Her Steady Diet.

1t was Nov. 10. For seven weeks
Mrs. Symmington had been killing of
the surplus young roosters from her
flock and eating them. Now, with the
light of desperation in her face, she
loaded six Of them, dressed, into the
old buggy, put basket of eggs under
the seat, and set off for Belltown Gen.
ter, determined to trade all six if nee
essary for mess of plain corned beef.
AS she passed the orthodox"
church three women emerged from
the basement and hailed her.
20 Mary Symmingtonv' they cried.
@'Are you coming to our church sup
per?'
"Whoa?" she said. when is it?'
Tonight, in the town hall. It's 25
cents"
Mrs. Symmington nodded acquies-
cence. Here was something better than
she had hoped for.
''Of course I'll come" she said. ''I'n
go back for my men-folks. What you
going to have"
Three eager women gathered breath
for simultaneous glad cry. 1t came
an instant later:
Chicken pie! Plenty of chicken pie
for everybody"

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS cF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
Woman Is Found Guilty-Dora La
Pine is Convicted of Manslaughter
Killed Her Husband-Case Will
Be Appealed to Supreme Court.

Dora La Pine has been convicted OF
manslaughter in the first degree fol
the shooting and killing OF her hus-
band, Joseph La Pine. The tragedy
occurred on Feb. last at resort
conducted by the couple at Lake Her
man, Lake County.
This was the first murder trial In
the history of Lake County, and for
this reason 1t attracted a great deal
Of attention, the court room at all
times during the trial, being packed
with dense mass of humanity. Eff
forts will be made to secure a new
trial for the defendant, and If these
fail an appeal will be taken to the
state supreme court.
The dramatic feature of the trial
was the appearance on the witness
stand of the defendant in her own
behalf. According to her testimony
she, while a poor servant girl, had
loved La Pine not wisely but too well,
and had been dragged to the depths
of degradation by him. She testified
that she is 3S years of age and ma
tive of Germany. She was bereft OF
her parents when months old, and
while yet child was sent to her
brother, who resided in New York
City.
She testified that on the evening of
the homicide La Pine attacked her in
her room. He had her PROSTATE on a
couch with his knee on her chest, one
hand choking her and with the other
beating her about the head and face,
when she CHANGED to think of a re-
volver which was under the couch.
Securing the weapon, according to her
story, she fired twice La Pine arose
and picking up beer bottle was
about to strike her with 1T when she
fired the third shot. With the words,
Dora, you have shot me-" La Pine
ceased his attempts to injure her, stag
gered to the door Of the room and out
into the dance hall, where he fell dead
on the floor.
The La Pines were thrifty and had
accumulated a considerable property
during their residence in Lake County.
Their property consisted Of the house
at Lake Herman, fine residence at
Madison valued at $4,000, which they
rented; a half section of Lake County
farm land valued at $4,000 and a
snug sum of money in bank. The
lowest estimates placed their wealth
at $4,000 at the time of the tragedy.
La Pine was strenuous 'booze
fighter" and was in an intoxicated
condition practically all of the time.
At the time of the tragedy he was
practically a physical wreck.

of Stanley County lands, who have

pie finding temporary quarters for
their families and supplies until they

turesome ones are pulling their
wagons across by hand and leading
