BROWNS HERSELF IN SPO-
KANE RIVER BECAUSE
OF OVERWORk.

Miss Belle Rogers, a teacher in
the public schools at Waverly and
a graduate of the South Central
high school with the class of 'O7,
committed suicide Thursday night

distance from her school.
Miss Rogers left touching note
to her widowed mother. Insomnia
brought about by OverwOrk are

about 2 a. m. and went straight to
the waters edge, as footprints in
the snow showed at the time. The

N. P. BADLY CRIPPLED
STRIKE BREAKERS FAIL IN
EFFORT TO MOVE TRAFFIC
IN SPOKANE YARDS

"If the machinists go out in sym.
pathy with the switchmen, the road
will be tied up right" This is the
statement of Northern Pacific
man employed in one OF the depart
ments OF the road not affected by
the switchmen's strike. The ma
chinists are we'll employed over the
entire county at present. The large
manufacturing plants in the east
are short of capable workmen. The
same condition is reported at the
Hlllyard shops, where there is a
shortage of first class railway ma
chinists.
1t is known that the machinists
have voted on the sympathetic
strike, but the result of the vote has
not been officially announced. In
case the sympathetic strike is
called the railroads will be up
/ against the biggest strike OF late
years.
In the meantime local strike con-
ditions favor the switchmen. In
stead of improving in the handling
OF freight, the Northern Pacific is
in worse condition than ever
Strike breakers who have been EN-
ployed seem to become more use
less as each day passes. Thursday
night two engines were brought to-
gether in the yards. This accident
prevented much switching in the
yards yesterday. For two DAYS this
week wrecking crews have been en-
gagged in removing smashed and
broken cars from the tracks.
News of what is actually happen-
ing in the local yards is carefully
guarded by the officials of the COM
pany, and the men comprising the
various crews are careful to keep
their own control.
There is no question, however.
that the present strike is the most
expensive one in the history of the
Northern Pacific, with the A. r u.
strike excepted. Considering the
handful of men who comprise the
switchmen on strike, the strike is
the most effective ever conducted
against the big railroad corporation.

ABERDEEN, Wash, Feb. o.
Aberdeen is throbbing with inter
sAest over the most sensational muir
der case it ever had, and citizens
who long kept silent while William
Gohl was free, through fear, are
now telling tales which cast sombre
hues on his past life and connect
him with crimes ranging from ar
son to murder
Charles Jacobson. formerly a
friend OF Gohl's but now embitter'
ed against the prisoner because OF
alleged double crosses" told the
police today that Gohl started a
big fire here about is months ago
by touching off an Internal machine
in the Alaska saloon. Jacobson
said he did this in n spirit OF re-
venge against the saloon proprietor
and others in the block.
The disappearance Of Jacob
Miller, formerly deputy sheriff, and
wife, who left here to live in a
y cabin belonging to Gohl on Laid
lows island, and have not been
seen since, is thought to be anoth'
er matter upon which Gohl may
shed light.
Charles Hatberg met his death
when his back was turned to the
murderer. This fact was estaD'
lished by the autopsy. The work
of the surgeons show that the
bullets which caused his death en-
tered the brain back of the head
and ranged upward.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Feb. 5.-If
you were being hailed as the father
of twins, two sets" of triplets, and
a set" of quadruplets, and then it
was discovered that your wife had
lalmed off the infants of other
women as her own, wouldn't it
make you feel just the least bit dis
satisfied with life?
w. w. Wilson of Los Angeles Is
the nearfather of this amazing fam
lily. He appeared to be every bit
as proud of the last wonderful
brood of four as was the mother.
who has admitted that she was
possessed with an overwhelming
desire to establish an anti-race sui
eide record that would make her
talked of throughout the land and
that would stand against time.
This ambition, she said, had it's
inception when Theodore Roose-
welt, then president, sent her his
autograph picture when the birth
of the first set Of triplets was re-
ported to him.
On January % Los Angeles was
startled by the news that a Mrs.
Wilson had given birth to quad
ruplets. The nurse who attended
her vouched for her motherhood.
Wilson appeared to be the proud
est father in California.
A hitch came, however, whens a
doctor refused to sign birth certifk
Gates because he was not present
when the babies made their an.
pearance. =
Then came the crash. and the
proud parental structure the couple
appeared to have raised came
tumbling to earth.
The doctor declared his conf
dent belief that there vase sig
nificant discrepancy in the ages OF
