HARRISON WENT TO JAIL
Convicted Of Beating His LandIady
and Is Fined $40 and Costs.

Getting out with the boys and spend
ing his money for booze" instead OF
paying his 1andlady, Mrs. Henry Stahl.
$26 that he owed her for board and
lodging resulted in w. M. Harrison, the
painter, arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Haviland at Ritzville, being convicted
in Judge Huffman's court this after
noon. The court sentenced Harrison
to pay a fine of $40 and costs, which
will probably bring the amount close
up to $10O. He was shy the amount
and will probably spend the next
month in the county Jail. Harrison
admitted that he had acted indiscreet.
He said that he had been running with
a pretty wild set of boys and that the
money he mad saved up to pay Mrs.
Stahl had been "blowed" in. He was
ashamed to face her and concluded to
duck" to some other town and start
in new. He said he expected to remit
the amount to Mrs. Stahl, but the
court took the statement with grain
of salt and placed his fine pretty close
to the limit.

late for explanations and that the war
rant had to be served. Accordingly,
Mr.. Countryman explained to Judge
Frost tnat it was all joke, and that
the Joke was on him. On the payment
of costs the matter was dropped.

ZEALOT DIES ON CROSS.
Religious Frenzy Leads to Crucifixion
of Penitente.

OF Pentente.
TRINIDAD, Col, April 27.-On the
cross, just as the Savior died centuries
ago, a fanatical member of the Peni-
tentes is reported to have died at
Torres, Las Animas county, Col.
Several Trinidad people claim to
have been among the eyewitnesses, but
they agreed among themselves not to
talk for publication, so the details are
not yet known.
According to the report current here
however, the victim was nailed to a
cross of his own formation and died in
agony that he did not seem to feel,
wrought up as he was to a delirium of
religious fervor.
The story of the crucifixion is
vouched for by Henry D. Robinson, an
automobile agent of this city, VINO saw
the crowd of Mexicans who had been
eyewitnesses and were discussing the
tragic scene.
In the old days, it is said the carry
ing out of an actual crucifiXion was
not uncommon among the Penitentes,
but it was supposed to have been aban-
ioned long ago, although it is known
that the practice of self-torture is still
carried out among the members of the
order during Holy Week.
