who the five armed and riotous citizens

FLORENCE MOORE.

SEATTLE, Jan. 22.-Giggling,
simpering and as vulgarly vivacious
as ever, Florence Moore, who lured
Ortis Hamilton to a felon's cell, is
back in Seattle. She is back, broke
but serenely happy and confident
that her financial worries are soon
to be dissipated.
And down in Olympia, Ortis Ham
ilton, former adjutaant general, as
sociate of gentlemen, husband
and | a father, sitting out the
hours which are between him and
the penitentiary-from one to 10
years, the penalty says.
Florence Moore is staying with a
Mrs. Henderson, who came with
her. When seen by reporter this
morning, this woman who didn't
care" was in happy mood.
Just as a matter of elephantine
coquettishness she at first denied
her identity, having no difficulty in
giving her denials vast air of siUp
cerity. AT the proper time, she gra-
ciously confessed that she was
Mrs. Moore" and extended a
hearty invitation to come in and
have a drink"
What do you think of the SEN
tence imposed on Ortis Hamilton?"
was the first question asked after
the necessary preliminaries.
"Te-he-he," she rippled, in
clumsy, girlish affectation. 1T was
rather rough, wasn't it?' -
And then she looked dreamily out
of the window, while a reminiscent
smile played over her features.
That she had no thought of the
man she sent to the bottom is cer-
tain. AS a bit of information, Ham,
ilton's sentence interested her, but
as she hummed, keeping time with
her foot, there was no indication of
regret, even for the passing of a
good fellow"
where did you come FROM" was
the next question.
Playfully and almost daintily she
affected to scratch her head with a
highly polished forefinger, while her
face took on the stern look of rec
objection. She was play acting, try
ing to be funny, but the thought Of
Hamilton, the fool made 1t tragic.
Il don't remember where l came
FROM" she finally answered.

A CONCESSION
FROM CHINA

WASHINGTON, Ian. 22-Almost
simultaneously with the rejection
by Japan and Russia of Secretary
KnoXs plan for the naturalization
of the Manchuria railroad, the Chi
nese government issued an imperial
order granting permission for the
construction of an American and
British railroad from Chan Foo to
Port Aigun. This was learned to-
day from a dispatch from Henry

The granting of this official per-

years by his own father, a Michi-

belle of his native town and short
ly after was charged with forging
the name of his wife's mother to a
$500 mortgage. 1t was alleged he
had taken that amount and fled.
He was recognized on the streets
here by the deputy sheriff of Gra-

THREE BAD ACCIDENTS
IN ONE NIGHT HERE
BROKEN HEADS, KNIFE CUTS
AND BULLET WOUNDS
FIGURE IN DRAMAS.

Three serious accidents, in addi-
tion to a shooting affair, made
Steward Dare Of the Emergency
hospital a busy man last night.
When he wasn't sewing up broken
heads, he was patching a man who
had been slashed with a knife, or
digging bullet out of a mans side.
At about 1890, Lee Deman, 22
years of age, was brought in with
a broken head. He had been beat
ing his way on the train. About 20
miles out of Spokane, on the North
ern Pacific, he lost his hold and
was hurled to the hard track. He
was picked up by a good "Samari-
tan who paid his way to this city.
The young man suffered a scalp
wound from the crown of his head
to his forehead, and was seriously
bruised. He will recover. Deman's
father is cigarmaker here.
Then Frank Boland, a railroad
laborer, 25 years of age, was
brought in. He had been struck
over the head with a heavy beam
while at work for Porter Brothers
near the Greenwood cemetery He
had suffered a scalp wound over
three inches long, and was in a
serious condition.
John Harmon, who was slashed
with knives in the local Northern
Pacific yards by two mysterious
persons, was the third man to be
sewed up by the steward. Harmon
was slashed about the body, and It
required 10 stitches to close his
wounds. The young man, 22 years
of age, stays at the Ondawa Inn.
His story is that he was strolling
along the n. p. tracks, near the
depot, when he was attacked. He
Is not certain whether it was two
or three men.
