CHEHALs, Feb. 26.-Harry Temple,
of Morton, Lewis county, forty miles
east of here, has just brought in and
turned over to the authorities of Che
halls county man over so years Of
age, named Olander Harris, who is
charged with abduction. His victim
is l3-year-old girl named Daisy Ben
ner. The girl formerly lived with her
parents up on the Humptulips river,
over In Chehalls county. Harris lived
there also, and last fall got the girl to
leave her home and go and live with
him. She is his niece. He says that
for some time they lived in the woods
near the girls home, but kept so care
fully concealed that no one discovered
them. The disappearance of Che pair
at the time caused some excitement,
and the Chehalis county commission
ers offered reward of $3.50 for the
arrest of Harris.
Mr.. Temple saw this item in week
ly paper few weeks ago, and know
ing that Harris and the girl were lily
ing near Morton, set about inquiring
more about the people. Finally being
fully convinced that he had the right
parties spotted, he secured a warrant
for their arrest and took them in. The
girl soon broke down and admitted
who she was, but begged not to be
taken back home, on the ground that
her parents abused her to the point of
cruelty. At Morton she had been
wearing boys clothing, and passing
herself off as boy, whenever she was
seen in public, which, however, was
very seldom. Her condition is deli
cate one, and Harris is likely to go to
the penitentiary on more serious
charge and for a longer term than he
could be sent there on the charge OF
abduction. Temple turned his prison
ers over to a deputy sheriff and Prose-
cutting Attorney Abel at Centralia yes
terday.-P.-L.

Lulled Him to Rest Anyhow.

Not long ago venerable couple from
a far western town arrived late at night
at a seaside resort, and, being weary,
went at once to bed. Just as the hus-
band was falling asleep he murmured:
listen to the surf, Matilda; it's glor-
ious, worth the journey, I haven't heard
it for 40 years." In the morning they
saw no sea from windows or piazza. On
inquiry, the husband discovered that a
bowling alley had lulled him to rest.
