GOT RICH QUICK.
A Former S. Week Bartender Wins
Fortune in American Monte Carlo.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 6.-The exact
relationship between Thos. Taggart's
and Sinclair's hotels and the casinos is
difficult to get at. They have secured
continuance until July Is.
Taggart always has declared that
the casinos were separate from the ho-
tells, leased to other parties. The
states attorney general, when he filed
suit to revoke charters of the hotels,
described the land owned by the
French Lick company, of which Tag
CART is president, and then says: "That
said lease was entered into and said
casino was and now is run as gam
bling house, in the manner aforesaid,
with the full knowledge, consent and
connivance of the defendant, its Off
GERS, agents and employees"
sinos are in the names of Robert NJ
Colglazier and Thomas G. Derry, the

ing for So a week and was glad to get
it. He tended bar at that figure until
he was taken up by Lee Sinclair of the
West Baden hotel, when he suddenly
began to blossom forth as an unknown
quantity. He developed the casino
business of both West Baden and
French Lick into what it grew. Then
he spread out, opening places at Hot
Springs, Santa Barbara and Los An

FAKE HERO SUED BY REJECTED GIRL
Man Who Beat and Routed Hired
HoIdups Is Asked to Pay
$4,000.

PITTSBURG, Jply 12-Miss Cert
rude Dennig Of Hannahstown, this
county, has entered suit against
William Wannamaker of Swissvale
charging him with breach of promise
to marry, and demanding $4,000 dam
ages. Miss Dennig is 25 years old
while the young man is 20.
While they were visiting in Lisbon,
Ohio, she alleges that they were walk
ing along the streets one night when
they were encountered by a ho!dup
man who demanded their money or
their life. Wannamaker responded by
jumping into the holdup man and CIV
ing him an awful beating. The next
day man made an insulting remark
to Miss Dennig, whereupOn Wanna
maker again repeated the pugilistic
performance. For this second feat of
bravery Miss Dennig considered him
the greatest hero that ever lived and
was happy.
Soon after these incidents, as the
time arrived for the ceremony, she al
leges that young Wannamaker's love
grew cold. Then, to her dismay, she
discovered that the holdup and the
man who insulted her in the street
had both been paid by Wannamaker
to do the jobs and had been fully pre-
pared for the beatings they received.
Wannamaker denies the charges.

LAND GOES TO SPECTATORS
State Senator Palmer and ASs0Ci-
ates Play Silent Game
GOBBLE UP LAND NEAR WATERV|LLE
THEY ALSO SECURE ABSOLUTE
WATER RIGHTS OF CELE-
DRAFTED SOAP LAKE.

State Senator E. B. Palmer of King
county and a syndicate in sympathy
with him has grabbed all the school
lands surrounding Soap lake, in
Douglas county, and at a semi public
sale on Saturday secured the riparian
rights for portion of the lake during
a period of 80 years.
At neither the sale Of the school
lands nor the disposal of the riparian
rights, claim citizens of Wenatchee,
was the proper public notice given. In
the county treasury at Waterville was
$4,000 in gold ready for deposit by
men anxious to protect the land sur
rounding the lake. The courtroom was
crowded with prospective buyers, led
to believe that the sale would occur
within the courtroom, says the Seattle
Times.
This sale of school lands occurred
last March. when 112 acres were sdNd
TO Palmer and his syndicate at SAP per
acre. d. Gallagher is accused of CIV
ing out the information that the sale
would be held in the courtroom, while
the Palmer syndicate actually pro-
cured the land from a site in front OF
the courthouse. A Wenatchee dis
patch says the sale at Waterville on
Saturday of the Soap lake riparian
rights was as quietly conducted as the
school land deal.
Remarkable Curative Powers.
The waters of Soap lake have re-
markable curative qualities. The
body of water has been known by old
settlers since the days of the earliest
pioneers, and manw of the eastern
Washington people living in the neigh
borhood have been in the habit of
bathing in the waters, camping alone
shore during the time of treatment.
Recently a sanitarium or health resort
was erected near the lake, ana the
place has been advertised extensively
for its advantages.
Past legislatures have attempted to
protect the lake against the raids of
spectators. The waters of the lake
have been reserved to the public and
the people who have known of the
lakes advantages have believed the
resort would probably always remain
free to the public.
Gathered about Soap lake are hun
dreds Of people, many of them in poor
circumstances. who have been treat
ing themselves in the waters of the
lake The story of the waters cura-
tive powers has been handed about so
generally in eastern Washington that
many who have been unable to defray
expenses to more expensive resorts
had fiocked there to what had become
almost a free public sanitarium.
Ultimately the people of the sur
rounding country expected that such
regulations as might be necessary to
protect the lake would be adopted by
state board 1t was planned. and
the legislative intent has always been.
to preserve the lake for the benefit of
the public.

AovER's LANE TO CARLSBAD.
w. w. Anderson Would Like to See
a Pike Lined with Cottonwoods
the Length of the Valley.


w. w. Anderson the real estate
man, comes forward with the ugges-
ton that is undoubtedly a good one.
He suggests that the people of the
Pecos Valley organize in some man.
ner to bring about the construction
of a Lovers Lane" that will extend
from Roswell to Carlsbad. He would
like to see a road extending the
length of the Pecos Valley that would
be as smooth and level and at the
same time be as beautiful to behold
as the famed Lovers Lane east of
town when in its palmiest days.
Mr.. Anderson argues and rightly,
that this monste Improvement could
be secured with little trouble and
small pen to the different individ-
uals by interesting in the move all
the people who live along its course
down the valley. Every public spirit
ed citizen in the valley should be
called upon to help, and if all would
respond, the burden of the cost heed
not fall heavily upon any one contri-
butor. Mr.. Anderson believes that
the water for the trees would be will
lingly furnished by the men who own
the land bordering on the proposed
lane. The % of setting out the
trees would not be so great and the
building of the road itself is no more
than should be in existence now. 1t
would be easily kept in good condit-
ion, for, one established, the farmers
on the route would never consent to
it becoming anything less than a pike
The benefits of this road would be
wonderful. In the first place it would
soon become known all over the Unit
ed States. 1t would be a mark of
beauty that would make the Pecos
Valley famous in III more particu-
lar. Pr~ospectors coming here could
be driven from one end of the Pecos
Valley to the other through Lovers
Lane. and, especially to the rich, ii
would make a desirable impression
that would not wear off. For automo
bilists it would be an ideal road Fol
ordinary travel and hauling it would
have all the advantages of a good
road, with the beauty thrown in.
If any man of push and go" thinks
the plan a good one let him start q
move for the IS mile Lovers Lane.
