CLEARED UP

Mystery surrounding the accident
to Martin HOlum of E303 Second
avenue, which occurred Saturday
evening at Sprague avenue and
Division streets and resulted in his
death at Sacred Heart hospital yes
terday forenoon, has been cleared
up by the statement of c. P. Nc
Greanor, taxicab driver, who is
said to have acknowledged to the
police that Holum's death was
caused by being struck by the tax
icab driven by McGreanor.
Telling of the accident, McGrean-
or said that he was driving his ma
chine In answer to call when Ho-
lum suddenly stepped directly into
his path. He could not stop the
taxi, and the unfortunate man was
struck. At the time of the acct
dent, McGreanor claimed to have
found Holum lying beside the rail-
way tracks. He now explains this
statement by saying that he was
frightened and feared the conse.

GET SEVEN
IN A RAID.

A police raid on a gambling den
at the rear of the old Main block
on Front avenue at 2:30 o'clock
this morning, resulted in the cap
ture of Toma Markas, James
Douglas, Peter Bogus, Peter Ross,
James Brown and Gus kearlis, who
are held at the city Jail on charges
of gambling.
The raid came as the result of a
complaint of George Korokedof, a
Greek, who declared that he had
been "fleeced' in the place. When
Officers Grant Bradley and Ulrich,
and Sergeant Warner broke in the
door of the place they found money,
cards and chips upon the table at
which the players had been sitting.
These were all swept from the ia

perate, but unavailing effort to es,
cape from the tolls of the law.

DROWNING
OR SUICIDE

Accidental drowning or suicide is
supposed to be the cause of death
of c. Gosca, whose body was found
in the river near the Washington
street bridge this morning.
From the appearance of the body
1t is evident that death occurred
about two weeks ago, and the acct
dent or suicide theory is borne out
by the fact that the coroner has
been unable to find any marks of
violence on the body. The body
was located by S. E. McNeal, log
roller for the Phoenix sawmill. A
gold watch and $45 in money found
on the person of the dead man pre-
cludes the theory of robbery.

MEETING TOMORROW.

So strong has the opposition to
the compulsory vaccination idea be-
come that meeting has been called
for tomorrow evening in the rooms
of the Philosophical society, in the
Granite building, at which time it is
proposed to formally organize the
Anti-Vaccination league of Spokane,
for the purpose of combating the
vaccination idea.
While opinions vary as to the
value of vaccination, the general
concensus of medical opinion in the
city is that vaccination is what
might be appropriately termed a
necessary evil.
OPINIONS ON MATTER.
Among the physicians who dis
cussed the subject with The Press
today was DR.. S. P. Seabrook, 41O
Granite building. The doctor felt
that he was not sufficiently in
formed to express an opinion as ~,
the immediate necessity of vaccina-
ton in the public schools, but at the
same time expressed himself as
strongly in favor of vaccination, as
scientific safeguard against dis
ease.
Dr. Grieve, city health officer,
was non-committal today as to the
outcome of the fight against vaccin-
alton, but it was plain to be seen
from his attitude that he thought
compulsory vaccination would not
be enforced at the present time.
Hundreds of parents have ex-
pressed their opinion on the sub
ject, and the concensus of these
opinions is that If there wer ca gen.
eral epidemic of smallpox in the
city at the present time no objec-
ton would be made to the vaccina-
ton order, but that in view of the
fact that the city is just now free
from this particular disease than in
year or more past the order is
entirely unnecessary and uncalled
for.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

A most interesting social feature of
the holiday week occurred at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Westlake, when
their daughter Mabelle Grace was
welded to George Fred Ehrlinger at
high noon on Wednesday, December %,
1910. The ceremony began with the
rendition of ''The Song of Heart, )"
by Miss Margaret McCullock of James
vile. Miss Leora Westlake, sister of
the bride, played the Lohengrin we'd
ding march. The couple were unat-
tended and Rev. w. P. Christy of La
Crosse read the service under a bell of
smilax and white roses. The bride was
attired in gown of duchess lace over
white silk and carried a bouquet of
brides roses.
Following the congratulations four
course dinner was served under the dl-
rection of Mrs. Edward Falter of James
vile. Late in the afternoon the bride
and groom took their departure on a
brief honeymoon trip. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ehrlinger will be at home to friends at
629 South Main street, GAINESVILLE, after
February 1. Mr. Ehrlinger was for
several years head of the Gazette limo
type department and is at present sec
rotary and treasurer of the GAINESVILLE

resided in that city for several years
past. A large number of GAINESVILLE
friends were present at the nuptials as
we'll as Mr.. and Mrs. John Walters of
Oregon.
