a success with the western play
loving people of Spokane.
There is romance, tragedy and
intrigue, so characteristic of the
country of which it is written, in
this play, that one seems almost to
be living right along with the prin-
cipal characters, sharing with them
in the love affairs, the little COM
edies, man hunts, the duel to death
between the half breed hero and
his rival, and finally in the spec
tacular escape from the bounding

RIDE AT COUNTY EXPENSE
DUE TO ACCIDENT.

Today County Commissioners
Phillips and Rohwer and Engineer
Allan Scott went to the new Trent
bridge to sell some old bridge ma
terial. They expected to ride in
the automobile of Fred McBroom,
president of the board, but the ma
chine was wrecked last night and
McBroom so badly shaken up that
he was not able to be on hand to
go with his colleagues.
So the other commissioners hired
an automobile-the first expense
account of the kind incurred by the
county since the lamented George
II. Collin retired from the board.
Mr.. Collins automobile bills in one
month ran to $50, for the use of
his own machine.
Commissioner wore peculiar
smile on his return, when he found
a reported for The Press looking
over the motive power.
"How about this, joe" asked the
new"
Yes. you'll have to forgive us
this time. Fred McBroom expected
to use his own machine for the
trip. but it was wrecked and We had
to hire one. Had l known that he
could not have been here | would
have brought down my own ma
chine. AS it is, it was just as
cheap to make the trip in a ma
chine as to hire a horse. and it
saved a whole lot of time"
The reporter told Commissioner
Phillips that he was only joshing,
but Joe took the employment of an
automobile seriously, as it was the
first "extravagance" of the kind
that he had been a party to since
going into office.
