be no hard feelings or personal

WILL IMPORT
No LABOR
Bridge Contractor
Is Spokane
Booster

No imported labor will be used
in building the North Howard
street concrete bridge. Contractor
Worle this morning stated that the
inference that he would ship in la
Dor is uncalled for.
81 am making Spokane my home
and intend to boost for the city.
There is just as good labor and
plenty of | tas can be got any
where. l will say this, however,
that lot of workmen who think
that because they live here they
must be supplied with jobs are not
going to get work of me. There
was too much of that sort of labor
on Washington street. Every man
will be expected to do days work,
and If he does not, then shall hire
others. But all will be from Spo-
kane"
Mr.. Worle declares that the job
is almost as difficult as the Wash
ington street bridge. The Wash
ington street bridge was built UNI
der City Engineer Ralston at a
cost of about $4,000. Worle took
the Howard street contract for
$4,000 and will make a good mar
gin of profit, he says.
Machinery for razing the old
structure is being unloaded at the
bridge now. The work Of the new
bridge will be under way in a few
weeks and will probably be COM
pleted by spring. Foreman Stew
art, who bossed the Nine Mile dam
work for the Graves interests, will
be in charge of the men on Worries
contract.

to Husband in Seattle.

through the wooded mountains at
night wild animals were heard on
all sides of her. But she was never
molested. /.
Her husband is a workingman in
Seattle and poor. He wrote to her
to come to him. She had only
money enough to pay railroad fare
to Aberdeen, S. ID. At the end of
her railroad journey she started
out afoot
Although it was II o'clock last
night when she applied to the po-
lice for a place to sleep she was
up again at 6 o'clock this morning
and left the station and has prob

The police made no effort to de-
tain her until money could be
raised to send her on, and she
seemed to expect no such atten-

Another wedding of May and De-
cember and the consequential feat
ures were brought to light by the
police last night when Mrs. Justine
O'Bryant, age Is, wife of Willis
O'Bryant, age so, was arrested at
the Raymond hotel in company
with Charlie Burden, age q.
The pair spent the night in Jail,
and Mrs. Bryants daughter, age
10 months, slept with her. With
the chilly iron bars all around her
end her baby, Mrs. O'Bryant wept
the whole night through. The par
ticulars as she told them are pa
thetic in the extreme and show
the inhumanity of the man found
with her.
Mrs. O'Bryant was the daughter
of John Umsheini a tailor in
LOOMS, Wash. Her stepmother and
she did not get along well, and at
the age of Is she went to work in
the Wentworth hotel. A year later
she met jeff Way, a musician, and
loved him. They were married.
Way died a month before the
birth of their baby girl, Verna, in
the arms of Willis O'Bryant, his
friend. The unceasing devotion of
O'Bryant to her husband did not go
unnoticed by the young wife. One
month after the birth of the baby,
O'Bryant proposed marriage to her
and she accepted. But she did not
love him.
Il thought l was doing wrong to
marry such an old man, but was
without money and couldn't work
He is good man, but we were
never meant for each other. He is
a miner and left me alone in
Loomis most Of the time. Finally
went to work again. But l wanted
to come to Spokane.
Charlie Burden was my hus
bands friend, and when | talked
about coming to Spokane, he of.
fered to see me through all right.
l had no money, but he assured
me there was plenty of work in
Spokane. My husband had no
money to send me and he was will
ing for me to come.
$50 Burden and l came together
and got here late last night, and
went to the Raymond hotel"
However, Burden is not accused
by O'Bryant with stealing his wife's
affections. An ex-convict, Marion
Paxton, who was recently released
from Walla Walla, is accused, and

ANOTHER SALOON BRAWL OC-
OURS ON FRONT AVENUE, IN
WHICH DEADLY WEAPONS
FLASH AND BLOOD FLOWS.

A cutting ARRAY in the Del Norte
saloon, 316 Front avenue, about
midnight resulted in the serious in
jury of Louie De Julian by an I'M
known man, who welded a razor
and slit his victims scalp wide
open across the top of his head.
De Julian bled profusely and was
weak from loss of blood when
taken to the emergency hospital
and sewed up by Emergency Physi-

During the fight Frank Califoire,
lounger, pulled a revolver, but
before he had time to get into the

weapon away. Califoire made his
escape temporarily, but was fol-
lowed and pointed out to Patrolman
H. G. Rolf and Jailed. The police
