Boats Strike
SHOT FIRED AT STEAMER HARRISON
Miss Spokane Struck Twice by 0. w. R. & N Boat
Near Mouth of Occur d'AIene River.

Yesterday afternoon the Red
Collar Line boat Miss Spokane.
was twice struck by the O. w.
r.. q N. steamer Harrison near
the mouth of the Occur d'Alene
river shortly after leaving Harri-
son. A. V. Chamberlain, IA banker
of Coeur d'Alene, fired "a shot
across in front of the pilot house
of the Harrison, commanding
Captain Reynolds To swing his
boat Off. At the time the shot
was fired the Harrison was head
ing directly for the Miss Spokane.
Captain Eli Laird of the Miss
Spokane, when seen by a repre-
sentative of The Record, stated
that shortly after The boat left
Ilagrison they ran into heavy
bank of fog and the O. W. r.. & N.
boat Immediately started crowd
ing the Miss Spokane over toward
the mouth of the river off from
her course. He stated that no
attention was paid to the passing
signal, which was given twice,
followed by the distress signal
when his boat was crowded into
the shallow water at the mouth
of the river.
After his boat had been struck
twice, Captain Laird swung to
port i'm an attempt to get away
from the booms and the Harrison
was headed directly for the Miss
Spokane when Mr.. Chamberlain
fred a shot close to the pilot
house and Captain Reynolds
swung his wheel over. After
swinging away from the Miss
Spokane the Harrison crashed in
to a boom.
Both boats were we'll loaded,
there being about fifty passengers,
among whom were number of
women and children, ON the Red
Collar Line boat. When the boats
struck the second time, George
Williams, an architect of Occur
Id'Alene, ran into the pilot house
of the Miss Spokane, seized a rifle
which was there and threatened
Captain Reynolds of the Harrison
with it,.

convene in Boise on December 10
for the purpose Of discussing re-

LABOR AGITATOR is
RECEIVED AT PENITENTIARY

j. Otis Ellis, sentenced from
Clearwater county under the new
statute charging the crime of
criminal syndicalism, has the
distinction of being the first man
incarcerated at the state peniten-
tiary and booked under that
charge. He was escorted to the
states prison by Sheriff f. j..
Sullivan and is under sentence
.of from 1 to IA years. ELS is a
Socialist and fairly we'll educated.
"The specific charge which
caught Ellis was his attempt TO
influence men going into a log
ging camp i'm our county to cut
trees for ties, to cut the lengths
a foot shorter than ordered un-
less they secured higher wages, -
said Sheriff Sullivan. "Of course
liz this had been done it would
have ruined the contractor for if
the length had not been right
they would not have made ties.
The men working in the camp
we're receiving SA a day. Ellis
thought they should be getting
more wages. The men ap-
preached reported the fact to
their boss and Ellis was arrested,
tried and convicted under the
new law"
The first conviction under this
statute took place at Wallace, in
Shoshone county, but for some
reason not known here the con-
lVicted man has now been sent tC
the penitentiary. 1t is supposed
that he perfected an appeal tC
the supreme court and was re-
leased under bonds.
Ellis took his incarceration
without comment. He was de
livered early in the morning ant
assigned to a cell Ever since
his trial he has maintained h
had a right to give the advice h
did.

The State has finished putting
in its testimony and rested its
case in the action of the State
against Neil Quincy, on trial for
criminal syndicalism. The State
introduced a mass of literature
which had been seized at the time
of his arrest. Among the lot was
a number of books advocating
sabotage and telling how it could
be practiced without the per
.petrator being detected. Logs
could be cut short, spelling their
market value. Spikes could be
driven into logs which would
break the saws as they passed
through the mill. Important
parts could be removed from
logging engines. The men could
kill time in working on the job
and in fact hundreds of ways
were pointed out whereby pro-
ductiOn in various industries
could be lessened.
Witnesses we're also intro
duced who testified that sabotage
had been advocated here and
threatened by members of the
l. w. w. Testimony was also of
threats made by members to in
duce men to quit work and also
threats to destroy property.
