AMBITION PUT
ASIDE BY CUPID

Samuel Walker, assistant division
superintendent of the Great Northern
railway, located in Havre, and Miss
Rose Lepper will wed. The formal
announcement OF approaching bliss was
made Monday night at the home of
Mr. and Mrs L. K. Devlin, where
Miss Lepper, sister of Mrs. Deylin
resides.
The reception at which the an
nOuncment was made was of an in
formal character. The guests included
nearly all the young members Of
Havre society and some that have
gray in their hair, but keep youth in
their hearts and never forget their
own cOurtship days.
Miss Lepper is a teacher ia the
Havre public schools and has been en-
gagged to teach another term, but
Cupid is troublesome fellow with a
habit Of upsetting the best LAID plans
OF these young girls. Sam-you know
Sam, like every one else does-he will
keep on working, but the bride to be
will retire for time from the siren
uous life Of teaching the young idea
how to shoot what it can't hit. Miss
Lepper, however, will stick yaliantly
to her post until the Christmas holt
days.
1t is as true as it is trite to say that
what somebody looses somebody else
always gains. Public service will
have distinct loss in the resignation
OF Miss Topper and will feel aggrievied
against this offensive fellow who has
stepped in and took away one of it's
most valued 0tfici ais. Mr.. Walker,
however, is a man who deserves the
best, and everybody in Havre will
stif1e the regrets of old Public Service
and grow congratulatory over this
repeated triumph of Love over
Ambition.

After desperate attempt to escape
the officers of the law by making a
dash down Riverside avenue for two
blocks, yesterday afternoon, James
Cocklin, believed to be one of the
cleverest forgers captured by the To-
cal police In years, was finally taken
into custody.
Cocklin was arrested after having
passed several bogus checks. Officers
Schmidt, Miles and Parish made the
arrest. His capture resulted from
an attempt to pass checks on the
Vega saloon and James Plastino, who
runs a cigar stand and pool room at
116 Stevens street. Plastino called
Officer Schmidt, who placed Cocklin
under arrest. The prisoner and the
officer proceeded to Riverside avenue,
where Schmidt turned in call for
the patrol wagon.
While standing on the corner
Schmidt turned to PIastino for a
moment to ask him something about
the check. Schmidt never thought for
a moment that Cocklin would attempt
to escape. The officer had no sooner
turned his back than Cocklin, like a
flash, turned and ran up Riverside
avenue. Standing with his face to-
ward Cocklin, Plastino first saw him
make his break for liberty, and both
he and officer Schmidt were after him
in a second. Cocklin ran up Riverside
for fully a block before the officer
and Plastino caught up with him.
Plastino then gave Cocklin a push
which sent him to the pavement on
his face. Nothing daunted, the fugi-

City Commissioner ONO stated this

is propose if a satisfactory transfer
of the engine can be made, to pur-
chase new one of the type which
has accommodations for four.

CARRIED A GUN,
WAS SUSPICIOUS

Albert Morgan, charged with act
ing in a suspicious manner and not
being able to satisfactorily account
for having a 1910 Winchester rifle
in his possession, was arrested this
morning by officer Casey while pass
ing down Riverside avenue.
Morgan had attempted to sell the
rifle to officer Stauffer of the Mer-
chants patrol. Officer Stauffer mott
fled the police and Patrolman Casey
was detailed to investigate the case
To officer Casey, Morgan first said
he brought the gun from Seattle, but
afterward stated that friend had
given him the weapon while working
in the harvest fields. He could not
tell the caliber of the gun, and from
the fact that his statements were
conflicting officer Casey placed him
under, arrest until his case could be
further investigated.

model standing in front of P. SAT-

Main avenue.
Olson, accompanied by some COM
panions, had been having little time
about the city and Olson felt pretty
fine. AS he was walking along Main
avenue he spotted the dummy stand
ing by the store. Olson blinked at
the dummy, and the dummy stared at
Olson. Olson didn't like it, so with
one of James Us right swings he
landed on the dummy's nose.
The dummy went down and out
with smashed nose. Saffron, who
runs the store, then ran out and de-
manded $25. He said his model was
spoiled and insisted that he receive
the money. A policeman was called
and the difficulty settled for SO.

the result that Cocklin was caught
while trying to pass another check
on Plastino.
When further questioned about the
check passed at the Vega saloon and

contractor whom he had worked
for at Post Falls. Contractor McFee
was then notified and when he arriv-

the check he stated that the forgery
was almost perfect.
