives has been dispelled 70 9 great

BLAME CREW OF COLUMBIA
Eureka, Cal, July %. %. Swan.
son, sailor Of the San Pedro, was al
the wheel Saturday night when the
fatal collision occurred. In his re.
port to Sailors Agent John Erickson.
the blame is laid upon the shoulders
of the Columbia's officers. Other
mem bers OF the San Pedro substan-
tate the story of Swanson. He says
that the order was given to him when
the lookout sighted the Columbia TO
put the wheel hard aport. Three
points aport carried the San Pedro
seaward, apparently out of the way
of the approaching vessel. II all had
gone we'll the San Pedro would have
cleared the Columbia, but it Is evil
dent that an order, Put the wheel

Columbia. This sent her directly
across the bow of the steam schooner.

vessel vas Stacked Is immAtsrial, for
the crash OF the vessels was terrific.
