SCOW TURNS TURTLE.
Dumps Load of Sand Into George
town Channel.

Scows loaded with sand are treacherous
to deal with. tugboat men say. because
they have a way of turning turtle on
slight provocation and dumping their load
in the bottom of the river.
This was what happened to one of the
scows in a tow behind the tug Minerva
Yesterday. The tug and her tow were
on their way up the Georgetown channel
10 Georgetown when one of the scows
suddenly turned upside down and depos-
tied its load of several hundred cubic
yards OF sand in the river channel.
As the sand cannot be recovered the
accident entails loss of several hundred
dollars on the dredging company. The
tugboat men have the trouble of righting
the lighter and pumping her out.
The lighter is not damaged by the acct
dent. AS soon righted and pumped out
she will be returned to service with the
sand and gravel carrying fleet.

PAY
YOUR CARFARE
THROW IN DIMES WORTH ON
EVERY SO CENT PURCHASE
FOR BENEFIT OF PUBLIC
MARKET PATRONS.

Farmers who visit the city mar
ket with their produce are
abreast of the times, it seems. To
day they agreed among them
selves to hereafter give every per-
son who buys so cents worth OF
produce another dimes worth
free, in order to pay the customers
car fare.
They do not mean to raise the
price on the so cents worth, either
as the much abused peddler is a
check on any overcharge by the
farmer. This concession by the
farmer will doubtless help along
the business.
Market Master Happe reports
that there were Is wagons on the
market today and that things sold
reasonable. The patronage was
good.

CONTESTS CITY
RIGHTS To
STREET

The right of the city to enter
upon and grade Scott street in
Harrison & Townsend's addition is
challenged by r. l.. Webster, as
agent for Sadie F. Webster, who
says the city holds no title to
the west half of Scott street be-
tween Eighth avenue and the north
line of Highland Park addition, one
block in length. Mr.. Webster says
the city must see him before pro-
ceeding with any improvement
across his ground.
Webster's petition recites some
history of early Spokane. He says
he bought the ground that he now
owns on August 20, 1883, from Mil
lard T. Harrison and l. c. Town
send, who had plated that addi-
ton to the town of Spokane Falls.
The deed given him, he argues,
covered the west half of Scott
street, but seven years later, on
June Z, 1890, new and correct
ed" plat of the addition was filed
in which all of Scott street is dedi-
Gated to public use.
He says the amended plat con-
tains no signature of the grantor,
but he presumes it was filed by
Harrison and Townsend. He says
the amended plat is wrong in that
it conveys to the public rights for
which he holds under a prior deed.
Mr. Webster Is opposed to the i'm
provement.

FACES WORLD PENN|LESS
WITH SEVEN LITTLE ONES
Multiplied Affections Bear Harshly on Frail
Wife of Accused Mail Carrier.

Penniless, frail and in i'll health,
with the responsibility of the sup
port of seven children, ranging in
age from 10 months to 10 years,
upon her shoulders, and whose hus-
band is federal prisoner charged
with appropriating money en-
trusted to his care while acting as
rural mail carrier on route No. 10,
Mrs. John Jensen of this city has
applied to the county commission
ers for assistance.
Three days ago Mrs. Jensen, with
her children, arrived from Walla
Walla, from whence she had been
sent on transportation supplied by
the authorities, who refused to
further assist her on the ground
that she had not been a resident of
the place but few weeks.
When Jensen quit his position
with Uncle Sam, shortly after the
theft occurred, he went to Free
water, Ore, where his wife and
family later joined him. Here he
was arrested about month ago
and brought back to Spokane to
await trial.
The family, left behind and desti-
ute, was abandoned to the charity
of kind neighbors. and later their
suffering and pitiable condition
were brought to the attention of
