Spokane History Note Recalls Two Unusual Incidents
On this day in history, Spokane experienced two notable events: an "attack on porn" and an incident where deputies fired at bootleggers unloading a coal car filled with alcohol.

Spokane, WA, October 22, 2026 —
A brief historical account of Spokane recalls two separate incidents: what it describes as an “attack on porn” and an encounter in which deputies fired at bootleggers unloading a coal car filled with alcohol.
The account provides no date for either event and does not explain what the phrase “attack on porn” refers to. It also does not identify the deputies or bootleggers, say where in Spokane the events occurred, or describe what happened after the shots were fired. The number of people involved and whether anyone was injured are not specified.
The two incidents are presented together as notable events from this day in Spokane history, but the available description does not establish whether they occurred on the same date or were connected. It offers no further details about the coal car, the alcohol, or the circumstances surrounding the alleged bootlegging.
Without additional documentation, the account supports only a limited description of the events. It does not provide information about the source of the historical record, the meaning of its wording, or any subsequent legal or official response. Those details remain unprovided, so the incidents cannot be described more fully based on the information available.
The recollection therefore points to two episodes while leaving key questions unanswered: when they took place, what prompted the reported attack, and how the confrontation involving deputies and bootleggers concluded. No further context is included in the account.
