HOUSEBREAKER SHOT
Plucky Woman Wounds Man
Who Attempted to Assault Her
He is Now in Jail at Standpoint

Monday night between IL and IL
O'Clock. Mrs. o. F. Allen, who lives with
her family of seven little children, on
the Nagle ranch three-quarters of mile
east OF town, was awakened by the
noise OF man breaking into the house.
She recognized the voice demanding ad-
mission as that of man named Dona-
gan. Donagan demanded that she come
down stairs but on her refusal to do so
asked that he might have some blankets
to sleep on the floor. With this request
she was complying and while handing
down the blankets from upstairs he
seized her arm and dragged her to the
lower floor. A fierce struggle followed in
which she managed to free herself and
escaped to the upper floor taking with
her 1870 rifle. Donaghan attempted
to follow her and she fired at him twice
as he reached the top of the stairs, one
bullet entering his right arm about at
the elbow and coming out at the shoul-
der and the other going through his
shoulder, the two coming out very close
together. He fell to the floor below and
one of the children came to town after
Constable Newsome who took the man
in charge and summoned medical as.
sistance for him.
The bullets made nasty wounds and
the man is in serious condition. He
was taken to Standpoint Tuesday noon
by Constable Newsome where his in.
jurles are being treated at the county
hospital. II he recovers the courts will
mete out to him what he deserves
Donaghan was a very penitent man the
next morning and admitted that he had
got what he deserved.
The plucky woman is entitled to much
credit for the brave fight she put up ir
defense of her home and honor. Dona.
CHAN had been drinking and resorted to
desperate means to accomplish his pur.
pose. His entrance into the house was
made by chopping in window after he
had failed in the attempt to chop in the
door. He has been working at the Falls
and other places in this vicinity fol
several months. The repulse and in
juries he suffered should serve as
warning to others of his stamp abou
town.

There are about 20 cases OF smallpox
among the Calispel Indians in the via
cinitv of Cusick. Most of the cases are
at the Calispel village on the east side
of the river but there are several cases
near the town of Cusick. There have
been no fatalities as yet. DR.. Phillips
who has charge of the cases states that
the disease is not spreading, no new
cases having been reported for several
days.

sign from the presidency of the Spokane

tain false and defamatory words regard
ing him uttered by Edward r. Ward.
David B. Birks yesterday began suit
against Ward for damages in the sum OF
$13, 800. The Spokane Lead Mine COM
pany has claims in the Metaline and
this summer erected a 100 ton concen-
traitor which however has not been ope-
rated on account of dissensions in the

All the rest of the states are safe fol
Taft, with the exception OF Maryland
and Missouri, where the issue is so close
that an official count may be necessary
finally to determine the result.
Washington went Republican by be
tween 10000 and $4,000. The entire
state ticket is elected, as are also the
three congressman. A Republican leg
islature is assured, which means the
election OF Wesley L. Jones as United

STEVENS co. RETURNS
Republicans Win All But Two
County Offices.
How Newport Precinct Voted

Stevens county went Republican by
about 1000 majority on the head of the
ticket. While the returns are not yet
all in telephone reports from the county
seat this afternoon are to the effect that
the Republican county ticket is elected
with the exceptions of Turk for sheriff
and Mrs. Noble, candidate for county
super rintendent. Judge Carey has a
very large majority. Graham, Demo-
crat. will win out for sheriff by about
700: Miss Hard, Democrat, for county
Superintendent, by about 200. DR..
Sutherland defeated w. /. Fountain for
commissioner from the Third district
by 45O. Chas. Adams, for treasurer,
wins by over 1000. kirkpatrick for
prosecuting attorney, Bottorf for as
SCISSOR, Manning for surveyor, johnson
for clerk and Jesseph for auditor all
have safe majorities. The Republican
legislative ticket is elected.
The election in Newport precinct pas
/ sed off very quietly. Neither party
made any great effort to get out the
vote, hence there were only 267 votes
cast out of 1873 registered. The feature
of the vote was the increase of the
socialists from 9 two years ago to 2l this
year.
Following shows the complete vote OF
Newport precinct, the first named for

Latest returns indicate that William
H. Taft, of Ohio, as president, will have
a vote of 800 in the electoal. college.
This is within Is votes of the forecast
made by Chairman Frank Hitchcock,
and 81 more than ma jority of the total
electoral vote of 4e3 If Missouri votes
for Taft his total may reach 327. News
of the late returns indicate that Mary
land, after vacillating during the day
and apparently being safe for the Dem
ocrats, has swung into the Taft column.
The unofficial figures give Mr.. Taft the
state by 1876 votes. Indiana and West
Virginia, as we'll as Montana, turned
out to be safely Republican.
If Missouri, which late developments
places in the doubtful column, goes for
Bryan, he will have total of ia votes,
two less than he received in 1906. In
1904 Mr.. Parker received only 140 votes,
in 1900 Bryan received l55 votes and in
1896 the Nebraskan received 176 votes.
Mr.. Taft's 800 electoral votes compare
with 1886 received by Roosevelt in 1904,
292 received bv Mckinley in 1900 and
27l received by Mckinley in 1896.
Judge Taft's plurality in the state Of
New York, according to corrected figures
late last night, is 203, ,495, more than
$4,000 in excess of President Roosevelt 3
plurality of four years ago. He carried
Greater New York City by 15,645 ma
jority.
Governor Charles E. Hughes was re-
elected in New York state by II ,l67.
Latest returns indicate that in the
national house of representatives the
Republicans will have 2O8 members and
the Democrats l72, with II districts
missing.
The senate retains its present COM
plexion, although there will be ma
terial change in it's personnel.

