THAT GRUB-STAKE.
Il Requisition Finally Issued for A.
3. Dawson.

Governor Budd yesterday issued d
requisition on the Governor of Wash
ington for the return to this State of
A. B. Dawson, who is wanted at San
Francisco, to answer to a charge OF en-
beZZlement, preferrde by a Colorado
mining syndicate.
Dawson acted as agent for the syndi-
cate, which sent him to the Klondike
country. He had a falling out with
his partner, who was foreman of The
expedition, and they dissolved partner
ship. Subsequently Dawson located a
claim from which he took 5000 in
seven days. He then sold the claim for
$4,000, and sent $1,000 of the dust
to the mint at San Francisco, where it
was coined and returned to him.
The complainants allege that it was
to punish Dawson for apprOpriating
the $1,000 that the requisition was
asked for.
In issuing the requisition Governor
Budd said to a "Record-Union" re-
porter that the problem was a knotty
one, and that he thought it proper to
let the Washington courts determine
whether or not warrant ought to is
sue on the reQuiSition

FENDER SAVED HIM.
Another Cyclist Thrown in Front
of a Car.

A street car fender again saved
mans life yesterday, making quite
list of jobs spoiled for the Coroner.
At an early hour in the morning I.
E. Green, while riding his wheel down
street, attempted to cross the track
in front of a car going in the opposite
direction. The usual thing happened
his wheel slipped on a rail and he was
thrown in front of the car. The motor
man stopped the car as quickly as pos
sible but the fender had picked Green
off the pavement and carried him quite
a distance.
Green was badly bruised and consid-
erably scratched, but luckily no bones
We're broken. The fender was all that
saved him from a shocking death.

FootCear and Gloves.

Woman is largely judged by her ex- tremities, by the way she dresses her feet and hands, and so she should have a care ill selecting footgear and gloves, says a New York fashion writer. At no time are her feet so conspicuous as when in evening attire, unless she happens to be a member of the Rainy Day club. Evenin" slippers arc ycrv smart at pres ent. Two general styles prevail for house and full dress wear-the single strap or the double strap crossed and the laced low shoes Black satin slippers elaborately embroidered in cut jet are very swell aHd make even the clum- siesC foot LOOK sim and dainty. Pos sessors of feet broader than or lon- ger than four should, when possible, stick to black evening slipper, for the light colors make large feet look larger. Silver and gold buckles, jeweled butter flies and bugs. gold and silver embroi- deries, fluffy bows and rosettes all look too beautiful for anything in the shoe mans window, but they are intended for little feet. Women with big feet can apply philosophy to evening slippers as we'll as to everything else in life. For everything you miss you gain some thing else, and the gain in this case is immediate, for it is ill dollars and cents. All of these gimcracks on slippers make them just that much more expensive.
 The proper thing to wear with ball gowns and other elaborate frocks is slipper made from the piece of the gown worn unless it happens to be striped or lowered brocade Then a slipper made of the prevailing tint should be worn. Bronze slippers are much used for house wear again, and they are pret- ty and inexpensive too. What woman does not remember her childish joy over her first pair of bronze slippers?
