clothes-whe-ew! four thousand big
dollars worth at the very least, 1t
is claimed. Whether she will be as
beautiful when next seen, as when
she hastily left her rented domicile
this morning is rather a shaky bet,
for it seems as though in the great
supply of powders, puffs and
rouges she left behind, may be
concealed her winsome features. II
she has pair of shoes that are
mates, she is lucky, for when the
officers called at the deserted
house there were three costly shoes
from as many different pairs. lying
scattered about a room that was the
picture of confusion. A hat worth
at elast $50 was also left behind
to tell a tale of more than hasty
departure. She left, it is said, in
a kimono and long coat.
How She and her handsome COM
panion with his big diamond ring
got the tip that the police were
coming is merely conjecture. but
it is believed to have leaked out
that a certain young man from a
house near theirs had phoned to the
police. The, clever woman placed
her advertisements for partners
in the newspapers to lure victims
to her temporary home.

WATCH FOR MORE
INCENDIARISM
Poss Park and Ely Yards Burned
More Watchmen Needed.

Fires that were started by an In
cendiary, almost beyond doubt,
consumed almost the entire stock
OF the Ross Park and the Ely lunn-
Der companles' yards in the ex-
treme northeastern limits Of spo-
kane, early this morning. The
damage will amount to about $780,
600, and only partly covered by In
surance.
At the Ely yards, where more
than $4,000 worth of lumber In
the piles was burned, the fire was
started In the moulding sheds. and
at the Ross Park yards the flames
first emanated from the drying
sheds. In neither of these places
In the two mills Is any fire used,
and there was every evidence of
incendiarism when the blaze was
first discovered at the Ross Park
yards.
