HE HAD NO SCAR.
Coiored Murder Suspect at Police
Headquarters Was Released.

The colored man who was suspected
at police headquarters of being the
original of the Photograph of a mur-
derer was released yesterday. AS men,
toned in The Tribune, the man was
given lodging Monday night. Detec-
tive John w. Moir saw him and the
striking resemblance of the fellows
face to a photograph Of Charles Woolk-
ers. who murdered a man in Chicago,
caused the investigation.
The photograph was found, but, al
though the resemblance was strong,
the fact that the accused murderer
had a scar on his forehead and the
police suspect did not, resulted in the
latter's release.

buzzing about. A gang of extra men
were waiting about at the dispatcher's
office.
Superintendent r. +. Fox stated in
the evening that no lines had been
blocked. The whole system had been

The case of j.. J. Ehrgood against the
Moscow Water company occupied all
of yesterday before Judge Archibald in
court room No. 2, and will likely take
up another day or two. The line Of
defense is that the water companv's
reservoir does not diminish the natural
flow Of the stream TO any appreciable
extent, but simply stores water collect
cd In time of freshcts. 1t is also being
shown that the mills of the plaintiff
had to shut down frequently because
of lack of water in the stream, even
