Anyway. Miles Poindexter did a
most unusual thing. He reached
across the table that interviewed

the opposing ~counsel's nose. The
laugh that followed was not pleas

counsel; perhaps the proprieties Of
the court were shocked: but, any
way, Poindexter won the case. and

Here Is what Representative
Poindexter said about the breach
between the insurgents and the reg
tIlars of the republican party:
There can be no backward step
in progressive republicanism. 1t is
childish to suppose that threats Of
withdrawal of patronage or any op-
position will cause progressive re-
publicans to abandon principles that
they regard as vital, and that they
have adopted after mature deliber-

Today all Of our large cities are
owned and absolutely controlled by

For instance Spokane, where Jim
Hill holds first mortgage and the
Washington Water Power Co. takes
care of the second mortgage. AT
present we have numerous big
hearted candidates telling the peo-
pie how prosperous they are, and
how much more success will be
theirs If they are elected-a close
investigation reveals big heart,
but so tough that you could not
drive a railroad spike in 1t. They
are all so interested In the dear

the ground that the commissioners
had issued an order against treat

The matter was then taken up
with the county commissioners,
who agreed that the man should be
treated. The assistant county ply
stefan, DR.. Newell, was called in,
and gladly went to the aid Of the
sick man. The room where Milan
was housed was almost without
light or ventilation, and the doctor
had to light match to find him.
The mans condition was so serious
that DR.. Newell ordered his re-
moval to the Sacred Heart hospital,
where he is still being cared for.

of Ludington, to Florida, where the
Herricks are spending the winter.
Latschaw attempted TO force his at
tentions upon Herrick's youngest
daughter. He had often threatened
the family and was seen proving
about at night until the protection of
the police was solicited. He was re.
garded as of unsound mind by the po-

arrested some time ago on a charge
of criminal assault.
Latschaw formerly owned a farm
