WOMAN ACCUSED
OF STEALING $40
WIFE OF WAPATo SCHOOL IANITOR
Strange story Told the Losers Of the
Bills BY Woman Under Suspi-
cion and Her Husband.

Either divine providence mani
tested itself to Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Curtis of Wapato in a manner that is
as wonderful as any of the stories OF
the Bible, or they are both possessed
of imaginations and resources thai
border on the miraculous them
selves The story they told in JUS
tice Taggards court is strange
one. 1t may prove true, but they
will have to prove it's truthfulness
in court next Saturday, to which
time the case was adjourned.
Mr.. Curtis is the janitor of the
schoolhouse at Wapato. In that
growing young town live the family
of E. s. Smith. Along about Christ
mas time Mrs. Smith needed assist
ance in getting her house in Or
der for the holiday season, and she
engaged Mrs. Curtis to come and
help her. In the evening of the day
on which the work was done Mrs.
Smith discovered that her purse
containing $40 had been opened
and the money taken out. Since
Mrs. Curtis was the only person
who had been in the house aside
from the family, suspicion naturally

with the disappearance of the mon
ey, and she was accused of taking
it, She went, at once to, the Smith
9fhH69nMie and assisted In searching for
the bills. of which there were two.
in the denomination of SO each.
After some time spent in hunting,
she found one of them, she said, I'M
der the paper, on shelf. This was
turned over to Mrs. Smith, who
could not understand how it came
where it was reported to have been
found, as none of the family over
placed money there.
So the matter was left for the
lawyers to decide, or at least untan
GLE Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis were cite
to appear before justice and tell
what they knew of The disappearance
of the $40 and the whereabouts of
the still absent ten. They started
for this city Saturday morning, AMI
on the way here, it is claimed, they
found $40 in bills and a watch
wrapped in handkerchief lying by
the roadside. This, they said, prov.
ed to be money and watch stolen
from their own home recently. They
were overjoyed to find the package,
and went at once to the Smiths Of
fering to give them the money TO
make them good in their loss. They
looked upon the find as a dispense
ton of divine providence. Mr.. AMI
Mrs. Smith did not see it that way,
however. and refusing the money
decided to let the matter go through
the courts.
The case will be heard next Sat
urday, having been transferred to
the court of Justice Doust, who will
take the oath of office before that
date.

Arsenic Cures Queer Malady.

BERLIN, Dec. 29-Professor
Robert Koch, who resigned the presi-
dency of the Berlin Medical society
in May last in order to continue his
Investigations into equatorial Africa
of the so-called sleeping sickness,
in his official report to the imperial
ministry of the interior. says he has
found the atosyl, preparation OF
arsenic, is as efficacious in the treat
ment of the sickness as quinine is in
the case of malaria. Professor Koch
availed himself of the offer made by
the British government of an empty
mission house at Bougatelli, Sese
islands, northward of Victoria Ny
ANA, where there are now 900 pa
tients being treated with sub-cutan-
eous injections Of a half-gramme So
luton of atoyl.
The malady attacks particularly
men in the prime of life. The NOR
tally has been so great that whole
villages are now inhabited only by
women and children.

caused these men to contrive to bring
as much financial strife as possible in
order to discredit the policy OF the
Government and thereby secure a re-
versal of tat policy so that they may
enjoy unmolested the fruits OF their
own evil doings.
@They have misled many good peo-
pie into believing that there should
be such reversal of policy If possible.
If so | am sorry, but it will not alter
my attitude. Once for all let it be
said that as far as am concerned and
for the eighteen months of my Presi-
dency that remain there will be no
change in the policy we have steadily
pursued, or let-up in the efforts TO
secure the honest observance of the

makes them peculiarly formidable be-
cause they hide behind breastworks
of corporate organization.

this point; it is idle to ask me not to

which shall infiict great and unmer-

Business can only be done under
modern conditions through corpora

The Administrator appreciates that
liberal but honest profits for legiti-

able and right management, and divi-
dends for capital employed, either in
founding or continuing wholesome
business ventures, are the factors
necessary for successful corporate ac-
tivity, and, therefore, for generally
prosperous business condition.
"All these are compatible with fair
dealings as between man and man
and rigid obedience to the law. Our
aim is to help every honest man,
every honest corporation, and our
policy means, in the ultimate, healthy
and prosperous expansion of business
activity, honest business methods and

SETS FIRE TO HIDE MURDER.
Farmland Kills Woman Employer in
Fit of jealousy.

