NOT A BURGLAR, BUT HIS FRIEND.
Everson's Midnight Fight Suddenly As
aumes n New Phaae.

E. W. Stevens, a miner, was arrested yestcr-
day morning By Capt. Sims on suspicion of
being the man who had the encounter with c.
Evcrson in his room at the Milton house early
yesterday morning. Stevens answered the de-
scription given in every particular, but was
released in the afternoon on the affidavit of
Evcrson that he was not the man. Everson was
very anxious to get Stevens out, and said that
he would put up 81 900 if necessary. 1t appears
that the accused is q special friend of Everson
and was with him the night Of the struggle. aud
in fact Everson was paying his way.
The police believe that they have the right
man, and on account of the new turn in affairs,
are inclined to think that q fight occurred in
Everson's room, but that it did not arise in the
way he says. According to their theory Ever
son took Stevens home and they quarreled. In
the fight Everson fred a shot and Stevens ran.
Then Everson, thinking that he might have hit
the man, concluded to say that a burglar was
under his bed and had attacked him. In sup
port of this theory they put forth the facts that
Stevens wore Il black hat the night OF the fight,
and when arrested had a white one. He also
told q man, they say, that he had had a fight
and expected to be arrested. 1t is not probable
that the case will be taken up again, as Everson
leaves the city this morning for Peru.

and besides it has an everyday
use that is practical.
Naturally you will want to
select table linens where the
largest and finest stock is
carried. This will bring you d.
rectly to the Big Store.
The linen stock is full of
interesting inducements to
holiday shoppers.
Or, if you think that table
linens won't do. try a silk dress
pattern or a black suit.
Either will please and every
woman will appreciate them.
For these, also, the Big
Store has unusual advantages
for you. The selection of silks
and black dress goods is the
largest in the Northwest and
the prices by far the most
reasonable
Men always look at the value
of a present-they invariably
'1ook a gift horse in the
mouth"-and appreciate it in
proportion to its actual worth.
They want something that has
quality for its foundation.
Therefore in buying presents
for them you should seek for
things that are useful and of
good quality-and this by no
means refers to costly articles.
Come to our mems depart
ments for goods of known
quality at small prices.
A magnificent display of
holiday goods is now being
made.
