DESERTED HER CHILD.
Has Eight Others Left But Is Sent to
the Penitentiry.

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec NV H.
Haskell, warden of the Kansas peniten-
tiary, has received as a prisoner Mrs.
Florence Jones whom he was reluctant
to accept and an effort will be made to
have her released as soon as possible.
Mrs. Jones is the mother of nine child
rem and is about to give birth 70 an
other. The prison officials are of the
opinion that it would be inadvisable
that she remain in the penitentiary.
Warden Haskell received her after
consulting the attorney general by tele-
phone. He advised that she be cared
for temporarily, as there is nothing in
the statutes by which he could refuse
her.
Mrs. Jones was convicted of child de-
sertiOn in Usage county. It is said
that she persisted in placing her young
est child, fifteen months old, in the
yard of a neighbor; that she left the
infant under a tree, and that it had to
be cared for in the poOrhouse. The
Kansas statutes provide that any
parent who abandons a child or ex-
poses it on the street or in a field
shald be imprisoned in the county jail
for not less than six months or con-
fined in the penitentiary from one to
five years The commitment papers
brought along by Sheriff F. W. Hard
ing for the Incarceration of Mrs. Jones
say she is sentenced to the penitentiary
to be discharged according to law"
This kind of a commitment is not regu-
lar and the woman could probably be
released by habeas corpus proceedings
if her case was taken into court
The husband of Mrs. Jones is a farm
err and is said to own eighty acres of
land. Her case is an unusual one, and
the prison officials probably will ask
the governor to pardon her if the Usage
county officials refuse to take her back

Saves Gold With Secret Brew.
Denver-Proving by tests that he
does work for 80 cents ton and gets
an increase of 20 per cent in value, d.
Robertson, a Leadville negro miner,
has invented a chemical process for
the reduction of ores which promises
to revolutionize the industry. What
his process really is, states an assay
er who has undertaken to solve the
puzzle, is a concentration scheme that
is meritorious for the reason that none
of the values are lost in securing the
concentrates. Robertson cannot eX-
plain the chemical reactions which
form such an important part of his
process. All he knows is that he puts
in so much of this, so much of that,
and so much of something else, COOKS
ore samples in the solution and after
the LIQUID is drained off he has MS

ide nitric acid sodium hydroxide and
sulphate of iron are dumped into the
assayer's kettle with the ore, the TEN
perature is raised and lowered fol
three hours. When the mixture Il
boiled, a secret compound is stirred
in, the values are precipitated to TIL
bottom, the liquid is drained off ant
the residue holds the values.

Attorneys Big Fee.

Fees aggregating between $40,0 900
and $50, 600 will accrue to Nash &
Nash, attorneys of Spoknae, as the re-
suit of decision handed down in the
state circuit court of appeals at San
Francisco in the case of W. J.. Tull,
Dora May Seeley and Ernest B. Tull
versus Lucius b. and Lucius G. Nash.
The firm represented the six Tull
children in litigation brought to secure
a more equitable artition of the estate
of the late w. l.. Tull of Spokane than
was contemplated in Mr.. Tull's will.
The principal asset Of the estate was
an interest in the Marion block on
Riverside avenue and Stevens street,
which was valued for the purpose of
the action at $275,000.
A decision was secureud giving the
children one half of the property, in
Guiding the revenues accruing since
the litigation commenced. or this the
court granted Nash e. Nash $4,000 as
remuneration for services as guardians
and attorneys for the minor children.
They set up the contracts calling for
80 per cent of the sum granted by the
courts to William Tull and 35 per cent
of the amount awarded to Dora May
Seeley, daughter. The contracts
were disputed, but the attorneys have
partly established their claim the
charge against Mrs. Seeley's interest
being reduced to % per cent, and the
lower courts decision being reversed as
to Ernest B. Tull.
