tered the hospital the day before and
those who were informed did not I'M

neer had passed on. Mr. Johnson came
to the Occur d'Alene district in 1886
and from that time made Wallace his

which time he displayed an admirable
public spirit in supporting measures

of Wallace the most notable of these
being the paving of all streets and al
leys in the city.

Sheriff W. T. Clark said today that
it was entirely possible that Patter-

him, and the Jail physician carefully

said there had been no assault. They
held a kangaroo court to deal with

"At the present time the facilities
of our public schools are entirely in

been found necessary during the past
few years to utilize portable buildings
in order to house the great number of

stressed, as follows:

near Meadows, Nd. on the theory that
he was the victim of thieves.
Not an important clue tending to
substantiate this theory has yet been
uncovered, and the belief was becom-
ing stronger than ever that the
wealthy western oil operator was
trailed to Washington by political or
business enemies and slain for re-
venge. 1t was regarded as highly

The authorities hold out scant hope

WOMAN, SMOKING
ON STREET, DEFIES
INTERFERING COP

NEW YORK, August 19.-Women
here were waiting with interest to-
day for the decision of Police Com
missioner Enright as TO whether a
policeman can stop a woman from
smoking a cigarette on the street.
The question arose after Policeman
kilyon raped the knuckles of Mrs.
May Sladen after she refused to dis
card a cigarette. The woman was
smoking while standing with her
husband and chatting with friends
on Broadway. Most of the women in
the party were wearing knicker-
bockers.
Edward H. Sladen protested to the
policeman that he had given his wife
the cigarette and that there was no
law to prevent her smoking where
and when she wished. He made a
complaint against Kilyon and the
matter was passed to Commissioner
Enright for decision.
