Daring Attempt at Robbery.

A daring attempt at robbery was
made on Eastside, on Thursday night
of last week. The residence of Mrs.
Dewitt, on Ounce street, was entered
about midnight by two burglars, and
while one covered the woman with
pistol the other ransacked the house.
Trunks were opened and their contents
scattered, bedding was piled on the
floor, and the carpet torn up, in quest
of money. After a search lasting sew
cral minutes (hours says the terrified
woman) they departed in disgust over
their fruitless labor.
Mrs. Dewitt was so thoroughly
frightened that she did not give an
alarm, even after their departure, and
it was not till morning that she told
her narrowing tale to her neighbors,
and it was several hours afterwards be-
fore it came to the ears of the police.
Chief Savidge Immediately began
search, under the vague description
that one of the marauders was, as

THE THREE ARTISTS.
BY MARY FRANCES PORTER.

1.-THE following little gem of poesy was wri
ten by the lately de ceased wife of Judge Porter
aud was found among many other unpublishe
poems she had prepared apparently for her ow
amusement and delectation.-ED.1
Three Artists once. In Truths array,
Through Natures bower slowly strolled,
Their glowing passions to allay
That gifted talents e'er unfold
There Summer hung her banners gay
In Beauty's brilliant fair display,
And all her ch0irs Of minstrelsy
Joined in their sweetest melody.
While each in silence sought theme
To pacify the longing soul;
One to chant In Music's dream,
And one to stamp upon the scroll:
With patience wrought and earnest skill,
Until the day had nearly passed,
Each heart had nearly quaffed its all
And his ideal had caressed.
As II their labors then to cheer,
A songsfer, plumed In feathers gay,
Perchcd among the branches near
And sung his purest. sweetest lay.
Their souls by harmony allured,
We're bound as by magic thong
The artist painted well the bird,
The musician caught his song.
The poet then in silence sought
E The inspiration quite divine,
And in Q moment penped the thought
That piuioned both in close combine.

Death Of Mrs. win D. Jenkins.

Mrs. Will D. Jenkins, wife of the
Secretary of State, died at Phoenix
Arizona, Tuesday afternoon, of pull.
monary troubles of long standing.
Her serious illness dates from last
spring, when che tried change of eli
mate and surroundings in the vain
hope of obtaining relief.
She spent some time at Spokane,
but growing constantly weaker, ply
sicians prescribed a change to O warm
er cline and Arizona was suggested.
A few weeks ago she was taken to
Phoenix. Mr.. ]. had but returned
from the trip, elated with the hope
that the change had already proved
beneficial, when he was summoned to
return by a relapse. He had only
reached Fresno, Cal, when the sad
news OF her death amid strangers
reached him.
Mrs. jenkins was a native of Fort
Douglas, Utah, and daughter of an
army officer. She was educated in the
convent at Salt Lake and passed her
youthful days in that city. She came
to this State about nine years ago, and
a year later became the wife Of Will
ID. Jenkins. She leaves two children
girls aged 4 and 6 years respectively
without that best counselor and
guide, loving mothor. Mrs. ]. made
many friendships wherever she has re-
sided and died universally respected.
The body will be brought home for
interment.

Hoyt's Masterpiece. "A Bunch Of Keys"

Some fifteen years ago, farce comedy
entered the amusement arena and
metamorphically knocked out the ser.
ious drama. 1t was not surprising,
for it was pleasure pure and simple /;
music, wit, dancing, pretty faces, and
breezy story, was combination no
one could resist even were he a good
Sir Anthony. Like the bicycle it took
a season or two to establish its merits,
but once perfected it became power
and stayed. The first of the great
farce comedies was the Bunch of
Keys" and it was the foundation stone
of the structure, which made Chas.
Hoyt the most famous playwright OF
America, a millionaire and a Con-
gresham. Strange to say, it has out
lived o dozen subsequent works. 1t
has made more money than any three
of Hoyt's plays, and year after year
swings around the country delighting
countless thousands who flock to seek
few hours of unbroken merriment.

Narrow Escape From Prison.

teen years of age, has been brought UP
with round turn" at the threshold
OF a career OF infamy sure to end in

Edward was employed as an Grand
boy at Olympia Theater, which gave
him access to all parts of the house
and he violated the confidence placed
in him by rifing the pockets of Harri
son Steadman, one of the leading &C.
tors in On the Suwanee River" Mr.
S. while on the stage had left his street
suit in the dressing-room, and in his
pants pockets $3.50 in change, which
was appropriated by the boy. When
Mr.. S. discovered his loss, the city pc
lice were called and Chief Savidge and
Officer Myers made a search of the
stage employees without finding any
trace of the money. 1t was noted
however, that the boy was absent, and
from the fact that he had suddenly
disappeared after the second act, i,
was surmiscd that he might be the
thief. The Chief, about midnight
succeeded in finding him, and his be-
ing considerably under the influence
of liquor afforded still stronger proc
Of his guilt. When searched, part o.
the money was found upon him. He
owned up to taking the money and
stated that he had given the remainder
to his brother. This proved true ant
$3.50 of the money was secured anC
returned to Mr.. Stedman. The DO,
was placed in Jail till Monday, when hi
was taken before the public prosecutor
Mr.. Funk. AS the guilt is admitted
the prison doors were ajar for the
young criminal, but owing to the ser
ious illness of his father, it was finally
determined to allow the matter to re
main in allegiance for the present, con
ditioned upon immediate and thorough
reformation. If the youth is caugh
in bad company, or is party to thu
slightest infraction of the law, tin
case will be at once placed on tn
docket for prosecution.

The squaw who was brought to
North Yakima a few days ago with
her limbs frozen, owing to having
been drugged with liquor by a half
breed and left without covering, ex-
posed to the wintery elements, is ~.
ing in miserable hut, in a most de-
plorable condition. Her feet and
limbs are so badly frozen that they are
decaying, and she lies helpless and
with practically no care. U. S. Dep.
uty Marshal Dilley communicated the
circumstances to Agent Lynch, but
as she did not belong to the Yakima
reservation and as the civil authorities
had no power to expend money on a
government charge, almost absolute
neglect has been the result. Some In.

food for the poor woman.
