Comes now the enemies of the
Thorn Hollow s-pilngs with the thin
ly veiled accusation that the board of
water commissioners of the city is a
body of g-r:iru :s. it is cited that the

charge the consumers twenty-five
cents per thousand gallons, v.n, this.
Is the basis of their insinuations of
existing dishonesty, wherefore it Is
urged that the books of. tho com
mission be experted.
The rmyi who ordered such Insin
uations to be drawn up and published
was well aware of his own dishon
esty in so doing He knew that trie
water commission before making its
annual report lias always had its
books experted. He knew that this
expertlng work has been done by E.
K. Cranston, J. T. Lambirth and
Richard Mayberry, all of whom are
connected with local banks. He
knew, furthermore, what disposition

jed from consumers at twenty-five

I above one cent per thousand paid to

a farmer, who lived four miles east
of Colville, was thrown from a wa-
gonload of lumber which he was
hauling from White Mud lnke to this
city and instantly killed. Ills neck
was broken. Mrs. Ilevere, who wit
nessed the accident from her front
porch, says the team was apparently
unable to hold the loaded wagon on
the steep incline of Munson hill and
started to run. The driver, evidently
fearing an accident at the turn of the
road, attempted to leap to the ground

head. The team and wagon safely
reached the bottom of the hill and

wife whom he married ahout six
weeks ago and a father and brother
who live here. '
