A. w. Amick ana Gustav Wellsandt,
farmers living eight miles east of
town, engaged in fight yesterday
afternoon, which resulted seriously
for the latter. 1t appears that Amick s
cattle had been getting inflow ellsandt S
field and yesterday they were put into
lot, and when they were wanted by
Amick he was told that he would have
to pay something to get them. The
fight followed. Amick was getting
the best of the round, when Mrs
Wellsandt arrived on the scene and
proceeded to assist her husband, when
she received blows with something
that left mark on her head that re-
quired several stitches of a doctor s
needle to bring it hack to normal posi-
ton. When the fight was over it was
seen that d doctor was necessary for
Mr.. Wellsandt, as he had two cuts in
the top of his head that had to be sew
ed up and he and his wife are both
confined to their beds, and under the
care of the DOCTOR Amick was ar
rested today and is now under bonds of
$3.50 to appear next Wednesday.
Soon after the trouble was over Amick
came to town and called at the home
of Justice of the Peace Steffer and
told the squire that he had had some
trouble out in the country and wished
to plead guilty and pay his fine and
get back to work. as he was busy.
The justice told him to wait until
some charge was preferred, and then
the case. would be disposed of. Amick
is we'll known here, and Mr.. Wellsandt
has only been in the country two years,
coming from Germany. = Spokesman

What might have been a serious
accident, occurred lastMonday evening
about six o'clock in front of j. G.
Steffer's residence on College Hill,
when Miss EmlySchelly returned from
the country with span of lively
drivers. She stopped for a few
minutes when the horses became
frightened, jumped sideways, smashed
the buggy and throwing Miss Schelly
backwards into the top, which hap
pened to be down, when the horses
gained their liberty and started out for
John Schelly's ranch, when they were
caught by Oscar Buehler. No body
was hurt, only the young lady was
badly frightened.
Hon. j. D. Bassett, President of
the First National Bank, and W. J.
Bennington left Tuesday evening for
Warden, the new city on the Mil
waukee road near the former Peters
burg postoffice, Douglas County, for
the purpose of selecting and buying a
sight for a new bank. They also in
tend to purchase lumber and let the
contract for the building. With a
bank in that city, that thriving COM
munity will certainly be benefited.
Heretofore the people in that vacinity
had to come to Ritzville to transact
their banking business, which they
will be able to do in Warden after
this. From here the two gentlemen
went to Othello to inspect the work
that has already been commenced in
the construction of a new bank bui1-
ding.

Biq Find of Anthracite.

e. A. Alexander of Seattle has
discovered what is believed to be the
largest field of coal in this state and
the only find of anthracite, states
coast report. The discovery of the
coal by Alexander was purely an
accident. He was hunting and follow
ing the trail of bear in the Cascade
mountains near Bellingham when he
fell over lump of what he supposed
was black stone. Upon investigation
he discovered that it was anthracite.
Alexander at once began an investiga
tion of the land, of which he and two
others are owners. and found that
there was at least 1900 tons of the
coal in sight. Leaving his partner
Louis Darrows, on the ground he
hurried to Bellingham to have an
expert examine the coal. Several
experts came up to the place, more
out of curiosity than anything else,
believing that Alexander was over
Jealous about his strike. On investi-
cation by thu experts it was declared
to be high grade of anthra cite.
Alexander and Darrows then notified
John T. Wheatman, manager of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of Seattle, who
also owns part of the land. Hs>came
to the new find at One and investi-
gated the place. From figures of
experts the claims show liz feet on
the trend and 40 feet on the dip and
the depth is estimated at 80 feet.
When leaving the claim, which is
situated four miles from Glacier, on
the Bellingham Bay and British
Columbia railroad, the exact location
being section 80, township 80 north,
range east, he brought 60 pounds of
the coal back to Seattle with him and
after sending small lot TO Philadel :
phia to be assayed he turned the re-
mainder over to ] E. Thompson,
foreman of the shop. Thompson tested
the coal and compard it ", tn the coal
that comes from Pennsylvania. Thomp-
son, who was formcrl in the coal bust
ness, said that the coal was of better
grade that the Pennsylvania coal for
which people in this city pay SIC per
ton.
When the report of the assay of the
coal was made and sent to Alexander
it was found that the product was
more than So per cent carbon, which
| is trihe more than the best of the
Pennsylvania coal averages.
Since the discovery of the mine the
owners have had several hatterinp
offers for the land but have refused
all of them. There is no stock fol
sale and these interested intend to put
the coal on the market themselves.
Among the wouldbe buyers Of the
property is the Great Northern rail
road. The property is but four miles
from the b. b. and Il. C. railroad
and IL miles from the coast line OF
the G.. n.

J. WEST OF ELY IN NEW YORK

J. WEST OF ELY IN NEW YORK
A New York correspondent of the
st. Louis Republic writes to his paper
the following concerning the young
man supposed to be from Ely, Nevada,
who had money to burn:
NEW YORK.-Mr. Jack West
is the eve thing in town from the
West He halls from Ely, Nevada.
He came to town with a mintful OF
money talk and a yearning to get in
to the center of Broadway. lie has
hit the Hotel Astor and mex will be
heard rom at Coney Island. Mr..
west talks about having $3,00O,000 IN
mines, etc. OF course he annot carry
that amount of money or stocks
around with him to prove his claim.
He talks nearer home than Nevad-
more like Chicago, in fact-and wears
Chicago clothes, for which "Bath-
house John might have been a model.
Remember the name, jack West,
and the place, Ely, ~Nevada-you may
hear of aim giving away 50 prizes at
Coney Island.
He comes to town with all the nash
of a circus, and says he is here for a
bachelor farewell covering a period OF
about a month of gaiety. Then he in
tends to marry a little girl who was
in the "Wizard of or company.
Here is the way he talks:
"I'm not definitely engaged yet
he said, "but I'm starting a bachelor
farewell anyway. I'm here for a
month and I'm going to have one
swell time. l don't want New York
ers to think I'm a four-fiusher like
Scotty. I've got the real dope-nonc
of that stage money for mine-and
I'm going to pass it out good and
proper. I'll just look your little tow
over, and if l like it, why, III buy
it.
"Of course, the real reason | came
to town is a girl-the good time bust
ness is just incidental. Pretty gooo
little reason, too, amt shef" asked
Mr. West as he displayed six assorted
photographs of Miss Henrietta Pol

"Tex Richard is a pal of mine.
He's coming on in a week or two, and

From the Goldfeld Review.

From the Goldfeld Review.
The more difficult the requirement,
the greater the appreciation, whether
it be the wealth of love, of lucre, of
health, of laudation, or a modicum of
that sweet content with unalterable
environment, which is most arduous
to attain and is the nearest approach
to happiness dolesd out to denizens
of the planet earth.
This is the sweet content the "des-
ert rat'' enjoys. His world-all he
possesses and all he woul acquires
bounded by the horizon of plain and
mountain, by the vaulted armament
and by the depths from which in the
sweet stmanana' he will levy toll of
nature.
Sordidness is alien to his character
The ecstacy of storming and of sack
ing the treasure casket-rock-walled
by igneous flow and sediment, defend
ed by the allied hosts of thirst and
storm and famine-not the gaining of
that which the trove will buy, makes
the magnet of the depths. He con-
fides this to the stars when sleep for
sakes his ragged blankets, when the
lone coyote bowls his plant at desc
lation. His is the lust of conquest
that makes of some men soldiers, some
libertines and some "desert rats
