STATE POINTERS

Arthur Hauerbaek, Democratic county
clerk of Whitman county, has been found
to be $1,000 short in his accounts. He
has resigned and has asked the county
commissioners to promote his deputy, Har-
ry Debuse, to the position of county clerk.
Since his election in 1902 he has been going
fast pace drinking and gambling. Twice
he has been found to be short in his
accounts, and twice the matter has been
settled without prosecution, the first time
by prominent Democrats and this time
by an agreement between his chief deputy,
who becomes county clerk and the coun-
ty commissioners. His popularity as an
athlete and graduate from Whitman col
lege elected him to office by a large
majority over his Republican rival, and
it was through the ntercession of the
college faculty that he escaped prosecu-
ton.

he finally landed in the Occur d'Alene dis

cules mine. In order to settle the estate
of the late Dr. Murphy it was necessary
to prove that Thomas Murphy was dead
or find him. John Stout, his half-brother,
set out to do this, searching every mine
in Montana and interviewing many men
bearing the name of Murphy, but to no
avail. Making up his mind to drop the
matter for while, Stout drifted into
the Hercules mining camp and went to
work, where he was astounded one day
by being informed by a Murphy with
whom he was working that DIR. Murphy Of
st. Paul was his father. The two left

Guerety-- M eek.

Mr.. James NJ. Guerety and

mony, which was Witnessed by
only the relatives and a few in
innate friends of the contI acting
parties, haying been performed
by Rev. L. W. Lewis, pastor of
the First Metodist church.
The bride is the scion of an old
and distinguished family, being
the daughter of the late Col. S..
M. Meek, who at one time was
regarded as one of the leading
criminal lawyers of the State,
and a niece of the late Prof. b
+. Meek, who for "a number of
years prior to his death was a
member of the faculty of the
University of Alabama and who
occupied prominent place in
the world of letters. Being the
descendant of such distinguished
ancestors it is no wonder that the
young lady should possess many
charms and accomplishments,
and has large circle of
friends and admirers. Mr.. Guere-
ty, who is native of Philadel-
phia, has for several years past
been a member of the hospital
staff at the A. and NJ College,
but has recently resigned, and
the newly married couple will
make their future home in New

probably take their dep arturo

friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Guerety
in extending congratulations and
best wishes for long and happy
married life.

Cabins Burned.

Three cabins near the old en-
campment grounds in the north
eastern portion of the city were
destroyed by fire at an early hour
last Sunday morning. One OF
the buildings was the property
Of DR.. Jro. A. Brown, and the
other two were owned by negroes,
one having belonged to Beaure-
gard Pollard and the other to q
negro named Booker.
An alarm was turned in and
the fire department responded
promptly, but owing to the re-
mote neighborhood in which the
cabins were situated it was i'm
possible to secure water from any
of the city hydrants, and the best
the department could do was tc
prevent the fire from spreading
beyond the buildings which sue
cumbed to its ravages.
