someone always writes his letters
when doing business here.
Mr.. V. S. Bryant appearing
for the prosecution took the SER
lous ground that the girl must be
in trouble and that there is evi-
dence that she has been threat
ened. 1t was brought out that
ne owns a pistol and a small
thirst for frewater. From the
father and the girl it was learned
that Tilley has sent other letters
and that this is not the first time
that she has had cause to be
harmed at what he has done. He
said the girl was entitled to the
protection of the law and that
she asked for it.
Mr.. Fl. A. Foushee took the
matter more or less as a Joke.
He said the fellow had always
been friendly to the family and
that If he had bought cartridges
for the purpose of killing John
Ashley's daughter. he would
hardly have sent for them by
John. He brought out the fact
that Ashley did not purchase the
fireworks as requested and that
nothing could have been sillier
than his purchasing them through
such a medium.
He maintained tnat Tilley could
not have written the letter, that
1t was in clear, round hand and
and the work of someone more
able to write than Tilley. He in
sisted that the girl was unnessari-
ly alarmed and that the prisoner
should be discharged. He be-
leved the letter is d joke and
said the girl made no report of
TiIley's strange doings until she
had found the letter sticking in
the corner Of the house.
Magistrate Harris took the
view that there was probable
cause and bound the defendant
over in a Oond of $3.50.
When arrested Tilley was at a
corn shucking. He was caught
in his oyeralls and brought here
without chance to get his witnes-
ses ii he has any. He says he

Bad Fire Made lis Appearance In
BOlladay Studio Friday Night.
CLOSELY FOLLOWED III SANE BUILDING
After FiremGn Had Put Out Fire Ug
Stairs, the BaS3m3et IN T?aAas
q Co.'S. Store Breaks OuI.


A double fire last Friday night
and Saturday morning was the
cause Of quite a stir, About
seven thirty o'clock Friday even
ing the firemep were called out
to fight the flames that began in
the Hoiladay Studio, following
this about 2;30 o'clock Saturday
morning they were again called
to the same building, and this
time the fire was raging in the
basement of the building occu-
pied by Trakas, and from ap-
pearances it was not caused by
the first fire, but the origin has
not been ascertained.
When the firemen answered
the first call early Friday even
ing smoke was issuing on Main
street in front of the postofice
and the flames were making
their appearances from the roof
and fremen kept busy until about
ii o'clock in order to be sure there
were no chance of smouldering
embers rekindling. The destruc-
ton up to this time had been
mainly in the Holladay studio,
which proved to be a total loss
to Mr.. Holladay.
The estimated loss to Mr.. Holla-
day is about $1,000 or $500
with no insurance. In the spring
the ownership of the Holiday
studio underwent some change
that made void the insurance
and Mr.. Holladay was not aware
Of the fact, or failed to have his
insurance properly arranged and
the loss by fire falls heavily up
On him. However, he arrived

THE SECOND FIRE.
About ? O'Clock Saturday
morning the firemen were called
out again and they found that
the basement OF the store of
Trankas l. Co., was on fire. They
also found that it was very diff.
cult to get at, as the fire seemed
to be between the floor and over.
head ceiling in the basement and
the smoke was such that it was
out of the question to see what
was happening. However, by
continued effort and much water,
the firemen soon had this blaze
out. but not before the entire
store and contents had suffered
destruction. The loss to this
firm was about the same as to
the Holladay studio but they
were fortunate enough to have
some insurance.
The origin of both fires is a
mystery. The first fire occurred
early in the evening and the
store of Trakas & Co. was not
affected at all. but the origin of
the latter fire is said to have |
been from some other cause
than sparks from the first.

Little Things of
F en1inine Interest
For Women Who Embroider.

PUNCHING eyelet holes by guess may
i be all very well for the experienced
needleWorker, but when esSayed by the
tyro it is apt to result in painfully ir-
regular rents in the fabrics. There is
a new eyeiet maker which is provided
with gauge to regulate the size of the
holes. The stiletto tapers from sharp
point to the thickness of a pencil. and
by adjusting the gauge, holes of any size
may be punched without effort. These
clever little eyelet makers are shown in
the shops at - cents each.
Knife for Curling Feathers.
Another convenient little article which
may be purchased for a quarter is the
feather curling knife. This knife has
curved blade with a beveled edge over
which the feather tendril may be drawn
with no danger of cutting it. The handle
of the knife fits easily into the hand, and
one is advised to warm the blade slightly
during the process of curling. With one
of these clever little implements the
tedious work of curling "a long ostrich
feather seems to go very quickly indeed.
Pretty Blouses Evolved.
Very fetching separate blouses are
evolved from the remnants of wide lace
fiouncings of prominent pattern. These
are used for the back and fronts. the
border edging being arranged in v shape
over a net foundation and the deeply
pointed lace caps draped over tight-fitting
sleeves of tucked net with lace bands
placed entire deuX. The high lace collar
has wide frili of net and fastens under
a black velvet rosette similar to those
used on street neck ruches.
