tle insurance. A whole block Of

quence. Fruit in Eastern Washing
ton has also been fatally touched by
cold. The prospects of the earlier

yield this year have been destroyed
in many localities, and hundreds Of
individuals who have already been
worrying over the problem OF what
they should do with their fruit this
dull year, now need worry no lon-
ger.
+ A man named J. g. Livsnsparger,
accompanied by his wife and child,
arrived in Portland from Wisconsin
few days ago. Unfortunately for
him, he fell in with an oily-tongued
confidence man named J. j. Harlan
with two or three aliases. Harlan
accompanied him to Tacoma, and
roped him into brace game, where
he lost about $3.50 in money and al
his jeweiry, including gold watch
aud chain. Harlan then brough,
his victim to Seattle, gave him 81,
and left him to work out his own cal
vation in sackcloth and ashes. It is
strange that men of ordinary intelli-
gencs are still to be found who will
permit themselves TO be robbed by
these smooth bunko sharps.
