A gale from the south with strong re-
semblance to the scent of the male per-
suasion of Washtucna hailed fellow we'll
met here the first of the week. People
who recognized him say he goes by the
common cognomen of Smith but he has
distinguished the name henceforth by a
hirsute appendage fastened to the max
Hilary portion of his face which lends the
prsper Kentucky colonel and judicial air
and of which he seems as proud as we
were of our first pair of red top boots.
He divides his time and attention in the
lively town of his residence between
handing out decisions from the bench to
trespassers of the peace and dignity Of
the state of Washington and seeking a
decision more directly affecting his peace
and dignity from the hand of-later de-
velopments.

mere PERJURY
Alderman Farrell and ms
pector Kelly Deny the
Charges Made Against
Them.

The latest development in the civil
suit of Miss Freida Lippert, Of this city,
against Charles Peter, son of the wealthy
Union Hill brewer, was the issuance yes
terday of a capias for the arrest Of Peter
on the strength of an affidavit made by
Miss Lippert to the effect that he owned
no property in this county and she feared
that he intended to leave the State. The
capias was issued by Supreme Court
Commissioner Charles X. Cannon and
placed in the hands Of an officer for SER
vice.
Stories of the domestic infelicities Of
Peter have been published from time to
time. The latest contained in q despatch
from Trenton a few days ago, told how
Miss Freida Lippert had Instituted suit
for $4,000 for breach of a rather novel
contract alleged to hev been entered into
by Peter and herself.
Miss Lippert in her afidavit Sled at
Trenton few days ago BY her counsel,
ex-Assemblyman Fallon. Of this city,
recites the story of her alleged relations
with Peter since July, 1899, when, she
claims, he promised to marry her when
he obtained a divorce from his then wife,
When he was free, instead of redeeming
his promise, Miss Lippert says, he mar
ried Miss Alma Deppe. She brought suit
for $4,000 for breach of promise to
marry.
According to the story told by the
plaintiff in her new action against her
alleged former fiancee. be came and
begged her to discontinue the suit, saying
that he had married while intoxicated
and promising to get divorce and marry
her. She believed him again and dis
continued the proceedings. They then
lived together, she says, until February
Of last year, when Peter left her.
1t is for breach Of this contract that
Miss Lippert now asks $1,000 damages.
She says in her anidavit that she re-
eeived no money at all from Peter in
settlement of her first suit, although she
understands that her counsel, AIonzo
Let's, was paid $3.50, and Russ & Hep
penheimer got S16e.
