swjpdIed SaIoonkeepers

William Andrew, claiming Butte,
Mont, as bis residence, victimized sew
eral local saloonkeepers out Of various
| sums last week by means of worthless
checks. Andrew was a man about SO
years of age and had very engaging
manners. He claimed to be connected
with the Amalgamated Copper Co., of
Butte, and had credentials to that effect
He spent considerable money on his
arrival here, and then began eashing
worthless paper on the strength Of his
connection with the big copper company
and his statement that he had funds in
various banks in this section. He gave
checks on the Security State Bank of
Newport. the Traders State Bank Of
Standpoint and other institutions where
he had nothing on deposit.
Azel McCurdy, James Dunlap and A.
E. Ries, on the New Town side, cashed
several checks for the swindler, and it is
understood that several worthless checks
were also given on the Idaho side of the
town. The total amount realized by
Andrew is considerably in excess of 500.
The same man worked the same
scheme on several Standpoint saloon men
and must have cleaned up nice bunch
of money in the short time that he spent
in both towns.
Andrew is described as a man of at
least 90 years, smooth shaven. gray
hair and false teeth James Dunlap
went to Spokane on Monday in an en-.
deayor to capture the man, but failed to
get any trace of him.

Finnes0n's Condition Critical

Matt Finneson, of Priest River, who
was badly beaten in saloon row in Old
Town one day last week, is seriously i'll
at the Dunlap house on the Washington
side of the line. Blood poisoning has
set in, and the physician in charge fears
that the man will not recover. He will
be committed to the Bonner county
hospital by Justice Warmer and will
be taken there on Friday.
Finneson is woodsman and has re-
sided in Bonner county for several
years. He is an expert river man and
has a good reputation among his friends.
He came to Newport about 10 DAYS ago
for visit, and became entangled in a
row with bartender, and claims that
be was beaten over the head with the

Killed a Bear Near City

John Savage killed large black bear
about two miles south of Newport on
the old Indian road last Thursday night.
The bear had been noticed in that
neighborhood several times recently and
had been soaring the horses and other
live stock
Savage is considerable of bear hun
ter and decided to give the bear some
OF his game. Along about eight o'clock
IN the evening he came on the animal
and dispatched him with two shots. He
was brought to Newport and dressed by
Louis kirchan and bear steaks were on
sale at the kirchan market the rest Of
the week. The beast weighed over $50
pounds before being dressed and was
six feet in length over all 1t was in
tine condition and was one of the finest
specimens brought into this market for
long time.
A big black bear appeared at one OF
the construction camps near Blueslide
one day this week. About so Italian
workmen were engaged on the grade at
that point and when bruin made his
appearance the dagos made their disa-
pearance. 1t is stated that couple OF
the men jumped into the river in their
haste to escape from the bear. The
latter was about as badly scared as the
men and, when he saw the grand rush
being made, he turned tail and disa-
peared in the woods 1t was some time
before the men could be induced to re-
turn to work.
}. +. Williams has been hunting for
bear in the Spirit Valley district for over
week. He found several evidences OF
the animals being in that neighborhood
but could not meet one of them. On
Sunday last he went to the district ia
attend religious services, and while 90
ing along the road large bear crossing
the road in front of the party. Of course
Mr.. Williams was not prepared to shoot
the animal, as he was on his way to
church and was unarmed. Fates are
frequently against good hunter az well
as others.

