DECLARES MARSH PERJURED
HIMSELF AND PREPARES
VIGOROUS DEFENSE.

"Not guilty" was the ringing re-
sponse of A. c. Wimpey, charged with
the theft of three valuable work
horses from DR.. J. A. Gross, made in
Judge Brents' court this morning
when asked to enter a plea to a charge
of horsestealing.
Mrs Wimpey who has an abiding
faith in her husbands innocence, was
in court this morning but left just be-
fore Wimpey was arraigned. Arrange
ments were completed this morning
for Wimpey's release on a $3.50 cash
bond which will probably be furnished
tomorrow when Wimpey will leave his
quarters at the county jail
Marsh Told On Him.
Wimpey was arrested at Starbuck
about 10 days ago on information
furnished by William Marsh, who ac-
knowledged under pressure, that he
and Wimpey stole three work horses
from DR.. Gross several months ago
and sold them to farmers in the vicin-
ity of Lind. Marsh plead guilty and
is now serving an IS months sentence
in the penitentiary.
Wimpey declares that Marsh per-
iured himself in duplicating him in
the hOrsestealing case. He has en-
ployed an attorney and is preparing
a vigorous defense.

The captain, after the regiment left
for American Lake, was detailed to
remain behind as commandant at the

Miss Eva Beller is in the employ of
yourself, or any member of your fam

otherwise.
.'This girl will not be allowed to
work or reside in this post
In reply to the above inquiry and
order, Lieutenant HolcOmb wrote his
superior officer that Miss Eva Beller
is employed by myself and wife as
maid and we have always found her
character beyond reproach. Miss Bel
Ter claims that Mrs. H. P. Howard has
visited her home in Freewater during
the last three weeks and has tried to
induce her to return to work for her.
Miss Beler refused and Mrs. H. p.
Howard told her she could not work
in the post and that she would be
kept off the post by her husbands Or
ders. Mrs. Lieutenant Holcomb will
vouch for the character of the girl as
being beyond reproach."

Belief a 17-year-old girl, was ordered
to leave the military reservation at 6
o'clock yesterday evening.
The order, ISSUED by Captain How

Young girl from the fort, is deemed
one Of the most remarkable and un-

is likely to be an inquiry set on foot
by the war department at Washing

suit for damages being instituted by
Miss Belleir's people.
