HER INJURIES
MRS. J. COOPER SUFFERS
FRACTURE OF SKULL IN
RUNAWAY AMONG THE
ROCKS AT SILVER LAKE.

Mrs. j. Cooper, well known In
Spokane, is in a critical condition
at Medical lake this morning, and
Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Miller are
under physicians care as the re-
suit of a runaway accident at Sill
yer lake. Mrs. Cooper's skull is
fractured and her life is despaired
of.
The three injured persons. with
another woman and their husbands
were driving through the rocky
country about Silver Lake. looking
for a good fishing place when the
team became frightened and dash
ed down a steep incline among the
boulders. The bridge was broken
and torn off one of the horses by
the men in a frantic effort to stop
them, and the animals ran off the
road and overturned the big trans
fer wagon into the rocks and
shrubbery.
Mrs. Cooper. who is very heavy
woman, struck on her head on a
bare rock and has been uncon,
scious ever since. The other two
seriously injured women are re.
ported to have sustained internal
injuries, and not one in the party
escaped scratches and bruises.
1t is reported by long distance
from Medical Lake this morning
that the horses were frightened by
the women's headgear, some OF
them having worn wide summer
hats that were tapping about in
the wind.

BULLET COMES

MAN LOOKING FOR WORK THE
"a VICTIM OF SHOT FIRED BY
B SOMEONE EVIDENTLY MUIR
F DEROUSLY INSANE.

While standing with a compan-
ion at the side of the o. r. & N.
tracks this morning. waiting for
the Z O'Clock passenger to go by,
'B. Bathke. foreigner, was shot
through the arm and badly injured
by bullet fired by someone in
the tram. The motive for the
shooting and the identity of the
shooter is puzzling the police and
railroad officials.
Bathke can scarcely understand
the American language and has
been here three months awaiting
a chance to go to work. He was
on his way out to the McGoldrick
lumber mill when shot, but was
compelled to hasten back to town
to have the wound dressed. He
will be unable to work for long
time. The ball tore through the
efishy part of his arm, inflicting a
dangerous wound, but no traces Of
poisoning have SO far been discov-
cred.
Bathke had no enemies, he de-
clares, and believes that the shot
was fred by a lunatic. He did not
see the person who fired the shot,
but at same instant that his arm
dropped Imply at his side he heard
the report of pistol and smelled
powder smoke, He was but few
feet away from the train.
