SHIRLEY DARE.s TROUBLEs.
The Widely Known Writer Involved
with Her Undutiful Son.

with Her Undutiful Son.
Shirley Dare, the widely known writer,
was arrested in New York recently on Q
warrant sworn out by her son charging
her with purioining manuscript The
matter was settled in the court room by
Mrs. Power Shirley Dare il her pen
name), her son and his lawyer, before the
matter came to trial.
During the last year Mrs. Power had nd
yaneed money TO her son to start The
Hoasecife, of which publication she has
acted as editor. Disputes have been fro
quent on matters of management, the son,
a youth OF y years, having small respect
for his mothers opinion. The manuscript
in question she took TO return to the
writer. proceeding which came strictly
within her editorial duties.
The story is pitifui one. The Shirley
Dare letters, which have been printed
everywhere, were bright and good-.em-
pered always. They seemed to be written
TO promote health and happiness. The
spirit of cheerfulness pervaded them.
They treated Of housekeeping and dress
and complexion, OF all the matters women
are interested in. But Shirley Dare her
self was a careworn woman. Her husband
was insane, and this son, Andrew Power,
has kept her in fear of her life since he was
10 years old on account of his I'M
governabie temper. When he was q
boy physicians advised her to send
him to an asylum, but the
poor mother hoped he would out
grow his insanity. So for twenty years
she worked for and watched over him.
He has abused her, has beaten her, has
failed to pay her salary and now has
dragged her trouble into the courts, hav.
ing already made away with what prop
erty she was able to accumulate.
After Mrs. Power left the court room
she went with q lawyer to the Office of The
Housewife TO secure some private papers
which we're IN her desk. Young Power
assaulted the lawyer. for which he was
placed under arrest. so that the end Of the
case has not yet been reached.

WHATcoM. Feb. 16.-ISpecial.l Accord

county treasurer, Whatcom county has
credit OF little over $1,000 in the sus-
pended Puget Sound Loan and Trust
Company bank. The September report
gave the county credit there of over
$1,000. The late report does not account
for the difference, but it is supposed to Be
due to the settlement of some personal
obligations Of the treasurer. with the
knowledge and consent Of the commits
sioners. That the matter is all straight is
not doubted. The Rereale this corning says
that the PosT-INTELLIeEScEn correspond

never reopen again. and prefers that tho
