BOY DYING

ened by years of trouble and
worry.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Griffith
needed glasses and a local physi-
clan offered to give them to her,
and let her do some sewing to pay
for them some time later on. But
instead of that, the money was held
back on the first sewing that she
did for the family and she was
counting on that to help her this
week.
The mother has been bothered
with dropsy and rheumatism lately
and really ought to be in bed, with
a doctor to look after her, and lots
Of nourishing food, but she has to
sit up and take care of her boy,
and go out to solicit sewing when
she can. She has lived in Spokane
for several years and has several
friends here who are in more or
less affluent circumstances, but to
whom she has been too proud to
appeal. But friend has made the
appeal for her.
WORTHY CASE.
A reporter for The Press has
made an investigation into the sur
rounding circumstances, and has
personally verified all the above
statements. He Is convinced that
the cause is worthy one, and
fund has been started for the moth
er and her boy. Large contribu-
tions are neither expected nor
asked for-although they will be
received-and The Press wants to
raise SIS or 500 to help Mrs. Crit
fifth buy few clothes, little medf
cine an dto assist her in getting on
her feet again. The readers of The
Press have been conspicuously gen.
erous in the past, and 1t is to the
readers of The Press that the ap-
peal is made. Send a dollar or
two, or half a dollar or two bits, or
even a dime, and it will all help.
Address it to the Griffith Fund,
Press, Spokane.

FORTY SAID TO Be
DEAD NEAR TuSCOR

That there are 40 bodies Of fire
fighters lying near Tuscor, together
with five living men, badly injured,
was the intelligence received this
morning by The Press in 4 postcard
sent to this paper from Ponderay,
signed by a rancher in the district.
The card says:
There are on the opposite bank
of the river at Tuscor, Mont, at a
ranch house, the bodies of 20 men
and five living, who were terribly
burned and have had no medical
attention, according to- the ranch
men.
"The injured are in terrible
agony, as he can get no doctor.
"He claims that there are also
the bodies of 20 or more men still
in the woods. The story was
brought here by railroad men, who
saw the rancher at Noxon yester-
day."

the English insist was eight times
as large as that of the English
army. There seems little doubt
that the French army-at the be-
ginning of the fight, was double its
adversary, and that at the finish
1t was no army at all. 1t is said
that at Crecy the British used gun
powder for the first time, but not
for the brutal purpose of killing the
enemy. The small cannon were
merely loaded to scare the French
cavalry horses, which would then
mercifully trample their riders to
death.
