CHLOROFORMS WOMAN

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 5.--In
desperate encounter son the second
floor of her home at 6171a Spofford
avenue, with an armed and masked
thug, clad in long black gown like
a priests cassock, about $3.50 o'clock
last evening, Mrs. Frank l.. Twist
was rendered unconscious by her as
sailant, who after the struggle had
lasted several minutes, whipped
bottle of chloroform out of his pock-
ct and saturated handkerchief with
it, applied the poisonous fumes to the
woman's nostrils, according to the
story told the police by the victim.
Her arms were black and blue from
the struggle and the burrows made
by the thugs finger and thumb were
plainly visible some hours afterward.
Mrs. Twist is over SO years old
and weighs about 275 pounds. She
was badly burned about the face
by the drug. The hand-to-hand
conflict and the drugging followed a
determined attempt on her part to
prevent the intruder from escap-
ing with a buckskin sack containing
large sum of money which he had
taken from a trunk after forcing
his victim, at the point of his revol-
yer. to walk upstairs and remain
quiet while he rummaged a trunk
and broke open a strong box con-
tanning the bag, Mrs. Twist says.
The woman's husband, who is a
Waterman employed by the Great
Northern railway at the Howard
street crossing, says he found his
wife lying unconscious on the floor,
tightly clutching the bag partly filled
with gold, when he came home from
work about 6 o'clock.

every race will be absolutely
straight" and that the meeting will
be conducted in a most up-to-date
manner.
One of the finest features of the
fair will be the horse show, which
will be on a much finer scale than
that of last November. Cash prem
iums will be given in each class
shown. and the finest saddle, harness
and draft horses In the state will be
exhibited.
A feature of the fair which will
undoubtedly attract great attention
among the agriculturists, hOrti-
culturists and fruit growers of the
state will be the daily lectures to be
given by experts from the national
department Of agriculture at Wash
ington.
Beginning with the inaugural ex-
ercises on the grounds today, there
will be something doing every day
at the big fair until the gates close
on February 20.

Hughes, probably the latter for the
first few ballots.
There is a factional fight raging
in Iowa between the Allison and
Cummins factions, with a eomplica-
ton of Secretary Shaw attempting to
become a fayorite son, but his late
attempt to break into the ranks of
the frenzied financiers of Wall
street will probably act as stopper
to his political ambition.
West Virginia will be likely to
send delegates controlled by Senator
Elkins and opposed to Taft who will
be for Knox when the balloting
really becomes interesting.
The balance of power between the
Roosevelt-Taft and the Knox
Hughes factions will be in the hands
of the delegates from the Southern
States. If they split up their votes
Taft may be defeated, but If the
Administration controls the great
majority of them the opposition will
win. The situation in the South
differs from former occasions, for
the Roosevelt plan of virtually elm
mating the negro vote and turning
over all the patronage to few Sc
lected lily-whites has angered the
darky leaders. That feeling has
been made more bitter by the
Brownsville affair where the negroes
are numerous. This peculiar state
of affairs may lead to some contest
ing delegations from Southern states
and the fight be carried into the
convention.
There is a chance for unparalleled
corruption to play its part in the
Republican convention, for delegates
from the Southern States have
