Guilty. One day he went on an explor-

and after fixing few janitOrs and
getting the friendly aid Of the libra

under the big historic dome. To reach
Buckmans committeeroom it is neces-
sary to go as high as the elevators run;
then penetrate the reference library,
and emerge at the far side. follow a
dark corridor; climb a winding iron
stairway, turn to the left then to the
right, go through a lumber-room, and
into another one-and you are there!
Buchanan says it's a very convenient

was around the courthouse, although
he did not apply for any warrants.

Warrant Is Out.

1t is understood that Eisler has
sworn out a warrant at Pasco for the
arrest of Wright and the two men al
legged to have been mixed up in the
affair which resulted in Eisler losing
$1,342 of his wealth in a red-hot three
card monte game. The warrant has
lin county officers to serve, but it is
doubtful, it is said, if an attempt will
be made to bring the three men back
to Pasco for trial. The arrest of the
three men, it is said, would unearth a
scandal in Pasco that several promi-
nent citizens would not have made
public for mint of money.
Pasco Fellows Get Coin.
AS the story goes, the three men
who are alleged to have f1eeced Eisler
out of his money have been bucking a
hard combination of Pascoites for
some months past. AS fast as the
men would fleece a lamb and get a
piece of money the Pasco fellows have
been taking it away from them and the
high stakes that have been played for
in the little railroad town are said to
have caused even the veteran poker
players to open their eyes in astonish-
ment
After fleeing Eisler out of his
money the three men concluded that
they would not give the Pasco crowd
chance to annex it and left the
country Eisler it is claimed lost his
coin in a legitimate game and that the
only thing that Wright and his pals
