STUDENT IS A BURGLAR
A = GARDNER DISCOVERED AT
PENlTENTlARY By ONE OF
THE OFFICIALS.
Bookkeeper Recognizes Convict As an
Old CIassmate at the University
Of Washington.

From college classes to burglary was
the step taken by Alexander H. Gard
ner, formerly of the university of
Washington, now convict at the
penitentiary. AS &c. n. Adams" who
tried to rob Police Sergeant Mike Pow
ward captured by that officer with
big revolver and slungshot in his pock-
cts, he was sentenced to 10 years in
the Walla Walla penitentiary. During
the trial and until taken to the peni-
Tertiary. Adams never confessed who
he really was.
When he was brought to the peni-
Tertiary several days ago Garfield Nc
Glinn, the warden's clerk, recognized
him as an old schoolmate.
Gardner was in the university of
Washington last year and the year be-
fore He was best known as an ath-
lete, and played on the second eleven
of that institution. He forsook text
books and pigskin for a Jimmy and
dark lantern last summer. Since then
he has been professional crook and
has done much work. When he faced
McGlinn in the penitnetiary office his
nerve never forsook him, and he denied
the identity which he had carefully
concealed from the sunny afternoon
when the determined sergeant made
him look down the muzzle of big re-
volver while he fixed the handouts on
his wrists.
Gardner. the student, and Adams
the burglar, were the same man i'll
every sense of the word. There was
no sudden fall from honesty. The
young man who went into the classes
with his fellows and battled with them
canvas-clad on the gridiron was a
thief. In class room or gymnasium
he was continually concealing some
criminal, for the authorities were
working hard to find the man respOn-
cloak rooms and lockers. Finally the
matter was traced down to him and he
was told to leave the institution. 1t
was all done quietly, and some time

Mulin of Spokane in the sixth round
of what was to have been a 20-round
go before the Lewiston Athletic club
last night. Mullin was severely pun
ished in the fifth round and barely es-
capped Knockout In the sixth Reilly
went after his man, swinging heavy
rights and left upper cuts that soon
stretched Mullin out on the canvas.
The contest was pulled off in the
opera house and was witnessed by a
large crowd of Lewiston sports. Five
ounce gloves were used and hitting in
the clinches allowed which gave Reilly
the advantage Mulln adopted his
crouching position and by swift foot
work saved himself the first four
rounds but Reilly kept after him and
succeeded in breaking down his de-
Tense in the fifth, landing several hard
blows about the body and face. At the
end of the round Mullin was in a bad
way.
Several good preliminaries We're pull
