sufficient to win him between
$4,000 and 100000, his SO per
cent Of the gate receipts
The third round went one min
ute, 13 seconds. Miske went
down three times in less than two
and one-half- minutes of fighting
In the fatal drive, driven to his
corner under a rain of lefts and
rights to the stomach and chin
the challenger took the county Of
nine and had just regained his
feet when Dempsey carefully
measuring his balance, finished
the bout with a right hand punch
to the chin.

Death Of Mrs. d. v. Dowd.

Mrs. Douglas Y. Dowd passed
away at the home of the family
West Ills Mansfield Ave, Spo
kane, on the afternoon of Satur.
lday, Sept. 4, following an illness
Iof five months duration. All mem
bers of the family were at hel
bedside when the end came. The
funeral was conducted from the
Hazen-Jaeger undertaking par
lors and interment was made in
the Riverside cemetery, Spokane
MONDAY afternoon.
The news of Mrs. Dowd s de.
mise was a sad surprise to many
Of the friends of the family in this
lsection, as it was not generally
known here that her condition
had grown serious.
The deceased was born in Sen
eca Falls, New York, in 1859 and
Eremoved to Kansas in 1879, where
she became the wife Of Douglas
v. Dowd five years later. They
came to this prairie and took ur
| a homestead in the rich Central
Ridge district at the opening OF
the reservation in 1895. Later
Mr.. Dowd had charge of the
Bank of Mohler and in 1908 they
moved to Nezperce, where he fol
three years held the cashiershiT
Of the Bank Of Nezperce. In 1911
this institution was merged into
the Farmers State Bank and the
Dowds took up their residence IN
ISpokane.
Mrs. Dowd is survived by hel
husband and their two children
| A. G. Dowd, Of Vera, Wn., and
Mrs. d. E. Dunning, Of Spokane
Our community never claimed
among its citizenship any finer
people than this family. They
were held in highest esteem an6
respect and had the friendship
and confidence of all, and thi
passing of Mrs. Dowd brings
feeling of sorrow and sincere
sympathy for the surviving mem
bers of her family.
