arrest had been issued by Justice Van vslken-
burg of the same district, at the instance Of
Lafayette p Hoage.
They were not fugitives from justice, and had
come to Seattle by the usual mode OF travel to
embark In the butcher business. They were
kept In the county jail until July 10, when they
sued out writs of hsbeas corpus, aud
had hearing before Judge Osborn.
In the meantime the constable appeared with
the warrants for their arrest and they were re-
manded 10 jail On June IL they were taken
from Jail In irons 10 Sumas, where they were
tried before Justice Van Valkenburg and ae-
Quilted.
They assert that Hoage's complaint and All
davit against them was made without probable
canse, in bad faith and with malice sfore-
thought and to force them TO pay q contract

and degraded in the eyes of the public aud their

Al the time the plaintiffs interposed no objec-
ton, but yesterday they fled motion for the
reinstatement OF the case In the superior court
The defendants hled an objection to the hearing
OF the motion by the superior court on the
ground that it had lost Jurisdiction. The objec-
ton was argued on behalf OF the Oregon I'm
provement Company by Colonel J. c. Haines

Colonel Haines argued that the superior court
had Lost jurisdiction OF the cause by the transfer
20 the United States circuit court, which now
has the sole and exclusive Jurisdiction, and
based his claim on the records OF the superior
court prior TO and including the order entered
by that court ordering the removal TO the United
States court.
Mr.. Lewis held that inasmuch a. the torss OF
the guards were in violation of state laws, that
the state courts should have jurisdiction, and
cited several authorities In support of his posi-
ton One OF these decisions was handed down
by Judge Hanford, Of the United States circuit
court, to which the cause was transferred.
In passing upon the disputed point Judge
Litchenberg said that. although he thought the
law well fixed. that cases of this kind should be
tried In the state courts. the cause from the mo-
ment he had signed the order OF removal, passed
under the Jurisdiction of the United States
court, and any motion for its re- transfer should
be brought in that court He was confident,
however. that such a motion would result In
the cause being remanded to the superior court.

outing flannel business bob up
and down with the thermome-
ter yesterday. To use CONNER
cial phrasing, "the demand was
extra brisk, induced by the un-
usually fair prices and excellent
quality of the offerings"
With the first intimations Of
genial days down come the
flannel suitings from the shelves.
When we talk about outing
f1annels we speak knowingly.
First there's the quantity to
back up our assertions, next
the qualities, then the selection,
and best Of all the just exactly
right prices. What better adj
vantages could the flannel pur-
chaser want.
First take the aristocratic
hannels, the French kind, d.
rectly imported, with their
wealth of warm colors, odd
combinations of stripes and the
very acme of perfect weaving.
Their first cost is greater than
the others, but you are paid it
back with interest in satisfac-
tory wear.
Here's a special lot of fam
nels at soc a yard. Perfect in
quality, and some of the pat
terms exquisite, others trihe
pronounced. Same goods have
been sold at 75c a yard.
Go right through the range
of outing hannels, feel all their
elegant qualities and learn the
prices.
Here come the flannelettes
"a regiment of them-as per-
feet in patterns and effects as
their proud half-brother the
French kind.
Flannelettes to suit all your
tastes and your purse.
Some at IL Hc yard, soma
at I5c, at I6 25c and up.
A particularly bright one at
soc, just one-quarter of the old
price taken away-they were
4oc. See them.
We have had the gingham
trade in a whirl of excitement
the month past. Have said
very little about it lately, but
the rush has shown no signs Of
abating.
This is something we have
confidence in recommending.
A lot of Johnson ginghams-
the very best American sort
reduced from zoe to I5c a yard.
An additional advantage
added to the plain Greylock
suitings. They were ID yards
for 81, now they are Is yards
for the 81. The original price
was 10 yards for 81.
In the third window from
corner where the display of
ladies' shoes is made, there is a
novelty in the way of low
shoes. Look in and see the
ones with the gold toe tips.
