inaccurate shooting. Nevertheless, sew

made, Capt. Kingsley showing up well
in this respect.

ute OF play on a Ions shot from the
center of the floor and his running
mate. Kingsley, followed this up a min
ute later with another pretty shot. For
the next five minutes neither quint was
able to find the basket, until Hogan
drew first blood for the visitors after a
nice piece of teamwork Dilkes made an
easy 2-pointer, and Kingsley and Cogan

GOVERNOR
MAY FORCE
STRIKE END

Governor Hay may take a hand
men and the railroads. If he does
II will be because jobbers of Spo-
kane put the matter squarely up
to his exceIIency on his own in
vitation.
Recently the governor stated
that he would not interfere in the
strike because the railroads said
that they were giving service, and
because he had received no COM
plant from shippers regarding de-
layed freight as result of the
strike
1t comes to light now that i'm
mediately on learning the COVER
nor's statement the local jobbers
collected evidence and forwarded
1t to Governor Hay, showing that
on account of the strike the job
bers of Spokane had lost $4,000
because of poor terminal facilities,
and because they had been forced
to expend big sums unnecessarily
in drayage, as the railroads could
not speedily handle the freight cars
and as these cars were left far
from the usual freight centers of
the city.
This is the showing the COVER
nor said he had not received, and
the reason he gave for taking no
action in the conflict between the
switchmen and the railroad
companies.
The governor has power to act,
as has been recently shown in the
case of the governor of South Da-
kota, who forced a settlement of
strike problem between railroad
arrangements and the workers,
and the showing made by the Spo-
kane jobbers may result in Gov
ernor Hays taking the same ac-
ton as proved successful in the
middle west

AS the morning wore away the
chief became so "tickeled" over
the prospect of the 20 cigars that
dollar was going to buy that he
called in Martin j. Burns, head of
the detective department. But this
was a fatal step for the chief for
Captain Burns lost no time in re-
calling an incident in which he
had loaned the dollar in question
to a woman who called at the sta
ton two years ago. Burns told
how the woman had come into the
station while her husband stood
outside. She told him that they

her dollar and by so doing be-
came the laughing stock of the de-
partment for the next six weeks.
Jim Fitzharris remembered the
occasion and Burns called him in
to testify before the chief. Fitz
made a good witness for Burns
and Bill" Smith, the police court
bailiff, also remembered, so the
chief coughed up the dollar and
Burns put it in his pocket.
But the best part of it all is that
Burns borrowed the money to loan
to the woman and no one can re-
call who loaned it to Burns, so the
treats are on the captain today.

Then followed the impaneling Of

and another verdict, all of which
places Gordon beyond the pale of

THE INDICTMENTS.
One indictment charges Gordon
with appropriating $2S,507.43 to his

that amount on a bank in which he
