Coyote Roundup.

There will be a bowling time about
the first of October when it is pro-
posed to organize coyote drive. All
who care to engage in the sport are
to be invited and the definite plans
will be made known later. This will
be called the first annual coyote drive
and is intended to inaugurate the an
nual custom of securing the country
with a view to exterminate the gray
coated ventriloquists of the plains" or
at least those that infest this section
of the country. The coyotes abound
in great numbers in the hills about
Washtucna and they are a menace to
the sheep and poultry raisers. A boun-
ty of one dollar per scalp is offered
by the state. The plan for the drive
will be worked out by some of the To-
cal hunters and will be published In
the Enterprise in due time.-Wasn-

List and Called In Courts.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. AIRS.
Mrs Cox, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Pierson,
Mrs. Maloney and Mrs. Helper awoke
in Moyamensing prison this morning
and found herself alone. Not one of
her eight husbands, who are all alive,
had come forward to offer the $500
bail which holds her on charges of
bigamy and perjury.
Elmer Smith, husband No. 8, who
is good at mathematics, has prepared
a table, proving that Mrs. Helper
took eight husbands in seven years.
Below are the names and year of
marriage:
George Neithercott, Elkton, Md,

MARRIED 500 GIRLS.
Witzhoff, Head of Syndicate, Welded
at Least so.

NE WORK, Sept. A former
wife of DR.. George A. Witznoff, the
arch bigamist, identified his picture as
being that of a man who, under many
names had married at least twenty
girls from the east side, and who was
one of many men who for years had
been marrying women for the purpose
of robbery.
There were in the number of men
menhrdlushrdlu hrd1uetaoin snrdl |
VINO made up the marriage syndicate
of which WITHHOLD seemed to be the
head. at least twenty seven members.
They have married during the last
few years at least 500 girls, and that
in every case the wives were deserted
at the earliest possible moment after
their money and jewels had been
taken.
The woman who identified a picture
of DR.. WITHHOLD as the man who
married ner and then deserted her at
ter taking about $500, is Sophie
Voucher. who, when Lawyer Franklin
showed her a picture taken in Min
neapolis of WITHHOLD, said that it was
without doubt the photograph of her
missing husband.
Miss Youcker said she knew that
after he assumed at different times
the names of Abraham Kreiger, Horo-
WITT, Glucker, Schwartz Cohen,
Calm. Goldstein and Stein, and that
under one or the other of these
names he married different girls, only
to rob and desert them.
Those marriages were all arranged
through a schatchez or marriage
broker. The broker participated IN
the plumber and was one of the gang.
| The plumber reached at least $25,OOO.
A man known as Harry Hartmann
assisted WITHHOLD in his schemes, she
said. and the two had been making a
wholesale business of marriage, ROB-
berry and desertion for years.
DR.. Witzhof was further identified
as Frederick A. Schote, a native OF
Neufchatel, Switzerland.
Marie Obermayer, now living at NO.
1913 Washington avenue, Duluth, says
she is sure she was married a rev
years ago to Witzhof, who, she says
deserted ner six days after the we'd

mayer says she gave her husband $2SO

MANY NEGLECT TO RECORD
! MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES
IN WALLA WALLA,
Subject to Fine of $300-Twenty-F Five
Certificates Still Unre-
corded.

According to County Clerk Dorsey
Hill, 25 marriages have taken place
in Walla Walla within the past three
years, returns of which have not
been filed with the clerk of the court
as provided by law. AS a result of
this dereliction of duty on the part
of several reverend gentlemen, they
are laying themselves liable to a fine
Of not less than $25 and not more
than $500 for each offense.
A marriage certificate was filed a
few days ago, REGARDING a marriage
that took place in 1893. TT is nee
essary that marriage certificates be
recorded, not only for the statistical
value but for the 81 fee that goes
to the county," Clerk Hill said this
morning. I'm most cases failure to
record certificates arises through for
getfulness, although the law recog-
nizes no excuses. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that many ministers are not aware
that heavy penalty is provided for
failure to record certificates. The law
specifically states that certificates
must be recorded within three months
after the date of the ceremony

UP TO COMMISSIONERS TO PRO-
VIDE PLACE OF SAFETY FOR
PRISONERS.
Probably a New BastiIe May be
Erected So as Provide Office
for Sheriff.

The county commissioners at this
weeks session will probably take
steps to either order the old county
Jail repaired or else consider the pro-
position of building an entirely new
Jail on the west side of the court house
square. The need of a new Jail and
additional quarters for several OF thu
county officers have been so apparent
the past year that the commissioners
have about decided to take the matter
up and dispose of it the best way they
can.
The old Jail is in about the worst
possible condition it could be. The
Old steel work is Anticipated and In
such condition that it is necessary to
provide a permanent guard to keen
watch over the twenty odd prisoners
confined in the Jail during the night
time. This is costing the county in the
neighborhood of SIS month and a
good deal of worry on the part Of the
officers who never know when a
break for liberty may be made by
several Of the more desperate priso-
ners.
When the question of new Jail Is
brought up the commissioners may de-
eide to construct an entirely new
building to be used for Jail purposes
and offices for the sheriff and depu-
ties. BY doing this the present offices
occupied by the sheriff could be uti-
LIED by the county clerk and clerk Of
the court, which would not only facil-
itate the handling of court matters but
would provide additional room for
the county treasurer's office II a
new building is decided upon it has
been suggested to erect a two story
structure and place the Jail quarters
on the upper floor, using the ground
floor for offices for the sheriff and his
force. In many counties where the
Jail is separate from other buildings
this plan has been adopted and found
to work admirably BY placing the
Jail on the upper floor the chance of
designing persons getting articles to
prisoners is eliminated to a great de-
gree and also the chances of Jail
breaks are greatly lessened.

Three Pittsburg Frauds Are Closed Up
by Suspicious Treasurer.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 4.-Scores Of
people congregated around the WASH

Gated the offices of the Duquesne Mu-

were appointed, but none of the off,
GERS nor directors could be found.
The offices of the companies, which.
in reality are one, were deserted, all

thing else having been removed during
the night.
1t is said that the outstanding poll

losses amount to over $4,000, to pay
which there is nothing but some
worthless mining stocks.
The whereabouts of Frank D. Dun

directors of the companies against
whom informations for embezzlement
have been made is unknown.
