A Touch Of Family Life.

When the country youth proposed
to the city girl, he received the con-
ventional assurance that she would be
his sister. It happened that this youth
had sisters at home and knew exactly
his privileges. So he kissed her. At
this juncture she availed herself OF
the sisterly right to call out to father
that brother was teasing her. Father
responded In good, muscular earnest.
Then the new brother-and-sister rela-
ton was dissolved by mutual consent

:STUNG AGAIN!

"Stung again." This Is just
about what half dozen hotelkeep-
ters about the city are muttering
to themselves today after their
experience with one Harry Gordon,
or a flashily dressed young fellow
laying claim to that cognomen.
Harry came here only a few days
ago, but his short sojourn in Spo-
kane has been of sufficient dura-
tion to permit him to sting cafes
and hotels for about 5000 on bad
checks.
The Victoria hotel IS perhaps the
heaviest loser among the victims,
Gordon having cashed about 500
worth of checks there. He posed
as a salesman for a furniture man
ufacturing concern, and was ar
rested by Superintendent w. f..
Stauffer of the Merchants Police
and Sergeant Bunker Of the police
force on a charge of obtaining
money by false pretenses.

Is DEAD In RIVER

Isaac Reah, wife of the president
of the Tennessee River Packet
company, owners of the vessel, had
been recovered. and it is believed
they died in their staterooms.
Others jumped overheard and most
of these were rescued
PANIC IN DARKNESS.
In the darkness the accident Gre
ated a panic and the officers and
crew of the packet were unable to
control the passengers. Efforts to
lower boats to save those strug-
Cling in the water proved futile.
The steamer Led rapidly and
the rescuers had little time to save
passengers. The current was swift
and those who could not swim and
who cast themselves into the water
were carried down stream.
Daring attempts at rescue were
attempted by members of the crew
and some of the passengers.
BARNHARDT, HERO.
VIM. r. Barnhardt of st. Louis
proved one of the heroes of the
night. He was accompanied on the
trip by his mother, his two little
sisters and their nurse. When the
crash came he jumped into the
water and swan ashore with his
mother, returned and saved his two
sisters, then made third trip and
saved the nurse. He repeatedly re-
entered the water in attempts to
save others who were struggling in
the current, but his efforts were
fruitless and at last, exhausted
from his efforts and from the chill
of the water, he was forced to give
up his attempt.
Mrs. Archie Patterson thought
only of her little son when the &C
cident occurred. Snatching him
from his bed she ran on deck and
with her little son clasped in her
arms, jumped overheard and strug
gled towards shore. She was
borne down by the current and
sank, her baby still clasped to her
breast.