teasing the patients. They congregate
on certain halls and play cards, MAX
ing the patients wait on them by
bringing them spittoons and then emp
tying them. The patients do the hard,
unclean work, such as scrubbing and
rubbing the floors, securing, ETC., and
they get no pay for it. Not even do
they get their tobacco, which the
State of Georgia furnishes them. It
is chewed up or sold by the attend
ants. There are patients here who are
not allowed tobacco under the pre-
tense that they will spit on the floor,
especially do | refer to S hall, whose
head attendant is Morgan Thomson,
and assistant Cleve Haddaway. Cleve
Haddaway is big blithering idiot,
something on the order of negro
laborer, and away below the average
one at that. AS | have seen many a
negro wage-earner that will talk with
more sense than this fellow. The head
attendant, Morgan Thomson, is Of the
same calibre.
The Gilmans are the predominating
people, there being nearly a dozen
"chokers' of that name there Tom
Gilman is yard man at Convalescent
and he hurt my feelings on several
occasions when | was at Convalescent,
but paid no attention to him Flem-
ing Gilman is noted choker I must
also mention Thomas Hollis, head at
tendant Of Twenty Ward of Gonzales
cent, who beats and mistreats his
patients. [ have heard him beating
patients locked up at the wire guard
room at different times, especially at
night, until [ felt like screaming for
mercy for them. The men were crazy
and were only talking little in their
delirious fashion. and Thomas Hollis
would go in with a broom-stick and
beat them numerically. I have seen
the mems legs bear black and blue
marks from their hips on down to
the bottom of their feet. This is a
man who has been on Twenty for a
long time. This Hollis is big, husky
brute, and I have seen him tri p pa
tients up and throw them SO hard
to the floor until I have often won
dered why no bones were broken.
They were men who were too crazy to
report the matter to the doctor, ana
if they had done so he would have
paid no attention to it whatever One,
Lingo, patient Of 7 hall, was tripped
up by a former attendant named Den
MS, formerly Of R hall, and his hips
broken. This man lay in agony for
months and months, and now he has
to walk on crutehes. This was done
in fun, so it was said. Mr. Lawson,
from Augusta, now on O hall, Twin

former attendant named Cook. One

so, the said Cook hit him on a silver

and the marks on the patients will
remain with them for life. One man
named Glenn, who was on @ ward
when [ left the Sanitarium, had his
legs broken over at the Green Building
and is now being rolled about in an
invalid's chair. Ira Hemphill, now
supervisor, was head attendant. This
Tom Hollis has a brother named
Henry, who is very cruel fellow, and
it has been said of him that he has
killed several Of the patients. While
[ cannot confirm this from having seen
it, | do remember seeing him choke
several patients several times very
badly while on T hall. He choked
one man named Jenkins because he
happened to run against the feet Of
another patient while using the mops
cleaning the floor. This patient Jen-
kins was very sick, weak man and
only weighed lis or 100 pounds,
while Henry Hollis weighs about $50
pounds. Tom Hollis beat up a patient
with broom-stick in the wire guard
room on the night Of March 9Th. The
poor fellow begged and begged for
mercy but the brute beat away as if
he was trying to kill a mad dog. The
taxpayers of Georgia owe it to the
poor, unfortunate insane people to
discharge this man Hollis. He has all
assistant named Berry who helps him
to beat up patients. Both of these
men are brutal to the extreme. Frank
Gilman is another very brutal fellow,
as [ hear from the patients who have
been on the ward with him.
I will try here and give you my
experience with these "chokers" in
this living hell. I was carried to the
reception hall, C, December 81, 1907.
My troubles commenced there with
british fellow named Ezell, former as
sistant attendant, who harassed me
continually, keeping me locked up on
the most trivial excuse. One thing
is that | asked the night Waterman

censure Ezell, and when they brought
me over to W Ward, I was painted in
black colors to William May, the head
attendant Of that ward. I was taken
sick one night and walked the floor
and almost screamed [ was suffering
SO. Will May came into the room
with a crowd Of attendants that night
and tied my hands and feet together
and nearly drowned me in the bath
tub, holding my head under the water
until [ had swallowed several pints
of water (if it was possible for my
stomach to hold that much), and I
was badly strangled. I was then
taken down to the wire guard room
until morning, when they came into
the room and beat me some more and
said that if I told the doctor they
would kill me. The assistant doctor,
r. C.. SWint, did not even censure
