CLAIMS NO DIVORCES
FROM MANY MARRIAGES
Fioncer Justice of Dayton Says
Result of His Hand;work
b Is Unexcelled.

SPOKANE. April 25.-John w. Hol-
man, called the marrying justice of
Columbia county," living at Dayton.
Wash, claims an unique record in that
among the 500 couples united in mar
rage by him during the last 90 years
We're representatives of every state in
the Union and several provinces in
Canada, also that so far as can be
learned there have been no separa-
tons by law. His first service was at
the wedding of two couple of emil
grants, while the 430th he perform ed
was for their two eldest children.
Justice Holman does not claim his
not is more binding than those tied by
clergyman or magistrate. but he be-
lieves the fact that no divorce cases
have resulted so far indicates there is
a higher regard for the vows taken
in his home town than elsewhere in
the Pacific northwest or in fact, any
where on this continent. That he has
many warm friends in various parts
of the United States and Canada is
evidenced by stacks of letters and
cores of remembrances from people in
all walks of life, at whose weddings
he ofliciated.

KING PIN SPUD MAN
is PATRICK MULLINS
Sends Potatoes East Which Makes
Reliable New York Times Drop
Into Common Big Talk.

Pat Mullins, builder of business
blocks, has suddenly broken into the
limelight as the kingpin potato man
of the Yakima country. If the North
ern Pacific railroad dining car officials
hear of his proweSs he VIII be roped
and set to work as a spud cultivator
and if Madame Schumann-He ink is
unable to grow such spuds on her New
Jersey farm as she ate when she didn't
come to North Yakima, Mr. Mullins
is likely to be kidnapped to go to the
little old eastern state and show how
the trick is done.
Potato growers, like prophets, are
not without honor save in their own
country and therefore it is that the
New York papers have first chronicled
the story Of the Mullins spuus. The
potatoes" says the New York Times
brought $500 a piece, We're II inches
ia length and weighed five pounds
each. One potato when mashed was
sufficient for twelve people," and
nothing is said ebout the fragments
which were gathered in baskets afte,

Had to Show Proof.
Mr.. Mullins says the spuds must
have grown a little going east and he
tells his story simply. Thomas M. Hod-
gems of Ill Broadway, N. Y, had been
in North Yakima and on returning
home had told his friends something
about the potatoes grown in this Sec
ton and, of course, was not believed

PRISONERS FAIL
IN JAIL DELIVERY
Two Dead and Three Wounded
as Result of Bold Dash for
Liberty by Desperadoes.

CANON CITY, Colo, April 25.-
Two convicts were killed and two
others and a guard wounded in a des-
perate attempt of the prisoners to
escape from the state pententiary
here tonight. The dead are: Harry
Brophy and Andrew Johnson;
wounded, John Bradley, ". J. Will
liams and Cell Housekeeper Emery
When Emery threw the lever open
ing the doors of the cell house to
admit members of the prison orch
estra at $50 tonight, Brophy, who
had filed a key to his CELL jumped
into the corridor drew a revolver he
had concealed in his blankets and
shot Emery in the leg, disabling him.
Brophy then unlocked the cells
of Johnson, Bradley, Williams and
John Miller with his improvised key.
Then then broke out one of the bars
of the window that had been sawed
nearly through and using Emerys
body as a Shield, Brophy and Will
lams forced their way through into
the prison yard. They We're chal-
lenged by a guard on the walls ana
Brophy answered with a fuslade of
shots. The guard returned the fire,
shooting Brophy through the head
Johnson attempted to follow Will
Jams and Brophy through window
and was shot and killed by another
guard. Williams in the meantime
had reached the shelter of the walls
and was lighting a fuse attached to
five sticks of dynamite which he had
placed against the wall when he was
seen by Warden lyman, who shot him
in the leg. Warden lyman and Guard
Russell then rushed to the dollhouse,
where they found Bradley hiding in
an empty cell with a bullet wound in
the abdomen. 1t has not been ascer-
tanned how Bradley was hurt, Miller
was found unhurt in the dollhouse
and locked up. Brophy evidently
planned the attack sometime ago, as
the key with which he opened the
cells was of intricate design and must
have taken many weeks to make.

the Spokane man. according to his

BIG ESTATE LEFT
BY AGED CLERK
Frugal Erploye in Wall Street
Amasses 100000 in
Half Century.

NEW YORK, April 25-When
Charles F. Hoffman, 20 years age,
closed his desk at the Wall street
office of Brown Bros, year ago, af-
ter fifty years of hard work, and
went to his modest house in State
street. Brooklyn, he. commanded SYM
pathy because of the belief that ho
was virtually alone IN the world and
with only the most modest fortune
to show for half century of labor.
This week the Strengthening out of
the legal tangle in connection with his
will revealed the fact that he had
unostentiously piled up nearly 3d.
100000, and, in fact, for years had
been one of the millionaires of New
York, although unknown as such to
all but his closest business associates.
Sitting at his desk in the Brown
Bros office he had been regarded as
merely a clerk, though he once had
charge of the firms business. He
was unassumng and quiet in manner,
of simple tastes, and absorbed in bus
mess. Always the first in the office
in the morning, he was the last to
leave it at night.
He died unexpectedly on April g.
last year. BY the terms of his will,
large legacies We're bequeathed to
his brother, his sister, an aunt. and
two nieceS, Carolyn and Margaret
Hoffman, while the residue was to go
to his mother. The latter, however,
and the brother and sister died be-
fore he did.
Under the decision of the court
more than 100000 is to be divided
between the nieces and the aunt, Mrs.
Inez Hoffman Spagnola, while the
heirs of the sister and brother get
nothing.

He wrote to Mr.. Mullins for few
samples but the pits were closed and
few We're available.
Recently, Mr.. Mullins was able to
procure the proof of the stories the
eastern man had told and forwarded
them to him. They were placed on
exhibition in the Netherland hotel In

gleefully sent the clipping to Mr..
