TWO YOUNG CRIMINALS GIVE THE ENTIRE POLICE FORCE MERRY CHASE

John Mardelin. aged II years. and
Tom Derfeser. aged IL years, snatched
purse this noon from Mrs. Harry
Williams. Of MN and Dean. while she
was crossing the Howard street
bridge.
The youthful desperadoes saw the
lady coming and with deeply laid
plans knelt down beside an obliging
pillar Of the bridge until she was
opposite them, when they sprang up
on Der. One held her firmly while the
Other snatched the purse from her
hand.
The woman's screams attracted the
attention Of a boy who was riding
past on wheel and he took after the
boys. who were frightened and threw
the purse into the street. He then
rode to the police station and put in
the report of the holdup.

young criminals plunged into the
angry rapids. Young Mardelin went

Denegre came to his aid. They reach

youngest lad, overcome with fear,
crawled into a pile of rubbish near
the brewery and 1t was with difYiculty
the police got him out. The other
youngster ran around the loose lum-
ber where no man would be safe in
making his way.
They lead the police merry chase.
Officer Lawson was the first man to
appear on the scene He fired several
shots to frighten the boys, but 1t

collars and making the air blue with
swear words he was reinforced by
four officers. The patrol, containing
the chief, thundered down Howard
street to the place Of the trouble.
The station had called in all the re-
cruits and those who were not detail

themselves in readiness to be MUSTER
ed out on short notice.
The lads finally decided they had
all the excitement at the expense Of
the police department they wanted
and came out and gave themselves up
to the stern enforcers Of the law.
The youthful bandits are in Jail. No
tears have they shed. They set the
police agog over the most daring
broad daylight robbery ever attempt
ed in Spokane and are satisfied with
their work.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-A correspond
ent Of the Evening Standard at Tien
Tsin wires that he has good reason
to believe, from private information
received, that the Japanese have eff
fected an entrance to Port Arthur.
The fall of the fortress is conse-
quently virtually accomplished He
says the entrance was made by the
way of Itsehan forts. The Japanese
occupied Peyushan and the parade
grounds within the forts at dawn of
August "a, from which they swept
down with unceasing fire throughout
the day. The losses were heavy, but
the courage Of the Japanese was un-
daunted. He adds the Japanese will
not make any announcement until all
the fighting has ended. The publica-
tion of the Standard story of the fall
of Port Arthur has caused consider
able excitement in the streets here.
