Considerable oat cutting has been done.
Spring wheat suffered considera bly,

kGAIN REFUSES EXTRADITI0M.
Chinese Woman Will Not Be Taken
to California.

Governor Mcbride has again refused
to grant the extradition of All Oy, the
little Chinese woman of this city, who
is wanted in San Francisco on the
charge OF embezzling $1,000.
The eXtradition was refused last
week owing to an error in the legal
papers. These errors We're fixed up
and a new hearing granted by Govern
or Mcbride who refused to grant the
eXtradition papers a second time, after
listening to the merits of the case.
From the evidence submitted the fact
was established that the woman had
been an inhabitant of Washington for
the past four years and the crime with
which she is charged was alleged to
have been committed in San Francisco
little more than a year ago. On this
showing the governor refused to grant
the e2itradition.

An0sner Man Committed the Crime
PRISONER Has Been Taken From
Prison to Everett.

when he was brought up for trial at
Everett two weeks ago on a cbarga
ol roppery, Lars a. Lundin, a Swede
with little knowledge of Enplisb
was induced to plead guilty to the
charge by a policeman. Upon MS plea
he was sentenced to serve three wears
in the penitentiary, and was brought
to that institution with several other
prisoners. Since he was received at
the prison Attorney J. H. Naylor made
a motion to set aside the sentence. The
GROUNDS advanced were that Lundin
pleaded guilty to the charge under a
apprehension. Upon the showing
made by the attorney Judge Denney of
the superior court ordered Lundin re-
turned to Everett, and he has been
taken back to that city, and is now in
the county Jail pending the decision
on the motion to set aside the sentence.
Lundin was accused of stealing two
watches from another man. and when
arrested the watches We're found in his
possession. Since he was sentenced it
has developed that Lundin was not the
thief, but had been given the watches
by the man who did the robbing.
According to affidavits which nave
been prepared for submission to the
court by Lundin's attorney, he did not
understand the import Of the sentence
when he pleaded guilty. and he was
induced to plead by Policeman Swan
son, who made the arrest, on account
of the watches having been found in
his possession.
