Navigation train robbers. In occupying
tm attention or County Auauor ornnaes.
While Auditor Brandy refuses to com
mit himself as to what aetioa ha Will
take In regard to the sheriffs bill, ha
declares it to be excessive.
Under a statute passed by the last
legislature, It la duty of the county
auditor to pass on all bills before send
l:W them to the county court. A bin
ludoraed by the auditor may be rejected
by the court, but whether the court can
How a bill rejected by the auditor ia a
mooted question.
;The bill presented by Sheriff Storey
represents expenditures during five
weeks while he waa attempting to locate
. A, E. Miner, the supposed leader of the
gang of bandits who held up the O. R. A
N. near Corbctts last September 23. The
. apprehension of Penning, aaother sus
pect, la also included in me account.
. There are several Items on the bill
Which Auditor Brandes does not under

Brandes objects. Sheriff Storey la

pleases in the auditor's office, and I de
mand the same privilege as sheriff. Ha
just simply wanted to give, me a alap

matter of fact, the amount of my bill
does not represent half of the actual
expenditures in connection with my trip.
There were a great many thing that 1
didn't cut In.

Small, 17 years of age, a beautiful girl
of Oswego, walked the streets of Spo
kane penniless last nlaht. ' Thla waa
the end of a two-weeks' search through
Portland, Seattle and Tacoma for her
mother, who eloped from home with a
half-breed Indian named Frank Stlca on
August II.
Care-worn, hungry and heart-troken,
the young girl waa found last night a
aha stood In tha ahadow of the Spokane
theatre, hoping that her mother might
be among the home-going crowd, who
had attended the performance. The un
successful vigil ended with tha girl in
tears, and to a correspondent for The
Journal. Miss Small said:
Mama became Infatuated with Stlre,
who had shot up the town two or three
times, and who had the fame of a dare
devil. She left papa and tha children
and want away with him. The children
cried and I made up my mind to set out
in aearch and get her to go back home.
Papa raised all tha money he could to
pay my expenses.
"I first went to Portland and found
hat mama and Stlce had gone tn the
home of a Mrs. Heater. They left be
fore I cot there, and I was told they
went to Seattle. I followed, but got

Tacoma 1 came to Spokane, getting hera

mama might visit the department stores

A Jury empaneled by Coroner Finley
to inquire Into the death of Adolph A.
Burkhardt, who was shot near Bertha
late Saturday night, returned a verdict
yesterday that the rifle from which the
fatal bullet waa fired was held in the
hands of Samuel Baumann.
Three Important witnesses were exam'
lned and by the questions of Ed Menden
hall, the attorney for Baumann,' it can
easily be Inferred that the theory of the
defenae is that Baumann fired simply
to frighten away the Halloween merry.
makers who had been bothering- htm.
It will be claimed that the fatal shot
was accidental. Deputy District Attor
ney H. B. Adams conducted the examina
tion for the state.
The Jury Inquired simply Into the cause
of death and did not attempt to delve into
the motives for the shooting. The con
tentlon of the state will be that Bau
mann deliberately fired intending to kill
one of the Hayward boys. This theory
Is borne out by Harry Fuller, Burk-
hardt's companion, and the only witness
of the murder. -According to his state
ment both shots were carefully aimed.
Fuller waa the first witness before the
Jury and he said the first shot was fired
at 100 yards and came near his head.
The second struck Burkhardt aa they
were retreating.
Fuller claimed to have recognized
Baumann at 100 yards but this was con
tradicted by H. D. HayWard, to whose
house the young men were going. He
said no one could have been recognized
at 25 yards that night Hayward in
formed Baumann about Burkhardfs
death and Baumann is said to have re
plied that he didn't care because some
one had tried to kill his dog. Hayward
heard about 85 shots on the night in
question, of Which 12 or 15 were from a
rifle.
Mrs. Baumann testified that she and
her husband retired at 9 o'clock and soon
the shooting began. Her husband feared
the stock would be killed. Arming him
self with his rifle he went out to the
barn and fired twice into the brush. He
was not aware anyone had been hit until
Hayward informed them that Burkhardt
was killed. She said it was too dark to
see her husband when he stood firing at
the barn.
The post mortem ' examination .was
made by Dr. Tllzer who explained to
the Jury that the bullet evidently en
tered from behind and penetrated
through the upper part of the body.
Death was caused by hemorrhage of the
lungs.
It Is probable that a charge "of murder
in the first degree will be filed against
Baumann, who gave himself up after
the shooting. He is now In the county
Jail. The funeral of Burkhardt, who
was only 19 years of age, will take place
from St. Francis church tomorrow morning.

