Should John lockhart be --eon-
victed Of the murder Of Gilbert
TrubIood, the aged porter Of the
Arlington bar, his case may show
one instance in which truthfuIness

lie might have set him free. Tru-
blood died few weeks ago from a
fractured skull inflicted by y6eng
lockhart, his friend, when tho two
came to blows through the old
mans misunderstanding Of Lock-
harris intentions.
Lockhart fled from the city
thinking he had only slightly in
jured the porter yet fearing he
might be arrested for fighting, he
says. After a few days absence,
he returned to Spokane and went
back to the Cadillac hotel, where he
had previously roomed and there
for the first time, he declares, he
learned of the fatal consequences
of his blow.

goodly section of the roadway
nothing more than a crust.
The cavein occurred near the
west end of the fill. on the north
side of the tracks of the Washing
ton Water Power Co. If there is
more of the fill in the same shape,
ii shows that there are treacherous
conditions underneath, due to the
settling of the rocks, and that great
care should be exercised in going
over the unsightly pile. Had a
street car been on the portion of the
fill that caved in today it would un-

ment on the north side. The hole

terfere with the innocent amusements
on this occasion, i agree with the au-
thorities in a number of other cities in
the country that the time has come to
omit the explosive feature on the Fourth
of July on account of the annoyance and
danger incident to the discharge of pis-
tolls, guns toy cannon. irecackers, &c.
The state and city laws against such
procedures are clear and orders have
been given the police force to see they
are obeyed. 1t Is hoped no one will defy
them and incur the penalties provided
for their infnction. l expect the CO
operation Of all good citizens in my en-
deavors TO have the laws observed. and
ask that they vie with the civic league,

vance of independence Day.
