CURED Monday night when the home
Of George Peringer on Lewis street,
was visited by a man who got away
before his identity could be learned.
According to Mr.. Peringer he was
awakened shortly after midnight by
hearing the sound of window being
opened on the lower floor. He arose
hastily and went down stairs. He
then sought for his pistol, which was
locked IN the drawer of a desk. How
ever. 'Nr 'r" wcr was locked and as he
had neglected to don his trousers Mr..
Peringer was forced to return upstairs
for his key. In making his way about
the house .he says he thoughtlessly
turned on an electric light, which he
believes caused the burglar to flee.
The intruder had made a hole in
the screen over n window by using
had then unfastened the screen and
raised the window. Whether or not
the fellow had gotten into the house
Mr.. Peringer does not know.
1t was fortunate for the robber that
the owner of the house did not find
his gun with more celebrity, for Mr..
Peringer says 1t was his intention to
"graze" his visitor had he been able
to get a shot at him.
From the fact that the Peringer
burglar was busy on the same night
that Lee Teutsch's house was robbed,
1t is possible he was one and the same

SEWELL FLED To
AVOID ARREST
ALLEGED ENIBEZZLER is
FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE.
1t is Now Positively Known That He
Feared Investigation and Left City
Without Telling Closest Friends of
His Observation-Disclosures Trying to
Locate Him-Believed He Is on
Canadian Soil-No New Develop
ments Concerning Alleged Shortage.

That w. ]. Sewell, the missing man.
ager of the Potlatch Lumber company,
was known to be fleeing from the city
when he left here Saturday has come
to light today. This morning James
Spence, a bosom friend of the man
who has been charged with embez-
element, declared he knew at the time
that Sewell was leaving to avoid ar
rest, and he hoped he would do so.
In his opinion Sewell will not be found,
though he declares that the fugitive
told no one here where he was going
That Sewell had several hundred
dollars as getaway money when he
left here is declared by those who
knew him. Just before leaving he is
said to have been given 500 by An
ton Nolte, to whom Sewell gave his
shotgun. 1t is also said that another
local man gave Sewell $500 not long
ago.
Thus far no trace of Sewell has been
secured by the sheriff and there are
many who believe that his capture
will be difficult. If it is true that he
was intending flight when he left
Saturday morning he would have had
three whole days start before any
warrant for his arrest was issued.
This would have given him time to
reach Canada and it is possible he is
now on British soil. One local Off
cial declared his belief that he will
go to England.
This afternoon Mr.. Kendall, man.
ager of the yards for the Potlatch
company, said nothing further had
been discovered regarding Sewell's
shortage with that company.

Answers Description.

Lowell Lopghary, who was formerly
county judge of Yamhill county, Ore,
but who is now practicing law in AL
buquerque, had learned of the mys-
terious disappearance of Cecil Brit
tan and instituted an investigation re-
garding the identity of the child
brought to the Mexican city. He sent
TO Walla Walla for a photograph of
Cecil, and after receiving the same
visited the boy and satisfied himself
that the story told by the man who
claimed to be his guardian, was un-
true and that the little fellow was the
original of the picture which had
Been received from Walla Walla.
Numerous Letters Received.
\ number of letters have been re-
ceived by the boys parents from par
ties in every section of the United
States making inquiry in regard to
the description of the boy and the cir
cumstances of his disappearance and
suggesting that they might be able to
give some information as to his
whereabouts, but the letter of Mr..
Loughary contains what might be
termed the only information of a def
mite character.
If Mr.. Loughary is successful in
securing Cecil Britain there is no
doubt but what the $1,000 for the re-
ward can be raised. Even in the
event that Mr.. Britain did not have
the money, there are enough interest
ed citizens in Walla Walla who would
gladly contribute enough to make up
the necessary amount if the child is
produced

IN Face of Strong Opposition

Such was the race from a mere
casual historians standpoint. But
Mrs. Robinson tells a more inter
esting tale OF the ocean trip. It
was a lucky thing for her that she
was a good sailor, that she had
been accustomed 10 the water and
tu small boats since she was little
girl. for the Gauntlet ran into an
easterIy storm that amounted TO
almost a hurricane, and many eX-
perienced members of the Brook
lvn Yacht Club feared that the
sloop would never weather it.
When Mrs. Robinson suggested 10
her husband that she wanted very
much to 60 with the Gauntlet in
the ocean race he did his best TO
dissuade her. II was true that he
had promised that she should go
before they were married, but
man Is not always 10 be held re-
sponsible for what ne promises be-
fore marriage. Then. too, her
parents offered a firm resistance,
and the race committee of the
Brooklyn Yacht Club shook their
heads over the possibility of
woman's making the perilous trip.
But. Notwithstanding the Opposi-
ton which she encountered, Mrs.
Robinson won her point and proved
herself a plucky sailor lass.
Mrs. Robinson is, after all, a
mere girl, scarcely twenty years
old. She is a little woman, but
like many little women. very de-
termined. She stands only five feet
in her stockings. But she is ex-
tremely athletic and withal strong.
For years before she was married,
as Thora Lund. she sailed an eight
een-fOOt knockabout near Amboy
and made herself a reputation for
being a fearless sailor in ali kinds
of weather. But it is improbable
that she ever made II trip of such
evident danger as the one recently
completed in the Gauntlet.

Pennsylvania Railroad company hled
a separate answer to the equity suit
brought by Attorney General Carson
to abolish the practice of collecting
a $40 rebate on every $40 mileage

The company admits that If the
ticket is lost it will not be replaced
or value refunded. The company as

much caution against the loss of the
ticket as any other personal property
The answer says the manner of OBJ
tanning the refund money is easy
