Former Wa||a Wa||an, Convicted Of
Forgery, Gets Two Years
SENTENCED SATURDAY At NORTH YAKIMA
MAN NAMED AS CORRE-
SPONDENT IN CELEBRATED
WINGARD DIVORCE CASE.

Clarence Brace, formerly an en-
ploye in c.. L. Vineyards electrical
store at IA Second street, and named
as correspondent in divorce proceed
ings brought by Mr.. Wingard against
his wife, was sentenced to serve two
years in the penitentiary for forgery
at Yakima Saturday afternoon.
Brace upon leaving Walla Walla
went to Yakima where he is alleged
to have passed forged check for $50
upon E. NJ Ford. He was arrested and
since then has been confined in Jail
waiting trial which occurred last week,
resulting in his conviction and subse-
auent sentencing to the pententiary
The Yakima correspondent of the Spo-
kane Review in commenting on Braces
case sent the following to his paper:
In Love With Brace.
His case has attracted considerable
attention because of Mrs c. L. Wingard
of Walla Walla, who has recently been
divorced from her husband, has writ
ten that she will marry Brace as soon
as his term expires.
I'm one of her last letters she said
to him: Although convicted of crime
you are the same to me- I proposed to
you before and 1 will do so again.
I'm another letter she stated: I know
how fond you are of pies and if /
thought they would reach you safely
1 would send you some; also some
Strawberries
Authorities declare that she fur
nished money for Braces defense.
Brace and the women came here
from Walla Walla together said Pros
ecuting Attorney Krutz today. we
have conclusive proof that they lived
here in open adultery. and I intend to
prosecute both on this charge. Brace
worked for Wingard at his store al
Walla Walla, became acquainted with
his employers wife and broke up the
home of the man who had befriended
him."

SALOONS LIMITED.
Ordinance That May Prevent for Years
the Increase of Rum Holes.

CHICAGO, H., July 2.-If Mayor
Dunno signs an ordinance which was
passed by the city council Saturday
highland it is expected he will do so
no more saloon licenses can be issued
in Chicago for many a month after
July 81 next. Anybody who wishes to
speculate in such permits must get one
before that date.
The ordinance is known as "the Har-
kin" measure, and its purpose is ulti-
mately to limit the number of saloons
in the city to one to every 500 in
hahitants.
Inasmuch as Chicago, under this
rule, will have to grow to be a place
of S5oooo0 population before more Ii
censes are needed, it is evident, if
the ordinance is sustained by the
courts, that it will be years before any
more licenses can be issued.

BETTER "HANGMAN'S DAY."
Judge Upsets Established Custom, Say
ing Friday Is Not Appropriate.

OMAHA, Neb., July 2.-"The cruci-
fxion of Christ took place on Friday,
and l do not think it appropriate to
set the execution for two murderers
for that day. said Judge Sutton when
he sentenced Jay O'Hearn and Harrison
Clark to be hanged on a Monday. The
statement of the court came as a sur
prise, for it upsets the long established
custom of making Friday 'hangman's
day"
MY reason for fixing Monday,
continued the court, sis that l think
it better to have these men meet death
on the day following Sunday, which is
devoted to religious thought and SER
vices, as they naturally will be in a
better frame of mind to go to their
final reckoning on that day than any
other"

FACTIONS CLASH.
Cummins and Perkins Personally Lead
Contending Forces at RedfieId.


DES MONIES, Iowa, July s.
Great excitement prevails at the re-
publican primary election in Redfield,
Dallas county, this afternoon. Cover
nor Cummins and Judge S F. Prouty
are personally leading the progressive
forces, while George D. Perkins and
a score of railroad workers lead the op-
position. RiOtOus scenes are predict
ed. AT o'clock the governor was en-
gagged in a handshaking campaign all
over the main street of the town. All
business is suspended.
Pandemonium reigned while Perkins
tried to speak before a surging mass
at the public square. Two bands
played vociferously while trying to
drown out each other.
The city of Redfield has 10000 popu-
lation, and upon the results there de-
pends who may carry Dallas county,
the home of former Minister Conger,
Speaker George w. Clarke and Judge
Nichols. who is being groomed for
congress against Hull The whole state
has eyes upon the primary election
there.
At Keokuk this afternoon the Per-
kins men controlled the convention
with a whip hand. The Cummins men
had only twelve delegates and alleg-
ed fraud and bolted, and will send a
conteSting delegation. The grounds
for the contest are the alleged voting
of democrats by Perkins men, alleged
snap caucuses and the alleged illegal
work of the county central commit
tee.
