Danish woman, it is stated, emulat-

the extent of smashing the WIN

siderably harder to handle than
Carrie of Kansas.
According to the tale she imbibed
too freely during the evening and
along towards night became so
boisterous it was necessary to put
her in the bastile. But the officer
had his hadns full, for when the
woman saw an opportunity she
broke and made for freedom. Her
course was rather uncertain and
she ran in the back way of the
Nichols place and there turned on
the officer and fought like a wild
cat. 1t was during the miXup that
her window-smashing qualities
were brought out and she scattered
glass all over the place.

County Cases Before Grand
Jury Expedited.

Deputy United States Marshal
Ide left last evening for the west.
Ide will go to Seattle and be on
hand for the opening Of the United
States grand jury. The deputy has
with him several confessions of
guilt from prisoners now held in
the county jail, who, If regular rOu-
tine Is followed, will have to await
the April term of court for hear
ing, but the prisoners may take the
alternative of going to Seattle If
they wish through Mr.. Ide, who will
appear for them.
If the grand jury finds no case
against them. or there is a lack of
evidence to warrant holding them
on the various charges. they are
released. On the other hand, If the
grand jury finds sufficient evidence
to hold them on specific charge,
after this face is made known a
trial can be secured.
1t works less expense on the
county and eXpedites matters for
those held on insufficient evidence.
