superior court on the charge pre-
ferred. BY the time the case came
for trial before Judge Gillian of
Seattle, sitting temporarily in Spo-
kane, more facts came to light,
showing that for some months King
had supported the entire family
and apparently took as much inter-
est in it as the legal head of the
household should have taken. At
kinson came on and pressed tho
charges. The prosecuting attor-
ney's Office pleaded for leniency and
Judge Gillian felt that King was
doing something commendable,
even though he may have lived
wrongly with the woman. He fined
King $40 and costs.
Later Mrs. Atkinson obtained a
divorce. She could not legally re-
marry for six months and it was
agreed that King should remain

DEADLY ASSAULT

w. c. Gibson, the man who is ac-

over the head with a piece of wagon
axle in Dunn's saloon last June, ap-

ON INFORMATION

Kaleidoscope moves were made
in the Messner, Prall and FranZen
cases this morning. The prosecut-
ing attorney confessed to the posi-
ton taken by the demurrer, asked
for the dismissal of the two cases
of conspiracy against the defend
ants and filed informations charg-
ing in different language the crime
charged in the indictments. Pleas
of not guilty were entered in all
three cases.
The gist of the charge is that the
trio named conspired to defraud DR..
Mary A. Latham out of property
and also conspired to obstruct the
course of justice in getting the con
victed arsonist out of the jurisdic-
ton of the court.

II. l.. King, who is working with
the Great Northern steam shovel
gang near Hillyard, has a fine of
500 hanging over his head, con-
ditioned on his paying a stipulated
sum each week for time toward
the support of his child by Mrs.
Lena Atkinson.
The troubles of King began some
months ago. He had taken up with
Mrs. Atkinson at Hillyard and they
were living as man and wife, to the
standardization of the community.
They brought charges against King
for living in adultery, it being
known that Mrs. Atkinson had a
husband in Rochester, Mimi, and
was by him the mother of four
children. After the arrival of the
King baby in the household the
Hillyard folks took proceedings.
