COMMITTED A ROBBERY
AND ATTEMPTED ARSON

Cash Last Night.

party or parties who are as yet
unknown to the authorities. last
| night attempted the commission of
one of the most dastardly crimes on
record in this county, when an eff
fort was made to burn a house in
which a woman and two little chill
dren were sleeping, after robbing the
woman of $3.S00 in money, which
she had inherited from her father in
Germany, and which she was hoard
ing for the purpose of buying a little
home. The woman's name Is Mrs.
Sallie Caller; her husband is Joseph
Caller, and they are living in a
rented cottage on South Seattle ave-
nue., about three blocks west of the
old baseball ground.
The story of the robbery and the
attempt at more serious crime, as
told by Mrs. Caller, Is substantially
as follows:
II was alone In the house last
night. except for the two children.

my husband being in Spokane. I
had in the house $500 in bills,
locked in a tin box. This money was
left me by my father, when he died
in Germany. have carried 1t about
with me for Ave years, and have
never placed 1t in a bank. We have
lived in this house four months, and
the money has been here all this
time. Very few knew of its being
here, but have showed 1t to one or
two persons whom trusted.

about 10 o'clock by the coughing

the danger to the children and my
self. Gathering the two children up
In my arms, l jumped through the
window, and without stopping to
notice the cuts and scratches made
by the glass, / ran to our neighbor,
Mr.. Mcmahon, and woke him up.
They let me in, and then Mr.. Nc
Mahon summoned other neighbors
and went back and put out the fire.
n.r. Mcmahon knew about the money,
and he looked for it at once, but IL
had been taken. The fire did but
little damage. only burning rug
and some articles of clothing"
Neither the authorities nor the
family have the remotest clue that
may lead to the perpetrators of the
robbery. The knowledge of their
having the money being known to
so few may help to solve the mys-
terry; 1t is evident that the crime was
committed by some one who knew
wnere the money was usually con-
cealed. The sum stolen represented
about all that the family had.
They were planning to purchase q
home with 1t, and were only wait
Ing to decide on a location.
Just as The Herald went to press
| 1t was learned that warrant was
about to be issued for the arrest OF
party suspicioned OF connection
| with the robbery. The name, of
course, could not be divulged.

The case of Nevada Lille against
his former wife. Josephine Lille,
wherein the plaintiff sought to es-
tablish title to eighty acres Of land
patented by the United States gov
eminent to the defendant, was de-
cided Saturday In favor OF Mrs. Lii
lie, the court holding that Lille had
no right whatever in the property.
Lille swore that he had made an
agreement with Mrs. Lille where
by he was to get an interest In the
80 acres of land after she should
get a patent from the general gov
eminent The court held that he
dia not find that such an agreement
had been made and even IL 1t had.
he said, II could not be recovered
on, as the act Of congress forbids
such an agreement In another
case brought by Mrs. Lille against
her former husband. in which an In
junction had been issued to prevent
him from interfering with her prop
erty, the injunction was continued
till Anal hearing Is had.

Bad Accident on Selah Grade.

A double runaway occurred on
the dangerous piece OF road known
as the Selah grade last Sunday
afternoon, in which three persons
were injured. Miss Carrie Hoff-
man Of the School Section, who was
thrown onto a pile Of rocks. was cut
deeply over the right eye and sus-
tanned two fractured ribs. Her in
juries were more serious than those
OF her brother. who occupied the
buggy with her, and 1t has not yet
been determined how they will re-
suit. Her brother, Arthur Hoff-
man, was painfully cut about the
head and shoulders, but he is get
ting along nicely. Fred Blair OF
the Selah valley, in attempting to
get clear from the wreckage Of his
buggy, was caught in the running
gear and dragged for quite a dis
lance. He was bruised and cut Sc
verely. but his injuries are not dan
gerous.

to possess, to comprehend or to create
fine things. Yet there is a kind of
ministering beauty which may make
its way everywhere-the beauty which
springs from the hands of our wives
and daughters Without it what is
the most richly decorated house? A
dead dwelling place. With it the bar
est home has life and brightness.
Among the forces capable of trans
forming the will and increasing happi-
ness there is perhaps none in more
universal use than this beauty 1t
knows how to shape itself by means
of the crudest tools in the midst Of
the greatest difficulties. When the
dwelling is cramped, the purse limited,
the table modest woman who has
the gift finds n way to make order.
fitness and convenience reign in her
house. She puts care and art into
everything she undertakes To do well
what one has to do is not in her eyes
the privilege of the rich, but the right
Of all. That is her aim. and she knows
how to give her home dignity and an
attracttveneSs that the dwellings of
princes, If everything is eft to mer-
cenaries, cannot possess.
Thus understood life quickly shows
itself rich in hidden beauties, in at
fractions and satisfactions close ri

natural place the kind of beauty which
is fitting there-this is the ideal. How
the mission of woman broadens and
deepens in significance when it is sum-
med up in this: TO put Il soul into the
1nanimate and to give to this gracious
spirit Of things those subtle and win
some outward manifestations to which
the most british of human beings is
sensible! Is not this better than to
covet what one has not and to give
oneself up to longings for a poor i'm
