MURDERER CHEATS
THE GALLONS
LARRY CAVANAUGH ADDS HOR'
ROR TO LIFE OF SHAME
AND CRIME.

SPOKANE, Oct. 9-Without a mo-
who was found guilty during the last
term of superior court in this county
for the murder of James Cahill, COM
mitted suicide by cutting his throat
from ear to ear. The deed was COM
mitted about 9 o'clock
Yesterday was shaving day with the
county prisoners and each man was
furnished with razor, soap and brush.
Cavanaugh did not ask for razor,
but while one of the prisoners was
washing his face the crazed man
seized The razor lying on a shelf, and
with one stroke slashed his throat, dy-
ing a few seconds later.
Tie cries of the frightened prisoners
attracted the attention of the jalers.
but before they could reach the pris-
Orler's side, he was dead.
A CowardIy Crime.
The murder was one of the most
cowardly ever committed in Spokane.
Cavanaugh and James Cahill had a
trivial quarrel on the night of Sep
tember 26 while both were drinking.
They were Old friends and Cavanaugh
while under the influence of liquor,
engaged in a quarrel with a stranger
il. the Spokane saloon on Main avenue,
one door west of the Combination sa-
loon. Cahill mixed in the fracas and
slapped Cavanaugh. The latter de-
manded an apology. When it was not
forthcoming he left the saloon with the
remark that he would kill Cahill for
striking him.
Cavanaugh met Cahill the next
morning ard again demanded an apel-
ogy, but Cahill told him to go about
his business. According to Cavanaughs
own statement he then went into a
store on Main avenue and purchased
a heavy Colt revolver and started to
hunt his man. He saw Cahill in front

RENDER MUSICAL PROGRAM
CONSERVATORY INSTRUCTORS
TALK ABOUT MUSIC, ANCIENT
AND MODERN.

At the home of Mrs. H P Isaacs, 553
Boyer Avenue, was given last night
the first of the programs of the SYM
phony club, which was formed in this
interesting in every detail and men,
bers of the club feel highly elated over
the outcome of this first meeting.
Preceding the program, Prof L. F.
Anderson outlined the purposes of the
club and what it intended to do. This,
in short, is the elevation of musical
taste in the city.
Prof r. L. Schofield then gave an
instructive paper on Music of the An
cient World" In paper lasting about
half an hour Prof. Schofield reviewed
the history of music from the farthest
date back in the ancient world of
which there is any record of music, up
to modern periods.
Archeologists have thrown much
light on this matter lately, said the
speaker. Egyptians, from all the evil
dence gathered, appear to have pos
sessed musical instruments 1000 years
before Christ. Singing was also known
he tombs.
Harps, a crude form of banjo. trum-
pets, drums, flutes and pipes, We're the
best known of ancient musical instru-
ments. All these instruments we now
know, have taken thousands of years
to reach perfection and We're first
known to the inhabitants of the an
cient world crude and elementary
The Hebrews and Assyrians played
an important part in the early de-
velopment Of music, although their in
hereLt conservatism prevented them
from making it into an art.
The second number of the program
consisted Of quaint old hymns of the
sixteenth century, showing the wide
difference between sacred music of this
day and that. These hymns were ar
ranged by Prof. A. c. jackson ard
sung by double quartet composed of
Mrs Driver, Miss Mathoit, Mrs. Avery,
Miss DeVries, D. V. Mitchell. Paul
Brainard, Guy Allen Turner and w. L..
Stirling. A quartet of male voices,
Messrs. Mitchell, Brainard, jackson
and Turner closed the program with a
beautiful rendition of AVE Maria,
ur.accompanied.

Reports from Moscow say that the
high school team was able to go
through the University line for yard
age. However high school may make
gains here, she will lot get them by
bucking the line. Trick plays may de-

simply nothing doing when the Spok-
ane aggregation runs up against the
Whitman bunch which faces the ball.
They are fast and hit the line as soon
as the ball is snapped.

The suit in the case is for divorce, and
IL the complainant can establish her
claim the Senator will be charged by
the facts with bisamy, having also mar
ried. as above stated, another woman.

of the alleged correspondents.

permit the reporter to see the complaint
served in this case, but he replied that
he could not at this time. 1t was stated.

on which the complainant relies. This
is signed by two witnesses, the one per-
forming the marriage rite and one other
person. The names of these two per-
sons are not made known.
Other than the information as to the
