Accidental Shooting

M. Lamb, one of the prominent citi-
zens of Cusick, accidentally shot himself
while out hunting Saturday. In COM
pany with Dick Nolan he had gone
hunting in boat up the Calispel river,
and while moving to get out of the boat
Mr.. Lamb upset the automatic shotgun,
and the gun discharged its contents into
his right leg. His knee joint was so
badly shattered that it was necessary to
amputate md he was taken to Spokane
to have the operation performed. Drs.
Phillips and Rogers. of Newport, were
summoned to give first aid, and made
the trip to Cusick in the Phillips auto in
55 minutes.
1t was at first feared that Mr.. Lamb
would not be able to withstand the
shock of the wound and amputation, but
reports from Spokane are to the effect
that he stands very good chance of re-
covery. The limb was taken off above
the knee.

injustice to later appropriations.
Let not the people interested in the

junior appropriations think that only
those canals having early priorities
are the only ones affected, because
1t affects all such canals with al

MONEY BACK

State Treasurer Roady Kenehan
yesterday afternoon received from
Attorney General Benjamin Griffith
check for $2,S21.21, that being
the amount collected by the state in
its action against James Cowie, the
former secretary of state.
In the letter which accompanied
the check Attorney General Griffith
stated tina the $2,s21.21 represent
ed certain taxes collected by Cowie
and which Cowie asserted he should
not be made to account for until
court action had been taken. as they
were collected under protest.
The state sued Mr.. Cowie in the
district court and secured judgment
OF $3,7S1.21. but upon an appeal to
the supreme court supersedeas
was granted as to $3.50 collected
from the Colorado & Southern rail-
road, the balance of the judgment
being permitted to stand.
