TRAIL TODAY

Joe Barbato, bartender in Frank
Bruno's hangout, who murderously
beat Peter Switzer over the head
with an icepick a few days ago, is
undergoing a preliminary hearing
before Justice Hinkle this after
noon. Lester U. Treat, driver for
the Union Fuel & Ice Co, who was
also beaten by Barbarto, testified
that he and some friends had eat
en- at the lunch counter and he paid
once and the fight started on his
refusal to pay twice. Several 9TH
err Italians besides Barbato were
fighting the Treat crowd. Barbato
welded the icepick, which is an
implement four feet long with
sharp prongs on the end, another
welded a two by two piece of tim
Der and others used bottles and
billies. Treat and his friends
fought desperately as they backed
toward the door. All of them were
beaten more or less. Switzer. how

LONDON, Sept. 12.-E. H. Gary,
chairman of the board of directors
of the United States steel corpora
ton, at dinner given in his honor
at the Reform club, took occasion
to laud President Roosevelt and his
policies.
"Mr. Roosevelt" said Mr.. Gary,
lis often misunderstood, if not in
deed misrepresented. He Is not
an enemy of capital or business
prosperity. He believes that right
conduct is of prime Importance,
but he asso believes in progress
and growth. He does not attack
individuals as such be they rich
or poor, but directs his opposition
against that which he believes to
be wrong, regardless of who is the
transgressor."
Further. Mr.. Gary denied that
there had been any combination to
maintain prices, restrict output or
divide territory, in the steel indus
try in the United States. The va
rious companies did, however, he
stated, keep one another fully in
formed as to trade condition, etc,
each recognizing the rights and in
terests of the others.

dealers. There is a fair supply of
black pine, but fir and tamarack
is unusually scarce. In addition to
the shortage, it is given out that
the present price wood is selling
at is not sufficient and under nor
NAL conditions a rise in prices
would be unavoidable.
The coal situation also looks
bad for this winter, the conditions
being accountable to the closing of
the Wyoming mines upon which
this locality depends for about
100000 tons each year. There is
also a possibility of the supply
from central Washington being
crippled. Impending differences
between the operators and miners
at the expiration of their contracts
may result in a general closing
down for an indefinite period dur
ing which no coal will be obtain
able from that source.

ly item upon the paper, that being
the amount it cost to file the dec
laration.
Mr.. Greene has secured the nom.
ination without the use of a single

Being the only candidate for that
Office on the republican ticket there
was no opposition to overcome and
so Mr.. Greene is ahead perhaps
800 or more.

explanation to the effect that he

at No. 3. Both have been in the
service in excess of II years, and
with the exception of an occasional
encounter with John Barleycorn,
have been good men. Lr~
The hearing was attended by the
mayor, corporation counsel, three
members of the board of works sit
ting as a fire commission, and Fire
Chief Myers. 1t developed during
the hearing of Boyle's case that the
latter had been warned to cease
knocking the chief" and that he
entertained the impression that the
chief had been trying to get him.
for four years This Chief Myers
fatty denied, and said the only
complaint he made to Boyle of his
conduct was to urge him to leave
liquor alone. The chief said every
man at the head of a department
is knocked" by some one whose
toes have been tread upon, and
that fire chiefs as a rule pass such
matters by unnoticed.
Chief Myers, Captain MacLean
and three of the boys at No. 8 sta
ton held that Boyle was under the
influence of intoxicating liquor
when he returned for duty at the
station in the evening.

ROLLS OVER ROCKS
BUT ESCAPES ALIVE

If a sober man had taken the
plunge down hill near the w. w.
p. office building this afternoon
that Bryan Hart, a railroad con-
tractor, did, it would have killed
him. Hart rolled the entire dis
lance over jagged rocks and pro-
jecting stumps almost to the water
edge without injury.
He was laboriously climbing
back and rolling part way down
again when Patrolman Long was
sent from police headquarters to
his rescue.
Other men would have assisted
him but the descent was too peril
GUS for a sober person. Hart es-
capped with only few cuts.

taking "a few beers" while off duty
last Thursday, but insisted that he
was duly sober when he showed up
at the regular hour, In the even

third woman, also by Mr.. Wagon
err One of the fire boys at No. 3
said Boyle was sober at 9 p, m.
Boyle's record on the question of
his use of intoxicating liquors is
against him, and while the board
took his case under advisement, his
present offense Is likely to cost him
his position with the department.,
Crowley entered a general plea
of guilty to the presentation of his
case as made by Captain Yingst OF
No. 4. The captain said that while
Crowley was under the influence of
liquor, he was not just exactly
drunk, but that two hours later
after a short nap, his condition of
intoxication had increased to the
extent that it came under the class
ification of "p1ain jag" Three
or four of the men from No. sta

much expert testimony as to the
difference between being under

was also taken under advisement.

at present.
