Baseball fans whose too enthusiast

police court, Wednesday morning.
Justice Stein. who presided. Is him
self an old ball player and an ardent
admirer OF Jennings men. but he Will
not stand for rowdyism even In such
a cause. as several learned To their
sorrow.
John Angel was one OF those whose
exhuberant spirits found expression
In letting the air out Of the tanks on
street cars, according to Patrolman
John McClennan- The Officer told
the court that he caught Angel In the
act of gripping a suburban car In
this manner. Angel blamed another.
but Justice Stein found him guilty
and fined him $40, with the alterna-
tive of 80 days.
Patrolman' Peter McHugh was a
fayorite target for the cefebrators.
While assisting Patrolman McClen-
non in taking Angel TO the central
station he was struck over the head
with q tin can. Sergt. Theodore
Wilde was just behind him and ar
rested Robert Bedford as the wielder
Of the can. Bedford was found guilty
and assessed S. with the usual al

Accused Of Biting Cop.
Henry Fay, u well-dressed fan, was
accused OF giving McHugh bin in
the jaw near the station. He asked
for an adjournment till Saturday to
get witness, and his request was
granted, being released on his per-
sonal recognizance To appear then.
Clarence Gordon, another alleged
rioter, threw brick, according to
Patrolman McClennan. He paid a
fine OF $40 rather than go to the
works for so days. All the others
followed Gordon's example and
settled. Sam Anderson, a Ne
gro boy, and George Grathoff
were gathered in by Dan Coughlin,
but as the officer had nothing definite
against them they were let 60.
The talcum-powder battery was

Progress Of Work at the Falls.

The work on the new bridge of the
Great Northern at Albeni Falls is be-
ing rushed as rapidly as possible. The
abutments to the bridge have been COM
pleted, and one of the Golfer dams for
use in constructing the piers nearly COM
pleted. Another dam is partly finished
The work of constructing the piers has
been delayed an account of the inability
of the contractors to keep the water out
OF the completed Golfer dam. The water
pours into the dam so rapidly that it has
been impossible to complete the tounda-
ton. 1t is thought there is spring in
the river bed inside the dam.
Six stationary engines are in use on
the construction work and furnish power
for the pile drivers, derricks, concrete
mixers and pumps
The capstones for the piers are on the
ground, as are also the iron plates for
the protection of the faces of the piers.
Three gangs of men are at work on
each shift on the rock cut between New
port and the falls. This work is very
difficult and necessarily slow, but it will
probably be completed before the bridge
All of the material for the bridge is
reported stored at Priest River station,
and the work of erecting the structure
will proceed rapidly when the piers are
completed.
Two steam shovels are at work load
ing cars with dirt for the fill in the
trestle over the meadows One of the
shovels is working just east of the city,
while the other is optrating about half a
mile above Albeni Falls. The trestle is
being filled at both ends, work on the
fill at the east end having been started
on Sunday.
All of the workmen employed on the
works are white men, an innovation on
the Great Northern.
