Today I've transcribed a new section of the Diary of Miss Kitty May Ellis and in this section she relates an interesting story from the 1883/4 time period of Spokane Falls and Colville which includes:
1) Mr Adam Boyd
2) Mr Havermill the millowner
3) Mr John U Hofstetter
4) and the "new Fort Spokane"

I thought readers of this board might be interested in this pioneer story
