ity and Desertion.
Ella Sapp brought suit yesterday in the
superior court for divorce from Lindsey
sapp. on the ground of adultery with a
woman whose name is not made known.
Her complaint sets out that he is the
owner of the Cactus saloon, at 022 Front
street, whose furniture and fixtures are
valued at So, 500, with mortgage of 81, $50.
II alleges further that he is taking in 81 900

allow her $500 to carry on the suit and for
$50 alimony month pending the suit. In
addition to decree of divorce she wants
half of the property.
Mrs. Sapp is the woman who on the
night of May % created quite a sensation
at the Brooklyn lodging house, at the
corner of Second and University streets.
On that occasion she played detective with
view of confirming her suspicious of her
husbands guilty conduct, and smashed in

and that Trounce stand committed to Jail

E. +. Blaine appeared for the motion
and Reid, Heilig & Hartman against it,
and arguments were made at length.
Judge Lichtenberg granted the writ, Civ.
ing as one of his grounds that the affidavit
upon which the order citing Trounce to
appear was irregular and defective. As a
second and principal ground for his rul-
ing he held that the warrant for the arrest
was only warrant to imprison Trounce
for debt. and that this was against the
state constitution. No fine had been pro-
nounced against him-only a judgment in
favor Of the relator, Timm, and for at

Trounce will appeal to the supreme
court from the findings of the superior

amount In 1t, was stolen early Yesterday
morning by some unknown person.
About O'Clock in the morning a mer-
chants patrolman notified julius Redels-
heimer, the manager of the store, that the
Jar OF money had been stolen. Mr.. Redels-
heimer Immediately went to the store and
examined the place. He found in the
window a chisel and screw driver
marked with the name II. L.
Mosher, the cage which had enclosed
the jar pried open and the jar itself gone.
Accompanied by Detective Cudihee. he
went in search Of Mosher and found him
at his home on Stewart street. They took
him to Poole's carpenter shop on West
near Columbia street, where he worked.
and search showed that his chisel and
screw driver were gone. A man must
have broken in about o'clock on Friday
afternoon and taken them, as there was
hole in the wall at that time through
which he could have crawled, and it was
closed soon afterwards.
From the appearance of the transom at
the store it is probable that the thief
climbed in and out over it. 1t appears to
have been dragged downward at one cor
ner by some weight, and this effect would
be produced by man hanging to it. A
step-ladder standing just inside the door
seems TO have been used in climbing up to
get out and the dust is rubbed off the outer
side of the transom, indicating that some
person slipped down over it. The mer-
chants patrolman saw the vase in its
place at $3.50 o'clock in the morning SO
that it Is probable that the robbery was
committed about o'clock, when the po-
lice patrol is changed.

King county was heard last night by

visement. Bowman brought the action to
compel the county to stop interfering with
him in the uses to which he had put GER

for years, and that the county, through
Its agents, has trespassed by building a
road across his property.

ton and Prosecuting Attorney Miller
against it. After long argument the court
took the matter under advisement.

OLD RELIC BURNED.
The Barrel Factory Makes q
Fire to Warm Swimmers.
ONE OF THE EARLY INDUSTRIES.
After Twelve Years Idleness 1t Goes Up
In Smoke, Burned by Reckless
Boys-Its Early History.

The old barrel factory. which has for
more than fifteen years stood on Water
street, between Eagle and Lake streets.
was burned yesterday. The property was
valued at 5000, and was not insured.
The fire was started by boys ranging in
age from 8 to II years, who wanted to
warm themselves after swimming near the
factory in the almost icy cold water of the
harbor. They built FIRE in the largest of
the three factory buildings, and were
enjoying themselves immensely when
they suddenly discovered that
the floor was ablaze. In few minutes
the flames mounted the wall to the CELL
ing, and the boys, finding they could not
put the fire out, fled incontinenty.
fire alarm was turned in from box 81.
corner of Front and Cedar streets. at 8
O'Clock. and though the department arrived
on the ground promptly it could not save
the two principal buildings. A large
storehouse not far from the largest build
ing, did not burn. The fire boat was early
on hand, but did not get to work for nearly
half an hour, as she had to wait for the
hose cart and hose. and even then the
hose burst three different times. Thus
the boat was utterly useless.
The burning factory gave out great
deal of smoke. the buildings being as dry
as finder. 1t seemed as though several
blocks were on fire, and Superintendent
Kline, of the Seattle. Lake Shore & East
ern railway, fearing the railroad trestle
was on fire, went to the scene with his
whole Office force. There was no need,
however, of the clerks turning firemen.
The barrel factory has long stood as a
monument to the first industry of moment
ever undertaken in Seattle. About fifteen
years ago Louis Sohns, of Vancouver, A.
A. Denny, J. J. McGilvra and number of
other local capitalists organized COM
pany for the erection of the factory, in
tending to supply not only the Sound
