OTHER FOR EIGHTEEN
YEARS.
(Bv United Press)


NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Two
old men, who had arrived at
the age when a peaceful end
was near, fought a duel to death
early today. John Ferris, 56
years old, had the steadier
hand, and his opponent, VIII
liam Wood, aged 72, fell dead
with five bullets in his body.
The battle took place in the
basement of a big grocery store
at Broadway and Twenty-first
street, where Ferris had work.
ed for 81 years. Eighteen
years ago Woods entered the
employ of the firm. Ferris re-
garded him as an interIoper,
and since that time had looked
upon him as a new conner. Last
night Woods, feeble with age
and delayed by the blizzard
that swept New York came to
work a little late.
Ferris greeted him with the
boast that the "oId timer"
could beat any "new conner" at
getting to work. Then he or
dered Woods to sweep out, and
the old man refused. The
enemies quarreIed until long
past midnight, and their re-
marks growing heated, and
finally containing threats.

GRAFT FOE
TO OPPOSE
STAFFORD
w. C. DONOVAN, FORMER DEP
UTY PROSECUTOR, TO CON.
DUCT CASE AGAINST
POOR MAN.
APPOINTED BY KEENAN,
DONOVAN Is THE MAN WHO
WITH AID OF GRAND JURY
TURNED SEARCHLIGHT
COUNTY AFFAIRS.

William c. Donovan, former dep
uty prosecutor, who while in Of
flee was fearless foe Of grating
county officials in the investiga-
tion by the grand jury, was ap-
pointed today by Judge Henry L.
kennan to prosecute the case
against William M. Stafford, super
intendent of the poor farm, for the
alleged embezzle ment of $29 Of
county funds.
Donovan is the man who brought
to light the facts in the Stafford
case and Is peculiarly fitted to try
the case. Prosecutor Pugh is dis
qualified from prosecuting the case
because Of the fact that he 10 an
uncle Of Stafford by marriage.
1t Is currently accepted that
Donovans activity In digging up
the facts about county officials ac-
cused of grating cost him his job
in the prosecuting attorneys Of
flee. Donovan has been a gamer
financially by the change, as he
has made more in private practice
than he earned as deputy prose
cutor. Donovan made a host of
friends among the farmers of Spo-
kane county by his fearless pur
suit of the grating officials. and
the farmer members of the grand
jury stood by him at all times.
1t is understood that there was
clash in the grand jury room at
the time of the consideration of
the Stafford indictment, Prosecut-
or Pugh holding that the law did
not cover Stafford's offense and
Donovan insisting that Stafford
should be indicted The matter was
appealed to five superior judges,
sitting together, and they held with
Donovan that the facts alleged
constituted sufficient ground to in
dict the keeper Of the poor farm.
Stafford is charged with secur-
ing the money from the county by
collecting ii under the guise Of a
telephone bill Other irregularities
in Stafford's accounts We're found,
but such pressure was brought to
bear on some of the states wit
nesses that they refused to substan-
tiate before the grand jury the
facts they had given Donovan in
his private investigation. Stafford
has grown wealthy while caring
for the county poor for 10 years.

HOLDS Up
FRANCHISE

The city council seems to have
reached the conclusion that the
sale of the city hall must carry an
agreement to build union depot
or there will be nothing doing. A
vote to this effect was taken last
night at the regular meeting, after
which the council as a committee
Of the whole proceeded to take up
the consideration of the North
Coasts application for a franchise.
There will be no "railroading'
of the franchise through the city
council If some of the members
can prevent it, and the council last
night began work on a long series
of objections, big and little. that
were entered against the Strahorn
application in its present form.
l.. H. Hamblen. attorney for the
railroad, was disposed to meet the
city more than half way on these
objections. The matter will come
up at another session tonight.

was also caused to be published in
the Spokesman-Review. The at
torneys for Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
are Fred H. Moore of Spokane and
Dayid X. Tone of Chicago.
1t is related in the complaint,
which is of some length, that Eliza
beth Gurley Flynn has during the
last four, years been public
speaker and lecturer for the So
cialist party and the Industrial
Workers of the World, giving ad-
dresses and lectures in all parts
of the United States, and that she
has written for magazines and
newspapers.
The complaint asserts that be-
cause of the letter of Mayor Pratt,
her reputation and efficiency has
been greatly damaged. The feature
of the letter to which the chief OBJ
lection is made is the statement
that the complainant is wild and
hyStericaI' person.
1t is contained In the following
portion of the letter:
However, those having charge
Of that Jail, on admitting that Miss
Flynn was confined therein, deny
most decisively the wild and hys-
terical inferences and conclusions
drawn by Miss Flynn. A
mans reputation is dear to him, and
If based upon true character. he de-
serves that his good name should
not be unjustly attacked as mere
incident to hysterical and law
breaking conspirator. We who know
him know that his character is so
high and his daily conduct so we'll
ordered that Miss Flynn's charge
against this man refutes itself and
diseloses the prejudice and hyster-
ical character of her letter"

HARRY JOLLY, AGED z, FROZEN TO DEATH
WHILE LOOKING FOR WORK IN BIG CITY
BY j. v. KNIGHT.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Jan. 15.-From
where l sat in the big new La Sale
hotel the other morning, it was
evident that this great, rich city
was bidding a glorious welcome te
1910. On Madison street, laughing,
fur-clad men and women were
swept. by in flurries like the snow
that fell In binding curtain.
Neither cold nor storm, though,
checked the radiance of prosperity
that was outside and in. All around
me in the granite-and-gilt hall peo-
pie were saying "A fine january"
A big man happened to mention,
too, that it was 6 below zero.
And that's what made me turn
to the cold weather report in my
newspaper. Halfway down the col
umn were the names of four VIC
Tins, and this sentence led the list:

There are so many big hulks of

wheat and in their shadows was
the home where Harry Jolly lived,
and from where he started out to
look for work and was frozen to
death. The little One-stOry house
with the white crepe on the door
was the one. George H. jolly,
Harry's father, opened the door
when l knocked.
Eyes, it's true" he said quietly,
when asked him. "Harry's in

times weren't so hard I'd say to

up, without a tremor in his voice.
The grief was in his face, but
he did not express it. The poor
