Colonel Gilbert Pierce, the late
minister to Portugal, once picked up
in his arms a young lady who stood
hesitating at the corner of a street in
ar Indiana village, unable to cross it,
because a shower had filled it with a
rushing torrent of water.
The young lady submitted without
protest while the colonel strobe gal
lantly through the torrent until he
deposited his fair charge on the OPP
posite sidewalk, with dry feet. "Sirl'
she then said, indignantly, "are you
aware that you have insulted me?"
81 vas not aware of it." replied the
colonel, but, seeing that you are
right, | beg TO make amends"
So saying, he picked up the pro-
testing damsel and restored her to the
point where he had first made her
acquaintance.

WERE COFER BOYS
UlNJUSTL Y JAILED?

and was there arrested by a rail
road detective. The letter was
found in his pockets. 1t was seized
upon as a rare bit of evidence and
no explanation the wife could
make helped matters.
The engineer and fireman of the
train Gsimed to recognize the
Golfer b, 3 as the bandits and the
railroad detectives had numerous
clues from which men in their bust
ness believe they read stories OF
crimes. They had searched the
elder Mrs. Cofer's home for some
thing to go on and yesterday one
of them went and got pair Of old
trousers that the younger Mrs
Golfer had washed and packed in
her husbands grip for him to wear
in Montana, where he had gone to
get work. The description of the
robbers was that one of them wore
light pants. It was also stated thai
the tallest weighed 1870. Ernest, the
tallest of the Golfers, weighed 12o
pound. having been sick. 1t was
also stated that the robbers were
railroad men, whereas the Golfer
boys had never worked on a rail-
road. If the sworn statements OF
the men who testified for the boys
are not perjury they would have
had to make the trip to Colbert
hold up the train and get back to
this city, travelling 80 miles, In
something like an hours time. The
train was robbed at 1880. A re-
ward of 100000 is out for the rob
bers.
This is a glimpse Of the case as
it appears to the mother and wife,
Unless their !nnoncence becomes
so apparent as TO be plain even to
a railroad detective the boys must
remain in Jail until the next feder'
al grand jury in September.
Meanwhile Spokane officers be-
lieve that Downer and Torgensen,
who are in Jail at Omaha. are the
real robbers.

NEW UNION SCALE
REJECTED

Hotel and restaurant owners

scale of prices with the culinary
crafts. The scale presented by the
local unions of cooks, walters and
mattresses has been rejected and
the old agreement has been treat
ed In q similar manner The efil-
ployes of local restaurants and
members OF local unions generally

GUS restaurants to declare for an

fight to retain their union organize
ton and maintain present working
conditions.
1t is not expected that all local
restaurants will adopt the open
shop policy, as number Of own
ers of restaurants and hotels
are in sympathy with the working
class and want to see their ems
ployes receive enough pay to be
able to live decently. There are q
number of local restaurant men,
however, who are bitter in their
opposition to unions and are ex-
pacted to try to break up union
organizations.

NEW COMMISSIONERS HOPED
70 RETRIEVE PAST ERRORS
BY JUNE I, BUT THEY DIDN'T
KNOW HOW MATTERS
STOOD.

When F. X. McBrpom and J. S.
Philips entered upon their duties
as dounty commissioners last Janu-
aryS they announced that they
hoped, by economy and care in
coaaty expenditures, to get the
financial affairs of the county on a
cash basis by June /.
But the extent of the credit bust
ness being carried on by the
county was not known to them at
that. time, and it now begins to
appear as If it will reqpire good
part of another year to enable the
county to pay all Of it's warrants
without first stamping them, mot
paid for want of funds"
Ittnow develops that almost the
entire business of the county was
done on a credit basis and that
whos the change in commissioners
took place, warrants in excess OF
$250.D00 were outstanding, on
which the county was paying six
per Gent interest to the banks and
private holders of the warrants.
By this peculiar method of finan-
ciaI. management the county has
for Pears been at least one year be-
hind in its cash account and has
paid from $4,000 to 100000 per
year interest on outstanding
county warrants. This has given
rise. to an active traffic in county
warrants, in which deputies in the
different county offices have acted
as agents for banks or private indi-
vidnals and solicited the purchase
of cuinty warrants. witnesses fees
and other forms OF county obliga-
tionE without any questions being
asked.
Comfy Treasurer Stewart Is un.
able to give the present standing
of the warrant Indebtedness Of the
county until after the next call for
warrants by the treasurer on

debt of the county amounted to

banks, whereas 1t was paying six
per cent on the immense amoun,
of warrants outstanding on that
date.
County Commissioner Phillips
has been In favor of the county
paying its bills from the cash on

warrants as collateral In the re-

taken at he banks gladly and
could be converted into cash at

money from the respective funds.
Legal objections were raised
against this plan, and the county is

If the faith of white haired
