WIFE TOOK HIS MONEY.
Spokane Man Robbed by Treacherous
and Persstent Friend From
Iowa.

SPOKANE, Wash, April 29.-When
J-rry L. Milestone returned to his
Lime from a hard days work the
other evening he found not one of his
four children nor his wife to greet
him. but instead an empty house
even the furniture having been carted
away during the afternoon. Whet-
stone at once realized that his family
had been stolen by II. II. Phillips, d
homesteader near CheWelah, who had
been visiting at the Milestone home
for several days. He at once started
for the homestead, where he found
the unfaithful wife and the furniture,
and Immediately sWOre out a warrant
for the arrest of Phillips on the charge
of grand larceny in carrying away the
furniture.
Milestone returned to Spokane to
get an officer to go to CheWelah to
bring the man back for trial, but was
advised by Prosecutor Kimball that
the charge would not hold. as the
goods were practically taken by Mrs
Milestone. The prosecutor advised
the arrest of the couple on the charge
of Illicit Capitalization, which will
probably be done.
1t appears from the story told by
Milestone that they had known Phil

claims is Joe Clark, in Iowa, and the
chief reason for coming west was to
get rid Of him. He soon followed.

Stevens county. He came to Spokane
about a week ago. and apparently at
once began his scheme to break up
the Milestone family. Everything
was prepared for the exodus last
Wednesday, but so carefully was the
work done that when Milestone went
home to dinner he was not suspicious
of any Wrongdoing. When he came
home at the close of the days work.

not vestige of the furniture or the
family being left. In addition it is
claimed the woman took 5000 from

her husbands earnings. which had
been deposited in her name.
MILESTONE is anxious to get posses

but does not seem very anxious about
the wife.

PEACE, SAY DIPLOMATS.

CHICAGO, April pa Washing
ton special to the Tribune says:
There is a buzz of intervention talk
among diplomatic people and the re-
ference is the expression of the opin-
ion that forces are to be set in motion
among the chancellors of Europe
which means the termination of war
between Japan and Russia without
much more bloodshed- 1t is believed
that the ear and the king of England
hold in their hands the threads which
are to be woven into an agreement for
permanent peace.
From diplomatic points of view, the
time for friendly intervention has ar
rived. Russia cannot invade Japan.
nor even regain Korea without q navy.
and that the Russians no longer pos
sess in the orient
Japan has had its fill of glory. 1t
has eXterminated the better part of
sion of Korea, and forced the fight
into Manchuria and Siberian territory
1t is the disposition of Russia which
makes diplomatists believe that peace
is probable. Other countries would
have to fight to satisfy the pride of the
people. In Russia the car could stop

subjects would be ignorant or indiffer-
ent IS to the causes of peace.
The peace plan, therefore, is for
King Edward to represent to the czar
that all the world recognizes the vast

at the start, and thus the personal
