w. c. Donovan, special prose
cutOr in the ENLIGHTENMENT case

superintendent, laid the Foundation
this morning for his charges that

the county's money to his own use
in 1906. .r.
Charles R. Howard, deputy audi
tor and secretary of the board OF
county commissioners, c. L. At
kinson, county clerk and former
warrant clerk. were placed on the
stand to testify as to the sums paid
Stafford each month, the telephone
bills being one of the items includ,
ed in the monthly bills.
Donovan will finish the state s
case this afternoon, trying to prove
that Stafford allowed the telephone
bill to accumulate for six months,
although he received monthly re-
mittances from the county to salts
fy the claim, and then had Howe
a Spangle grocer. pay the bill and
charge the county with under
wear"
1t is understood that the de-
Tense, represented by Attorneys
Nuzum & Nuzum, Graves, Kizer &
Graves and p. c. Sullivan, will at
tempt to show that Stafford and
the county were acting together as
debtor and creditor, rather than
principal and agent, which would
materially affect the aspect of the
case.

+" CUTE" JOB.

One of the cutest robberies and
yet one of the most open and dar-
ing jobs which has been pulled off
in Spokane for many months. was
perpetrated on the Bank of Mon
treal few days ago. ~....- =.
The man who got the money is
thought to be an Italian. though his
name is not known He appeared
at the bank recently and told them
his name was Peter Seitresberg and
that he had lost his bank book.
Seitresberg is a Russian, who lives
at the Union hotel and who had
about S575 in the Montreal bank.
The clerks fell for the state
ment of the imitation Mr.. Seitres-
berg and a new book was issued.
At the same time the Italian de-
posted about $50 on Se1tfesberg' s
account and had it marked in the
book. A few days later he ap-
peared again. Recognizing him as
the man who deposited $50 a few
days before, the bank clerks lost
no time in paying him the entire
account when he asked for it.

longing to the park board and have
been fitted up with light and heat
and made as comfortable as posi-
BILE under the circumstances. The
health department faced a serious
emergency during the winter and
the close proximity of these build
ings to the hospital saved the day.
So much for the general appear
ance of things. DR.. Grieve and the
health board are apparently doing
everything they can for the COM
fort and relief of those so unfor-
tunate as to be detained in the in
stitution. The taxpayers are foot
ing the bills cheerfully, the only
question remains-are the patients
getting what is coming to them in
the way of food from the superin-
tendent, V. B. Harris, and has Har-
ris prOflted more than he should in
return for the services given the
taxpayers for the large amounts of
money he has drawn, r board, sal
airy and transportation of patients
The records show that Harris has
drawn over $4,000 in the last %
months from the city for boarding
and hauling patients to the hospital
He is on the payroll as superintend-
ent at $1,000 per year and his wife
is on the payroll as nurse at $3.50
per day. All of the help around the
hospital except the cook and a
dishwasher is paid for by the city,
Harris charges board for the
nurses and the help as well as the
patients, billing the meals to the
city at rs cents each. He pays no
rent, no water charges, no light
bill. Harris owns large ranch
said to contain 800 acres, near
Cheney, from which he draws his
supply of milk and possibly his
vegetables. In this way some of
the necessities for the patients are
secured direct from the native
source of production, which is all
to the advantage of the patients
even though it may be good bust
ness for Harris. During the first
diet of milk or soup, which is billed
to the city the same as solid food.
When the question as to how
they were treated was put to the
various patients the answer usually
received was "all right" The re-
porter asked three boys in the
scarlet fever ward as to how were
the meals The boys exchanged
smiles and then remarked. ooh. l
guess it's all right. We have man.
aged to live on it," But they would
make no statement in detail.
Harris showed the reporter the
larder in which he kept his meats.
There was half quarter Of beef
in the box and also three immense
soup bones that had once been
boiled, but were set aside, evidently
for further use. The fresh meat
had the appearance of being of ex-
cellent quality.
