however, and Jim sat dangling his

SHE ENDED SEARCH
BY USING PHONE

Sheriff Pugh was looking for
Amelia Bauer yesterday and
when last seen she was at the I'M
perial hotel, corner Of Main and
Division, but disappeared just as
an officer was sent to arrest her.
Her whereabouts was about to de-
velop into a deep mystery when
she called up the court house and
asked for Sheriff Pugh.
It was learned that she was at
her home on Dean avenue. Her
husband appeared before Judge
Webster soon after and asked
that she be apprehended and her
sanity inquired into, as he was
afraid she might do herself or
somebody else harm.
A warrant was issued and she
was being sought for whenA she
called up on the phone. She has
been wanting to see Sheriff Pugn
for several day.

THAT AFTER IS YEARS, MAR
RAGE is A FAILURE.

Solomon d. Coats, a carpenter,

was up before Justice G. w.
Suckers court yesterday for wife
desertion. The old fellow, who can
still command $3.50 day at his
trade, was put under $3.50 bond to
pay his wife, aged 81, the sum of
$40 per week for her support. He
testified that although married rs
years their union was unhappy, and
he went away on account of his
wife's nagging, to seek peace.
She charged that he paid too
much attention to other women
and that he went away, leaving her
penniless and with unpaid bills for
rent and groceries.

THREE STRIKES N
THREE GOOD Mines


Three strikes in three mines,
owned by practically the same
people and all about the same
time, are among the late occur
ances in Phoebe. The Golden
Prince has encountered large
beded vein of manganese ore in
it's shaft at depth of about
500 feet, and according to last
accounts, this resource is at
at least twelve feet wide. The
Gold g. Silver Prince has cut
through a vein of the same
kind of ore between the 100
and 150-foot points in the shaft
while at the Gold Crown, there
is exposed a ten-foot breast
on the. 100 level which, offic-
ials Of the company say, con-
tains commercial values. This
isn't bad record for one
week to say the least. In the
meantime, development work is
being pushed in all three prop
critics. with the vigor character
istic of those in whom the man
agement is entrusted.
