s,ol. HI. Clothes.

Yesterday Dan Calden, travelling
from Portland, Oregon, to Wells, struck
Eiko and camped at the water tank Just
below town. He had with him a quilt, a
new suit OF clothes. a pair of light pants,
a hat, two suits OF underwear, two top
shirts, n dress shirt, a pair of ehoes,
nearly new, and other articles wrapped
up, in a blanket. Wishing to walk
around a little he hung the roll over tho
corral near he tank out OF sight OF
everybody as he thought. When he
started for his walk. there were three
strange men at the tank, but when he
returned, after an absence Of about ten
minutes. the men and his roll we're
gone. He notified Deputy Constable
Van Driellen of his loss and the two
put in the night trying to find the mis-.
sing property. Failing to get any trace
OF it. Calden early this morning notified
Sheriff Campbell and he soon had the
three men Mt his Office whom Golden
suspected Of swiping his property. He
then hunted up Calden who identified
the men, but was unable to swear 10 q
complaint against them as he could not
prove they took his property. Mono Of
the missing property was found on the
men.
Golden seems to be an honest sort OF
a fellow and looks like a working man.
He has no hopes OF finding his property
and charges his !oss to ca~relessneas on
his part. He will be more careful in
the future.

Says Germsn s,ldiers Are Overrated.

A Russian military expert says that
the principal qualities of the German
soldier are boundlsss arrogance and
unlimited confidence in his own prov.
ess. The German soldier Is trained
to regard himself as superior to any
other soldier in the world, a system
which produces a dangerous tendency
to underestimate the strength of an
enemy He is not without good quail.

staying power are weak. he is a fight.
ing machine, utterly without initiative,
and would be helpless if required to
act on his own judgment in position
of difficulty. He has to be fed and
pampered in a comparatively luxuri.
Gus way in order to be kept in fit con-
dition, and it is more than doubtful
that he would be able to stand the
hardships of long campaign. The
article states, in conclusion, that the
German army is absurdly overrated,
and it expresses the opinion that Rus
STA can contemplate the possibility Of
q war with Germany with perfect Sc
renity.

Few Words for Each Recalling the Fate OF
Leading Bills.

Washington, D. C. (SpecialD With

CoNTeNDING FOR A PRINCIPLE
Good Example OF 9zibbIss That Prevail

GOOu Examplo Oh AAiDOVS Ahoe = Ao'"AA
In LsyN Practice.
An English writer gives good eX-
ample of those bubbles in legal prac-
tice that have sort of fascination for
certain minds. Some years ago, while
travelling on the continent, he met the
principal lawyer for the government
of one of the principalities, who told
him of a curious legal question. 1t
had reference to a railway station at
the boundary between two principali-
ties.
Someone standing outside the win
dow of the ticket Office had put his
hand through and robbed the till in
side. The boundary line lay between
where the thief stood and the till, so
that he was actually in one territory
while the crime was committed In an
other. Here was nice nut for the
gentlemen learned in the law to crack.
Which of the principalities should I'M
dertake the prosecution of the crimi-
nal?
AT 1t they went In good earnest, and
the arguments on either side were
long and vehement, till the whole case
was embalmed in many volumes. At
last one side yielded so far as to say:
1--WE will permit you, as an act OF
courtesy, to prosecute, while at the
same time reserying all our sovereign
rights"
At this point of the recital asked,
"And how did the prosecution end?"
"Ah! That is quite another mat
ter" said my friend. There was no
prosecution; we were only arranging
what we should do when we caught
the robber; but we never caught him."

CHINESE HELP THE CRIMINALS
Great Difficulty Experienced In Convict
ipg a Celestial Murderer.

Great Difficulty Experienced In Convict
ing a Celestial Murderer
Just to see how hard it is to convict
a Chinese accused of participation In
one of the highbinders wars, | will
cite a single instance that came under
the notice of one of the representa-
tives of a great San Francisco news
paper.
A Chinese gardener named All Lux
was shot in the back by a binder
while he was sitting in the Chinese
Theater on Jackson street. He was
instantly killed. Immediately follow
ing the fatal shot the usual movement
took place around the body, but the
actors on the stage never even so
much as hesitated in the delivery OF
their lines. When the man fell from
the bench the lookout at the main en-
trance of the place called out in Chi.
nese that the white devils were COM
ing. The man who did the shooting
so far forgot himself as to run, and
the police on a hot scent saw him
and started after the fugitive. The
man ran out of the side entrance to
the auditorium and made his way TO
Fish Alley. The police were close to
him and saw him enter building at
the corner of the next block. The
squad hurried into the place and cap
tured two well-known binders. Meth
err of them had a weapon, but there
were powder burns on the right hand
of one of the men. Nothing could be
learned from either of the prisoners,
and they were locked up with
charge of murder against each OF
them.
the next morning in court two
brothers of the murdered man swore
that they were with him at the time
of their brothers death and saw the
man who did the shooting, and posi-
lively swore that neither OF the prls'
oners had anything to do with the kill
ing. The accused men were forth
with released. But that night both or
the brothers were arrested for killing
one of the men who was turned loose
by their evidence in the morning and
dangerously wounding the other.
When the wounded man recovered ne
swore that neither OF the brothers had
anything to do with shooting him.
Which all goes to prove that it does
not matter much what Chinese has
to swear to, and also that in his poor,
weak Monaghan way he does not take
q great deal of stock in the brand OF
justice dispensed by the white devils.

OF lodge laws. The question was rails
ed whether a Spaniard is white man

The decision was that the Mexicans OF
