The first issue of the Argus un-
der its new ownership came to
hand Tuesday. Col. W. H. Rob-
inson, r. d. Hoskins, and ]. c.
Warnock are the incorporators,
which means that the enterprise
will not lack for money to make
every needed improvement in ser
vice. Col. Warnock, the late
publisher of the jamestown Capt.
tai, is a vigorous writer and will
have charge of the editorial col
umns. The Argus has the field
to become the best morning pa
per west of the Twin Cities and
the PRESS hopes to see it become
such.

ALBANY's ESCAPE.

Whether the early missionary training
of Miss Ah Wing has been allowed to
lapse, or that the Chinese maiden's 8
spirits were elevated to such a pitch that
coupled with her name, she felt equal to
the task of speeding to Albany, Or,
handicapped with eight cans of opium,
was not divulged before United States
Commissioner Woodward this morning,
when Miss Wing and her aceomplice, a
Ohinaman OF the highbinder type, were
arraigned for examination on the charge
OF smuggling.
This morning Customs Inspectors
Church and krieger, stationed at the
union depot, while keeping an official
eye on the $3.50 soutl-bouGd train, had
their attention attracted to a young, good
looking China-woman whose semi Amer
leanlzef dress named her as graduate
IRON some mission school, Following at
some distance behind the woman was a
Chinaman carrying satchel. The wo-
man on reaching the ticket office pur-
chased two fares for Albany, then maxi
irg close scrutiny of the male bys.and-
ers and evidently assuring herself the
coast was clear she signalled for the
Ohinaman with the satchel TO come on,
she going in advance and boarding the
train.
The satchel got no further than the
train gate, where it was taken in charge
by Church and krieger, its carrier set
ting up loud wall in Chinese. While
the inspectors were endeavoring to open
the locked valise, Miss All Wing Joined
the party, and in English demanded to
know by what right The officers had to
interfere with her servant. The in-
spectors disclaimed any intention of in
teriering providing the contents of the
satchel were all right, and requested the
mission graduate 10 open il. This she
reused 10 do until the officers prepared
to cut he valise open. Miss All Wing
then reluctantly produced the KEY, the
contents OF the saichel proving to lie eight
cans sofuns,ampad of op,um The man and
woman were placed under arres, and
taken before Commissioner WoodW ard,
Attorney George Stout representing the
prisoners ai.d demanding an immediate
exanIication. The only testimony Of
Tered was that of Miss Wing, who said
she had been given tie opium by white
man OF whose identity she was unaware.
The Chlnaman refused 10 have anything
to say, evidently depending on the SUI
perior linguistic OF Miss Wing Both
were held in 500 cash bonds, which the
woman Immediately furnished. Her
companion, however, was unable 10 se-
cure bail and was sent to the county {ail.
