BRECKENRIDGE RETURNS

Lexington, KY, Aug 13.-At a re-
ception given here by Milton Young
to Governor Beckham, an old fash
Toned democratic love feast was held,
although the host himself is one Of
the staunchest republicans in Fayette
county. Prominent democratic poll
ticians from adj over the state were
in attendance, among them being
Judge S. w. Hager, democratic nom
inee for state auditor; w. P. ThOrne,
democratic nominee for lieutenant
governor, and Colonel w. c. P.
Breckenridge, who has been out of
the democratic ranks since 1896.
At the gathering Colonel Brecken-
ridge made speech in which he an
nounced that he was once more with
the democratic party and asked his
friends in the party to let bygones be
bygones 1t is believed by the close
friends of Colonel Breckenridge that
he will be candidate for congress at
the next election to represent this,
the seventh district, which he so ably
represented for twenty years before
he left the party and had his name
placed under the log cabin.
Friends of Colonel Breckenridge
started to launch a boom for him
then and there, but w. P. Kimball,
who was called on for a speech said
he was a candidate for the same
place.

SEATTLE DETECTIVES
60 ON BEATS
Chief Sullivan Taking Vigorous Meas
ures To Hid Seattle of the
Criminal Class.

Seattle.-Detectives Jack Barck
and Acting Detective Charles Phillips
were ordered to take patrolmen,s
beats in uniform Monday morning.
Chief of Police Sullivan issued the or
der, he states, for the good of the SER
vice.
Barck was order to report TO Cap
tain Ward, and Phillips to report to
Captain Laubscher. Neither man
had worn uniform for several years.
Il made the change for the good of
the service" said Chief of Police Sui
livan.
This is the only comment he would
make on the order, which was given
out as soon as the chief came down
town
Phillips has been a candidate for
chief of police in event of any posi-
BILE vacancy. He has not been in
touch with the present chief for some
time, and he has not hesitated to ex-
press his disbelief in methods now
used, and motives behind them
The roundup of suspicious charac-
ters has been made, for the mos.
part by policemen serving in plain
clothes. These have sent in about
seventy men during the past forty
eight hours. There are now eighty
men in all behind the bars of the city
prison. Nearly every one of the new
prisoners was arrested as a suspic-
iOus character, and in most cases no
visible means of support were known.
Several Of these prisoners are
known as ex-convicts. Others are re-
puted thieves. Still others spend
their time in saloons or with women
below the line
Just now at least three "mobs' of
crooks appear TO be at work in Seat
tie One has been blowing safes and
| is thought to be headed by some we'll
known convict. Another includes the
| two gentlemannered highWaymen
who robbed the Little pharmacy in
North Seattle Saturday night, and
held up a pedestrian the night before
near the Denny school. The third
has been busy at small burglares
and rough highway robberies. The
latter seems to be pretty well broken
up by recent arrests. 1t included the
men who lived at Auburn and robbed
| in Seattle and Tacoma.
In order to thoroughly check the
| operations of those thieves who seem
to be broken up, and in the hope of
getting new men, the department is
| now being handled on new lines,
much more rigorous than those here
| tofore used. Every outgoing subur-
| ban car is now guarded by an officer
from 80 O'Clock on. Plain clothes

WIDOW At BOTTOM
CT GARFIELD TRHGEDY
Brown Who Shot TurnocW Had En-
tangIement With Fair
Charmer,

Colfax.-It is now believed that the
shooting of Thomas Turnbow, at Gar
field Sunday morning, by j. E. Brown,
was caused by woman. Brown is
said to have been enamored of
young widow living in Garfield, and
his attentions to her had become
crowd of boys and young men sur
rounded the house of this young wild
OW when Brown was alleged to be in
the house and gave them an old fash
iOned charivari This caused a sensa-
ton in the quiet, prohibition town Of
Garfield, where nothing more excit-
ing than a crokinole social is allowed
by the town authorities Brown
blamed Turnbow with having been
one of the fnstigators of the plot to
listed between them since that event.
Women Quarrel on the Street.
Saturday, the day before the shoot
ing Mrs. Brown, who is much older
than her husband, and is said to be
extremely jealous of him, met the
widow in question on the streets of
Garfield and gave her "a piece of
her mind" Their interview was quite
stormy and sensational. Mrs. Brown
afterward said, so it is alleged. They
| had a gun l would kill them both. "
This is taken to have meant Mr..
Brown and the widow. 1t is said that
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown passed stormy
night Saturday night, and the fact
that Brown was on the street, arme1
| with a revolver, before O'Clock
! Sunday morning, and shot TurnboW
without any words Or quarrel, is
charged by the state as evidence
that he had risen and armed himself
geance on those whom he held re
sponsible for his exposure and hui
initiation.
| Recalls Hill lynching
Nothing in the history of Garfield
since the killing Of Longford Somers
in the fall of 1892, has created such
a sensation and horror as the shoot
ing OF Sunday morning. Somers was
killed by Ed Hill, and Hill was taken
from the county Jail at Colfax AM
hanged from the courthouse window
That the people of Garfield and vi
cinity are capable Of becoming thor
oughly aroused was demonstrated by
this incident and the fact that when
Frank Madden, a young mhn Of Gar
field. while drunk, almost killed a re
spectacle citizen by hitting him with
beer bottle, they tried to take Mad
dem from the sheriff and hang him
in daylight, and only by standing at
the head of the stairway with drawn
revolvers were the officers enabled
to stand off the mob.
Feeling against Brown was intense
in Garfield and vicinity and had Turn,
bow been killed instantly there IS lit
tie doubt that an effort would have
been made to lynch Brown.

MRS. DORMAN GETS A DIVORCE
Spokane Judge Gives Decree Against
Ortho Dorman to Fault
Finding Wife.

A divorce was granted in the case of
Beth Dorman VS.. Ortho Dorman by Judge
KEENAN, this forenoon, on the grounds of
cruel treatment and abandon nent. Mr..
and Mrs. Dorman were married at Sc
attic July 2, 1900, and on April FL, 1908,
they entered into a written agreement
wherein all property rights as between
them were then and there determined
and adjusted, and division of all the
property was made. Prior to the eXecu-
ton of the contract they separated and
have since continued to live apart.
The testimony tended to show that the
plaintiff has been guilty of cruel treat
ment toward his wife, and that he applied
terms and epithets to her, finding fault
with her ideas of life, of sociability. Of
culture and refinement with the result
that she was made sick and compelled to
secure medical advice and attendance.
In December. 1902, it is alleged. Mr.. Dor
man remarked to his wife that he chad
picked her up out of the dust and mar
ried her." On January 1, 1908, the de-
PENDANT left the plaintiff. and since then
they have remained apart.
The decree was granted in accordance
with the petition, Mrs, Dorman having
had restored to her her maiden name of
Beth Thompson, and her property rights
under the contract with her husband
were confirmed.
The foregoing article was published in
the Spokane Daily Chronicle Of May s.
The Dorman families have resided here
for many years, and all are well respect
ed. The men are farmers, and have
been engaged in newspaper work and
mercantile pursuits, and are now in the
real estate business. The concensus of
public opinion here is that Ortho Dor
man never mistreated his wife, and it is
extremely doubtful if Mrs. Dorman
could have obtained the decree severing
the matrimonial bonds had her husband
not concurred and assisted her in the ac-
ton. The Dormans may be character
istically noted for their kindness to wives
and children, and to each other. A feel
ing of regret prevails that the marriage
of this fine appearing young couple
should end in this way. and incidental
mention is made only in righteous de-
Tense of Mr.. Dorman, who is compelled
to pass an ordeal hard to bear.
