being circulated among the patrons
of the company for the purpose Of
raising funds to employ able legal
counsel to fight the cases in court.
For nearly three weeks one-half
to three-fourths of the patrons of
the company, whose service sup
plies more than a square mile OF
territory, have been without water
because of the freezing of the
services leading from the mains to
the curb lines.
The city of Spokane and other
water companies look after the

Jones manager, Jesse Jones or
Hilyard, refused to heed the re-
quests that piled up on him for the
relief Of his patrons in the Cannon

had paid their water rent in ad-
vance. Jesse Jones is brother OF
Arthur ID. and is an autocrat main
tanned by the Spokane brother in
Hillyard for the sole purpose OF ex-
tracing every penny from the
water consumers so unfortunate as
to be in the grip of the Jones
system.
An appeal was made to Arthur

said: See Jesse; he has that mat

the same was paid for.
Inspector Henderson of the
health department OF the city OF
Spokane, to whom 1t was given to
investigate the complaint filed
against the Jones water system as
common nuisance, has turned In
report that condemns the manner
in which water service has been
rendered. He found modern
houses with fine fixtures for water
service, but no water for the daily
needs of the family In maintaining
sanitary conditions. His recon-
mendations to the health depart
ment are that conditions be Inn
proved in some way, and it is prob
able that the health board will take
action in the premises at an early
date.

Who Killed Wealthy Colonel
Swope? And Who Sought
His Millions by Trying to
Wipe Out Whole Family
~ at Kansas City, Mo-?

Y lANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 27.-
When prisoner set out to kill Col.
Thos. H. Swope, millionaire land
owner, and member of his family,
ne used more cunning than the Bor-
gias OF old we're credited with. In
stead of giving Col. Swope some
quick poison, he was inoculated
with the germs of typhoid fever,
and then died in commissions.
) Later Chrisman Swope, a neph-
CIV, died in commissions, after hav-
ing taken capsule. Hardly was
this funeral over than Mrs. Swope
was taken i'll of typhoid early in
December. Then followed the i'll
ness of Margaret Swope, Miss Dix
on the SwOpe family governess, a
negro servant; Miss Compton, the
scafnstress; Stuart Fleming; Sarah
Swope, aged IA; Stella Swope, and
Lucy Lee.
In fact, the only member of the
swope family not taken i'll seems
TO be Mrs. B. Clark Hyde, a daugh-
Ter OF the dead millionaire. Her
husband, DR.. Hyde, was physician
20 the Swope family until shortly
after the death of Chrisman Swope,
when he withdrew.
Investigators working on the
case say they have proof that the
suspect or suspects in the Swope
case planned the killing off of
nearly all the heirs to the rich
man. @
DIR. Hyde, who has been named
IN the case, has lived a life of Pc
culiarities. He was once arrested
charged with grave robbing. A
negro witness against him swore he
had helped DR.. Hyde rob another
grave.
1 Hyde was elected city physician,
hut was discharged when a negress
preferred charges Of cruelty
against him.
Although elected president of
the Jackson County Medical So
ciety for this year. he has not yet
been installed. In fact, he is said
TO be Ill.
The theory of the prosecution,
which Is being aided by lawyers
for the heirs Of Col. Swope, is that
