Rough Fellow Seeks Tobacco From .
Judge on the Bench.
A rough ill-kempt fellow, with his hat
upon his head, went up to Judge Lichten-
berg in open court on Tuesday and said:
Judge, give US chaw of the weed"
His honor was so astonished that for q
moment he sat speechless, but recovering
himself the judge said:
"My good man, the county does not sup
ply tobacco for men who attend court"
Not whit abashed the man sauntered
about the room, still keeping his hat upon
his head.
"Bailif, remove that mans hat" stern
ly Numbered his honor. The hat then
came off, the man apparently not realizing
how deep an offense he had committed
against courtroom dignity.
'If I had not thought the man ex-
cessively ignorant 1 should have given
him a taste of the Jail below" said the
judge, after court had adjourned.

Tnre0 Tough negroes Arrested Tor
Stealing 500 in . Dive.
Jane Jackson, a colored resident of
Whitechapel, Sid Jackson, her lover, and
Joe Humphrey, also colored, were arrested
yesterday morning upon charge of grand
larceny. The woman is accused of steal
ing 500 from German laborer named s.
Dahl, whom she lured into her den. Dahl,
accompanied by Officers Powers and Glass
cock, went before Prosecuting Attorney
Miller yesterday afternoon and lodged
complaint against the three prisoners, who
will be given hearing today before Justice
Won Tobel.
About 10 o'clock Tuesday night Dahl,
who recently arrived in the city from Spo-
kne, went into the Dove saloon on King
street. A dance, in which several negro
women with dusky partners were giving
Southern ''hoe-down," was in progress
in a room adjoining the saloon.
One of the female dancers, Jane Jackson,
gave her attention to Dahl and induced
him to accompany her to room over the
Blue Front saloon, which is located across
the street from the Dove. Dahl accom-
panied her and bought several drinks of
beer. When he was about to leave the
place he suddenly discovered that he had
been robbed of two checks for $500 each on
the Spokane Savings bank, time check
on the Great Northern railroad for $3.50
and about $50 in money. He demand
ed the money, but the woman claimed to
be innocent of robbing him. He imme-
diately summoned Officers Powers and
Glasscock, but before the policemen ar
rived the woman had left the premises.
She was traced to the Washburn lodging
house. and was found in company with
Sid Jackson. The pair were taken to po-
lice headquarters. but the money could not
be found. The officers learned that about
five minutes after the robbery the woman
was seen in company with Humphrey. and
the latter was arrested and searched, but
the money was not on his person. All
three were locked up.
Humphrey was arrested by Officer Pow.
ers several days ago upon a charge of va
grancy, but was discharged from custody
after hearing before Judge Rivers. He
swore that he was conducting a lunch
counter in Clancy & Burns saloon on
Jackson street. The police declare that
they can prove him guilty of perjury in
swearing to this statement.

A VICTIM OF THE GORGE DISASTER.

Body Lodged Between Logs. Terribly
Mutilated and Decomposed.
Coroner Horton returned yesterday from
Canton, where he was called to investigate
the death of man found in Green river,
near where the disastrous landslide &C.
Cured last December.
He said that the body was in the last
stages of decomposition, which precluded
the possibility of Identification. 1t was
lodged between two logs, and the head
having been caught by knot, it was kept
from slipping away and being carried down
the stream. Every vestige of clothing
was gone and the only personal property
left was the boots, which the water and
rocks had failed to tear away. The flesh
was gone from the right arm and the face
was without form. The body was bruised
about the abdomen, where it had evidently
come in contact with sharp rocks. The
man was large and weighed about $50
pounds. and his hair was probably dark.
The boots were coarse and evidently those
of workingman.
The coroner was of the opinion that the
remains were those of one of the men
killed in the Eagle gorge disaster.

EMPTYING THE CRIBS.
Chief Jackson'S Work of AbOl-
ishing Whitechapel.
SCATTERING ITS OCCUPANTS.
Hs VIII Drive Them All Outfits Plans
n to Lodging Houses-One Of
Rogers Proposals Adopted.

The raid upon Whitechapel was not con-
tinued yesterday. The women who have
been living in the Jackson and King street
cribs took warning and left their abodes
and scattered all over the city. Chief
Jackson says he will not permit women to
again occupy the cribs while he is chief.
If necessary he will station policemen at
the entrances of the alleys on which cribs
front and will give orders for the arrest of
all women found occupying cribs and o
all men who visit them. He declares that
the cleaning out of Whitechapel, so far as
the occupancy of the cribs by women is
concerned, will continue as leng as he is
chief
For the present the Whitechapel lodging-
houses will not be molested. When aues-
toned as to his intention with regard to
enforcing the law against them, the chief
declined to talk This is my initial step
at cleaning out Whitechapel," said he. 81
cannot tell what the future will bring
forth"
Today the chief will notify the keepers
OF lodging-houses in the northern portion
of the city that disorderly women will not
be permitted to live in any part of town
except that portion south of Yesler ave-
nue.. "Street-walkers." he says, Twill be
ARRESTED on sight"
Out OF the twenty-five women arrested
in the RAID on Tuesday. sixteen pleaded
guilty yesterday morning to being dis
orderly persons, and Judge Rivers fined
them $25 each. Fourteen paid fines, and
two, who could not raise the necessary
amount, went to Jail. The six Japanese
women who were arrested in Jackson
alley, pleaded not guilty to the charge pre-
ferred against them, and will be given
hearing today in the municipal court.
Chief Jackson will either today or to-
morrow issue an order calling in the stars
of all special policemen. The chief says
he has not the first idea how MANY special
stars are out; but he declares that he is
not in favor of allowing any individuals
to exercise police authority except such as
are controlled and regulated by him as
chief. He wants to know what his men
are doing. He says after the stars are
called in he will make special appoint
ments where it appears necessary.
This movement against the issue of stars
to special policemen is not original with
Chief Jackson. In his report to the police
commission for the year ending December
81, 1891, Chief Rogers made the suggestion:
That the present system of giving special
police authority to private watchmen and in
diyiduals be entirely abolished, and that if any
individual or corporation needs the services of
warchman with police authority, such watch
man be furnished from the police department,
and that he be q regularly constituted police
officer, and that the individual o. corporation
requiring such services pay into the city
treasury, on the frat of each month, q sum
equivalent to the pay OF patrolman for such
services as are required.

yesterday from William Dennis to whom
she was married ON April IL, 1875. in Kit

defendant had committed the first offense
at the Brunswick Hotel in November, 1890,
and that he had continued in this course
ever since. The court adjudged that real
estate of the value of So, 900 be equally
divided between the parties to the suit.
The plaintiff is 81 years of age. The de-
PENDANT did not deny the allegation of
adultery, but fought that part of the petit
ton which sought to secure division of
his property.
