GETTING OUT OF DEBT.

Over $4,000 Of Mortgages Paid Since
September.
The record of mortgages released in
Latah county during December
showed that fully $4,000 of mortgage
indebtedness had been discharged. 1t
is estimated that fully $4,000 of
mortgages had been paid during the
six months from July to January. The
records in the auditors office for the
month just closed show that Sc mort
cages have been released as compared
with 81 in December. In 43 the
amounts are given amounting to $37,
745.lG. In the opinion of those com
petent to judge the 10, whose amounts
were not given, will average at least
$500 each, giving total of over $45,-
600. AS in the preceding month there
are doubtless enough mortgages that
have been released and not yet record
ed to bring the amount up to $4,000,
A representative of one of the most
prominent mortgage companies, who
has been in this section for a number
of years, states that the estimate of
$4,000 for the last six months Of 1897
will probably fall below the actual
figures. With a considerable portion
OF the wheat crop still unsold it does
not seem an exaggerated estimate to
put the amount of mortgages that will
have been paid in the following July
l, 1897, at from $25O,OOO to $3OOOOO.-

AT THE THEATER

THE LOS ANGELES.-The advertised
"Passion Play" depicted last night turned
out to be no play at all, but reproduction
by means of the biograph of scenes in a
"Passion Play" as given by certain simple
peasants" residing in an Austrian village
with an unpronounceable name.
Interspersed with these scenes were copies
of celebrated pictures which had nothing
to do with the ''simple peasants aforesaid,
being, of course, infinitely superior to their
crude attempts at realism.
The entertainment was begun with a re-
petition of the moving pictures Of United
States batteships and of the immortal Cali
fornia Seventh, which were shown a few
weeks ago. 1t was further embelished with
some singing of religious airs that gave a
ehurchly and aesthetic flavor to what would
otherwise have been a somewhat common.

Keen, with whom she had not lived long
before she received letter from woman
which proved Keen to have been a married
man at the time he went through the cere-
mony with her. She left him Immediately
and went to Sacramento. Keen followed
her and by threats to herself and child kept
her in a constant state of fear. It was at
this time that through mutual friend she
met John Hancock, who then went by the
name of benson, and who posed as bene-
factor. After few weeks acquaintance she
accepted an offer to keep house for him for
$40 a month, the arrangement finally terml-
Mating in her becoming his mistress.
"How could you live with such brute!"
l asked her.
Il don't know myself" she replied. "He
had a terrible influence over me and |
couldn't help doing what he told me to. He
had the same influence over Knox. One
time l told him he was a. brute and he said
the devil was born in me and | can't help
doing mean things"

awful nights on the desert?' l asked again.

Portable and even divided their bedclothes

A short time after she became the mis-
tress of Hancock Mrs. Gross says they went
to Perris, Riverside county, where they
stopped with Hancock's mother, Mrs. Carl,
to whom he introduced her as his wife Mrs
Gross says she explained the relationship
existing between them to her, when she re,

talker and as he was introduced to me by

was afraid to leave him. After he killed
those men he told me that he had known

story: Her girlhood she spent in Salt Lake

Ed Baker was before Police Judge Owens
yesterday on two. charges of battery, Mr..
and Mrs. George Phillips being the alleged
victims of his prowess. The couple rented
rooms at the house of Baker, and in Octo-
Der dispute arose, as the Phillipses were
alleged by Baker to be in arrears for rent.
Baker ordered them to leave and they re-
fused, but later complied. They returned
and then Baker called Phillips dead beat,
and the latter replied by calling Baker a
liar. Baker then showed Phillips away from
the door with his open hand, but did not
strike either of the Phillipses. Baker has
civil suit against Phillips for rent due, so
the case was taken under advisement.

Engelke; that Edmiston was killed by Mrs.

cate that Hancock's confession was purely
