C0ULON SHOW
COLLISION
STOLEN HORSE MUST
LOSE HIS MONEY.

Instead of recovering $245 and
costs from J. S. Boon and wife, A.
K. Rogers is compelled to pay the
costs of the trial, according to the
terms of a judgment rendered this
morning by Judge J. d. Hinkle.
Rogers declared that a pair of
horses sold to him by Robert A.
Carroll for $245 were taken from
Boon with the knowledge of the lat
ter, and that the parties conspired
to sell the animals, the owners to
recover them from the purchaser.
Judge Hinkle held that there was
no collision between Carroll and
the Boons and that the horses were
stolen from their barn by Carroll
and sold to Rogers.

EGGS WILL NOW
COME CHEAPER

"Three eggs, bread, butter and
coffee, IS cents. Eat eggs and help
break the meat trust"
This is the sign displayed by III.
Karlsten, proprietor of the Queen
cafe, 1897 Front avenue. Karlsten
says that it is cheaper for people
to eat eggs than meat, and points
to his announcement as proof.
The reason for this cut in the
served eggs is due to the low price
of cased eggs shipped from the
east. These eggs have been low
all winter to the restaurant men
who bought in quantities of a num-
Der of cases at a time. but not to
the consumer who bought by the
dozen. Good eastern eggs were
sold in Spokane at wholesale by
the case during the past winter.
at 25 to % cents per dozen and
resold at retail in the stores at 40
to so cents per dozen. Such ex-
Orbitant profits at retail are what
cause the complaint about the high
cost of living.

OLIVE bb|OGE
BUILT BELOW
ESTIMATE
p ~ III

Figures complied at the office OF
the city engineer on the cost Of the
Olive avenue bridge, now nearing
completion, lead to the belief that
the bridge will be completed for
less than the estimate, So, 900.
Thus far the bills that have been
paid aggregate $4,000, which
amount includes over $4,000 for
equipment that the city will have
left for use on the Monroe street
bridge. 'sssz
1t is believed that the city will
build the bridge fort$s2, 900 less
than the lowest figure Of the con.
tractors, which was $124.OOO. This
will be accomplished by figuring as
gain to the city the use of the
salvage received at the Olive bridge
from the one completed at Mission
avenue.
The engineers office finds in the
result on the Olive avenue bridge
a reason why it is advantageous
that the day labor plan should be
employed in the building of the
Monroe street bridge.

strong fight for consolidation or a
separate school district, are to have

a new district will be formed.
A lively session was held in

who are after consolidation or n
new district, and stated this morn

in the event that the two districts
will not consolidate.
The reason for the agitation for
a new district is that the "a schol

If the consolidation proposition
passes when put to vote, a new
schoolhouse will be built. while the

over the stock market today and
resulted in conditions bordering on
decentralization. All standard stocks
such as the Hartman issues, Steel,

selling from three to five points
below the closing prices on Satur-

The buyers seemed to control the
market AS far as the floor brokers
could learn, there was no real cause
for the drop, and it appears to have
resulted from some mysterious In

Rumors Of prosecutions, strikes

considered sufficient to have caus-
