case was prosecuted by County Attor-
ney Baker, assisted by S. G. Murray
and the defense was conducted by c..
B. Calkins and O'Hara & Myers. The
case was stubbornly contested from
start to finish.
S. G. Tillman, father of the child,
made complaint against Fausett about
year ago. Fausett was released on
bail and skipped the country. He. Sc
cured employment on a fruit farm
near Yakima, Wash. One day a
shipment of fruit was received by J.
D. Miser in Stevensville, a box of
fruit contained note written by the
woman who had packed the fruit stat
ing that Fausett former resident Of
Stevensville was then sojourner on
the fruit farm. This note led to the ap.
prehension of Fausett by former
Sheriff Watts. Fausett has lain in the
Jail here for the past six
months.

TOO MUCH WIND
THTRD or YACHT RACES WAS

Wind o1 Sandy Hook Blew With Velocity of 30 Miles an
 Hour Third Race f Tomorrow.

New York. Aug. z9.--Eor the frat kins in tue history of America's cup contest, a race hAs been postponed hec1use of too much wil.d. Today the third of khe pres- ent series of races was to have been sail- ed Following the futile attempt of Thurs day. when there was not enough wind to complete the race within the time limit, 1t was earnestly hoped by yachtsmen that todays contest would be decisive and the series completed. Ten hours after Thurs days drifting failure, storm broke over the cup course and ragged about Sandy Hook. The water was tumbled into waves that troubled even an ocean liner. The wind blew with a velocity of fifty miles an hour, and the rain, driven be- fore 1t, obscured the vision beyond a mile or more.
 Within the sheltering bend of Sandy Hook. where the two racing yachts rode at their moorings, the water was com parative1y quiet this morning, while across the sandy peninsula. on the ocean side, the surf boomed as 1t broke upon the beach.

In the meantime tug was sent to Sandy Hook to secure the views of MT. Iselin and Sir Thomas Lipton in the matter and up- on the return of the tug definite action will be taken. A prominent member of the yacht club said this morning that he was In favor of a race Monday, and now that Sir Thomas Lpton has openly expressed himself upon the abilities of both boats and acknowledged himself defeated. it was thought advisable by many members of the yacht be sailed Monday and the series completed as soon as possible

WANT RECIPROCITY
PALMA SAYS so IN DISPATCH
 TO ROOSEVELT.
Expresses Satisfaction of Agrarians Over Fact Congress Has Been Called Togther to Con-
 sider a New Treaty.

Havana, Aug. 2s.--In compliance with a petition presented to him by the Agrarian League, President Palma has sent a dispatch to President Roosevelt voicing the satisfaction of the agriculturlsts Of Cuba over the fact that the United States Congress will shortly be summoned to consider the subject of reciprocity with Cuba and expressing confidence that Congress will do justice to the island by approving the treaty.
 The League )has requested President Palma to summon Congress for the com sideration of measures for the subvention of steamship lines with a view to the Inn porting of workers from Spain and the Canary Islands in the autumn and re- turning them in June; for the subvention of railways to such an extent as will enable them to make reductions of 25 per cent in theit freight rates on sugar and tobacco; for the creation of an agricui- tural loan bank and for the re-construc- tion of the government of agriculture; the calling of a special session of Con- gress however. is considered improbable as the subventons propositions are not favorably regarded by the administra- tion.
