WHILE SLEEPING ON TRAIN,
$1o5 STOLEN FROM HER.

Special agents of the Great
Northern, the sheriff's office and
the Spokane police department have
been called into consultation in the
robbery case Of Mrs. Myers, an old
lady of Newport, Wash, who ar
rived in Spokane this morning. Be-
coming exhausted by travel, the old
woman dropped asleep on Great
Northern train, somewhere along
the way between Boomers Ferry,
Idaho, and Hillyard, and when she
awoke she discovered that $105 had
been deXterously slipped from her
purse.
An alarm was raised Immediately
in the day coach in which she was
riding. and the conductor lead an

piciOn on a crippled man who had
occupied seat near the victim of
the robbery and who had left the
train but short time before the
theft was discovered Search is
now being made for this party.
1t is said that the police have
little jurisdiction in the case be-
cause the robbery occurred outside

his ranch near Rathdrum, to which

either by relatives or acquaint-

Nugent declared he knew nothing
of the Redfield girls whereabouts
and that if her disappearance took
place at the same time of his de-

merely a matter of coincidence.

Contractor John Huetter laid
bare the effort to defeat the build
ing of the standpipes, when he gave
out the above interview. Huettel
says that he has been interfered
with in the progress of the work
and that the city or some one must
make good the loss caused.
All of which goes to show that
the board of public works and City
Engineer Ralston are trying tC
complcate the water extensions as
they did the Sprague avenue fill
Huetters statement that he has
been ready and still is to build the
standpipes removes the RESPONSE
bility for the delay from his shout
ders and places it where it belongs
on the shoulders of the executive
heads at the city hall.
The city council last night
adopted a resolution offered by
Councilman Lambert ordering the
board of public works to proceed
with the building of the standpipes.
Lambert scored the board for its
delay and temporizing with this i'm
portant Improvement. The council
is in no mood to brook the delay in
the standpipe contract and will see
that the board stays with the job
until it is done
Councilman Ostrander and Com
missioner Armstrong spoke in favor
of DELAYING the building of the
standpipes until next year, but no
support was given the suggestion.
