CAMPBELL CALLED
TO COURT BY COPE
Latter Alleges That Former Took From
His Office a RolI-Top Desk and
Valuable Papers Therein =
Il
Contained.

Laboring under the belief that Ezra
Campbell, one of his former partners,
had surreptitiously taken a roll-top
desk containing many of his valuable
papers with it, from his office on the
third floor of the Denny building last
Wednesday night, a search warrant
was obtained by A. T. Cope this morn
ing and served upon Campbell.
Accompanied by Constable n. o. Pc
terson a search of the Campbell prem
Uses was made and in the house was
found the missing property. Desiring
to settle the matter for all time, Camp
bell followed the officer of the law to
the justice court where he began to
explain in decidedly jumbled man
ner his side Of the story. Paying no
attention to the ACCOMPLISHMENT Of the
judge, the impassioned story was pour
ed forth and was to the effect that the
desk was his own property, having
been obtained from Cope in the dim
past.
These statements were not substan-
t.ated in the least by the latter whi

promise from him that he will be

ganization of the proposed auto club
will be effected and definite plans
made for welcoming the Thomas path
finder when it arrives in Walla Walla
on its way to Seattle
At the meeting held yesterday even
ing little was accomplished aside from
a free discussion of plans for organi-
cation and the naming of a commit
te to assure a large attendance and
a rousing meeting tonight. Bylaws
similar to those used by the Seattle
and Portland clubs have been prepar-
ed and are to be sumbitted to adoption
this evening. With the organization
preliminaries disposed of, the club will
take up the question of the Guggen-
helm race, plan a reception for the
pathfinder and outline a campaign for
putting the roads in good condition for
the big racers when they come
through.
No word as to the whereabout of the
Thomas car was received in the city
yesterday but as soon as it arrives in
Boise, Idaho. the local club will keep
in daily touch with it until it leaves
on it's run to Kennewick from this
city.

one that had been practiced enough to
make it sound plausible.
When Judge Mckinney could finally
be heard, he advised both parties to
secure counsel and fight the case in
the court tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock. He also explained to the be-
liggerent participants that he did not
want to hear their tale of woe, but in
timated that if they hire attorneys, the
case might be argued with more finish.
Cope claims that he owned the desk
and all that it contained at the time Of
the alleged theft, but in this he is dis
credited by Campbell. Having been
partners at one time, it is said by the
plaintiff that some deals were nade by
the defendant which were not recorded
on the books. After this, the firm
was dissolved and later the desk was
missing.
The last proposition made by Camp
bell to Cope was that he would re-
lease all claims upon the office utensil
if he owed the latter any sum amount
ing to it's value, but if he did not then
he would still retain his claim to it.
Cope then objected on the grounds that
he was on the debit side Of the books
because of the manipulatiOns of Camp
bell, for good round sum, but further
said that he was not credited in this,
and so could mike no settlement with
him.
No agreement was reached between
the parties and as the case is set for
tomorrow morning, it is probable that
the true account of +he matter will
then be made public.

visions of this act will remain the
same-that is, $500 for so acres, or
less, and $1,000 for more than 80

the effect that a mistake had been
made.
Police all over the northwest have
been notified to keep a sharp lookout
for the missing woman and diligenr
search is being carried on in this city,
in the hopes that in a moment of tenn
porary insanity, Mrs. Werner might
have hidden somewhere.
Although nothing could be cleaned
from Mr.. Werner regarding the disap-
pearance of his wife, it is said by the
neighborS that their household was
always d most peaceful one, so abuse
or supposed mistreatment could not be
advocated as a reason for her disap-
pearance. Seemingly perfectly sane the
recent conduct of Mrs. Werner, is
hard to account for and while known
that she did not have an enemy in the
world, the mystery surrounding her
gives rise, in the thoughts of some,
to the belief that she has met with
foul play. Those who were intimately
acquainted with her, however, do not
give this side of the question any
credence, but think that being temp
orarily stricken with former malady,
she left the city, not realizing what
she was doing and will return when
she RECEIVERS from the spell.
Grave fears are felt by Mr.. Werner
today regarding the disappearance of
his wife, for it is said, that on oc
casions she has been heard to remark
that if she should ever have to be con-
fined in a sanitarium again, she would
throat ic
remembrance of these remarks that
lends sinister aspect to the mystic
riOus case, but those who know her
well, think that this is not so, as up
to the time of her disappearance, moth
ing could have been said that would
lead her to carry out the awful threat.

Rock Bottom Bid.
The bid of the Blome company, ac
cording to Mr.. Ashbrook, is just 10
cents cheaper than that on which con-
tracts in Calgary were awarded. and
with cement selling at 80 a barrel, Mr..
Ashbrook considers the estimate a de-
cidedly satisfactory one The mix
ture on which the granitOid pavement
is based calls for a greater percentage
of cement than the bases bid on by
the asphalt company, and with a main
tenance that will insure double the life
of the pavement, it is impossible for
Mr.. AshbrOok to see where there is
ground for dissatisfaction.
