BROKE HIS Arm
While BOXING
CONTEST AT CASINO RESULTS
IN SID HUMPHREYS MEET
ING WITH ACCIDENT.

A crowd that taxed the floor space
of the Big Casino to the utmost was
in attendance last night to witness
six-round bout between Sid Humph-
reys of Los Angeles and Dave Ward
of San Francisco. Both youngsters
were perfect specimens of physical
manhood and as boxers were the
cleverest of the clever. Terry Mus
tain acted in the capacity of referee.
The contestants were full of ginger
and snap and furnished the fans an
opportunity of venting their enthus-
iasm when either one or the other
walloped, swung, ducked, jabbed OF
uppercut. The fight ended in the
fourth round when Humphreys SEM
a smashing blow to the masticatins
point and Ward went down for the
count. An accident befell Humphrey
in administering the sleep-producini
wallop, he being so unfortunate as tt
| break his arm. The swapping of tn
bone could be heard in every part o
the house. Manager Johnson and hi
corps of assistants are to be congrat
ulated upon pulling off such class
exhibitions.

ject and then adopted a resolution
iavoring Jones bill, which was to
allow the Benton Power company
tie right to construct a dam across
the Snake river at Five Mile rapids,
FIVE miles above the point where the
Snake flows into the Columbia.
Opposition to the bill started from
TWO Rivers, a settlement on the Co.
lumbia, five miles below the place
where it is proposed to construct the
dam. Residents of that locality met
and adopted resolutions asking that
the government construct this dam
or else throw a lot of restrictions
around the private corporation, so
that land at Two Rivers would be
irrigated and low prices would be
made.
These resolutions were brought to
Walla Walla to have the local Com
mercial club take action. Congress

ever talk of her childhood days,
hence ii was never learned who her
parents were or where they are. She
was married three times, her first
husband being A. P. Priest, a stock
raiser operating in North Dakota al
most 40 years ago. At that time
She rode the ranges with her hus-
band. rounding up cattle and engag-
ing in frequent brushes with the In
dams.
There she learned how to handle
firearms and under the tutelage of
cowboys and frontiersmen she de-
reloped into crack shot, among
aer common feats being TO strip a
bounding jack rabbit of its ears in
two successive shots with rifle or
revolver. In her prime it was declar-
ed Mrs. Priest could floor any two
men in the etrriJory.
Coming to Spokane 90 years ago
she established a hotel, which soon
became headquarters for prospectors,
cruisers and cattlemen. In a few
years she put aside a tidy sum.
While here she married P. S. Harris,
who died several years ago. Leav-
ing Spokane II years ago she went

WALSH FOUND GUILTY
OF ALLEGED DEFAl CATION
Affecting Scenes are Experienced in
Court Room When Verdict is
Brought in.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-John K.
Walsh, former president OF the Chi
cago National Bank, which closed
its doors December, 1905, was
found guilty today on "a counts On
iHdictments against him charging
him with misappropriation of funds
Walsh was permitted to remain at
liberty under bonds furnished by
him after the indictment had been
returned against him a year ago to-
day pending the hearing of argu-
ments on January 2Sth, on motion
for new trial. The penalty fixed
for the offense which the aged fnan-
cier stands convicted is imprison-
n ent for not less than five years nor
rot more than ten for each count
upon which his guilt was establish
ed. The reading of the verdict was
followed by scenes intensely dramat-
ic. When the jury was polled, Ell
tert Palmer, juror from Harvard,
Ills, was overcome by emotion and
wept as he signifed his acquies-
cence in the finding.
The currency commission OF the
American Bankers Association met
here today and drafted an asset cur
rency measure which is to be sub
lnitted to congress soon. The bill
is in same in general character as
the first bill introduced by Congress-
man Fowler, and is TO be presented
to congress with full approval of the
association back of it.
When the poll was completed and
Palmer was further questioned by
the court at the request of Attorney
Miller for the defense, and in an
swer to the question previously put
to him: as that your verdict?" re-
piled, 81 have to say yes"
1t developed later Palmer is large
ly responsible for the long delibera-
ton of the jury. So insistent was
he that Walsh should be acquitted
that he forced his fellow jurors to
take separate ballots on every one
of the $50 counts in the indictment.
Palmer's reason was that Walsh is
such an old man, being over seventy.
"He was technically guilty" con-
tended Palmer, "but none of his de-
positors has ever lost and what IS
the use OF sending an old man to
prison" He is said TO have wept

Richards Named for President.

Milton \. Richards and H. NJ. Gill
bert are the two candidates who will
ne named for the office of president
Of the State Horticultural Associa-
tion at its meeting in Walla Walla
Jan. $3.50.
Horticulturists of the Yakima Val.
ley have about de-rded to give up
any desire to secure the meeting for
1903 in this city, but believe that the
presidency should belong to the Yak.
ina Valley. and even believe that 1t
should come to North Yakima.
Richards has been president of the
association before and bears a rec
nd which is above reproacn in that
office. Mr.. Gilbert is beyond doubt
the leading fruit man in the state
Of Washington, and his name is sug-
gested not alone on these grounds,
but from the fact that he has never
held office with the association.
Local fruit men declare that a
yakiman will secure the position
and that it will be one OF these two
men.
