ARHoeAsT MURDER TRIAL.
Making Slow Progress in the St. Paul
Courts.


st. Paul, Oct. 25.-After three days,
the trial of Mrs. Louis Arbogast for
the number of her husband has made
little progress.
An important witness for the state
was sprung when Isidore Abraham
son, the first outsider to reach the
Arbogast home after the actual MUIR
der, told straightforward story,
showing that members of the family
knew Louis Arbogast had been hurt
when he arrived, very soon after
o'clock, and gave detailed facts, lock-
ing the door, it is said, against any
possible theory of an outside assassin.
The witness stated that Arbogast
was stark naked in bed; that the fire
was fresh and that bunch of feathers
was burning on the back steps. He
also testified that he met Mrs. Arbo-

Knocked Down by Team.

Hon. s. j. Walton was run into and
knocked down by team, Saturday,
just as he was passing from the car to
the sidewalk, lat the termination Of the
Somerset Traction line ON Madison
avenue. He had just come from his
home and was on the way to his
Office for the afternoon. The horse,
driven by j. Ii. Murray, the oil man,
became frightened at the car and
jumped forward suddenly, the thill
hitting Mr.. Walton and the impact
throwing him down with good deal
of violence. Papers and documents
in pocket upon which the end of
the thill struck doubtless saved Mr..
Walton from q broken rib. AS it was
his side was severely bruised. He
was able to proceed to his business
and since finds himself a little lame
from his adventure, but very thank
full, withall, that no more serious in

Out In Idaho.

With cast entirely adequate to
the requirements of the play, headed
by Miss Dorothy Kurtis who assumes
the role of Bess Carson, Fred'k N.
Brush's production of "Out In Idaho"
will be seen at the Skowhegan Opera
House, Saturday evening, May 18th.
Miss Kurtis work in character study
for several seasons past has given her
unique position in the theatrica.
world, having appeared in such pieces
as "Way Down East', "The Girl from
the Golden West", "The Chorus
"Out In Idado" she has part which
gives her remarkable opportunity for
the display of her splendid talents.
The scenes OF this typical western
drama are laid In Idaho in the year
1849; when thousands of people,
dazzled by the glitter of possible
wealth, rushed to the California coast
in search of hidden riches. But the
older generation of to-day knows
that all the dramatic incidents in
connection with this gold hunt were
not enacted in California. Many of
the treasure seekers never got as far
west as the state by the Pacific coast,
and 1t Is with a few of these who
paused in Idaho that this play deals
In thrilling manner. No one who
has ever been fascinated by tales of
gold hunting will go away after see

New Offices Occupied.

Doctors W. s. Stinchfield and Chas.
R. Viles have been moving into their
new office suite in the J. P. Merrill
block this week. These two profess
sional gentlemen opened Offices to-
gether at the corner of Water street
and Madison avenue in 1902. The
building in which they were located
was destroyed by FIRE September s.,
1907 and they have since had offices
over the G. r. Fogg drug store. They
took a lease OF the quarters they are
now to occupy, before the completion
of the building, and the apartments
were designed and fitted for their use.
The suite above mentioned, in the
J. P. Merrill block, is to the right of
the lobby on the second floor. 1t ex-
tends through from the front to the
rear of the building 80 that its south
ern windows open on Water street
and the windows at the rear admit the
light from the north, the latter con-
sideration being considered impor-
tant by surgeon dentists in their work
of filing and extracting.
Doors from the lobby admit either
to DR.. Stinchfield's offices, which
overlook Water street, to DIR. Viles'
apartments, on the northerly side OF
the building, or to large reception,
room, located between the two suites,
communicating with them both and
designed to be used as a waiting room
for those who come to consult either
doctor or dentist. Regarding these
offices as permanent location where
they hope to do business for many
years, Doctors Stinchfleld and Viles
have devoted good deal of thought
to their arrangement and have intend
ed to omit nothing which would pro-
vide for the convenience and comfort
of themselves or their customers.
Each room seems admirable for its
own purposes and perfect in its rela-
tion to others of the suites. Messrs.
Stinchfield and Vlles should certainly
feel contented and happy in their new
professional home.

Young Man in London
Court Astonishes Judge
as He Tells of Daring Elk
periences in Crime.


London, May PA thief. vain
enough to write his autobiography
fully describing his exploits, amazed
the court at the London sessions on
Tuesday. This individual. a young
man of rs, of average height, Slim
ly built and clean shaven, who gave
the name OF William Parker. pleaded
guilty TO having been found by night
az Dartmouth Park Hill, Kentish
Town, in the unlawful possession of
2 Jimmy and ten keys. Detective
Inspector Neil said Parker first came
under his notice in December, 1904.
when he was sentenced to fifteen
months hard labor for housebreak-
ing. At that time he had been liv-
ing In little work shop, which was
also a sort OF bungalow, The accus-
ed using it not only as a builders
shop, but as a bed and sitting room.
He had so fixed up the place that by
means of secret door, through
which he cou d enter and leave I'M
seen by night, he could get to the
backs OF houses aad commit rob
berries with 'mpuEity, returning 10
his bungalow with his booty with
out being observed. Continuing.
Inspector Neil said that Parker was
only released from prison on August
II last year. AT the time OF his
capture at Dartmouth Park Hill the
prisoner smashed bottle, which in
vestigation showed had contained
ether, and he was provided with n
quantity OF cotton wool-"for his
toothache" he explained. The reason
or his arrest, said Inspector Neil,
was to prevent him from commit
ting much more serious crime. In
formation had reached the police
that the prisoner had ascertained
that an old lady of eccentric habits
who lived alone In house, kept all
her savings in her residence. The
prisoner was sent to approach and
enter the garden of her residence
and his idea was this: He intend
ed to break in, attack and chloro-
form the Cd lady, and rob her.
Parker had written the story of his
life, and he entitled it, Fallen
Among Thieves" III his preface he
wrote:
Dear Comrades-The chief object
of my writing this book and emitting

give you little idea that it does
