BONITA'S CHILD
IN SPOKANE
WOMAN SHOT AT STANDPOINT
REFUSED TO GIVE AWAY HER
CHILD, WHICH rs CARED FOR
IN SPOKANE.

Bonita Carlson, the woman employ
ed in the Owl dancehall at Standpoint,
who Monday night was shot three
times by Roy Murphy. who then blew
out his own brains, is we'll known in
Spokane. Murphy is a gambler and
was married to the woman. They
have two children in this city, one a
baby girl. now being cared for at
the Crittenden home. The other child
is living with the folks of the suicide.
Just few days before the fatal
shooting occurred the woman visited
her children in Spokane. She came
here in response to a letter from the
Crittenden home, saying a person
wished to adopt the child. Bonita
Carlson came to the city with the
firm determination of allowing her
child to be adopted. The sight of it
was too much for the mother and she
told the people who were caring for
the baby that it was too much for a
mother to do and that she could not
think further of the matter.
Then she returned to the life she
had been leading. There is still hope
that she may survive the tragedy.

GREAT M01THERN EMPLOYEES
N HILLYARD SHOPS FEAR RE-
SUIT or NEW ORDER REDUC-
ING THE HOURS OF WORK PER
DAY,

There is promise of stirring times
at Hillyard within the next few days
and 1t looks very much as though
the Great Northern shop officials were
trying to force the hand of the rs
men who went out or struck for
longer hours two weeks ago. Notice
was posted at the shops last night
stating that until further notice
blacksmiths, boilermakers, machin-
lists and those in the tinshop would
work but eight hours day, getting
the same rate per hour. Following
the recent cut in the hours worked
by men in other departments it would
indicate a great lack of business to
keep the men employed. Employees
claim the officials want to see how
far they can go and behind 1t all are
contemplating a reduction in wages
all along the line. Heretofore the
hours worked each day have been
nine. Some Of the force at Hillyard
is working eight hours day and
only getting in Ave days a week.

A BOTTLE Of TROUBLE E

said Horace savagely. Just under
stand that I don't intend to marry
any princess"
when thou hast seen thy brides
projections thou wilt need no com
pulsion," said Fakrash. "And If thou
shouldst refuse, know this: that thou
wilt be exposing those who are dear
to thee to calamities of the most I'M
fortunate description"
+ The awful vagueness of this threat
completely crushed Horace. Give me
time" he said heavily. II want to
talk this over with you"
Pardon me, Ventimore," said the
professor, with acldulous politeness,
but, interesting as the discussion of
your matrimonial arrangements is to
you and your--protector, I should
greatly prefer that you chose some
more fitting place for arriving at a

stances, foregone conclusion"

ace, between his teeth. ut is quite

JAPANESE SPIES
FOOL 'EM ALL

TOXIC, Feb. T.-Never was one
country more thoroughly posted on
circumstances and purposes of an
enemy than Japan is on Russia, and
was for long time prior to the
declaration of hostilities. The intel
ligence department of the japanese
war office is superb-it distances Rus
sia's famous third section" and works
under circumstances that act to pecul-
lar advantage.
Let a Jap shave his little mustache,
allow his hair to grow and braid a
false queue into it, dress him in Chi
nese garments, and how many Euro
peans or Russians could tell him from
the real coolie? The experiment has
been made in thousands of cases and
today in the Russian camps along the
TransSiberian railway, in Port Arthur
Vladivostok and all through Manchuria
are patriotic Japs disguised as laborers
who soak up information as the sponge
does water.
The Japs worked along this system
to great advantage against the Chinese
during the war of 1895.
Japan knows Russia's weakness and
her strength, even as the average
Russian does not know it. On the other
hand, Russia has not the means 70
ascertain the strength and weakness
of Japan so readily, although it is
probable that the Russian intelligence
department is pretty well equipped
with information.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l7.-From
an humble position in the servants
quarters of millionaire's home to that
of wife of the wealthy owner is the
transition that makes simple Mary
Comey wonder if it is all dream.
Mary Comey came from Ireland five
years ago, one of the tgreenest" of
green country girls. She landed at
Philadelphia and applied to an en-
ployment agency for work.
The family of John Lucas, the paint
king, who lived at 2549 North 18th
street, needed a maid. Mary was sent
out.
''She won't do" said the housekeeper
for Lucas was widower. "But, poor
creature, we'll try her and give her
home for the present"
So Mary Comey entered the Lucas
home. Her rich Irish brogue attracted
the millionaire's attention and he liked
to hear her talk. But no one noticed
any other attentions from the 70-year-
old man. Two years ago she left the

are the life, the vitality, the energy

1t is the nerves that cause the heart

stomach to digest food. the liver to
secrete the bile, the kidneys to filter
the blood, and the bowels to carry

When the nerves Of the stomach be-

LAW OF LANDLORD
AND TENANT GIVEN

A unanimous decision of the SUI
preme Court, written by Justice Hart
well, overrules defendants exceptions
to verdict for plaintiff for S4467.2O, the
amount claimed, in the suit of NJ v.
Silveira VS.. L. Ahlo. Robertson &
Wilder for plaintiff; Castle & With
ington for defendant. The syllabus of
decision is as follows:
"A lessor by declining rent for two
months after the burning off of the
buildings on the leased premises, there
being about five years unexpired on
the term of the lease, and by telling
the tenant that he would give him a
new lease for longer term. but with
out mentioning the rental or the length
of the term, is not estopped from claim
ing the rental on the existing leases
after offering a new lease to the ten
ant which the tenant declined; nor is
the lessor thereby estopped from de-
nying that the leases had been sur
rendered.
1.-The lessor. by granting a lease for
fifty years to third person subject to
the existing leases, does not thereby
grant to such third person the right to
the rental for the residue of the terms
of the prior leases.
1.-THE defendant having shown a lease
of the premises demised to him made
by the plaintiff to a third person for
a term OF fifty years, the plaintiff may
place in evidence an unrecorded
certificate by the new lessee that he
took his lease subject to the former
leases.
The destruction of the buildings on
the leased premises ordered by the
Board of Health does not operate as
a surrender of the lease, the lessee not
having taken steps to surrender it,
