and himself crippled with the same
disease which has tortured his wife
for almost a decade, it serving a
six months sentence in the county
Jail on charge of begging.
For 10 long years Mrs. Bush,
whose home is now in Walla Walla,
writes she has been separated from
herb usband, and now that both
need each other more than ever be-
fore. and for the sake of three chill
dren born to them in ahppier times,
she asks that her husband be re-
leased so that they may end their
lives together. Her letter, which
is addressed to the city council of
Spokane. follows:
HER LETTER.
II wish to write you a few lines
in regard TO the elderly man who Is
serving six months sentence in
the county Jail. That poor old man
never did anything wrong; he tried
to make an honest living by making
a preparation to clean carpets. rugs,
clothes and such things, and he did
work for some of the best people,
but he got so bad with rheumatism
and people were so slow in buying
that he went and asked for a little
aid from people to get enough to
live on, and by so doing he got ar
rested aud was thrown in jail for
six months. Some people that are
able and strong can go and beg
from door to door and it is thought
to be all right-the Salvation Army,
for example-and others of the
same class. They are upheld by the
public, but an old and crippled man
has to sit in Jail for nothing.
Now, if he was here he could
help me and make a home for us.
We have been separated for 10 long
years and we want to get together
and see what we can do for our
selves, and also our two boys and
our little girl.
Il am crippled myself with the
same disease, but | have to work
and do the best l can, and If he
were here no doubt he could be
some help and comfort. If he were
q young man it would be different
thing, but he is too old man to be
in Jail for simply doing nothing.
That / know. or ! would never beg
and plead for him. Please see what
you can do for him. and let me
know as soon as possible. / remain,
Mrs. Ella Bush, 312 Colville street,
Walla Walla."

aired in the superior court a num-
Der of times, until finally last Feb

Rodenhaver says the mortgage

says that she did not know what
she was signing and not until after
Attorney H. l.. Kimball had taken
the acknowledgment did she real

She then made a protest to Kim

haver was on his way to the court

The mortgage is against the

GRAND STREET PAVING y 8: 3:

crew has covered the entire piece
of work, instead of following one
crew up with others.
AS a result, no teams have been
able to furnish heavy stuff to house
holders for months. This is the
time for purchase of winter fuel,
with summer rates, but nobody in
Mantle can do it, because the teams
cannot reach them.
To begin with, Lilienthal did not
have parts Of the street on an II
inch level, as agreed upon. A prop
erty holder found that there was
only six inch level, and he forced
them to level it off properly.
Mantle boulevard people have
formally stated that they do not
want Lilienthal to handle their paw
ing job, and Grand street residents
are kicking themselves now to think
that they didn't enter a protest. But
it is probable that they will be
heard from before the long drawn
ont paving job is completed.