Trumbull, COMM a fit of jeal-
ousy, because he thought she was
going to marry another man, Lucas
Koplinsky, a farmland on the estate
of Aaron Mallett, at Tashua Hill, just
beyond Long Hill, shot and killed
Miss Lillian Mallett, and to hide his
crime set fire to the barn connected
with the house in which he had slain
the woman.
Miss Mallett, who was fifty-five
years of age and wealthy, on the Sun
day before buried her father. She
was in the kitchen talking with Kop-
linsky, when suddenly, according to
his own statement, he took out a re-
volver and fired two shots at her,
both taking effect.
He says he heard Miss Mallett tell
another farmland that she would
marry him, and Koplinsky says this
enraged him. Koplinsky has wife
and family in New Haven, with whom
he has not lived for ten years. He
has worked on the Mallett place for
seven years.
Mrs. Treadwell, the next door
neighbor, was at the Mallett farm at
the time of the shooting, although not
on the spot. She was then going to
find Miss Mallett when she heard the
reports of revolver and saw Koplin-
sky come out of the she'd She ran to
her own home and gave the alarm
DR.. Seth Hill, another neighbor,
found the body of Miss Mallett and
started the chase after her murderer
He did not make any resistance when
overtaken.

U. S. MAIL ROBBED OF sa5c 900.
Registered Pouches Missed From
Burlington Train.

Omaha, Neb.-The biggest robbery
in the history of the United States
mails took place between Denver and
Omaha last Thursday night, when
three through registered pouches
which contained $3.50, 000were stolen
from the Burlington fast mail train
that runs between Denver and Chi
cago.
The robbery took place on Thurs
day night, but the news of it did not
come out for several days, although
postal inspectors of Salt Lake City,
Denver, Kansas City, Omaha, St.
Louis and Chicago have been at work
since the robbery.
Every postal inspector and Secret
Service man in the West is working
on the case.
On Thursday night seven through
registered pouches were sent from
the Denver postofice to the depot for
the Burlington fast mail train.
These were receipted for by the
mail clerk When the train reached
McCook, Neb, it was found that
three of the pouches were missing.
One of the missing pouches was
destined for Omaha, another for Chi
cago and the third was an empty for
Lincoln. Although the Omaha pouch
was valuable, that to Chicago con-
tanned heavy shipment OF cash from
a Denver bank to one in Chicago.
The shipment is said to aggregate
more than $250,000.
AS soon as the loss was discovered
the inspectors were notified and a
search begun At first it was thought
the missing pouches had been sent to
wrong train, but it is now known
they were stolen.

ARSON TO COVER TWO MURDERS.
Women Killed While Barn Was
Burning.

Philadelphia While the attention
OF Edward Horner, farmer between
Collingswood and Merchantville, near
Camden, was diverted by fire start
ed in his barn at O'Clock a. m, an
assassin entered his house and with
an axe murdered Mrs. Horner and
the hired girl, an Italian named Wit
toria Natoli. Mrs. Horner was sixty,
three years old.
The Italian woman, .Vittoria, was
working on the farm with her hus-
band, Tomaso, to whom she had been
married year ago The detectives
suspected negro farmland who had
been discharged by Horner two weeks
before. His name is Charles Gibson,
and he is now in custody in Camden
charged with the murder.
1t was found that the fiend who
killed the women had also robbed the
Horner home, carrying away two re-
volyers, some money and two gold
watches. When Gibson was arrested
one of the revolvers was in his basket
and so were two pawn tickets, each
for gold watch. The tickets were
taken to the pawnbroker, Joseph
Rieder, of 1913 Market street, Phila-
delphia, and the watches were recov-
cred,
Rieder was taken to Camden,
where he picked Gibson out of long
line OF prisoners and identified him
positively as the person who had
pledged the watches. When Gihson's
pockets were searched STA was found
in them.

the three, the great Augusta Bridge.
has span 800 feet and height 348
feet, with a roadway on top thirty
feet wide. The Natural Bridge OF
Virginia with it's span of ninety-three

of the Rockies. The archway of the
Caroline Bridge has span of $50
feet and a height of 1873 feet. The

miles, and many smaller ones are
found within a comparatively short
distance. The smallest of the three
shown is giant compared with the
Natural Bridge of Virginia, with
which every one is familiar.
On account of the distance from
railroads and the difficulties encoun-
tered in making the trip, but few
people have visited these curiosities,
and their discovery being compare
lively recent, but little is known
about them. Only within the last
year or two has anything like sci
entific study been made of these
peculiar formations. In 1906 Salt
Lake City men visited the region. and
the scientists of the party made an
extended study of the structures and
careful measurements as well as
numerous photographs.

the magnitude of these giant struc-
lures, the largest of which is to the

Grand Canon of the Colorado is to
the gorges of the world. 1t is claimed
that the Augusta Bridge is the largest
known natural bridge in the world;
but Mr.. Charles F. Loomis in his in
teresting book, Some Strange Cor
ners of Our Country" describes a
natural bridge in Arizona that is
large enough to contain a f1ve-acre
peach orchard upon it's floor. It's
structure is, however, radically differ

that it cannot be classed with them
