TYROS TO TREAD The
BURNING SANDS

Next Saturday the Knights OF
Korasan will start on their pill
grimage to Oasis Cranbrook, B. c.,
where they will initiate a class of
IS tyros. The unregenerate will be
taken across the burning sands and
after various severe tests of en-
durance under the whitening desert
sun will be safely brought to the
pleasant shade of the oasis, where
flows the sacred waters of Fem
Fem, revered by all true Arabs.
1t is related of one of the OF.
ticers of the local temple that he
gave his employees an increase in
wages demanded rather than forgo
his participation in initiating the
unbeliever in the mysteries of the
great Arabian brotherhood. One OF
the notices of the knights is, "lf
business intereferes with pleasure,
cut out the business. Under the
circumstances there was nothing
the man could do but grant his en-
ployes the increase desired if he
would join his brethero in spread
ing the gospel of good fellowship
among the unregenerate of the
earth.

Guard, recently tried by court
martial on a charge of criticising
his superior officers, was found
guilty by the trial board and will

sonal letter which will be written
by Adjt. Gen. Hamilton at the or.
der of Gov Albert E Mead, who Is
the head of the national guard in
this state.

was tried revolved about an inter-
view published in local newspa-
per in which he was quoted as
criticising the delay of the board
in charge of the armOry commits
sion in pushing the armory con-
struction work.
AS several of his superior Off GERS

preferred and Maj. Case brought

body, and here was no violation OF
the national guard regulations.

CARPENTERS
DRAW LINE

II developed today that the car
penter's union will not affiliate with
the trade section of the Central La
Dor union if the building laborers
are allowed to also affiliate with
that section.
The contention of the carpenters
is that the building laborers should
not belong to a section composed Of
skilled mechanics. The building
laborers claim that as they are en-
ployed exclusively on building and
construction work they should
belong to the building trade Sec
ton
1t is stated that the carpenters
recently fined one of their men,
bers for not backing up a small
strike of some of the unions re-
Gently. The carpenter remained at
work after the others had quit.
This action indicates that they will
stand with all the local unions in
any controversy that may arise
with the exception of the building
laborers.

BERKELEY, Cal, Feb. 20.-If
the prosecution establishes its
case against Mrs. Isabella j. Mar
tin, held at Weaverville in default
of $4,000 bail, her name will go
down as that of the most remark
able woman criminal the country
has known since Cassie L. Chad
wick.
Mrs. Martins bent was not for
high finance, but for the wholesale
destruction of the lives and prop
erty of her real or fancied enemies.
according to the charges, and she
is said to have had her inspiration
from Harry Orchard
The tightening of the web Of
strange circumstance around this
once beautiful woman began from
the moment that Baby John"
Martin, her adopted son whom she
claims was the son of the gay
Princess Chimay, Clara Ward, of
Detroit, told. his startling story.
1t was in burst of pentup emo
ton that this 16 year old lad made
his confession. He was on the
witness stand in the. trial of the
woman who was charged with ar
son, two cottages owned by her
having burned a couple of years
ago Suspicion fell upon her when
the insurance company refused to
pay her claim. She brought suit,
but lost.
Mrs. Martin is said to have
brooded over this. At that time
the newspapers were filled with
reports of the hideous criminal
record of Orchard. Baby John"
declares that his foster mother
then decided that she would muir
der all of the men who, as she said,
were against her."
Some of the boys allegations
are: That, under threats of awful
death, Mrs. Martin made him her
tool of destruction. She went
10 New York and threatened to
kill the president of the eMtropol-
tan Fire Insurance Co. that had
denied her claim.
The boy said that. goaded on by
her threats, he placed bomb un-
der the house Of Judge Frank B..
Ogden, Oakland, March 10th last,
the explosion wrecking the rear of
the house. Judge Ogden had once
ruled against the woman in court.
The explosion has until now been
a mystery. The boy said that the
woman had manufactured a second
Internal machine which she intend
ed to place under the house of Po-
lice Judge Samuels, Oakland, who
had incurred her enmity. A search
of the woman's home later revealed
this deadly instrument in the ex-
act spot where the boy said it
would be found. II was ingeniously
made and contained seven sticks
of dynamite 1t might have served
the same purpose as the dynamite
bomb used by Orchard in the kill
ing of Gov. Steunenberg.
That the home of A. p. Leach,
former prosecuting attorney of
Oakland. was Destroyed by fire at
the woman's instigation. That Mrs.

FOR DIVORCE ,

ANACORTES, Wash. Feb. 90
The sequel to the marriage of Dan
iel Burton to Grandma" Duffy,
both aged pioneers of this county,
becomes public with the filing of
Mrs. Burton's complaint in divorce
proceedings. The couple were mar
ried less than three weeks ago.

leges his conduct and practices to
be mOnstrOuS.
The bride was Mrs. Phylomelia

children, the grandmother of 81

man, woman and child in the latter
town by poisoning the water in the
town reservoir That she burned
the Morris barn, Brown; creek, to
even up a fancied score.
Mrs. Martin has for some time
been known as morbid and eccen-
trio. She never failed, for a long
time, to communicate theories to
the authorities whenever they were
trying to solve crime mystery.
She once made a dramatic attempt
to have the Princess Chimay claim
Baby John" as her offspring, the
princess, however, repudiating the
alleged son.
Mrs. Martin was in court when
the boy told his startling story
She repeatedly shouted: Don't
talk; you're crazy" In Jail she is
calm and seems to be possessed
of her right mind.
Her trial promises a bloodthirsty
recital that will be remembered
with Orchards confession.

cARELESSNESS CAUSE
OF COLLISION

H. A Rogers, of 02014 Addison
St, notified the police last night
that while riding along the street
in front of the Ideal laundry he
collided with a barricade around
some new paving repairs. He said
that only one lantern was out and
he thought he could pass between
the lantern and the sidewalk. There
should have been two lights in
place so that the rider would
know just where the barricade
was. He smashed his own lantern
as well as the danger light. Patrol
man Childs, who investigated,
found that the new paving had
dried and removed the barricade.
The Barber Asphalt Co. did the
work.

Dear Sir:

to me to be the acme Of gall fol
this gentleman to ask to represent

When money was needed fol
campaign purposes the citizens
came forward with amounts they
were able to afford. Mr.. Knapp's
assessment was $25, or he g We his
note for that insignificant amount
then he withdrew and destroyed
the note, and it does seem extraor-
binary that the people now owe
him the honor to be the first mem
Der of the legislature from Ben

he was the only one giving a note
who failed to make good.
Respectfully Yours,
