LIBRARY FOR 4RAvENwoRTH
Petition Planned Asking Aid of An
drew Carnegie.

Following the footsteps of Wenat-
chez in the matter of securing a IL
brary, Leavenworth is considering
taking the matter up with Andrea
Carnegie. At present there is no IL
brary of consequence in that city and
the need of one has been apparent.
Being division point, hundreds of
railroad men make that place their
home during the year.
The growth of the city has caused
demand for library, as there are
now several hundred school children 4.
besides many employees of the Lamb
Davis mill. The question of main
tenance is small item, as there are
many of the business men who will
donate. Efforts are also being made
to put the city in better sanitary
condition and the city officials are
framing an ordinance which requires
the property in the city to be kept
in better shape.

TIPPED OVER
HIGH GRADE
MIR. AND MRS. G. T. RICHARDSON
WENT OVER JOHNSON GRADE,
ON WENATCHEE RIVER
JURED BUT SLIGHTLY.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. T. Richardson.
the pioneers of Monitor, were in the
city this morning, and while driving
home, about noon, the team and rig
toppled over the Johnson grade, and
the team and rig rolled almost to the
bottom Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson
jumped when it was seen that the rig
was going over the grade. This
probably saved their lives. AS it
was they rolled but short distance
and though badly bruised and Jared
yet they have no serious injuries.
The rig was pretty badly demolished
and one of the horses was so badly
crippled that it had to be shot.
The accident happened while de-
scending the high grade opposite the
Dave Slime place, on this side of the
Wenatchee river. The recent thaw
has made the grade very slippery and
one of the horses slipped off and
pulled the other one with him.

FOR SELLING BOOZE
j. Nj. Roth, of Columbia Siding, Can
not Get Idea Out of His Head
That He Cannot Sell Liquor.

J. M. Roth, of Columbia Siding,
was brought to this city last night
in charge of Deputy Sheriff Fox, and
was taken this morning to Water
vile. Roth is in the tolls again,
charged with selling liquor without
license. Furthermore it is said
that Roth did not submit tamely to
his arrest but made a strenuous eff
fort to kill the deputy after being
told that he was under arrest Mr.
Fox carries a very badly discolored
eye and says that the old man made
very vicious attack.
Roth cannot get it into his head
that he has no right to sell liquor
at his place at Columbia Siding. He
thinks that the government is inter-
fering with his personal business
when restrained from selling booze.
The two sons of Roth were arrested
last fall for this same offense and
were given a heavy fine each. Mr..
Roth as been told repeatedly that he
would be pinched if he repeated the
offense, but he did not heed the
warning. 1t is likely that the court
will not overlook the offense this
time.

NEGRO HAS
CLOSE SHAVE
LAST NIGHT

Benny Miller, negro laborer en-
ployed on the Dubetz building, at the
corner of Massachusetts street and Sew
enth avenue, Gary, had narrow es-
cape from death yesterday morning,
when the sand from the east wall of
the building caved In and completely
buried him. The cave-in was due TO
the weight from material which had
been placed near the edge of the base
ment excavation. Miller. down at the
bottom of the eight-foot basement, was
at work when about ten feet of the
sand caved in. He attempted to jump,
but in doing so he fell and before he
could escape the sand had covered him,
with the exception of one hand.
Fellow laborers seeing the accident
ran to Millers assistant and with show
els and boards they cleared the sand
away from Miller's head so as to allow
him to breathe and then they extri-
Gated him from the sand. Miller was
more frightened than hurt when re
leased from his prison. The accident
might have terminated seriously If Mil
Ter had been at work alone on the job.
1t took workmen several hours to
clear away the big cave-in this morn
ing.
