HARTMAN AND
HILL CL|NCHED
ON THE COAST

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. IL
Financiers here say that Hartman
and Hill are preparing to lock
horns in battle for the control
of the transportation of the west
and on the Pacific coast. They de-
clare that beginning in the north
west, the war will be fought all
along the coast into San Francisco.
1t Is pointed out that the activity
of Hill in the Spokane, Portland
& Seattle railroad and various
electric feeders to his road in the
northwest is to forestall any de-
velopment by Hartman that may
take away from his roads valuable
traffic of that section Of the coun-
try.

avenue. He has since been con-
fined to the county Jail because of
his inability to give bond.
On the night of his arrest Glow
odosk says the vision of eight
years before was recalled with a
startling reality. He knew that
the dream had come true and felt
sorely distressed that he had not
regarded the vision with greater
attention and remained away from
a country that seemed destined to
bring him misfortune. He says he
realized that he was stranger in
a strange land, without money and
without friends, and knew. that
under the circumstances his inno-
cence would be hard to establish.
Glowodosk's plea of defense was
that he had purchased the stolen
articles found in his possession be-
fore coming to Spokane. The ar
ticles were identified as coming
from the I. X. l.. store.
A night session was held in the
Glowodosk case last night to hear
the argument of counsel. d. F..
Kizer for the state and G. G.. Rip
ley for the defense. The jury, aft
er celebrating all night on the fate
of the Austrian dreamer, at II
o'clock this morning returned a
verdict of guilty.

ROMANCE LIGH7ENS
A PLHELL PICTURE
Helpless, Suffering Girl 4
Faithful Attendant
IN Court.

A. flush Of pleasure, due to an in
cident that passed unnoticed by
court or jury, brought color to the
pale face OF Mildred Ferguson to-
day during an intermission in the
trial Of the case in which she is
seeking to recover $20,650 dam
ages from the Washington Water
Power Co. for injuries alleged to
have been received from a fall
from one of its cars on. Riverside
avenue a few months ago.
The emaciated form on the cot
In the courtroom was not thrilled
by words of cheer from her attor-
ney or the sympathetic friends who
are doing all in their power to
lessen the sufferings Of the afflicted
girl, whose young life seems slow
ly ebbing away under the relent-
less grip OF tuberculosis.
During a recess Of the court,
while the Judge, jurors, attorneys
and witnesses were engaged in
passing a few moments OF relaxa-
ton, young man approached the
cot of Miss Ferguson, seized her
hand and addressed her in low,
animated tones that brought an ex.
preston Of Joy and gladness to her
worn features and seemed to cause
her to forget for the time being
the heavy burden of her ills.
The sick girl returned the greet
ing with as much cordially as 1t
was given. The young man chung
to her hand and remained at her
side until the end Of the recess,
unnoticed by the throng in the
courtroom.
F. II. Roberts, the young man
whose coming brought such Joy to
Miss Ferguson, has been her
steady attendant for long time,
and rumors of their prospective
marriage were frequently heard
before the accident that has since
rendered Miss Ferguson an invalid,
unable to leave her bed of pain,
The girls injury has only served
to make Roberts the more solicit.
GUS about her welfare, causing him
to extend greater attention than
before.
Roberts Is a quiet, dignified
young fellow, of manly build, and
has q good, honest countenance.
His physical proportions present a
marked contrast to the frail form
81 Mildred Ferguson, whose thin
arm when uplifted looks more like
that of a child than young wom-
an OF 20.
The Ferguson case will probably
continue to occupy the attention of
Judge Sullivan's court two or three
days longer. The defense will try
to show that Miss Ferguson has al
ways been an invalid and that this
constitutional weakness has con-
tributed more to her present con-
dition than the injuries received in
the fall from the streetcar. The
young woman is said to be suffer
ing with tuberculosis of the hip
Joint due to the injuries received
in her fall. The case is being
vigorously fought out In court,
with John b. Gleason appearing
for the girl and II. NJ, Stephens
for the street railway company.
The hearing Of the case today
was given over to expert testimony
on the character Of the injuries re.
ceived by the plaintiff. Doctors
and nurses were called and gave
their views as to the probable ma
ture of Miss Ferguson's injuries
and the extent of the same at.
tributable to her fall. Theh inquiry
brought out much information on
the subject OF bone tuberculosis.
