JUDGE FORGETS LIFE
FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS
Strange Study in Dual Personality Is Story Of Man
Whose Memory Slipped Back When He
Reached Old Home Town.

KENOSHA, wis. Aug. 1I-Joseph 3.
Clsrkson, formerly a judge OF this city.
who has disappeared from home twice
within the last eighteen years, and
whose last mysterious absence ended
when he recently was found working
as a mechanic in a button factory at
Sabula, Iowa, has returned to KenOsha
and is under the care of physicians.
Judge Clarkson disappeared on July
IA. and the story Of his wanderings
rivals the creation OF a story writer, for
on this second trip he went back to
the same town where, eighteen years
before, he worked as a farm hand while
suffering from the same sort Of delu-
sions. That Judge Clarkson's mind
slipped back through all those eighteen
years, and that he remembered. for a
time, only the things he knew when. as
Mr.. Doolittle," he worked near Sabuia,
is the belief Of those who have come
in contact with him.

DYNAMITE IS USED
TO CHECK FLAMES
Loss at Port Jervis Is One
Million-Negro Loot
erS Routed.

PORT JERVIS, n. Y, Aug. u.-Dyna-
hitting early today stopped the spread
Of flames that had wiped out practical
" the entire business section Of Mon
ticello, the fashionable summer resort
IN Sullivan county.
The loss will be more than $1,000, 600.
Hundreds OF summer colonists are tenn
pora7ily homeless. and have lost all
personal belongings.
A band Of Iooters who appeared on the
scene when baggage and furniture from
the burning buildings were piled high
In the streets, was driven from the town
ny 2 sherinrs posse, after several hand
to-hand fights. Most Of the Iooters were
negroes.
Aid was summoned from this town,
Liberty and Middletown WREN the
spread Of the flames threatened the
business section, but despite the ut
most efforts Of the firemeu, supple
mented by scores of wealthy summer
residents. the rush Of flames could not
be stopped. Early today the situation
grew desperate. and dynamiting was
resorted to. A broad swath OF build
ings was wrecked in the path OF the
flames and this enabled the fire fighters
TO gain control
The SIRE originated in the Murray
electric plant, in the center of the
town The only casualty that marked
the blaze was the slight injury Of one
fireman.
Mocticello has a normal population
Of 300. but the summer residents aug
merit the number to I0G0. Wealthy re-
sorters and the tOwnspeOple worked
side by side in fighting the flames.

Sunday Closes Work at Spokane

Billy Sunday said goodby tc
Spokane Sunday night From the
platform where for six weeks he
has put inordinate strains on the
carpet and furniture, he spoke to
5000 people with a gentler tone in
his voice than he heretofore has
used, with sadness of parting in
stead of fierce denunciation of evil;
ard the people, on their feet and
waving hats and handkerchiefs,
sent him on his way with a thank
offering of more than $4,000. In
doing this they made a national
record, for while Sunday has re-
ceived one larger Offering, it was in
a city where the cost of conducting
meetings was not half that borne
by the people of Spokane. In six
weeks the city has contributed, be-
sides the thankoffering, $4,000 for
the expenses of the revival, inlcud-
ing the building of the tabernacle,
the greatest structure of its kind
ever erected in the northwest.
Sunday said his words of fare
we'll to all who could crowd into
the auditorium. while hundreds
outside, unable to get in would not
leave when the doors were closed,
but thronged around to catch at
intervals few of the evangelist 8
words when the building was
thrown open for ventilation.. Many
of those who could not gain admis-
sion brought their contributions to
the thankoffering, and managed in
some way to get them to the treas
urer in the tabernacle. Men were
heard to offer SIS for seat, and in
one case sale was effected and the
money turned into the Offering,
while the. man who had sold his
seat crowded against the wall with
hundreds of Others VIII were there.
Total number Of protested converts
during the six weeks services were
1866.

"We have approximately 200, 900
tons of ore in sight, 100000 tons of
a gross value of $40 ton and
100000 tons of second-grade ore of
a gross value of S. ton. IN pro-
ducing the ore now in sight, which
has a gross value of 81 100000,
there should be IA profit OF $3.50, 900.
Should the prices of metals adj
vance in the meantime the profits

made to the ockholders of the
United Copper Mining Co. in the
report submitted at the second an
nnal meeting by Conrad Wolfe,
president and manager. During
the year 1908, according to the
managers report, a crew of men,
averaging 25, was continuously
employed and $19,466 was paid out
in wages. Approximately 5000
tons of ore was shipped during the
wear. all of which was taken out
during the course of development
work. and there is now approxi-
mately 200 tons of good ore broken
down and ready for shipment. A
railroad spur to the mine. which is
six miles from Chewelah, has been
assured.

Iowa was having, and made COM
parison with the weather at New

hand in the game, and handed a
bunch to Talmadge. which his latest
issue tells about as follows:
Last week in these columns we
took occasion to call attention to
the mildness of the winter weather

Kirkpatrick Is Prosecutor

The dispute between H. G. Kirk
patrick and ]. A. Rockford as to
the right of holding the Office Of
prosecuting attorney was settled on
Feb. by J. A. Rochford's with
drawing from the contest.
1t was stipulated between Mr..
Rockford and Mr.. Kirkpatrick that
quo warranto proceedings should
be instituted to ascertain who is
the prosecuting attorney of the
this county. 1t was furt hermore
stipulated that Judge KEENAN,, of
Spokane, should hear the case on
the afternoon of Feb. 3.
On Judge Remnants arrival in
Colville he was met by attorneys
representing both sides.
After investigating the authori-
ties on the point in dispute it was
agreed that Mr.. Kirkpatrick is the
Qualified prosecuting attorney Of
Stevens county.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick had fled his
oath of Office and bond. Mr.. Roch-
ford contended that the oath of
Office having been taken before
notary public in California invali-
dated the oath of Office; that the
oath of office should be taken be-
fore some officer in the state of
Washington, who was qualified to
administer said oath. This was
the point in dispute which was
settled in Mr.. Kirkpatrick's favor
by counsel who had investigated
the law of the case.
