of the wheels of law-for the day
when Ruth Harris may become his
wife.
The hour hand of the law moves
slowly. Ruth Harris has already
been in Jail more than a week, and
still her happy day of redemption
seems far away. What sort of lega!
or moral justice it is that keeps
her, in her condition, in such a
place as this and withholds from
her the marriage protection Lais
ure should and says he will give
her?
Ruth Harris has no means OF
properly caring for herself and
none to comfort her when she Is Ill
and dispirited; she must bear it as
best she can alone. Her mother
who lives in North Yakima, has moi
yet come to her.
The plain fare of the city prison
IS her food. No Injuries, no dainty
extras are there for her. She is
under sentence as vagrant, be
cause she trusted not wisely.
Ruth has found a place where
she can stay till she is made Yves
ley Laisure's wife. That has all
been arranged and she can have
comfort and attention in her hours
of need. She can prepare like any
woman must for the ordeal ahead
She will not run away. But the
officers who hold her and Laisure
have decided that there's no need
of hurrying matters.
There are just Is other women
three negro women, one Indian
squaw and nine other white women
in this little women's ward.
Ruth was reading her bible, a lit
tie worn black testament, when the
reporter called to see her this
morning. She got it just yesterday
from woman who had called to
see her, and she has been reading
much of the time ever since. She
has thrown away her cigarets and
her rough, profane expressions are
noticeably absent from her CONVEX
sations.

to go from Kennebec bay to the

all seen the pictures in the maya

beaming little boy, strapped to a

pictures another wonderful thing
happened-an immediate warm

more began f1uttering into the Sea

CUT WITH CLEAVER
in KITCHEN FIGHT

An alteration that came close to
a murder took place in the restau-
rant conducted by Lewis Russell at
OILY Monroe street. Up to two
months ago the restaurant was car
ried on under the name>o Russell
& Gibbs, at which time the part
nership was dissolved and Russell
assumed the liabilities and gave a
note to Gibbs for his share of the
business. Gibbs has been boarding
at the restaurant ever since, on the
meal ticket plan. This morning his
meal ticket ran out and he asked
for another. Some hot words fol
lowed, over the debt, and it took
but a short time before the argu-
ment became fight.
Gibbs claims that Russell pulled
his coat down over his head and
began to assault him. Not being
able to see or defend himself, he
grabbed a cleaver on the table be-
side him, and threatened to do
things to Russed, and in the mixup
that followed Russell got cut.
Russels story is that he was at
work in his kitchen when Gibbs
came in and demanded money from
him in payment of the note, which
he was unable to give him.
"He called me a few masses and
we mixed it up, and the fiIst thing
| know | felt my head oteM and
the blood squirt out"

Attorney Alex Winston this after.

trial of Clein for the murder of
Saudawski taken out of the supe-

liam c. Cole, who has been three years
at the Nebraska University. has ac-
cepted the position of coach of Ten
nessee University. The disastrous sea
son of Tennessee University this year
has been attributed to Coach George
Levene. and when his contract had

would be secured in his place. The
position at Tennessee will pay Cole
the same salary that he got at Ne
braska University.
Cole is leaving Nebraska for the
same reason that Levene is leaving

feated Nebraska at Lincoln this year
