INFATUATED WITH
STEP DAUGHTER

A mad infatuation for his 21-year-
old adopted daughter has caused J.
n. Elliott, a pioneer veterinary sur
geon, age 68 years, to be jailed and
held without bond for disorderly
conduct.
IN spite Of the pIeadings of his
sged wife, living with him In their
little home at E1722 Riverside ave-
nue., Elliott lie alleged by the police
to have attempted to force his at
tentions upon his foster child, with
the aid of a revolver.

He was arrested as result, but
when he was taken to the police
station the weapon he is declared
to have used as threat could not
be found, and, because of his many
years residence here, he was re-
leased on his own recognizance.
1t was but short time later that
another call was turned in to the
police from 01702 Monroe street.
Elliott had gone there again, walk
ed boldly and unceremoniously into
the kitchen and, 1t is declared, with

that an audience with his adopted
child be allowed him. Officer Gil
der soon had him in custody and
hurried him back to the city Jail,
where he was locked up-the off
Gals even fearing to release him at
that time on bond.
1t is a case among the strangest
In the annals of the local police
courts. Elliott is believed to be
going insane in his love for his
foster child. His gray haired wife,
who has staid faithfully with him
through the trials of many years, is
now broken hearted by her aged
mates actions.
Rose was adopted into the house
hold years ago when she was but a
mere child. She was cherished as
their own daughter both by Elliott
and his wife in their declining
years, but it was long ago that
Elliott began to show symptoms of
an affection for the foster child
that was more than fatherly.
The police are mystified though
as to what became of the .veteri-
narian's gun. Sergeant Miller and
Officer Millane are claimed to have
seen him buying the weapon at the
Spokane Hardware Co.'S store, but
it could not be found on him after
his arrest despite search by experts.

ROCK PILE WILL
IMPROVE ROADS

One great and lasting benefit to
be derived from the county and city
rock pile will be an improvement in
the county roads. The farmers will
be allowed to haul the rock away
for their roads, which means that
within a few years this county will
have hundreds of miles of macadam
road.
In all probability one OF the two
unused rock crushers owned by the
county will be put in much greater
quantities. An expert engineer will
be required for rock on the crusher,
and the commissioners have not yet
decided to expend the money neces-
sary to secure the services of such

Along about that time DR.. Alex

street takers to advertise their
wares. 1t was wonderful, but nc
one could see what good 1t would
do.
Vail became Interested, having
been promoted to the mail service
department In Washington, where
he met DIR. Bell.
Folks thought that. II you wanted
a telephone, you'd have to string a
wire from your house to your best
friends; another wire to the butch
er's; another to the grocer's.
They joked about 1t. 1.-THE air
will be full of wires," they said.
"Why don't you have central
exchange?" asked Vail. Don't sell
the telephones. Let the company
keep them and lease them out. You
can't make much money selling
the machines, but you can make
money by selling what the ma
chimes can do for the public"
