him to waive extradition proceed

him at his home in Austin, MINI.

surprising manner.
A few days ago the landlady OF
the Star lodging house, which is
near the Pioneer, received letter
from a Guy Morris asking that a
grip he left in his room be express
ed to him A woman's curiosity
prompted her to examine the con-
tents of the grip, which was I'M
locked. She found two photographs.
Now, Jennie Smith, who returned
from Seattle the other day, took
rooms at the Star lodging house.
She passed the room about the
time the landlady was examining
Morris grip.

landlady, come and see what a

BANE OF LIFE

A whistling wife was one of the
grounds which secured a divorce
for Nels Nelson from Martha Mer-
riam Nelson in Judge Sullivan S
court this morning, They married
at Hillyard in 1904 Nelson testi-
fed that when he used to return
home at night tired from his
days labors his wife took delight
in throwing things around and in
whistling out of tune. When he
wanted to go to bed she would
whistle worse than ever. He would
get up but she would follow him
still, all the time whistling out of
tune. She also scratched his face
a few times.

FOR COE

When DR.. F. M. Coe, the veterin-
