|. w. w. SECRETARY
UNDER ARREST
HaslewOOd is Wanted by Spokane
Authorities

Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sher-
IFS Adams and Sawyer placed Fred
w. Haslewood under arrest on re-
QUESTION papers from Governor M.
E. Hay of Washington. Before the
prisoner could be turned over to
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh of Spo-
kane, Chief Sullivan and Detective
Burns, the sheriff was served with
notice of habeas corpus proceedings.
Haslewood is the treasurer OF the /.
w. W., the organization that has
been making war on Spokane's street
speaking ordinance since last fall.
He had evidently been anticipating
this move on the part of the off,
cials, for his effects were partially
packed. The county officials were
accompanied by Chief OF Police Nc
Govern. The habeas corpus proceed
ing will be heard before Judge Dunn
tomorrow. Haslewood was detained
long enough to place him un Yer $2,-
900 bonds, signed by Gus Nelson, I'M
dertaker, Sidney A. Bartlett, osteo-
path, and D. F. ROSS, photographer,
all of this city. The local officers
deny taking charge of Haslewood's
papers or other effects. Requisition
for Haslewood has been made on
Governor Brady. Pending the arriv-
al of these papers Hasiewood will be
held in custody by the local officers.
An application for an injunction
to restrain Sheriff Bailey and the
Spokane officers from interfering with
the papers and other effects in the
Office of Fred w. Haslewood was
made this morning and taken under
advisement by Judge Dunn.
In the early stages of the l. w. w.
fight in Spokane Haslewood came to
Occur dAlene, where he has kept an
Office and has received funds for car
rying on the contest with the authori-
ties Of Spokane.

blaze started n Campbell's butcher
shop, located on the east side Of the
principal business street up from the

was waiting on customers when the
ceiling in the rear of the building
was found ablaze, evidently ignited
from a defective fiue. A strong wind
was blowing from the northeast, and
the building being frame. but little
resistance was offered to the spread
OF the flames.
The village has no water system,
and the small chemical engine II pos
sesses was OF little use, only mea-
ger supply of chemicals being on
hand Bucket brigades formed and
the citizens put up splendid fight
to save goods from burning stores, In
which they were assisted by about
so Japanese laborers from the Great

stopped the fire.
On the west side OF the street
Jackson's store and the Hamburg
saloon were badly seorehed.
Dynamite would have been resort
ed to sooner and progress of the fire
stopped. but the dynamite was froz-

THIEVlNG COLT IS
ARRESTED BY HORSE
Old callph Keeps Eyes Open and De-
tects Animal Which Stole
His Dinners

NEW YORK. March 5.-A fine look
ing. powerful horse, with his teeth fas-
tened viciously in the name of a
souealing colt which he was leading
from the stable to the yard, was
scene recently witnessed in the stable
yard of w. II. O'Connor. 2276 Arthur
avenue.
The horse was Caliph, formerly Of
the police department and the colt was
a malefactor whom he had detected
and apprehended. Caliph was once
known as the most intelligent animal
in the city police stables. Ridden by
Mounted Policeman John Y. Smith, he
once saved the lives of four girls at
once in Central park by throwing him
self in front of a runaway and knock
ing it down.
The colt has no particular history of
his own. but has a glorious pedigree.
His list of dams goes back through his
father, Captain Hayes. to Wabash
Belle. 1887: Belle Wabash, 1852; Mary
Punch, 1894; Kate, 1922, to Bradley
Beans, 1S06-a longer pedigree than
most any family living in the neigh
horhood. But aristocratic blood has
not improved the morals of Captain
Hayes, jr, as the colt is called, for he
is a thief
There are several other horses in Mr..
the colt are turned out to exercise in
the yard, and Mr. O'Connor puts their
grain i'm the managers. The colt has
been in the habit of sneaking in while
the other horses were exercising, or off
at work on a moving van, as Caliph is
most of the time, and eating up their
grain. leaving his own to eat later.
Caliph couldn't understand why,
when he worked so, hard every day,
that his owner gave him no grain.
Then he noticed, although there was
no grain in the manger. that there was
always the smell Of it there every day
when he came from work. He got
suspicious, as an old police horse nat
urally would, and began nOsing around
IN the other stalls. While sleuthing he
noticed that, although all the other
horses apparently had eaten their
grain, the colt stood in his stall. his
grain not half eaten and with no appe-
tite left. That was cleW enough for
him.
The other day when Calphs owner
did not send him out on the van he
decided TO catch the thief. Instead of
going out at noon into the yard he
backed into a. dark corner of the sta
BILE and waited. He saw Mr. OCOnnor
go from stall to stan putting in the
cracked corn. Then a shadow crossed
the door and in sneaked Captain
Hayes, jr., and began to eat Caliphs
grain That was when the indignant
old horse leaped forward ana grabbed
the colt by the name and pulled him
out into the yard before all the others,
branding him as the thief.
