track. The other night two chicken thieves
were arrested and locked up. The next
morning the Jail, prisoners and all, had

During the night a freight train came
along and stopped in Winamac to do some

the story of the car, coupled up the Jail
to the train, and when they left town the

RESIDENTS OF JAPAN
LEAD DUAL EXISTENCE

Like the hero in sensational story, the
Jap leads dual life on his native heath
In the morning he is the shrewd man of
business, whether as buyer or seller, on
whom it would be vain for the most cum
ming rogue to try confidence game.
But in the afternoon or evening this
same shrewd Jap may be seen, taking his
holiday, his whole mind absorbed while he
keeps paper butterfly from falling to
the ground by the vigorous flirting of a
fan, or mods his head with glee at the
kite that floats in the ether above his
head Next morning the butterfly and
kite are put away and the Jap is circum-
venting a cute Yankee trader, or with un
rivaled art converting the simplest materi-
al into thing of beauty.

WOULD OPERATE OK CARTS IN
PLACE OF THE CABLE CARS

The strip of junk which the Tacoma
Railway & Power company dignihes by
the name of cable" has been making trou-
BILE again. The cable cars have stopped so
many times this week that people living
on the hill are talking of forming a COM
pany to import few OK teams and operate
an ox-cart line up and down the hill for
the transportation of passengers.
That method of transportation, they ar

deal more sure than the cable cars. Pass
engers on the ox-carts would at least
be sure of getting their moneys worth,
and that is what they cannot do now.
After a passenger has paid to ride to the
top OF the hill, if the cable stops he gets
out and walks, and doesn't get a rebate,

STATE POINTERS

Word has just been received at Aber-
deem of the drowning of Captain Peterson
of the schooner Glenn, off the Oregon
coast, February %. The vessel was caught
in terrific gale, and while Captain Peterson
was assisting members of the crew in hand
ling the sails he was washed overheard.
The contest over the will of the late
Joseph L. Stubblefield Of Walla Walla has
been dismissed. The action was brought
several months ago by Mary Mcl1lroy and
Henry White. They alleged that they were
legal heirs of the decedent, who had cut
them off in his will without a cent. The
case was compromised by the plaintiffs ac-
cepting the sum of $3.50 from the execu-
tors of the estate. The value of the estate
has been estimated at about $l50,000.
Gorge Rinkle, of the Stimson Mill com
pany of Ballard, which owned the lumber
cargo of the schooner Frank Howe,
beached several days ago at Seaview, has
returned from the wreck, and states that
the part of the cargo of the vessel in
the hold will be saved, but the remainder
has been scattered so badly that it will
not be possible to save it. The schooner
will be IA total loss, and has slowly pound
ed to pieces on the rocks, being so badly
broken that it viii be impossible to re-
pair her.
The courts have decided that Mrs. Lewis
of Everett, white woman who married
a negro, may retain the custody Of her
four children, the offspring of a former
marriage The action to take the children
away was brought by an agent of the
humane society.