MEDICAL MEN AT WAR.

Denver, Oct. 10.-The old mooted
question of the right to practice med
lcine without license and the dis
crlmination between regularly Ii
censed physician. an unlicensed ply
sician and a person whose religious
tenets do not permit him any prac-
tice of medicine at all. was before the
supreme court today, and that trib-
unal will again have to settle the
question that from time to time aris-
es out of jealousy, business competi-
tion and different beliefs.
Some time ago o. S. Rhodes was
granted a license to practice medi-
cine in this city. Trade did not come
as rapidly as he desired, and SO he
htted himself as a specialist and be-
gan to advertise that he was a spe-
cialist in certain lines of diseases.
Immediately the state board of
medical examiners changed their
opinion about his being worthy to
hold one of their licenses. and, with
out any written notice or complaint.
they called him before them one day
and revoked his license.
Rhodes did not believe that this
revocation disqualified him from dop-
ing out the same pills and the same
liquids that he had previously doped
out, when he held the nine by twelve
slip of paper signed by half dozen
physicians; so he went ahead, con-
tinued his advertisement and contin-
ued to accept the money from his
patients.
Somewhere in the legal history of
colorado some Legislature has enact
ed law that to practice medicine
without license is criminal; and so.
even though Rhodes was qualified
for the license with the exception
that he advertised, he was arrested
and fined $50 and costs.
His attorneys, John T. Bottom and
/. b. Melville. appealed the case to
the supreme court, and that court
heard arguments on it today
Under the law, an osteopath and
4 Christian scientist are exempt from
its provisions. The attorneys for
Rhodes maintained that this was
class legislation and that under its
provisions the chap who happened
to hold license from the state board
could practice medicine. the Christian
scientists and the mental healer who
didn't have license could cure the
sick whether they called it practicing
medicine or not, while this man who
happened to spend S25 for an ad in
newspaper had to take down his
shingle and see the licensed drug dis
penser and the unlicensed thought
dispenser get his clientage and his
patients.

BUNCo IN ARIZONA.

Miss Lillian Mortimer, the auth
Dress of "Bunco in Arizona" has in
troduced into this play one of the
most startling and sensational me-
chanical effects ever devised. The
scene is at the mouth of n mine in
the midst of the Rockies. There is a
deep ravine of rushing water between
it and the main path and the only
accessible way to reach it is by n
wooden trestle or bridge. AT the shaft
is the mine machinery with a giant
belt across the ravine which is assist
ed in its workings by hydraulic pow
er turned on by switch at the other
end. An Englishman who is in lear-
ue with an Indian Chief named
Blaclhawk, is aiming. by forged
deeds, to wrest the mine from its
present owner. They manage to i'm
prison the miner in his mine for
several days, but his adopted daugh-
ter. "Bunco." discovers the conspira-
tors in the vicinity. She informs her
bethrothed, who goes to search the
mine. At the entrance he is struck
down by the Indian while the Eng
lishman places five-minute fuse

they destroy the bridge and secrete
themselves because they see some
one approaching. "Bunco" dashes

SPRYS JOB AS MARSHAL DEPENDS ON
VIEW TAKEN BY ATTORNEY GENERAL
May Get Leave of Absence Until After Election His Resig
nation May Be Politely Requested.

Washington today, but il is said at his
office that one of Two courses may be
pursued, provided the attorney general
is officially advised of Spry's nominal
ton. Ether Spry will be called upon
to resign the marShalshiD. or he will
be given leave of absence until after
election.
The mere fact that an official of this
department has been nominated for
some elective office in his own state is
not always looked upon as justification
for demanding his resignation" said an
official of the department of justice.
No General Rule.
There is no general rule governing
such cases. Each case depends upon
its merits and its peculiarities. If the
official does not make use of his federal
position to promote his political welfare.
and If his campaign does not interfere
with his government work. 1t is Gus
tomary TO grant him leave of absence
until after election, but if his campaign
ing is to be of such nature as to in
terfere with the government business
in his charge, and If II Is not convenient
TO grant him leave of absence, then he
will have to tender his resignation. I'm
til Mr.. Spry's case is called TO the at
tention of the attorney general it will
not be possible to state what action
this department will take, for we Go
not know the situation in Utah OF the
effect Spry's campaign might have on
our work in his Office. Doubtless this
matter will be brought before the at
torney general very soon and he will
determine what is TO be done"

farmers are bringing water TO the resi-

water than peddling produce. Water
sells at cents a gallon, and many are

At Duncannon, near Harrisburg, the
Susquehanna river IS lower than IL has
been in more than hundred years. In
September, 1874, the river was lower
than il had been since 1S03 and a stone

non was marked and dated. Yesterday
the stone showed that the river is now
ten inches below the mark placed there
in 1874.
) In Philadelphia the SchuyIkiIl river
is lower than it has at any time since
1869. and canal boats are stranded at
different points in the river between
