When its so awruly dark?CAN'T FORRIOT IN HIS DIVETheli fight yesterday afternoon in Frank Bruno’s notorious palm garden turned out to be more serious than was indicated on the first arrival of the police following a riot call When the police reached the place Peter Switzer, bleeding from gashes in his head that were inflicted by an ice pick in the hands of Joe Barbato, the bartender, was the only injured one found. He had been pounded out of the saloon by the bartender, and fell unconscious upon the sidewalk.Later L. U. Trent, of 2001 Cannon street, went to police headquarters and informed the officers more fully of the trouble. He had been thumped over the head with the ice pick but escaped without serious injury. After him came W. Peters of 2240 Cedar street w’ith his arm in a sling. He had been struck at. warded the blow off his head with his arm and so badly injured that member that it was useless. One of the sharp points of the ice pick penetrated the fleshy part of the arm.The cause of the trouble was an Italian woman who had been drinking with various groups of men. As nearly as the police can find out Barbato was jealous and went into a rage, dashed out from behind the bar and began to swing the heavy ice pick at everyone in sight.He pleaded not guilty when arraigned before Justice Hinkle this morning and was released on a $750 bond which Frank Bruno, his employer, furnished. The preliminary hearing on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon has been set for Saturday morning.Within a short period a woman has been stabbed, a man beaten so that he is now in the asylum, in this same resort. Another victim w’as found in the alley.Less serious offenses by far have caused revocation of saloon licenses, but Bruno is immune. Chief Rice says he will not attempt to close the place, although it is the resort of the toughest element in town.HOT FIGHT EXP2CTED.Tmake them withqut paying blackmail, foreign capitalists’ agei^s are today literally stampeding Constant tinople.The sultan’s realm is considered by Europe the least developed land on earth, and the opportunity of reaping enormous returns are deemed bright.U. S. TO AID ITSHeads of the different departments of the postal service in Spokane have received blanks and instructions to report all accidents of employes sustained while on duty. Reports are also to be made when the injured employe returns to work on when a death occurs from an accident either immediately or before the lapse of one year. All accidents that have occurred since August 1, 1908, are also to be reported.These statistics are being kept at the request of the bureau of commerce and labor, which is aiming to secure a report on accidents to all civilian employes of the government for a period of one year.On May 30, 1908, congress passed an act which became effective August 1, 1908, granting to certain employes of the United States the right to receive from the government compensation for injuries sustained in the course of their employment.The classes of employes covered by this act are artisans and laborers in arsenals, navy yards, rivers and harbor construction, government manufacturing establishments, etc. The only persons connected with the postoffice department or the postal service who come within the scope of the act are employes in the mail bag repair shop and the mail lock repair shop.A measure making an appropriation for the relief of all civilian employes injured while on dutywill fnllnw flip nnninilntinn nf
