city limits. Carpenter who was form
erly a Pullman barber, deserted his
wife and three small children in that
city some three months ago, after
, which he is SAID to have vibrated be-
tween this place and Spokane, making
his headquarters when here at the
lodging house conducted by Mrs.
Mamie Lemon, over the Luesing shoe
store. He was arrested in a scab bar
Der shop at Spokane last week on
complaint of his wife and taken to
Pullman. His wife, who is in delicate
health, was unable to appear against
him and he was bound over in the
sum of 1000 to appear in justice
court August 10. He was unable to
give bond at once and was taken to
the county Jail. Later, through the
agency of some friends here, Luther
Barnes and Henry Behrens, neither
of whom had ever seen the man, were
induced to go on his bond After gain
ing his freedom he came to Palouse,
where he is known by sight to but
few people.
The first of the week he made a
trip up the w. |. & NJ. and, it is re-
ported. tried to borrow money from
friends of Henry Behrens, claiming
to be a brother of the Palouse meat
dealer. 1t was about this time that
Behrens learned the kind of a man he
was bondsman for and consulted his
attorney w E. McCroskey, with the
result that the wife deserted was
turned over to the chief of police by
instruction from Behrens. He was ar
rested about II o'clock at night in
the lodging house mentioned above
and was consigned to a cell in the
city Jail for the remainder of the
night.
Wednesday morning Sheriff Car
ter was notified of the fellows arrest
and instructed that Luther Barnes,
who remained on the bond, take him
to Colfax. This was done and a new
bond was arranged, with Barnes and
Mrs. Lemon as sureties. The fellow
returned to Palouse, and at the time
of going to press was still here.
Carpenter is a man probably 35
to 3S years old, smooth face, with an
abundance of iron gray hair and a
look that would not lead anyone to
believe that he would star as pro-
teCtor of women and children.

Carpenters are Busy

Carpenters are working overtime in
Pullman and many new dwellings
are being built to supply the demand
of the big influx of families in the
fall months who come to this city to
receive the benefits of Washington
State College. All the local carpen-
tiers are busy and several have com e
from Spokane and neighboring towns
but still the supply is insufficient and
many contemplated buildings are be-
ing delayed because of lack of carpen-
tiers to do the work.
Two years ago over sixty new res
licences were erected in Pullman, but
these are now all occupied and many
families who would otherwise move
to the Artesian city are prevented
from doing so by the lack of accom-
modations. 1t is predicted that next
year will see the biggest building
boom in the history of Pullman.

THE JUDGESHIP QUESTION
New Primary Law Gives People the
Right to Nominate Two Cam
didates

The judgeship question is likely
to become interesting under the new
primary law, which has changed the
law of two years ago in two mater
ial respects. Under the new law the
two candidates that receive the high
est number of votes will appear on
all the ballots at the general election
so that the people will have the right
to nominate candidates and these will
have to be voted upon at the general
election. These names must have no
party designation so that the selec-
ton of Judge may be made on merit
and not on the strength of the DO
litical party to which the candidate
belongs.
Another change is that the names
of all the candidates on the prim airy
ballot will be alternated on the bal
lots of each precinct so that the name
of each candidate will appear first
on an equal number of ballots.
Another change is that at the pri-
mary election there must be, in addi-
ton to the party tickets, on which all
the names of candidates will appear.
separate ballot, which will contain
nothing but the names of the candi-
dates for the office of superior Judge.
This will permit persons who do not
care to declare their party affiliations
to vote at the primary election for
Judge. If one desires to do this he
will call for the judicial ballot but,
Of course, he will not be able to vote
for any other office.

