NOT ENOUGH WEDDINGS

This II the dull season with Cupid,
as shown by the assignment just an
nounced Of the marriage license dep
uty in the county clerks office to
other duties.
Something has gone amiss with the
marrying ones, the preachers appear
to have dropped drumming up we'd
dings and Cupid stands shivering in
the February frosts, almost out of a
job,
There were times when the corri-
doris Of the courthouse were lined
with fond healas awaiting their turn
at the book, when a stone couldn't be
thrown from the courthouse steps,
without hitting a minister. But those
times are gone and the formerly
hard-worked deputy, after many days,
when the cobwebs could be safely
stretched around the inkstand on the
registry desk is compelled to give up
his position through lack of work.
He has seen them come in pairs and
in octets, the pretty. the dashing and
the feeble; the well matched and the
ill mated, but now the industry has
fallen off to such an extent that the
few who approach the altar in the
future will tell their joys to another
man.

TO RECOVER A farm.

An interesting story is developing
before Judge KEENAN, today.
Last fall Mary Jane Lewis sold to
a man named Dempsey her farm, To-
Gated at Newman lake. She was to
receive $500 in payment. Dempsey,
it is. alleged. buncoed her and came
to this city after first securing O
deed to the property.
1t Is claimed he sold the farm and
the $500 worth of logs thereon to o.
w. Mcleod. who paid Dempsey $500.
1t appears that when Mrs. Lewis
realized what her carelessness had
cost her, she sought an attorney and
secured a vendors lien, the validity
of which is to be decided by the
court

''All that can be done to protect
the women out there" said the chief
"is to detail a special officer. and then
the territory would be too extensive
for him to accomplish much. How
ever. we will do as much as lays in
our power to entrap the man. 1 will

The proprietor of the o. X. saloon
stated today that Mr.. Thornton, who
lives on the North Side, told him
Monday that women who live in his
neighborhood had been assaulted and
that one of them had been badly in
jured while carrying bucket of wa
ter to her home.
About six weeks ago a man an
swering the description of Jack the
Slugger' created similar excitement
in St. Paul and there are many who
believe he has drifted to Spokane.

saulted and beaten by the mysterious
stranger Sunday night, has recovered

The police are now taking steps to

she left on the westbound train, and
it is very probable that she will be
apprehended either in Seattle, Ia

In the event Of her apprehension
she will fnd that her pretensions to
