BUILDING Up
NORTH MONROE

An enthusiastic and we'll attend
ed meeting of the property own
ers and residents of the North Mon
roe Hill district was held at the
Presbyterian church last Thursday
evening. e. J. Tamblin was elect
ed chairman and James Newlands
secretary of the temporary organi-
zation. f. J. Tamblin, NJ. Horn and
James Newlands were elected a
committee to prepare articles of
constitution and bylaws and re-
port next meeting.
The prospect OF a strong organi-
cation is very encouraging, and it
is expected that with a full attend
ance next meeting committees will
be named, especially in regard to
establishing fire station and i'm
provement of the water service.
This district is one of the principal
workingman's home districts in the
city and it is intended that the adj
vantages of this section shall be
properly brought before the home
builders of the city. A meeting will
be held Thursday evening, Feb.
ruary 10, at the Presbyterian
church at 1880 p. m. at the corner
of Monroe and Amber, when special
matters besides those mentioned
will come up Tor consideration.

A QUARREL
OVER FENCE

All is not peace and harmony in
one neighborhood. Proof of the
fact came to light this morning
when C. E. Westerfield appeared
at the police court and asked that
a warrant for the arrest of Philip
Burgess, an aged neighbor, who,
Westerfield alleges, is the meanest,
'cussedest man he ever saw.
According to the complainant,
Burgess, who lives at 5000 Thorpe
street, trespassed on Westerfield S
property yesterday and tore down
Westerfield's fence, which had
been put up to keep cattle off of his
place.
Mrs. Westerfield went out to
demonstrate with the intruder and
is said to have met with Oaths, all
of which led into more trouble, and
when the woman attempted to put
the fence back in place again, her
husband alleges, Burgess pushed it
over on her. Burgess denies the
allegations.

BABY BORN in A
FRISCO STREET CAR

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. "a
guessing contest for the name of
the baby girl whose advent into
the world Monday night delayed
traffic on the Hayes street trolley
line is under way here. The child
was born at Fillmore and Hayes
streets, but as both those names
are more fitting to young gentle
men than to young ladies', it is not
likely that the baby will be called
by either of them.
The little one was born on a
Hayes street car and the arrival of
the baby tied up traffic on both
Hayes and Fillmore street lines
for many minutes.
The mother, Mrs. Annie Bar
mum, 65 Clara street, was taken to
a nearby hospital, where she and
the child were given attention.
Both are doing well.

ing on the old song, that the house
wife of the laboring man is too eX-

high prices of meat are mostly due
to high living on the part of the
working man; when they them

STAFFORD LOSES IN

second brush with the authorities
IN the courts this morning, judge
n. L. KEENAN, overruline the de-
murrer to the information filed by
R. M. Barnhardt, attorney for Stat
ford.
Attorney Barnhardt contended
that the information drawn up by
w. G. Donovan was defective in
that the 1909 laws contain no saw
ing clause whereby an official can
be prosecuted for an offense com
mitted under the law of three years
ago. Judge KEENAN, held that there
was a saving clause and that the
information is good.
Stafford was indicted by the

G. B. DENNIS, CONTRACTOR,
SUES CITY TO COMPEL
PAYMENT FOR COM.
PlETED WORK.

COMPLICATIONS INCREASE IN
THE MATTER OF THE ADMIN.
ISTRATlON'S "WHITE
ELEPHANT"

Things developed thick and fast
In the Sprague avenue fill dispute
this morning.
G. 3. Dennis, the contractor, took
the matter to court in an effort to
compel the city to pay him for the
work completed.
The city, on its part, took the
"bull by the horns" and served no.
tice on Dennis of it's intention to
open one side of the fill for traffic
at once, after the completion of
some work yet undone. The
mayor, the board of public works
and Assistant Corporation Counsel
Blair went over the fill this morn
ing, and after inspecting it agreed
upon the order. A legal notice was
at once made out and served on
Dennis.
The suit of Dennis is due to the
holding up of the $4,000 estimate
allowed him few days ago by
City Engineer Ralston and the
board of public works. Council
man Leonard Funk of the First
ward, acting president of the city
council. had reason to believe that
If Dennis got this money he would
drop the fill and let the city fight
j. out in the courts or finish the fill
to suit itself.
Rather than give Dennis the best
of it by this $4,000 Funk re-
fused to sign the warrant and the
money was not paid 1t is believed
that the end of Dennis work on the
fill has been reached.
A writ of mandate was issued by
Judge j. d. Hinkle this morning to
G.. B. Dennis and the Warehouse
and Realty company ordering the
city of Spokane to either pay the
$18,S66.52 balance due for com
pleted work on the Sprague avenue
fill or appear in court on February
16 and show why the bill has not
been paid
According to the complaint under
which the writ was issued, the
Warehouse and Realty company re-
ceived $50. for the work,
leaving a balance of S1S,S6652 on
the total of $54, 442.27 due the con-
tractors for work thus far COM
