The fight was the worst in the city
since the September riots.
Anderson. accompanied by ]. Frost

Japanese store, when Frost stumbled
and fell hard against the plate glass
window front. The glass smashed and
was just rolling on the side walk
when a score of japanese appeared
from the inside and rushed at the
whites. The fFemen were In HnI-
form. with brass buttons and Official
caps, but the Japanese attacked them
furiously.
Within three minutes there were
dozens of Japanese in the sight, all
trying to get AZ the white men. The
latter were borne to the ground and
cut and slashed until the sidewalk
and front OF the store were covered
with blood
The police station was only three
blocks away, but 1t was a quarter OF
an hour before the armed officers
arrived at the scene OF the fight.

over his PROSTATE body when the pO-

marked with many slashes. up and
down, and from one side to the
other. From the back of his ear TO
his shoulder was a slit two inches
deep that only missed the iugulaF
vein by a fraction of a ninch. His
body also was stabbed In half a doz-

cut and bleeding from wounds ON
their faces and arms. All were TAX

were working over them for hours,
sewing up their wounds.
II is unlikely that Anderson will
recover.

father and mother, and the members
of Washington's younger social set
are awaiting the function with the
greatest OF impotence. AS a matter

mark her debut in the fashionable
society of the national capital. Dame
Rumor has taken advantage of the
occasion to roll under her tongue
many juicy morsels OF gossip con-
corning the presidents daughter and
her alleged love affairs. and many Of

stories to the effect that there will be
another wedding in the White House
before President Roosevelt leaves
Charles Glover, son Of bank pres

the leading sutton for the hand and
heart of the fair Miss Ethel. although
other wise ones insist that Captain
Mccoy, one of the president mill
tary aides, is in the lead In this CON
test of the Lockinvars. The latter is
said TO be favorite with Mr.. Roose-
welt. who would welcome him as a
son-in-law.

MISSIONARIES DISAPPOINTED

Tongue.


SPOKANE, Wash, Jan 2.-Eigh-
teen missionaries of the Apostolic
faith who went from Spokane to
China, Japan and Korea last fall to
convert the heather, have not been
able to speak in the native tongue.
and in every instance interpreters
have been required before they could
make the foreigners understand
them. This information, conveyed
in letters received by w. J. Bursell,
evangelist of the Apostolic Mission
in Spokane, is contrary to the gen
eral plan of Rev. NJ. L. Ryan, who
with his followers in the Orient, be-
lieyed they were endowed with the
gift Of tongues and that they
would be able to converse in the nat
i've language of those to whom they
would minister. Funds are being
sent to the missionaries, and SO far
Mr.. Bursell says there has been no
lack of money or food. adding,
Whenever our people in the for
eign countries get hard up they simp-
ly get down and pray and the funds
come through providence. In every
instance thus far the money has been
received without solicitation, being
forwarded from various parts OF the
eastern, middle, western and south
ern states and Canada and Europe. .

DAM DAMAGE
CASE IS FILED
Washington Water Power Company
Must Answer in Court

Through a suit filed in the dis
trict court at Rathdrum, Elmer Doty,
n Harrison, and a number of others
who own farms in the valleys Of the
rivers draining the Occur d'Alene
basin, have asked for an injunction
restraining the Washington Water
Power company from backing water
over their land and the appointment
OF master to determine the amount
of damages already done by water
that has overfown their land as a
result of the raising of the dam at
Post Falls.
The suit was filed by w. G. Jones
and w. T. Stohl of Spokane and Ed
win McBee of Rathdrum. The dam
is across the Spokane river at Post
Falls and tributaries to it are said to
be affected by the elevation of the
dam. The Washington Water Power
company has one of its large power
developing plants at Post Falls,
creating something like 5000 horse
power.
Mr.. Doty and the other farmers
allege their land has been dam
aged. The back water destroys their
meadow land and cuts off other land
from the several properties in such
a manner that they cannot get to it.
They are contemplating establishing
a system of causeways and canals to
drain their land in order that they
may be able to put in crops for the
coming season.
The suit in question, it is asserted,
will involve many thousand acres of
land when it goes to trial. The far
mers owning farms in the basins of
the Occur d'Alene lake, Wolf Lodge
bay Carlin bay, the st. Joe river and
Occur d'Alene river, have Joined is
sues with MIR. Doty.
The plaintiffs did not ask the court
for a temporary restraining order
from the fact that a prohibitive bond
would have to have been filed and
thousands of dollars of cost would
have been put up to the Power COM
pany to build bikes.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs in
the action are of the opinion that the
Washington Water Power company
will ask to have the case removed
from the Kootenai county superior
court to the federal court.
A number of damage suits were
Instituted some time ago against the
company, similar allegations being
made. The cases are still pending.

"The Devil To Appear Here
Costume.

Henry w. Savage's version of
The Devil" which was made by ar
rangement with Franc Molnar, the
Hungarian playwright. retains in a
remarkable degree, the wonderfully
effective light and shade of the orig
inal. Although the play tells an in
tensely interesting dramatic story,
it is inherently comedy often, it
must be admitted, a cynical, pun
gent sarcastic comedy-put the
flashes of wit. the keen satire. the
knowledge of human nature which
the Devil, in the guise of DR.. Miller,
has at the tip of his tongue, keep
the audience internationally bubbling
over with laughter. 1t is this scin-
tillating comedy that brings out the
dramatic interest of the play. 1t is
the Savage version of this marvell-
Gus dramatic creation which is to be
presented at Glendive Opera House,
Wednesday, Nov. 18th, by permiss-
ion of Mr.. Savage and which will
be given with company of equal
merit and with scenic investiture
