DEFY Y. v. P.
HOLD UP A SACRELlGlOUS
MOTORMAN UNTIL LINE
CROSSES TRACK AND THEN
SINGS GONG OF VICTORY.

Some great excitement ensued
about $3.50 O'Clock last night on the
corner Of Howard and Main when
the leader Of the Salvation Army
defled a w. w. P. motorman to
break up the line of march. For
more than an hour the Salvation
lists had been exhorting sinners IN
front Of the Cleveland house. The
drizzling rain had soaked them
through and through and possibly
even a Salvation Army temper is
subject to ruffling at times.
The crowd, which was about a
block long, was marching across
the tracks when a Hillyari car
bore down upon it. The motorman
changed his bell, shouted and toot-
ed the whistle. The crowd began
to make a passage when the lead
err looked back.
Halt! Haiti" he commanded
in the stentorian tones of gen.
eral in the army.
The line halted, some of 1t in
front of the streetcar.
cit ou'n tn way er I'll run over
some of you'll" shouted the motor
man in desperation. Then he ap-
piled the brakes and stopped his
car. BY this time the leader had
reached the car He took his stand
directly in front of the fender.
Nov, sir!" he shouted to the
motorman, dare to run us down
at your PERIL"
Forward, march," then he
commanded.
His flock marched by all right.
And the car wasn't allowed to pass
until every last one was across
the danger line.
Then the leader sounded the key
note of a hallelujah song.

running conventions like machin-

convention to work on, it was not

The long fight came over a

WATER
POLLUTION
SPOKANE BOARD OF HEALTH
TO ASK REPUBLICAN CON-
vENTiON FOR ENDORSE
MENT OF SEWAGE LAWS.

The influence of the republican
state convention which meets here
Thursday, will be sought by the
Spokane board OF health In a move
ment to prevent cities in this state
from dumping sewage into any
rivers. Resolutions to this effect
will be introduced with the object
of later having them Incorporated
into the statutes. If this succeeds
septic tanks of some of the other
processes will have to be devised to
take care of Spokane sewage.
The state board of health con-
templates action to prevent Occur
d'Alene from continuing to dump
sewage into the Spokane river on
the ground that it pollutes the
water supply Of Spokane. The ac-
tion will be a federal case based
on previous decisions that cities
have no right to pollute natural
water supplies.
The Spokane board of health has
no part in this action, as it has
been depending upon early compile
ton of the underground water sys-
tenn to remedy the danger without
the cost Of going to law.
Health Officer Grieve has been
informed by the city engineer that
the underground plant has been
completed with the exception of
connecting up water power to drive
the pumps. At the present stage
of water in the river it is tmpossi-
BILE to cut into the flume. A two
feet fall will be necessary to per-
NIT this part of the work being
done and then the plant will be
put into operation. 1t was expect
ed to have the underground supply
turned into the mains by June l,
but the date is indefinite on &C
count of the fume. Meanwhile the
river is absorbing the Occur
d'Alene sewage and Spokane Is alb
sorbing what it needs Of the river.
Physicians advise that all drinking
water be boiled until the new sup
ply is available.

The brother did not want to do it

threw up her hands and fell to the
floor. Then Montgomery ran to his
own room, removed the empty
shell from his revolver and reload
ed the empty chamber with new
cartridge.
What led to the officers belief in
the guilt Of the brothers was the
fact that H. M. Montgomery was
living with Mrs. North. He is also
