Hooks Gets Sixteen Years

For the murder of Robert Boan and H. L. Bray one Sunday last October, a jury of the criminal court of Mont gomery county on Wednesday gave Ben Hooks. a negro, 16 years in the peniten- tiary. Bray and Bean were money lend- CTS agents and had had trouble with the wife of Hooks who swore on the stand that they abused her. Relating, as it does to the money-lending crusade that is going on, the case of the negro at tracted much attention Many white peo- pie were very much in sympathy with him, and the fact that he escaped the gallows is testimony to the feeling, as he did not, according to the evidence, give either of his victims much of a chance for life.

.|MPR OVEMENT IS
MARVELLOUS
Sioux City Official Says We
natchee's Activity is
Unparalleled.

B. j. Andrews, of Sioux City, Iowa,
is a guest of his former townsman,
D. l.. Pratt, of the Chelan Butte Or
chards company. Mr.. Andrews was
for several years a member of the
city council of his city during which
time he acted as president of that
body and performed many of the du-
ties of mayor.
The Iowa visitor was interested in
looking over the improvement work
now under way in this city because
he was involved in much of that kind
of work in his own city. To a re-
porter of the World this morning he
stated that he has never seen a city
of twice the size of Wenatchee in
which so much was being accom-
plished at the same time.
Referring to the difficulties of a
city official, Mr.. Andrews remarked
that the bane of his life has been
the misunderstanding in the minds
of good fellow citizens which cause
them to heap unjust criticism upon
the heads of their public servants.
Giving a leaf from his own expert
ence, he told of friend in Sioux
City who met him on the street car
one day and at once poured out a
severe criticism upon the way a GER
tain improvement in one of the addi-
tions was being handled. When the
true facts were explained, the critic
begged his pardon and said his in
formant had totally misrepresented
the case. 1t is just as common for
good officials to be misunderstood
and misrepresented as for bad Off
Gals to get any foothold
Mr.. Andrews says the commission
form of government is now being
tried in his home city, but that it is
not proving to be a success in all
particulars. Personally he would
like to see a return to the former
system of mayor and council.

THOUGHT He WAS
ROBBED
Clerk at Ellis Forde's Will
Not Be Careless With
Money Hereafter.

During the rush hour yesterday
afternoon an episode occurred at
Ellis-Forde's which for an hour
promised serious developments. Some
patrons were in the furniture de-
partment making purchases. When
they left one of the parties, a young
man, picked up a coat which he sup
posed belonged to his father-in-law,
a very respectable rancher of the val
lew, who had gone on down the
stairs. The mistake was not dis
covered by the country people until
they had reached their home, about
two miles out of the city.
The coat was the property of
Ellsworth McCarle. a clerk in the
furniture department. 1t contained
.$15S in cash. He had laid the coat
down while waiting on the custo-
mers and did not notice its disap-
pearance for a minute. BY that time
the customers were gone.
A call was sent to the police, and
soon Sheriff Ferguson, Chief Inscho
and officer Van Landingham were
at the store. C. G. Hall volunteered
the use of his auto for a chase of
the supposed culprits. Unable to
find them, the return was made in
a short time. Meanwhile the ranch
ers had discovered the mistake and
phoned in to the store. Within an
coat, which was found to contain
every cent of the money.
