Norfolk, Va, March S.-Restored

of Moses Goodman, of this city, whu

The saline solution had no percep-

Just why he left his reservation is
not definitely known, but the officials
advance the theory that he was in
some way connected with the assault
on Sheriff Brassfied Saturday night,
in which he was badly wounded by a
aegro thief, Early Mosley, who used
a razor in the most vicious manner
upon the sheriff.

desperate.
1t is reported from Dresden that the
negro stated to the sheriff and other
officials that Hogg gave him the razor
and told him to kill Sheriff Brasfed.
Perhaps this confession of the negro
got TO the ears of Hogg, and, fearing
that he would be locked up and

caused him 70 leave his quarters

MADE
BAD MISTAKE
sTORMED ROOM OF REsPECTA-
BILE MARRIED COUPLE AND
MAY HAVE TROUBLE WITH
HOTEL PROPRIETOR.

Officer Bill Shannon was 80 per-
sistent in running down ''undesir-
ables" that he stormed door and
entered the room of a respectable
married couple and so abused them
because their marriage license was
in a trunk at the Northern Pacific
depot that he was compelled to
pull in his horns and apologize to
both parties. He stOrmed about
the couples door without asking
any information from the clerk as
to who occupied the room.
Shannon made his badly calculat-
ed raid on room SO of the Spokoma
hotel, where a well-known train
dispatcher and his wife were stay
ing that night. He used such Ian
guage that the woman went into
Mysteries and her husband, after
digging his license from his trunk
at the depot the next morning, COM
planned to the chief of police. Shan
non was told by that official to
apologize to both parties whom he
had wronged. Now Bill isn't much
on manners and etiquette, but he
apologized.
That did not settle the trouble,
though the train dispatcher is now
on his way to Dakota to take an
important position there. He left
an affidavit, duly sworn, embodying
the details of Shannon's blunder
with the proprietor of the hotel,
who is considering a legal battle
over the affair, since this is the sec
ond time Shannon has made mis-
take of that sort in his house.

August Seitz, in suit fled today
in the superior court, said that he
was induced by d. VanArsdale to
invest $500 in stock of the Idaho
Railway G. Navigation Co. on the
promise of job as manager of the
concern at 500 per month. He says
he worked six months at the job,
could collect only $1S5 of the $500
salary coming to him, and finds
that his stock, which cost him $500,
is worth about $40 He says Van
Arsdale fioated a company with a
capital stock of 100000, but that
the only Tangible assets are some
steamboats, that did not cost to ex-
coed $4,000. x
The company has Offices In the

run boat line on the Snake river
from Lewiston to Riparia, and to

WEBSTER READY
FOR WOOLSACK

In entering upon his duties as
the new superior judge of Spokane
county today. Judge J. Stanley
Webster, from the bench in Judge
Hinkle's court delivered an appro'
pirate address, expressing his graf
itude to his friends for their efforts
in his behalf. He stated that the
most pleasing thing in connection
with his appointment was the dis
play of kindly interest, confidence
and good will on the part of the
members of the bar and citizens.
Judge Webster stated that he
would do everything within his
power to justify the confidence OF
the members of the bar and would,
with the help of God, try to render
Justice between man and man in
all matters that came before him
for decision.
The commission for the new
Judge was received this morning
from Acting Governor Hay. The
four other judges of the superior
court and Judge Carey of Colville
sat on the bench during the Undue
ton of the new judge into office.
The ceremony was brief, consist
ing of the oath and introduction of
Judge Webster as the new member
of the bar by Judge Hinkle, and the
response by Webster.

FRIDAY WILL END
LEGISLATIVE AGONY

In the meantime, the mountain

maker who q month ago was hope

Promises to the people at home
have not been kept, and each legis-
lator of Imagination can always
feel the eyes of his constituents
on his every act AS matter of
probability, the chances are that
when he alights at the family depot
he will be greeted: "iIello, Bill,
where We ben for the last week or
so.' But the legislator doesn't
know this and wouldn't believe it
if he did, so he worries all night
over the fact that with three days
left his bill, so important to him
and unimportant to the rest, has
not very bright prospects.
Out of the $50 laws proposed,
there is not much chance that
more than $50 will ever find an
enduring resting place on the stat
utes of the state. That has been
the average in previous years, and
this session will bear it out.
