WILL THE OLD ''CANC"
BEAT J. S. PHILLIPS?

Allan r. Scott. for two terms
county engineer, has announced his
candidacy for county commissioner,
in opposition to Commissioner j. s.
Phillips.
Scott has made a good record in
the county engineers office, but
under the law is not eligible to re-
election. He contemplated making
the race for the commissionership
early in the spring, but later con-
cluded not to run. A week or 10
days ago the bee again began buzz
ing and in response therto, and the
demands of his friends, Mr.. Scott
announced his candidacy.
Allan Scott has lived in Spokane
county since 1888. He was first
elected county engineer in 1906 and
again in 1908.

How large a hand, If any, the old
county ring may have had in bring
ing out Mr.. Scott against Joe Phil
lips is not known. 1t is known,
however, that the old gang have
been casting around for weeks for
someone to run against Phillips. II
the gang succeeds in beating Phil
lips and electing another man in
the other district in sympathy with
their ideals, victory Will have
been scored by them, whether they
get back into the saddle or not. The
ring knows that 1t is useless to run
a weak man against Phillips, hence
the candidacy of Allan Scott affords
them much joy. Phillips has been
endorsed by the unanimous vote of
the township organization.

WOMAN.
Three negresses entered the
home of white women, dragged
them to the streets and beat and
tore their clothing from them be-
fore a mob of bowling blacks. A
fierce riot followed, when police
and white men rescued the women.
Hundreds of drunken negroes
proceeded through the streets ma
king night hideous with their cries.
Police, who had been reinforced
by reserves, attempted to quiet
them, and the result invariably was
conflict in which one or more
persons were seriously injured.
Two white men, stabbed by ne
groes, are dying in hospital. At
least 200 blacks are under arrest
and more than 80 white men are in
Jail. The hospitals are filled with
wounded negroes and several
whites.
The negro quarters are being pa
trolled by large detachments of
police, but daylight brought little
cessation of the celebration of the
victory of a black man over a
