want to bring sick and helpless girl
to trial. That is probably the erd of
, the breach of promise proceedings.
The Montesano Tidete says that
John Duseth, resident of the Clear
water country, had brought in some
splendid samples of what is said to be
true anthracite coal from on land en-
braced in the Pacific Forest Reserve,
and OF which he fears he may be un-
able to secure title.
A woman giving the name of Mrs.
Sweeney Anderson, carrying a ii
months old badly in her arms, and
with no money in her pocket, called
at the Home of the Friendess at Spo.
kane, the other morning, having been
directed there by some passerby. She
was looking for lodging, but as that
was merely home for children, she
was sent to Liberty Home, conducted
by the Salvation Army for women.
The woman claimed that she had just
been discharged from the insane
asylum at Fort Steilacoom. She said
that she had DO home and that she
had been sent there by the authorities
of Tacoma, for fear she would soon be
back at the asylum.
Judge Richardson has signed judg-
ment in the contempt of conrt pro-
ceedings brought by William McDon-
aid against w. A. Lewis in which the
action is dismissed and attorney Lewis
is given a judgment against Judge
Mcdonald for $40.5O costs. This is
the case which arose at the time Judge
Mcdonald was occupying the bench in
Spokane county. He declared Attor-
ney Lewis in contempt on account of
an affidavit he filed and sentenced the
attorney to 80 days in Jail. The Su-
preme Court reversed the decision
without even looking through the
case, and the judgment of Judge
Richardson is in accordance with the
remittitur from the Supreme Court.
Another attempt is to be made
to raise the Andelana, sunk in Ia
coma harbor, in 1S5 feet of water.
Captain David Lynch, of Nova Scotia,
is behind the project. He cites the
fact that he assisted in raising an
Italian vessel loaded with cotton from
30S feet of water, in six weeks, q few
years ago. He says that with the
Andelana in 1S5 or 200 feet of smooth
water, the feat Of raising her will be
relatively easy. Two attempts have
been made to raise the Andelana, one
about two years ago, just after the ves-
sci sank, in which $4,000 was spent
with no results, and the second last
fall when Seattle concern with hooks
and donkey engines attempted to grip
the big vessel and pull her into shall
low water.
Ole johnson, 19-year-old youth,
who was released from the Reform
School last fall, is in Jail At Palouse,
guarded by the Marshal and citizens
to prevent lynching. He is charged
with brutally assaulting and outraging
the 17-year-old daughter OF F. Tweit-
meyer, a respectable farmer living
about mile from town. 1t is alleged
that Johnson seized the girl, threw
her to the ground and choked her. In
her struggle her clothing was torn
from her body. More dead than alive
the girl reached her home and in
formed her parents. The alarm was
sounded, and johnson was arrested.
He was taken before Miss Tweitmeyer,
who positively identified him as her
assailant. Feeling runs high, and
threats of hanging are freely made.
Miss Tweitmeyer is in a critical condi-
ton. Should she die, nothing can
save johnson from lynching.
A man named Chesterfield, who is
travelling photographer, is under ar
rest at Whatcom, charged with foully
assaulting Mrs. Evans, who is So years
old, and who lives near Ferndale
After the crime Chesterfield induced
two girls named Renshaw to drive
with him to Whatcom. Upon reach
ing the city he left one of the girls,
the older one, at the Bellingham ho-
tel, and took the other one in car
riage to Fairhaven. In Fairhaven he
bought some candy which he doped
and gave to the girl. After she had
eaten part of the candy she became
sick and was at the mercy of the hu.
man brute. He drove her out to the
edge OF town and taking her from the
carriage, assaulted her. Placing her
in the carriage again he returned to
Whatcom and was Immediately placed
under arrest for the crime of Mrs.
Evans. When the police arrested
Chesterfield they had no knowledge of
the second offense and did not learn
OF its commission until Officer Aliree
brought the girls up to the city hall
They went there to see when Chester
field was going to take them back to
Ferndale, as their mother was sick
and they we're afraid she would worry
about them. The younger one, Ida
Renshaw, a mere child, was in a pitt
full condition, having been badly in
jured. She was removed at once to
private house, where she lies in crti-
cal condition.
