BaSSett'S Bartender Taken Into
Custody By Deputy Sheriff
tiudgenS
SUSPECTED SAFE THEFT
Employer SwearS Out Warrant for
Him on CirCumStantiaI Evidence
Later BaiIed Out

Frank Willis, the bartender at w.
X. Bassett's saloon, where the safe
was robbed of more than S1,30O early
Thursday morning, was arrested last
night OH suspicion of having had
something to do with the robbery.
Willis remained at work at Bas-
sets New Resort saloon from the
time of the robbery until yesterday
morning when he was discharged
from his position but remained round
the place much of the day.
MIR. Bassett, who had apparently
suspected the man from the start,
swore out warrant before Justice
Cartwright for his arrest last night.
He was found about 3 O'Clock in Bas-
sets saloon by Deputy Sheriff John
Hudgens and taken to the county jail
but was later released on $500 bali
furnished by Thomas H. O'Neill.
The robbery at Bassett's was Pc
culiar one. 1t took place during the
morning hours when Willis was sup
posed to be sleeping in the rear room.
But Willis insisted that he was away
between the hours of 2:3O and 4:3O
in the morning, leaving two hours in
which the robbery could have taken
place.
How the rObber could have got in
to the saloon and into the safe with
out any evidence of having forced his
way in w;s one of the puzzling prob
lens that threw suspicion upon the
bartender.
So far the evidence against Willis
is merely circumstantial.

At last there is to be a real Ameri-
IAN opera, the scene being laid in the
,old fields of California. 1t may or
nay not be regretted that the writer
md composer is not an American;
hat can be decided after the opera
las been produced. But the fact is
hat he is Giacomo Puccini, the
Italian. He says the idea came to him
fter witnessing a western play in
yew York. Certainly there are limit
ess possibilities in the phases Of pio-
eer western life, now rapidly passing
way, says Troy Times, and our story
yriters and playwrights have done
luch toward utilizing the material.
tut grand opera founded on life in a
inning camp must strike the world
5 a real novelty, and there will be
luch curiosity to see how the prima
onna, the tenor robusto and the
asso profundo, to say nothing of the
alfet and chorus, will deal with the
wild and woolly."

The Souvenir Mania.
G. A. LIsK, Publisher.

II happened on one of the United
States cruisers at Hampton Roads.
says the Washington Herald. A lieu
tenant, having met two very charming
ladies while ashore, invited them on
board for luncheon. They came and
were shown over the ship. They lin.
gered long in the fieutenant's room,
which was daintily furnished, and
they admired his photographs OF
home. When he was summoned on
deck he left them there. Returning.
he took them to luncheon, and, hav-
ing to go on duty in the afternoon, he
excused himself so as to get into uni
form. Alas! he found that every but
ton on his best coat had been cut on,
and then he remembered that one OF
his fair guests had been rather impor-
tunate on the souvenir question. He
got her alone after luncheon and ac-
cused her of the theft, and after some
prevarication she confessed that the
buttons were in her corsage. With
some firmness the lieutenant led the
culprit to his cabin, pointed silently to
the denuded coat on the bunk, pro-
duced needle and thread and, going
out, locked the door on the outside.
In half an hour he returned, unlocked
the door, found that his coat was once
more in excellent order, and then with
great gallantry bowed the lady over
the side. She has not been invited
to luncheon on the same ship since.

A Mysterious Woman.

A woman of mystery is Florence
Gray" the young person who, accord
ing to the coroner's verdict, shot and
killed Frank Brown, young man of
Three Oaks. The shooting took place
at Michigan City, Ind.
Brown and the Gray girl were
sweethearts. The evidence at the in
quest in Michigan City showed that
in the quarrel between the pair Brown
struck the young woman before she
shot him.
Since being placed in Jail Florence
Gray positively refuses to give out
any information concerning herself.
All efforts to learn something Of her
family have been unsuccessful. She
says they will never know of her
crime. Letters found in her room We'd
nesday throw no light on her past,
her family or anything else which
might be of assistance to the state.
The letters were from girl friends,
mostly, and all were signed with some
pet name. No addresses were given.

Case Was Dismissed.

Judge Streeter, of Houghton, dismis-
sed the big mining suit of David A.
Aitkin against Chase S. Osborn, of
Sault Ste. Marie, because the evidence
did not bear out the claims of the
plaintiff. One remarkable feature was
the statement of Attorney Larmont
that he did not feel that he could ask
for a decree in favor of Aitkin, as the
evidence did not warrant it. The case
grew out of the Moose mountain iron
mine discovery, worth $25,000,000. Ait
kin claimed a quarter interest in Os-
bornes holding, involving about $685.

any expenditures from the fund OF

islature for the purpose OF financing

The money was to install the plant and

The reason for the Attorney Gen

discovered in the law after II was
signed by Governor Warner. The title
of the bill carried the figures $4,000,
but a clerk in transcribing the bill
made it read $175.
The Attorney General says he thinks
the act is quite likely to be found
valid. but he warns the Auditor Gen.

that they are liable to incur person

Sunday for Boston, where she will
take on ammunition before starting

brigade arrived in Portsmouth Friday
night and spent Saturday and Sunday
in getting acquainted with the unfa-
