the arrest of the Biddles, and also said
he was of the opinion that if it was at
all feasible the Biddles would be removed
to this city at the earliest possible mo-
ment Much depended, he said on what
condition the prisoners were in, and that
he could not say definitely as to what
action he could take until he had investi-
gated for himself
The declaration by Edward Biddle that
he did not shoot Detective Fitzgerald and
was not implicated in the Kahney muir
der is given no credence by the superin-
tendent of police and Kelly.
AS to the Biddles' declaration that nei-
Their of them was at the Kahney house
the night of the murder, Detective Kelly
said:
THAT is absurd. Fred Ohlinger posi-
lively identified them, as did several
others The Seebers woman was ac-
counted for that night The Biddles
statement in this regard is absurd, as a
preponderance of evidence shows"
Former Warden Soffel made the start
ling revelation that he had been under
the influence of chloroform during the
night when the Biddles broke jail. Az
Soffel believes the anaesthetic was al
ministered by his wife
The Butler officers demand half of the
reward of 5000. and in order to hold the
prisoners warrants Were sworn out for
the B;ddles, charging them with feloni-
Gus shooting in attempting to kin Mrs.
ScffeI.
District Attorney Haymaker says the
position taken by the Butler officials is
wholly untenable. and steps will be taken
at once to compel them to relinquish
their claims.
AS there is nothing to hold Mrs. Soffel
as a prisoner Mr.. Haymaker will prefer
charges against her of felonious assault
and battery and aid and assisting a pris-
oner to escape from place of confne
ment.
BUTLER Pa. Feb. l. 1:20 p. m.-The
Biddles are believed to be dying, and.
contrary to expectations, John may pass
away first.
Inflammation has set in in his bowels,
which were torn to pieces by the bullets,
and it is said. he cannot live long.
Ed Biddle is in a dying condition. He
is in commissions, and the death rattle
has been detected in his throat.
Mrs. SoffeI has developed pneumonia,
and her condition is more serious than
ever.

WHITES WON
BY A BLOCK

The first practice game of polo. prepar-
atory to selecting the team which shall
represent the Oahu Polo Club in the COM
ing inter-island tournament, was played
at Kapiolani Park on Saturday in the
presence of a small crowd. The teams
and positions were as follows:
Whites-Potter, 1; Angus, 2; Dilling-
ham, 8; Dole, back.
Reds-Atkinson. l; Hancock, 2; Dickey,
8; Flemming, back
-Four ten-minute periods were played.
The game. which was devoid of special
features, ended in a win for the Whites
by the score Of z to T.
The players on the whole seemed to be
somewhat off color, probably on account
of the heat, and the game itself was
characterized by a lack of that dash
which was so conspicuous in the recent
league contests.
The goals were distributed as follows:
Reds-Hancock CD, Atkinson 90.
Whites-Angus (0, Dillingham; a. Pot

"MUDDLED OATS
AT THE GOALS"

At Makiki on Saturday an unusually
interesting league game of Association
football between the Male Ilimas and
the Hackfeld-Davies team resulted in a
win for the former by the narrow mar
gin of one goal, the only point scored in
the game. Following were the teams
and positions:
Male Ilimas-Cummings, goal; r. An
derson, McGill, back; Brown, Craik, J..
Anderson, half backs; Munro Lansdale,
Boyle, Bolster Chamberlain forwards.
Hackfeld-Davies Dusenberg, goal;
Guild, Beardmore, back; Isenberg, Sin
! clair, Churton, halfbacks; Dyer, Brett.
Morse, Davies, Stopp, forwards.
No goal was scored in the first half
The Males had all the best of il, how
ever. and it was only Dusenberg's mag
niticent bookkeeping which prevented the
Males from compiling several goals.
In the second half the ball, finely CEN
tered by Craik, was hurtled through by
the green and gold battalion. In this
half the Males should have scored sew
eral times.
The losers put up a surprisingly good
individual game but showed a total lack
of combination. Churton and Byer in
particular, played much improved game.
Guild and Morse at the two extremes
We're the mainstays of the team. For
the winners Boyle, r. Anderson and Nc

Saw MILL Burned.

We learn that on last Wednesday
morning the saw mill plant of Mr..
George Martin Caughman, on the
Perry extension cf the Southern
Railway, was destroyed by fire. This
is severe lost to Mr. Caughman, as
it is the second or third time in the
recent past that he has had the mis-
fortune to lose his saw mill plant by
fire. The one destroyed last Wednes-
day was a new outfit throughout,
having been put in only a few
months ago, upon WHICH there was
no insurance.
We understand that Mr.. Caugh-
man has purchased new outfit and
as soon as it can be put in running
order the buzz Of the saw will be
heard again. We admire the pluck
of Mr.. Caughman.

relate their experiences to an admir-

ing a gay old time feasting on bacon
and mixed bread, as they carried q
large quantity of that old stand by
rations, which comes in mighty good
when suckers fail to bite.

The Table Napkin.

Curiously enough, that article now
considered almost indispensable, the
table napkin. was first used only by
children and was adopted by elder
members Of the family about the mid
die Of the fifteenth century. In eti-
quette books of an earlier date than
this among other sage pieces of advice
for children are instructions about wip-
ing their fingers and lips with their
napkins.
1t seems that the tablecloth was long
enough to reach the floor and served
the grown people in place Of napkins.
When they Gid begin to use napkins.
they placed them first on the shoulder,
then on the left arm ard finally tied
them about the neck.

KNITTING IN PARLIAMENT.

Not So Many Years Ago Men Did the
knitting For Scotland.
Quite thrill Of surprise was caused
by Scottish member Of parliament
who was recently observed calmly
knitting a stocking while waiting in
the smoking room Of the house Of COM
mons. At the present day the sight Of
a man plying the knitting needles is
novel one, though in the remoter parts
of Scotland it is not at all uncommon.
Less than half century ago. how
ever, the greater part Of the stockings
worn were knitted by the men folk.

more or less to spinning.
The shepherd starting out at the
break of day to his duties on the hill
would as soon have forgotten his lunch

the minutes wasted, and the "click,

his diligence.
Such industry seems strange to the
present day mind. but what else had
they to occupy their minds and time?

about three miles from this place
last Friday afternoon at the age OF
49 years, month and 9 days. In
the morning of this day she was
stricken down with what is supposed
to have been a stroke of paralysis
and all that tender hands and loving
hearts could do and medical skill
suggest was done to give her relief,
but without avail and in the after
noon her gentle spirit winged its
everlasting fight to the far away
home of the soul in the beautiful
Beulsh land. She died in the
triumph of Christian hope, with the
blessed assurance that there remain
eth rest for the people of God.
She was a consistent member of Zion

of her Christian and social duties she
was faithful and acted we'll her part.
