AUTO GOES OFF Bridge
SIX ESCAPE INJURIES

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur l.. Lukens and
five children had a miraculous es-
cape from death or possibly serious
injury when their Ford car turned
over in Paradise creek behind the
Fairgrounds at Z o'clock Friday
evening. Mr.. Lukens is manager of
the Farmers Union warehouse and
general store at Kahloutes, Wash.
Mr. Lukens and his family had
come to Moscow to visit Mr.. Luken's
sister, Mrs. Homer E. Estes. Mr..
Lukens started to drive back to mis-
home and being unfamiliar with the
road had gone down Sixth street. He
took the cutoff behind the Fair
grounds and in crossing the bridge
the car slipped of into Paradise
creek, turning completely over.
The car was badly damaged and
Mr. Lukens was cut by the broken
windshield but the rest of the mem
bers of his family were unhurt. Mrs.
Lukens had in her arms a 10 months
old baby who was not injured. The
windshield and top of the Ford tour
ing car were broken and the body OF
the car was twisted and bent.
The bridge from which the car
slipped is narrow and there is no
guard rail. Mrs. Lukens' lights at
the time were not working properly
and the slippery road all served to
cause the accident.

ASSAULT CHARGES
AGAINST TWO MEN
TED MANNING, TEKOA, ADMITS
ASSAULT ON SIX YEAR
OLD GIRL

The Latah county sheriff's office
took into custody Friday night two
men charged with most revolving
crimes, one alleged to have been
committed some ten days ago and
the other committed Friday night.
Ted Manning, who names Tekoa as
his home, and gives his age as 19
years, was arrested in st. Maries
Friday on advices from the Latan
county sheriff's office, charged with
assault upon the person of a six
year-old girl. He was turned over
to Sheriff Pat Malone of Bovill, who
brought him to Moscow Friday night.
Manning signed a sworn statement
before Prosecuting Attorney John
Nisbet, setting forth and admitting
the facts in the case, which are most
revolving. The child is the daughter
OF prominent Latah county farmer.
The assault was committed about 10
days ago. The name is withheld by
the officers. Manning had been en-
ployed by the farmer. He waived
preliminary hearing in the probate
court and was bound over to the dis
trict court in $4,000 bonds, which he
is unable to furnish.
G. A. McPhee, a young man from
Occur dAlene, was arraigned Fri
day morning before Judge Adrian
Nelson in the probate court, charged
with assault upon the person of a
young girl McPhee was here to at
tend the ball game, and is said to
have taken the girl from the dance,
held at Eggan's hall Friday night,
to secluded spot nearby, where the
assault occurred. 1t is reported to
The Star-Mirror that a brother of the
girl and two friends, learning of the
case, hunted McPhee down and at
tempted to take him to the county
Jail to turn him over to the author
titles. He showed fight and was
given a severe beating. He was fin
ally taken in charge by Night Police
man Stanley and Deputy Sheriff

He was bound over to the district
court under $2500 bonds.
The officers, in this case, too,
withhold the name of the girl

taken from Main street, in front of
the Pastime Friday night by joy rid
ers. An effort was made by the po-
lice to locate it, but no trace of it
was secured during the night. Sat
urday morning it was found parked
IN the street near Larson's home.

crowd of 5000 witnessed a great
game of football between two haro
fighting teams, a game in which
idaho Fights" was a reality, and a
game in which all the luck in the
world seemed to center on the Cou-
gars.
Hickey and Wheeler were w. S. G.
stars. Captain Dunton Of w. S. G.
played strong game in the line.
Captain Brown, Kleffner and Skip
py'' Stivers were Idaho's offensive
stars. Stivers played great game
as safety man and twice saved the
game for Idaho by stopping w. S. C.
men who had gotten away. Brown
was a power both extensively and
defensively and Kleffner was Idaho's
biggest ground gamer. The Idaho
line worked well as a whole. Hausen
did good work with his place-kick-
ing. Cooley did pretty work on the
receiving end of Stivers' passes.
