GLASSES FLY IN
HOTEL BARRO0M

Rough house symptoms prevailed
extensively in the barroom of the
Spokane hotel last evening. Being
provoked and petulant, colored
waiter directed a glass with con-
siderable speed, in the direction OF
the bartender. The latter returned
the compliment with a settler bot
tie, and that made 1t unanimous.
For a few seconds glasses of va
rious sorts and sizes were abundant
in the immediate atmosphere. A
shelf yielded to the demoralizing
influences of the excitement and
came fluttering to the floor. By
ISLANDERS likewise came fluttering
to the scene and with them came

ROMANCE THaIvEs IN
PO0RnOUSE

BUTTE, July 11.--That old adage
which is when poverty comes in
at the door, Loves goes out the
window" has been proven untrue.
Three months ago poverty visited
the county poor farm in the person
of George Cortland, who was
, brought to that institution with a
broken leg.
Cupid followed in his footsteps,
made his abode at the poorhouse
and last week he scored a bullseye
in the heart of the matron, Mrs.
Godfrey, when she gave her heart
and hand to the soldier of misfor-
tune whom she had nursed back to
health.
Cortland. Is Al; his bride owns up
to 81. Mrs. Godfrey, now Mrs.
Cortland, is money maker and a
woman Of exceptional business
ability. Her management Of the
poor farm has been lucrative and
she is now in comfortable circum-
stances.
Some people declare that Coff-
land is really good fellow, but
playing in hard luck, and that in
the future everything will be
easier. When he came to the poor
farm Mrs. Godfrey pitied him with
that pity which is akin to love, and
the relationship grew stronger.
The love-sick pair slipped away
to a clergyman, where the nuptial
knot was tied beyond any POSSIBLE
ity Of slips. Now they are at Al
hambra Springs, spending their
honeymoon.

IS THIS Love OR LUNACY?

TACOMA, July 11.-Because she
, had broken her promise to him to
reform. Frank Harvey killed Ger.
trude Hall and probably fatally
wounded Sherman Blanchard, a
married man, whom he found with
the woman.
Harvey is so years of age. He
was in love with the woman and
had Influenced her to leave the re-
stricted district. She promised him
to lead better life and for awhile
Harvey was satisfied. Then he be-
came suspicious and finally sneaked
into the house he had provided for
the woman. The discovery and
shooting followed.
Harvey then went to the police
station and told what he had done.
He had coolly anticipated the pros
poets of getting killed himself by
writing a note which was found in
his pocket and which directed that
all his means be given to the wom-
an in the event that his plans mis-
carried.
Blanchard is a married man and
the father of children. Harvey
blames him bitterly for leading the
woman back to her old life when
she was trying to reform, but the
police are of the opinion that she
was simply playing with Harvey in
order to get his money.

This cry rings through the farm

of late. The cries are emitted by
George Green, aged 20 years, a
farm hand. Green was struck by
lightning June o. He was adjust

downpour of rain when he cried
out:
who hit me with a club?" and
fell senselels.
A bolt of lightning had come
down the trough and struck him.
Since that hour he has lain in the
parlor of the Tabor home. with Dr.
Beal, of this place, and Dr. o. B.
Campbell, of Ovid, in frequent at

Green is doing well, though July
4 was the first time the patient was
able to recognize any one. He has
spasms about once in every IL

A storm invariably causes a con.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Miss
Gladys Moore Vanderbilt will be
the central figure next month at a
birthday party to he given in her
honor at The Breakers, the New
port home of Mrs. Alice G. Wander
bilt. Miss Vanderbilt will at that
time attain her legal age, and
pleasing feature of the function will
be the delivery of her inheritance
from the estate Of her father the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt. This in
heritance amounts to $13,000,000,
and it will make her Americas rich
est girl.
The birthday party and the pres
entation to Miss Gladys will, how
ever, be only part of the story.
There will be round of festal
events and distribution of many
millions of dollars.
When Cornelius Vanderbilt died
in 1899 he bequeathed $7,500,000 to
each of the five children, except
Cornelius, Jr., the money to be paid
each heir upon reaching legl age.
Cornelius. Jr, was cut off with a
mere $1,500,000 because he married
contrary to his fathers wishes. AL
fred was designaed he'd of the fami-
ly and it was provided that the bulk
of the estate should be given to him
in installments. Certain funds were
placed in trust with the provision
that they should be distributed
when the youngest child, Miss
Gladys, reached her legal ge.
Under careful management her
bequest Of s7,500,000 has grown to
$40, 500, 900 in the seven years since
the death of her father. She will
receive in addition s2,500,00O from
other funds of the estate, the total
of $13 100000 making her one of the
richest unmarried young women in
the country.

WOMAN HAS JILTED SWEET.
HEART WHO PROVED STILL
CONSTANT IN TIME OF TROU-
BILE LOCKED UP FOR SECOND
TIME,

TACOMA, July IA cell in the
city jail is King Henniger's reward
for ardent faithfulness to his old
sweetheart who married another.
The wedding occurred back in Wis
consin and Henniger followed the
pair out to the coast. His success
full rival proved to be shiftless and
dissipated and after he had aban-
doned here Henniger tried to per-
suade the woman to get a divorce
and marry him so that she and her
8 children would be properly sup
ported.
In spite of her privations the
woman was no more favorably in
clined to Henniger than before and
still remained true to her unfortu-
nate first choice. Henniger would
accept no refusal. He furnished
the family every comfort the wom-
an would accept and finally became
so desperate in his pleading that he
threatened to kill her unless she
married him.
Instead Of winning his case the
threat got Henniger into Jail. On a
plea of the woman's father he was
released and went to San Francis
co to forget his troubles. But the
old love was too strong and lately
he returned to renew his suit. The
woman was as tubborn as ever and
avoided taking any further chances
by having him arrested again.
Whether Henniger will renew his
campaign after getting out this
time is a question of considerable
interest He says he will keep on
until she has consented to become
his wife. When that happens he
will count all the trouble she has
caused him mere incidents of a
blissful wooing.
