SPOKANE GETS
OPENING GAME

The circuit committee Of the
Northwest league, composed Of
Shredder, Dugdale and Hall, met
yesterday in Tacoma and agreed
upon an outline Of the season
schedule. The league will include
the same teams as last year, al
though Shredder is kicking on lack
OF local support and has hung the
Tacoma franchise up for sale. The
choice Of an opening date lies be-
tween April Is and Is. to be set
tied by a meeting of directors to
be called by Pres. Lucas in the
next 10 days.
AS now planned the season will
open with Aberdeen playing in
Spokane, Butte at Seattle, and
Vancouver at Tacoma. Two trips
all round are arranged to Butte,
leaving the bulk of the games to be
played on the Washington circuit.
Tacoma will start off with six
weeks of steady playing. The
league directors will probably rati-
fly the schedule proposed without
marked alteration.

the commanding officer is presi-
dent.
In the large room where the men
sit and drink is platform for
singing and dancing, and also q
piano, where an expert pianist
plays each night till the canteen
closes sharply at the sound of the
bugle, at half past nine. A SER
geant and three men are detailed
as canteen picket to keep order
but seldom are their services need
ed, for as soon as man shows
that he has taken enough to show
itself, one of his "bunkies" will
soon hustle him off to his quarters
To encourage the men to use the
canteen instead of outside places,
the price of beer is much cheaper,
and everything sold in the dry can
teen in the shape of groceries. ETC.,
is also much cheaper than outside.

Owing to the delay in getting
work Of the new Olive st. bridge
under way the county commissions

reiterated their offer to pay a sum
not to accede $4,000 as the coun-
tvs share in the cost On account
of the near completion of the o.
r. & N. viaduct farmers will again
begin using the Trent road, and on
this account haste with the bridge

bridge.

Special Correspondence to The Press
LONDON, Feb. 26.-The British

LAMPHERE SEEMS NERVOUS
SHERIFF HAZARDS A GUESS THAT
MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING GUM
NESS FAMILY WILL MAKE A
CONFESSION.

Laporte, Ind, Nov. 16.-Mrs. Fran
ces J. Flynn testified in the Lamphere
trial before a crowded court this morn
ing that she had visited Mrs. Guinness
shortly before the fire and saw an
elaborate going away outfit Mrs. Gun
ness was making for her stepraughter,
Jennie Olson, whose body was identi-
fled as one of the victims buried in the
yard. The outfit consisted of fine I'M
derwear, shirt waists, and an expens-
i've coat, etc.
Mrs. Flynn lives near the Guinness
farm and saw a fire at o'clock and
visited the ruins at six o'clock. Mrs.
Ray Turner, who translated the Nor
wegian letters from Helgelein, identi-
fed the eighty letters of love. The
trial will probably continue all week.
Lamphere was SO nervous in Jail,
Sunday, that the sheriff pronounced
him near collapse. He received sew
eral visitors and read the bible dill
gently. Heretofore he has played
cards and seemed Indifferent about his
case. The sheriff hazarded a guess
that Lamphere will confess.

BOTH ARE CONFIDENT
Terrible Turk and Olson Think
They Will Win Wednes-
day Night.
MATCH DRAWS ATTENTION.

At the Simmons Brothers cigar
store the sale of seats opened this
morning for the wrestling match
which will be pulled off Wednesday
night at the coliseum between Char
ley Olson and Bob Manogoff, the
Turk. In sporting circles this big
match is the sole topic of conversa-
ton. Many out of town people will
attend the match. some coming from
Muncie and Anderson. Several of Oh
sons Indianapolis friends will also be
ON hand.
Olson is the favorite among the fans
because Of the recent defeat he admin
istered the Turk, but everyone looks
for a much harder fought contest, be-
cause the Turk will enter the ring in
much better condition than he was in
when he met Olson before At that
time Big Bob was suffering from a
heavy cold.
Olson is always in "the pink and
he feels as confident of defeating
Manogoff as at the previous meeting.
At that time Manogoff downed him
once. Olson says that this will not
happen again and that he intends to
put the Turk on his back twice in
rapid succession. This statement, the
Turk says, makes him smile.

CIVIC PRIDE REkINDLED.
DETERMINATION AROUSED TO
SUPPORT PROSECUTOR IN HIS
BATTLE AGAINST ALL CHARGED
WITH FRAUDS.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 16.-The
condition of Francis J. Heney is still
most satisfactory and the attending
surgeons report that he is making ex-
cellent progress on the road to recov-
cry. He passed a comfortable night,
sleeping most of the time, and rested
easily today.
Although the bullet has been locat-
ed, embedded in the left of the jaw
about one inch in front of the ear, the
surgeons have decided not to extract
it until Mr.. Heney gains more
strength. The swelling in the throat
is less than at any time since the pa
tient was taken to the hospital, and he
is breathing normally.
Sorry Haas Shot Himself.
When told of the massmeeting held
Saturday night Mr.. Heney showed
great interest, and on being informed
that his assailant had taken his own
life at the county Jail, he said:
ut is too bad he did it before giving
his reason for shooting me-"
The suicide of Morris Haas, who
tried to assassinate the prosecutor
was the subject of much discussion to-
day and the police authorities were en-
gagged in trying to ascertain how he
was able to have concealed the pistol
with which he took his life after he
had been thoroughly searched two or
three times.
The attempt to kill Mr.. Heney has
had the effect of reminding civic pride
and overcoming Indifference and criti-
cism of the pros. ltion of the bribery
graft cases. and has evoked a deter
mination to support the district attor-
ney in the prosecution to conclusion
of all charged with debauching the
public service.

IS NOT ARRA|GNtD.
For Second Time Continuance
Of Keller Hearing Is
Granted.
NEW ATTORNEY IN FIGHT.

Another continuance has been
granted in the case of the State VS..
Keller, charged with murder. The
Jury had been summoned and appear
ed in court witnesses were on hand
and the court attaches were prepared
for the trial of the case, which had
been set for today. Announcement
was made, however, that Keller has
retained additional counsel and a con-
tinuance had been granted pending a
conference of counsel and client KEEL
ler's new rescuer from the penitentiary
for life is Henry Robinson, an attorney
at Louisville, Ky. It is not known
when Mr.. Robinson will be here to talk
with Keller, but 1t is probable within
few days.
Prospects are that after he has heard
the story of the case, Robinson will la
Dor to induce Keller TO enter a plea of
guilty. The man has confessed to fir
ing the shots, which caused the death
of William Thornton and there are
said to be no mitigating circumstances.
Keller maintains he fired in self de-
tense.
The county must pay another time
for the jury that was called, but not
used.

Then Take a Long Think and Mind

The other day a man travelling on a
shore line train noticed. protruding
from an overhead rack, a dress suit
case which he recognized as belonging
to friend. He knew that his friend
always got off at the station which
they had just passed. and as he was
not in the seat the conclusion was in
evitable that he had jumped off the
train and forgotten it.
The man called the conductor and
explained the case to him. After some
discussion and mild protest on the
part of the conductor that it wasn't a
part of his duty, the suit case was put
off at the next station, with instruc-
tions to send it back on the first train
the other way.
The man. feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act. settled down
for the rest of his Journey
But not for long. The face Of his
friend. who had been in the smoker
and who happened on that particular
afternoon to be going on to New Lon
don to attend a dinner party-loomed
before him.
The moral of this is. of course, quite
evident
