DR. Mary
SUED by
LAWYERS

DR.. Mary A. Latham may have
cluded the clutches of Sheriff Doak
and may make good her escape. but
she has not escaped from her attor-
neys, who this morning brought suit
in the superior court against her for
legal services for $3.50 and made Il.
M. Hepburn, the well known reformer
and attorney, garnishee defendant.
The attorneys suing are d. w. Henley
and A. G. Kellam. They have filed a
bill of particulars, but do not give
their services in her behalf In the
arson case as any part of the claim
for which they are suing.
DR.. Mary A. Latham had not been
apprehended up to noon today so far
as was known to the Spokane sher-
ifs office, nor had any word of her
exact whereabouts been received. A
story was started and received some
credence to the effect that in the
initial stages of her flight the doctor
had left a farewell message to a ply
stefan friend.
This story originated in an alleged
telegram which had gained some cir
culation among people who have been
discussing the case. A Press reporter
has seen a copy of the telegram.
The message was on the regulation
telegraph blank, but the name of the
addressee had been cut out. The al
legged telegram is probably the result
of the lucubrations of some joker.
The message reads as follows:
THE good doctors who had me dy-
ing and taken into court on stretch
er are entitled to my heartfelt thanks,
and so, while on the wing to escape
officials, l stop long enough to send
this message: My professional breth-
rem and friends, when l think OF the
noble and unselfish action of the good
brother who made me a two-time par
alytic and then fed me on 'strawber-
ries only for weeks. feel that can
never repay the kindness of the pro-
fession. If l am caught / shall ex-
pect you and others of our great pro-
fession to make any statements
necessary to shield me. Inform our
friends that l am feeling well.

That a most searching investiga-

the line of establishing incendiarism.
Investigation already has been made
by interested parties. The facts to

on the day following the fire came to
the conclusion that the spot of the
commencement of the fire was in the
basement among wall paper. easily in
nammable as a starter, but not so de-

been the case with oils and paints
Three of the employees were In the

said to have denied knowledge of its
origin.

Crea entered and told him that the
store was on fire. Mr.. Wright re-
piled: You are joshing."
Ran Dance Hall.
Mr.. Wright's record in business in
Washington will be offered. In 1891
and 1892 he was the proprietor of a
saloon and dance hall in the old town
Of Harrington. He prospered so long
as the old town was the rendezvous
of the railroad construction gang, but
when matters settled down and the
railroad located the new. and present,
town business became lax and there
was little doing in the Wright saloon
and dance hall. The establishment
burned at the low ebb of fortune, and
Harrington people said the origin Of
the blaze was questionable.
Mr.. Wright then came to Spokane
and for time ran an establishment
on Hangman creek. Its chief bust
ness was trying out fats to be used
In the manufacture of soap. The by
products went to the manufacture of
