he held up bottle supposed to have
the bouquet of cherries all the way

was musty and altogether unpleasant
In fact, 1t was decidedly bad. He con-
tinued:
Now, the man paying 20 cents for
his tiny glass of cordial after dinner
Is entitled to have II free from imper-
fections. If he bought bottle of
wine with that flavor he would say
the wine was bad. for ninety men out
of hundred know nothing about bad
corks. He would want another bottle
of wine or his money refunded, and he
would be right

GUARDS BRICK
WITH A RIFLE

With loaded Winchester and
marshal tread H. Thomas Owens,
colored and brave, with do or die
look, this morning successfully
guarded 10000 bricks at the Cal
vary Baptist church on Third av.
that since the elimination of Pas
tor Wilson have been the bone of
contention between the two war
ring factions. Diplomatic relations
have long been severed. Neutral
whites of the neighborhood, fearing
hostilities, called the police and in
formed them that H. Thomas was
presenting such belligerent ap-
pearance with his cloudy visage
and weapon that they had better
send reinforcements.
Before the police reached the
scene, however, another colored
man named Ball advanced in bat
tie array armed with a club, and
quietly began to toss bricks over
the fence off the church property.
The GOODNESS with which he went
about his work and his evident
contempt for the sentry, caused H.
Thomas so much wonder that he
didn't open fire as the neutral
whites expected.
Before anything developed, Pa
trolman Hage bore down in full
marching order. Thus reinforced.
Ball was soon master of the battle
ground. The officer took Owens to
cfo 1nf Doll in
session of the bricks.
About a week ago Pastor Will
son was Ousted after numerous
controversies during one of which
someone took the old lock off the
church door and padlocked it so
tight that it took an order of the
court to give the pastor possession
again.
For several years the older
members of the congregation have
worked hard to get the church out
of debt. At various times the
brick companies donated bricks I'M
til now 10000 are piled up along
side the church.
Following his arrest Owens told
Police Chief Rice that the Wash
ington Brick & Lime Co. had au-
thorized him to move the bricks
so last night he informed Attorney
w. d. Scott who represents the
opposition, of his intentions. He
told the chief that Scott inform
ed him that he has instructed his
clients to guard the bricks.

TRACTION CD.
IS STUBBORN
DECLINES TO MAKE WRITTEN
AGREEMENT ON BRIDGE
COST-ONE BILL TO BE
COLLECTED FROM w. W..
p. c.

Why has not the Traction Co.
put into writing it's offer to pay its
proportionate share of the cost of
the new concrete bridge on Wash
ington St?
Several months ago the council
appointed committee composed
of Mayor Moore, Commissioner
ONO, Pres. Pratt and Councilmen
Phillips, Baldwin and Gray as a
committee to put the streetcar
companies on record.
The Washington Water Power
Co. put into writing an agreement
to pay it's proportionate Share of
the cost of the proposed new How
ard st. bridges. But the best the
committee has gotten from the
Traction people is that it wants
the city to give it credit for what
ever it pays on the Washington st.
bridge on the proposed viaduct
which is to extend from the bridge
to the hill and passing over the
Spokane International, Great
Northern and O. r. & N. lines.
The committee asked the Trac-
ton people for an agreement to pay
its share Of the bridge cost.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the w. w. p. has given its written
agreement for a share of the cost
on the Howard st. bridges, its sim
cerity is doubtful, owing to its ac-
tons with regard to the cost of
the temporary bridge on Howard
st. which replaces the structure
that one of it's cars knocked down.
1t was determined that the COM
pany's share of the temporary
bridge was $1,700. Payment was
refused.
The board of works has put the
matter into the hands of the cor
poration counsel for collection
through the courts.

in the meeting called by the young
democratic club in the police court
room in the city hall Invitations
have been personally rendered the
Johnson leaders to present their
claims in behalf of The Minnesota
man, but theer is no prospect OF
an overwhelming delegation. Fred
Miller said he would probably
come, and maybe Fred Robertson,
but the oJhnson campaign is like
ly to continue on the quiet, as it
was worked in the caucuses.
Old democrats as well as young
will be out tonight. 1t is not the
intention to pack the meeting for
Bryan, but the democrats behind
the movement want final demon
stration of the trend of sentiment
in this city in regard to the two
leaders on the basis that the ma
jority choice should be decisive.
The Bryan men want to be shown
why Johnson is better candidate
than Bryan, and in turn they want
to show the Johnson men why Bry-
an is the logical choice of the
party.
Tomorrow the country precincts
will nominate county convention
delegates in mass primaries held

les will be held from to 8 p. m.

WITH BULLET

Two shots from Patrolman

stop Spencer Reed, a negro, at 2

robbed Herman Boltz of a few hard
earned dollars in the Great North

from Milan and was tagged out. He
went to the hotel and fen asleep on

to show him a room. The negro
had gone completely through all of
his pockets and was about to make
successful getaway when his vic.
tim awoke and notified the clerk,
who set out in pursuit They dash
ed down the stairs, the negro well
in the lead
men stepped in front of the
fleeing negro AMI succeeded in
stopping him. He then pulled IA
knife and would have opened up a
way to safety but for the presence
of Patrolman Deery. At sight OF
him Reed knocked down one of the
men and set out again on the run,
The officer fired high, but only in
creased Reels speed. He was in a
fair way to make his escape into a
woodward when a white man
showed his foot in front of him and
sent him sprawling, He regained
his feet and was putting so much
distance between himself and the
officer dthat the latter firel to hit
him. The whiz OF the bullet past
his ear had the desired effect. At
the station II was found that he
had Boltz's money, jacknife and
piece of tobacco.

Quoted for hospital fee. This is the
usual hospital deduction for the
first half of a month.
On April IA he worked nine
hours and got fired. From his
$3.50 was deducted another so
cents hospital fee for the last half
of the month which, according to
the company's calendar, comes be-
fore the middle of the month when
there Is a chance to hold it out of
an employees pay check. The fact
that he has already paid for the
first half doesn't bar collection for
the last half before the first half
in finished, of course. If the man
didn't want to pay it he shouldn't
have got fired. After Oldendorf's
board bill had been deducted in ad-
dition to his double hospital fees
for less than a weeks work he was
permitte to escape from the office
with 80 cents in his pocket.
That must have been an over

LOG JAM Threatens
WASHINGTON BRIDGE

A log jam last night threatened
the temporary Washington ST..
bridge. and streetcar crossing was
stopped. Cars will be running
again by evening after bridgemen
have strengthened the structure. A
policeman at l o'clock this morn
ing was attracted to the bridge by
the pounding of the logs and found
the frail structure trembling from
the force OF the blows. He notified
headquarters ami Commissioner
ONO was routed out.
1t was the probability of such q
jam which caused City Engineer
Ralston's fear for the new concrete
structure. Luckily the concrete
work was finished and the braces
removed about a week ago so that
the present jam did not tharm the
expensive structure.

In his appeal Sec. Merritt set
forth that the building had been
erected by public money and one
of it's promised uses was that of
affording adequate accommodation
for conventions and other public
meetings of magnitude. The con
ventiOns were represented as gath
erings of men exercising their Gus
tOmary and legal duties as repre-
sentatives of the public which had
built the armory, which Is now
used for show purposes when

The charge of $3.50 for a func-

the democratic idea of popular gov
eminent a bit. Hence the appeal
to the governor. If both parties

hall this year the democrats can
