In rendering opinion in the manda-
mus case against Mayor Williams the
municipal judge, executive board and
chief of police of Portland, involving
question of whether these municipal
officers can be compelled to enforce
gambling ordinances of that city, the
supreme court reversed the decision Of
Judges Cleland, Sears and Frazer, Of
the circuit court Of Multnomah coun-
ty, wherein the demurrer of defendants
to the alternative writs of mandamus
was Overruled, holding the same
ground that several causes of action
have been improperly united, but holds
the chief of police to prosecute all per-
sons violating the gambling ordinances
orders to contrary from his superior
officers Notwithstanding. The case is
remanded for a new trial.
feet Chief Justice Moore holds that
the statute of this state makes it the
and diligently prosecute any and all
persons whom he may have reasonable
provisions of an act prohibiting gambl-
ing. The obligation thus enjoined re-
the chief of police to comply with
duty which the law prescribes. A per-
would be as effectual as though the
mayor and executive board were also
commanded to direct him to do the
same thing
AS a writ Of mandamus will not lie
to compel the execution of useless
things. no neco ssity existed for joining
a cause of special proceedings against
the mayor or executive board, dis
charge of whose duties if it be as
sumed they are imperative were not
an Indispensable or successive step in
procedure to suppress evil OF which the
REALTORS complain.
while the legal principle that a
public office" cannot be compelled to
do Il particular act which his superior
in office has lawfully ordered him not
to do is not overlooked by the court
it is held that the assumed or admit
ted conspiracy existing on the part of
the defendants. seeking to raise revenue
by a method tantamOunt to licensing
public gambling, was unlawful and
the chief of police was not bound or
under any obliga ton to obey the or
ders of his superiOrs."

investigation by the county authorities
has brought to light the real secret re-
garding the life of the woman who
died in the county hospital here We'd
nesday nignt after masquerading for
nearly a year as a man and doing
mans work in the railroad shops here.
The story reveals an exhibition Of
maternal love rarely equaled and never
excelled in the history Of this state.
The true name of the woman is Mrs
Nancy A. Hughes, and her former
home is n Carthage, Mo-, where she
has daughter living. 1t was for the
sake of this little girl the mother laid
nally succumbed to the dread disease,
cancer, contracted as the result of her
hard work.
She came to Cheyenne three years
ago with her husband and daughter.
Two years ago Hughes was killed in
an accident in the railroad yards here.
where he was employed, and the widow
expended all Of ner money in defraying
the expenses of the funeral. The lit
tie daughter was sent back to live
with relatives in Carthage. while the
mother sought employment here. Later
the child, as the result of reverses ex
perienced by the relatives, was thrown
upon her own resources and in de-
Spair the mother dOnned male attire
being unable to find employment at
remunerative wages, entered the rail-
road shops here and for several months
worked with the 500 employees of the
Union Pacific and drew wages under
the name of Tom Maxfield, machinists
helper.
AS her health began to fail she was
compelled to give up her position, but
secured work at odd jobs, living in a
little hut near the stockyards. Two
weeks ago ner condition became dang

revealed TO MIN her secret Of her sex.
but still refused to confess her identi
ty for fear her daughter would learn
of her actions. The physician told the
woman the nature of her awful malady
and last Monday she was taken to the
hospital under the name of Tom Max
we'll and died Wednesday night, when
her secret was made public. Not I'M
til later, however, was it ascertained
what a great sacrifice the woman mad
made for love of her daughter, giving
her life in order that she might send
funds to her daughter for her eiu-
cation.
The remains of the woman were in
TERED in the city cemetery here. There
were no mourners, and no services
were read over the grave Of one Of
the worlds martyrs.

the patrons of the place for his big
mouth. When one of them entered last
night he offered to bet the negro he
could not put Il billiard ball in mis-

he came to get it out the ball refused

Sheriff Harris Slayer Arrested.

HACkENSACk. n. j., Aug. 1O.-A
newspaper story is responsible for the
arrest of Bert O. Taylor. alleged to be
the desperate who some time ago shot
and killed Sheriff Harris of ST CrOix
county. at Fan Creek, Wis, and for
whose apprehension a reward of $500
has been offered. Taylor has been
photographed and his picture sent to
the Wisconsin authorities. He is in
Jail here.
Taylor was arrested two weeks ago
in Stamford, Conn, as sneak thief.
a news item of his capture was seen
by local policeman who thought his
description tailed with that Of the
man who on July 8. in the guise of a
telephone ilsI ectOr. robbed the resi-
dence of Dudley Evans here of $500
worth of Jewels. Taylor was brought
to this city and while undergoing the
Bertillion measurement it was discov-
cred that his characteristics were iden-
teal with those of the man wanted at
Fall Creek.

King Sets New Style in Creases.

LONDON. Aug. 10-King Edward S
in a white stovepipe hat
at New Market has given a boom to
that comfortable, but long disused
summer headgear.
But he has introduced far more
revolutionary innovation, novel meth
cd of creasing his trousers. Hitherto
the trouseS creaseS have been down the
front and back, but the king now has
two sets OF cdeases arranged diagonal
ly. so that the trousers hang absolutely
square.
The effect is strange and the only
person SO far to initiate the novelty is
the Prince of Wales, whose admira-
ton for his father is unbounded and
unquestioning.
The dudes are crazy with misgiving
over the double trousers, es-
pecially as a smart court lady is said
to nave observed. It's a very good
fashion for bandy-legged men,"

Turner. with whom l had chummed
down in Alabama in my earlier days.
Turner. in the course of our CONVERSE
ton. asked if l wanted to make a 1T

persuasion l bought 500 shares in the
LIE Roi mine, though against my better
Judgment, for / had had experience
with mining stock before. However,
only paid ten cents share for it, and
thought l would run the risk Per-
haps a year later, when cleaning out

fer $50 cash to a lot of worthless min
ing stock. and l recalled that Turner
had offered to buy my stock back from
me at what it cost, any time l wanted
to sell He was good as his word. Two
or three years went by, and one day
| got a letter from Spokane advising
me that lie Roi was worth $40 a snare
and that there was a good bit of cash
due me in the way of dividends on my
500 shares. Then | realized the folly
of my action, but it was too late. The
mine was sold in England by Senator
Turner, for 100000.
While Paul Morton is secretary OF
the navy, naval officers must pay their
debts or resign for the good of the
service" The first case Of this kind
that came up under the new secretary
was promptly disposed of. An officer
of not very high rank, ran up a large
bill at a prominent club in Savannah,
Ga. He was unable to pay it, but gave
promises These promises We're sue
ceeded by still other promises, and
finally the lrOprietOrS of the club no.
titled the navy department OF the OIL
GERS delinquency. When Secretary
Morton examined into the facts, he
became convinced that this officer had
no intention of settling this bill; in
fact. was a chronic bill jumper, and Mr..
Lieutenant was promptly notified that
his resignation would be accepted. The
navy department is not undertaking to
make itself a bill-collecting agency.
but Secretary Morton does not pro-
pose to have disnonor brought upon the
service by the dishonesty of a few un-
principled men.

afterward died in Alexandria, Egypt,

them to Hitchcock's famous beanery,
