Protection Denied
Auction at Joseph
E. B. Wheat Forced To Close His
Sale BY Disorderly
Crowd

e. B. Wheat, who is closing out his
jewelry stock at auction, claims de
'cidedly uncourteoIs treatment a
Joseph, where he endeavored to clos
out what was left from the sale here
The sales at Jos eph were advertise,
to be held Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nesday afternoon and evenings. Nj
Wheat says the Joseph city council
was called in special session betwee
Y and o'clock Monday and an ordi
nance adopted imposing a license fee
of $40 a day for the auction. Thi
license was paid and a sale held Il
the afternoon and al attempt mad
to hold a sale in the evening.
The night sale was interrupted b.
loud cries and other noises by a
gang of boys and men both With
and without the building, so it wa
almost impossible for the auctionee
to make any headway. Someone a
the door pulled down the electric
light wire, leaving the room in dark
ness. Two oil lamps were procure
and the sale proceeded after a fash
ion in spite of the noise and interrup
tions, which were redoubled. Pom
ing on the windows and side of the
building added TO the din.
Mr.. Wheat says he looked all over
town in search of police protection
but could get none. The sale had tC
be closed, and the next day Mr.
Wheat says he was told by the actin'
mayor that the action of the mob ha,
the approval of the city council ant
was refused renewal of the license
the next day.
Mr.. Wheat claims that one Of the
most prominent business men and al
officer of the city was a moving
spirit in the attack on the sale, bu
hat a number of the best people o
the town deprecated the outragt
and so told him the following day.
Mr.. Whelt's account is verified il
most part by Mr.. Taylor of Spokane
who with his wife was visiting he
people in Joseph. He says it wa
the most outrageous treatment h
ever saw. He also says the bushes

in the attack, and several severe

Death OF Scott
King Accidental
Theory OF Suicide Is Secuted By
His Widow And
Friends.

The many old time friends of the
late Scott e. King in this county will
be interested in this account of his
death, taken from the Rainier Valley
Record of May %:
Scott E. King, a well known min
ing man and contractor and the man
who built Rainier Boulevard, rented
rowboat at Leschi park last Fri
day afternoon about o'clock, and a
couple of hours later the craft was
found floating near the old pumping
station In the boat was found two
coats and an overcoat, the property
of Mr.. King,
It was close to o'clock when Mr.,
King appeared at the Leschi boat
house He fingered there, talking
and chatting for about an hour and
was apparently in the best of health
and spirits at the time.
For year past Mr.. King had not
been in good heath. He suffered
from nervousness. He was about 80
years of age. Mrs. King is some
years his junior. There are two
children, Donald, boy of three and
half years, and Joyce, baby GIRL
age thirteen months.
The King home at Rainier Beach
is one of the handsomest there. The
J house is an expensive one and we'll
furnished. Tho library contains some
choice books, most of the newest
fiction and much that Is along the
new line of progressive thought
The grounds are beautifully laid out
and command a fine view of Lake
Washington. There is no question
that Mr., Kings home life was an
ideal one.

VICTORY.

ninth inning, aided and abetted by
a couple of untimely errors of play
and couple more of poor headwork
by Enterprise, gave the visitors the
first game of the series of three by
the close score ofS to Z.
The score was z to a in favor of
Enterprise when Cove came to bat
for the last time. Fred Mires, re
lieved of pitching duty a couple of
innings before, saw it was now or
never If he was to save the game
he had almost lost in the box. With
nice judgment he picked out a big
open space in left center and plant
ed there a smacking two-bagger.
Catcher Conley duplicated the hit in
almost the same place, scoring F..
Mires. The next in order on the bat
ting list, E. Mires, had been help
less before Bilyeu's curves the three
times he had been at bat, so he very
considerably kept in the background
and Carter, the head of the batting
order, came to the plate with "its-
my-turn-air" and pushed teaser to
second, and ran all the way to that
base when Pidcock threw wild to
third In an eldeavor to catch Con-
ley, the latter scoring on the error.
Walters went oIt on fly to r. Pid-
cock, but Haeffer was given life on
Hug short throw to Marvin and i'm
mediately stole second. Allen reach
ed first while Carter was being put
out at the plate, Hug to w. Pidcock
Smith then pushed out timely
single, scoring Haffer and Allen. Kali
ended the swat,est by grounding
out, r. Pidcock to Marvin. -Four
runs and one to the good. Enterprise
could do nothing in its half, Marvin
grounding out to first, Bilyeu strik
ing out and Pace gave the pitcher
an easy one.
The game, replete with batting
base running and errors, was inter
esting from start to finish. Hug die

his first time up, but r. Pldcocf