up."
When asked for their side of the
story Fahle and -Hurlburt said that they
had nothing to say. They didn't want
to get Into the papers and the entire
affair was very trivial, anyhow. '
Fahle Is well known in certain local
circles. He is a property holder and
has the reputation of being a bad man
at tlmea. He ia said to have previously
been mixed In fights of this kind. Hurl
burt also has been a participant in rows,
one of the last being with Sammy Vig

baseball team.

STOLE A TUG BUT
FIRE WON THE GAME
Eureka, Cal., Nov. S.--Four young
men Herman Briggs, William Heap,
Ray Lahne and Owen Sawyer last
night robbed a man on the waterfront
of) his watch and money. Early this
morning they stole the tua- Peerlees
and started to sea. They run seven
miles out. The boat caught fire, as there
was a lack of water for the engines.
The tug was b&dly burned and she was
beached in the harbor, only the hull
being saved. The four men were gr-

Oscar Mattsonj bound over to the cir

Hogue for malicious destruction of prop

committed to the asylum at Salem by
Justice of the Peace Seton. The exam
ination waa by Assistant City Physician
Slocum. ,
Mattson was before the. probate court
last Wednesday as . Insane, but Judge
Seton and Dr. Slocum thought that, he
waa not seriously unbalanced and he
was allowed his freedom. '
, Friday afternoon he turned up at the
residence of G. Heitkemper, East Twen
ty-ninth and ) Davis streets, ' where 1 he
played havoc with various personal, ef
fects. Ha was then arrested and bound
over to the circuit court but it 'was de
cided not to prosecute him.
At thetime the cable was very wet, and
forgetting the danger he walked into the
street pulling the lamp up by the cable
until it came into contact with the high

power for all the lights on the circuit.

Instantly shocked by at least 2,000 volts

such a complete circuit that there was
no escape for the unfortunate man. - The

The street sign ordinance, carrying
with it an appropriation of $4,000, or
such part of that sum as may be neces
sary, is to be returned by the street
committee at the city council session
tomorrow, and will in all probability
become a law. The chairman of the
street committee has assured Mayor
Williams that the proposed measure
would be acted upon In time for tomor
row's council session.
"The only question 'which has re-
tarded the measure' heretofore," . said
Mayor Williams today, "has been the
belief that there were not available
funds to warrant such a'n appropriation.
However, we are assured by City Au
ditor Devlin that the treasury Js amply
supplied for the expenditure contem
plated and under those circumstances I
believe the measure will pass.
I am in favor of new street signs:
have always been so, and have used my
influence in council meetings to bring
the matter to a successful issue, I cer
tainly hope to see It become a- law, and
then the signs will be placed In position
as soon as the bids can be advertised
and the contract awarded." ,-
There has been some diverse opinion
as to the best manner and 'System of
acquiring new street signs. Council
man Flegel has advocated compelling
the comer lota to pay for the signs,
but the majority do not favor tha sug
gestion, holding that the plan lav not
practical as is the one proposed. iThey
believe rather that the city is in duty
Douna to pay the cost of new signs,
"It would be far more advantageous,"
aaya one councilman, "for it would be
more bothr than it is worth to make
the property-owners put up the signs.
There would be no uniformity in . the
work, and several might contest such an
order." v- -.v
"Certainly, the city .should put up the.
signs," said Mayor Williams. "It would ,
save lots of trouble and worry, and we v
could be Insured of a uniformity and re
duced cost, owing to competition, which
would be highly desirable." .
