MABIE HEIRS NoN-sUITED.-The
case of A. E. Mabie ct al. vs.. L. c.
Whitaker. which was non-suited by
Judge Pritchard last week, is worthy
OF more than passing notice. Whit
aker was an innocent purchaser, being
the fourth party to hold title to the
property involved. The suit was
brought by the heirs of Mrs. Maybe to
recover 1900 acres of land situated in
this county. The question of com
munity right was argued to a great
extent by able attorneys on both sides
and the case will probably be carried
to the Supreme Court.

outcome of family trouble of long
standing, in which White persistently

most rigid investigation. Chief oil
Police Snyder was asked to explain
why this was the case, and gives most
excellent reasons for it. He says his
method of dealing with the tramp ele.
ment is in striking contrast with that
of other towns. As soon as any of the
hobos arrive in town he Immediately
locks them up and keeps them con-
fined for from ten to fifteen hours and
purposely omits feeding them. This
touches the tramp on q tender spot,
as he does not mind imprisonment so
long as his food comes regularly.
When released he is ordered out of
town and in every case he is glad to

not cost the city . cent for board OF
tramps. A constable from Puyallup
was in the city last week and told the
Chief that it had cost that city over
$40 month for this very purpose for
a long time past, but that he would
advise the authorities to adopt the
Olympia plan in the future.

mer engagements in this city, has be-

goers. Last season, with his other
comedy creations, he succeeded in

with the majority of farcical plays.
The comedy is in three acts and is
said to be built on the funniest lines
imaginable. Mr.. Kelly is acknowl-
edged to be one Of the most legitimate