Carpenter, Wife Deserter, Must Pay
So Week Toward Support of Children

Frank Carpenter, the former Pull
man barber who was arrested sew
eral weeks ago on a charge of aband-
| onment of wife and three children,
was given hearing in Justice Hen
rvs court Wednesday afternoon and
as result of the findings was placed
under $3.50 cash bond to pay 50 a
week toward the support of his three
minor children. Carpenter was rep
resented by Attorney Crane, of Spo-
Kane, of J. w. w fame, while the
prosecution was handled by Prosecut-
ing Attorney chamberlain of ColfaX.
Carpenters attorney made a very
tllmsy showing, his line of defense
being that his client had been driven
from home by Mrs Carpenter and
when this line of action fizzled out
he charged that Mrs. Carpenter had
a living husband when she married
carpenter and therefore the mar
riage was illegal. His endeavor to be-
smirch the good name of the woman
was fruitless and Judge Henry lost
no time in passing sentence.
Carpenter was given the option Of
a $500 personal or $3.50 cash bond
and chose the latter. He was escort
ed to Palouse by Marshal Baymiller
and secured the bond from Mrs. Ma
ME Lemon, proprietress of a lodging
house at that place, where Carpenter
has been staying since his arrest and
release on $1,000 bonds. To make his
defense stronger Carpenter had filed
suit for divorce from his wife, charg-
ing that she had a husband at the
time of her marriage to him, and also
that she was of quarrelsome and
quick tempered disposition.
The outcome of the trial was
watched with much interest by the
people of Pullman, where a strong
feeling has arisen against the wife
deserter, and was hailed with glad
ness by all.
Since his arrest several weeks ago
Carpenter has been living in Palouse,
and the Palouse Republic gives the
following graphic story of the mans
actions in that city.
Palouse is, temporarily it is hoped,
the abiding place of one F. F. Carpen-
ter, Pullman wife deserter who, if
half of the reports are true,is as despi-
cable a cur as ever set foot inside the

PlCkRELL APPOINTED
CoitaN Man Named by Governor Ha,
to Succeed Judge Garfield. Re-
signed.

County Auditor Duncan ON Mon
day received a telegram from Gov
ernor Nj. E. Hay to the effect that
he had appointed j. ~ Ptckren of
ColfaX, to fill the unexpired term
Of II. w. Garfield as judge of the SUI
perior court of Whitman county. I'm
mediately upon the receipt of the
message MIR. Garfield left for Spo-
kane, where he will become a law
partner of Reese Voorhees,. Judge
Pickrell will hold office until after
the general election. at which time
"a judge will be elected, and Pickrell
has already filed notice of his can
didacy for that position.
The anti-saloon league filed Wig
orous protest with Gov Hay against
the appointment of Pickrel, claiming
that he was not favorable to their
interests.
Judge Garfield has issued the fol-
lowing open letter TO the people of
Whitman County, which gives his
reasons for resigning;
Il have received an offer of bus
mess connection SO flattering that the
interests of my family and my own
future have determined me to soon
resign the office | now hold. | deeply

dence in your power, and will never
fail to hold memories of my life in
Whitman county as my choicest po-
session.
My regret at leaving the office
you have entrused to me is lessened
by the fact that my retirement will
come at time when at the primar-
les and election you can, yourselves,
select my successor.
The tendency of certain motions
made it seem advisable to withhold
any statement of my purpose to re-
tire for a few days to save the county

tons, but on August l, | mailed
a letter from my summer camp at
Lakeyiew, Idaho, announcing my de-
termination for publication in the
county papers. This letter was de-
layed in the mails and did not ar
rive in time for publication last week.

plenty of time still remains for action
at the opening primaries and cleo
ton.

Grain Fire Narrowly Averted

What might have resulted in a ser
ious grain fire was narrowly averted
Wednesday evening, when }. M.
Reid discovered a small blaze in the
loose straw around the stack on his
farm, one and half miles south of
Pullman. The fire had gained con-
siderable Roadway when discovered
by Mr.. Reid and delay of few min
utes would have meant the destruc-
ton of 900 sacks of grain which had
lust been threshed. The fire was ex-
tinguished by Mr.. Reid, with the as
sistance of neighbors, before it had
done any great damage.
