wanted to speak to him. The rotunda
was in semi darkness.
BROxON STRUCK DOWN.
Broxon stopped and awaited the ar
rival of Shook from the opposite of the
rotunda. THE last thing in my mind
at that time was an attack" said Sec
retary Broxon. When Warden Snook
reached Broxon and stood directly In
front of him, he said:
DO you still write editorials for the
Capital News?"
"Yes, sometimes" replied Broxon.
did you write that editorial about
Barker and me about the investigation
at the penitentiary ~ said Shook.
yes sir" replied Broxon.
At that instant Warden Snook swung
his right hand on which was brass
knuckle or some other instrument with
the force of his 200 pounds behind IT
TO Broxon's head striking him above
the right eye, knocking him uncon-
scious and flooring him. When Broxon
saw the swift movement of the warden
he was not fast enough to raise his
arms to ward it off although he at
tempted to do so. Fortunately the blow

fell to the marble floor with great force,

fusely until there was pool of blood
on the floor. Not content with deliver =

in his rage showered blows on the
form of his PROSTATE victim and kick

gaining consciousness Broxon tried to
ward off his assailant by kicking at

"Give him more. john" urged Barker,

rotunda and was a witness to the as

Sncok then renewed his attack. Di-
rector Scholtz of the farm markets
bureau hearing the noise. rushed into
the rotunda. At that time Shook was
kicking and beating Broxon as he was
down. Scholtz asked Shook to desist
and stop beating one who was down
and allow Broxon to get up. Finally.

Broxon to get to his feet.

NEWS CAUSES INDIGNATION.

News of the attack spread like Wild
fire over the city last night and was
the chief subject OF conversation. The
greatest indignation was expressed by
all classes of men regardless OF party
affiliation. 1t created a sensation. The
office of the governor last night was
filled with prominent men who ex-
pressed their sympathy for the man at
tackled and in no uncertain terms con-
demned the men responsible for the
unprovoked assault. Today-there was
even more Indignation on their part
after reading the garbled report of the
assault appearing in the morning paper
which has defended both the secretary
of state and the warden in all their Of
ficial acts in the past. No mention is
made In that article of the fact that
Secretary Broxon wore glasses at the
time he was attacked, that the assault
was made after office hours and has
every appearance of being premeditat-
ed and that all the blows were struck
by Warden Shook. An attempt is made
to clear Barker by stating he rushed
from his office and tried to make the
warden desist when in fact he urged
the warden to continue his attack even
after the latter had knocked his victim
down.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED.
That Secretary Broxon was not SER
iously if not dangerously injured is re-
markable. When he fell his head struck
the marble floor and just missed one
of the sharp pointed marble pillar
bases. Had his head struck that his
skull-would probably have been frac-
tured. Broxon claims that he was
struck by something other than a fist
or the deep cash in his head would not
have been cut open. The surgeon who
attended says bare knuckles would not
have inflicted such an ugly wound.
What makes the attack the more SER
ious is that Warden Snook is an Off
Ger of the law, sworn to keep the peace
and that as warden he carries a gun
for use in case of emergency. Had the
blow that felled the secretary struck
the glasses he wore at the time one or
both of his eyes would probably have
been put out. In many states II Is made
a criminal offense to strike a person
wearing glasses.
AFTER OFFICIAL HOURS.
The official hours at the state house
are from to o'clock. After the lat
ter-4lour the state house is deserted ex-
cept for those heads OF departments
who are held at their desks and the
janitors and caretakers. Secretary
Broxon has been in the habit of re-
at his desk after hours. Last
night he left the governors office and
went into the office of w. G. Scholtz.
director of farm markets. who return
ed yesterday from FL Paso, Tex, to
talk with him regarding his trip. At
S 80 o'clock Secretary Broxon left the
farm markets department which is to
the north of the governors office and
on the same floor. He had turned to-
ward the door leading to the last
office when Warden Shook.

Delay Telephone Service

f. B, Schlette, of the Curley Creek
district, was in the city Saturday.
Mr.. Schlette states that the Curley
Creek telephone line will probably
be open to public use in a week or
ten days. In company with J. E.
Ryan, of the Pend d'Oreille national
forest reserve at Standpoint, Mr..
Schlette recently completed a test
of the new line from Moyie Springs
to Troy and Libby, Mont. The line
appeared to be clear and in first
class condition but owing to trouble
in getting the repeating coils to
work in the office of the Interstate
Utilities company here it cannot be
used yet. Mr.. Schlette thinks that
the close proximity Of the new tele-
phone line to the telegraph wires of
the Spokane International railway
has a great deal to do with the
trouble. The matter has been taken
up with the Spokane offices of the
local telephone company and an ex-
pert is expected on the ground ir
a few days.
