DARING CROOKS OPERATE UN.
DER EYES OF SLEUTHS.

The residence Of Archie S. Ash,
1912 Fifth av., was burglarized
Wednesday afternoon and jewelry
to the valve of about $4,000 was
stolen. Since that time the po-
lice have kept the matter quiet in
hopes that the thief or thieves
would attempt to dispose of the
stolen goods around town and thus
leave clews which might lead to
their capture.
All of the recent burglaries ap-
pear to have been the work of the
same persons. Ash's residence was
not entered from upper windows,
as has been reported, but through
the kitchen door. the lock of
which was manipulated with a
skeleton key.
1t was daylight, which makes the
robbery more nervy than any 9TH
cts yet reported unless 1t was that

Archie Ash is one of the wealth
lest men in the city, and owns sa-
looms, pawnshops and brick build
ings. He always keeps a lot of
diamonds and other jewelry at his
home, and 1t was this the robbers
evidently sought and found.
Chief Rice yesterday sent print
ed descriptions of the goods to ev-
cry city in the Northwest.
Detectives are working on one
clew which may lead to an arrest.
Yesterday young man attempted
TO dispose of small diamond ring
for $25. 1t was valued at more
than 500 and this fact led to sus-
picions which were communicated
TO the police. Before an officer APP

He is described as about "a
years old, smooth shaven. dark, me-
dunn height and build. He wore a
dark brown suit Of clothes and
black shirt. His hat was a light

Each patrolman and the detec-

morning were furnished with the

The robbery has the police au-

MRS. BRADLEY PREPARES FOR
TRIAL FOR KILLING HER LOVER
BY MARGARET q. DOWNING

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. s.
Shall the woman who has been
wronged from loving not wisely
but too well'' take retribution into
her own hands?
Or must she, having disregarded
willfully the seventh command
ment, suffer in silence the double
burden of her shame and of her
humiliation from being cast aside
as a play-thing?
These are the questions that a
jury of IL men will begin to con-
slider next week when the trial of
Mrs. Annie Bradley, who killed ex-
Senator Arthur Brown, of Utah,
with two shots from revolver, be.
gins in this city.
This frail little woman, who was
strong enough to take supreme re-
venge, has been in Jail in Washing
ton for year. She sits in her cell
knitting, knitting, knitting; think
ing, thinking, thinking. But If you
ask her about her case she will tell
you confidently that she expects &C
quittal; that she bases her hope on
the jurys sense of justice, once it
has heard the story of her wrongs.
She expects to take the witness
stand and tell the whole romantic
and tragic history of her life. It
will be the story of an ambitious
young woman of poor parentage,
forced into active effort for her own
support. 1t will tell of an unhappy
marriage and divorce, and finally of
her forcing herself into semi-leader-
ship among the public-spirited
women of Salt Lake.
There as secretary of the board
OF waterworks, as member OF the
Womens club, as organizer of the
Poets Round Table, and later as
candidate for city auditor and dele
gate to the Utah Women's Suffrage
society to the national suffragist
convention, she won recognition by
sheer ability.
1t was during this fight for place
among her more favored sisters
that she met Arthur Brown, then
senator from Utah, and surren-
dered her life to him. She was
the most confiding of women; the
most trustful. Senator Brown
told her he loved her. She be-
lieved him. Two children came,
and he promised some day to
marry her and legitimatize those
two sons. She believed and waited.
While she waited came the story

William Hopkins, proprietor of
the Georgia market, notified the
health board this morning that he
has bought two rat dogs to fight
the rodents that infest the vicinity
of his shop on f. Spargue av. Sew
eral common varieties of dogs
have heen stationed in the market
but always get woIsted. These last
two dogs, however, are profession
al ratters, guaranteed to kill any
rat they get hold on. For sever
al weeks the large gray rats have
been increasing ia numbers at the
Georgia and Idaho markets until
the board of health is alarmed that
they will infest the entire city and
gain such a foothold II will take
months to eradicate them.
1t is this gray rat : at is infect

to say about Gunner Moir's chances

crossed the water to fight the
Briton:
IF Burns has the least sign Of
streak in his makeup, the Gum

A lone, masked highway man at
s o'clock last night held up G..
Clark Rhodehamel, city salesman
for the Inland Printing Co., just at
the entrance to his home at 1911
Sixth av.
Without n word the holdup
stepped in front of his victim and
presented a revolver. Instructive
ly Rhodehamel's hands went up in
the air.
Keep 'em there now, or you'll
get hurt" was the only remark
made by either man during the
robbery. The victim was quite
content to keep them there, too.
The holdup was quite evidently
used to the work, for he went
through the salesman's pockets
with a dizziness which told of long
experience. He secured $1S.75 in
cash and three S. certificates on
the Old National bank.

CONCERNING RATS

The action of the board
, of health in reducing the
, bounty on rats from 10
, cents to 2 cents apiece
would seem to be rather
false economy. Dispatches
received this morning from
Portland state that rats
We're found there yesterday
with pronounced symptoms
, of the plague and that city
} will Immediately inaugu-
rate a vigorous campaign to
, annihilate the rodents.
Now would appear to be
, Spokane's golden opportun-
ity to get rid of this pest
before a suspicion of the
plague has appeared here.
A prominent physician of
the city said today that if 4
the plague developed to any Z
extent in Seattle it will be Z
almost certain TO appear Z
here. 1t amounts simply to Z
this: With rats plentiful Z
the plague might become Z
epidemic here should it get 4
foothOld; without rats,
the best authorities on the
; subject claim an epidemic
would be impossible.
