eff at first you don't succeed, try,
try again. How true that wise old
saying is was proved in Leavenworth
by the experience of William Nelson
Cromwell.
Deciding to take unto himself a
wife he opened correspondence with
the J. w. Slosser's correspondence
school, of Gray's Lake, Ill. In due
time he graduated and the faculty
sent him a diploma, but the diploma
blew away. 1t ble waway while he
left it at a hotel in Wenatchee and

Lothario William Nelson Crom-
we'll wanted some pressing matters
himself, and, nothing daunted by the
loss of one diploma, set about to Sc
cure another one.
That was only a week ago, but 1t
did not take so long this time, on
account of past experience in the
game. Full details are not yet at
hand and it is not known whether
the wedding occurred, for Lothario
William Nelson Cromwell took no
such long chances on his second VEN
ture. He kept his girl in Leaven-
worth and stayed there. too. This
time his license went to him by mail.

CHINE OWNERS TO JOIN.

At a meeting in the Commercial
Club rooms last night about two
dozen men, most of whom are own
ers of automobiles, effected not only
a temporary but also a permanent
organization called the Chelan Coun-
ty Automobile club, the purpose of
which, as stated by W. T. Clark, is
TO improve certain roads and to
make 10y riding" pleasurable.
AS there are about rs machines
in the valley representing $4,000
expenditure, the owners feel that
with the additional expenditure of
$500 about $50 miles of road in
Chelan county may be improved so
that the income of autoists, meas
ured in terms of pleasure, will be
greatly increased. In order to raise
the money an initiation fee of s25
is charged and it isthought that all
of the owners OF autos as well as
many Others will join the club.
Colonel Huston, of Cashmere, was
made president of the permanent or
ganization, Walter Olive secretary,
and J. C. Lilly, of Cashmere, treas
urer. Committees were appointed to
get new members, to map out the
roads to be fixed, etc.

NEW JAIL PLANS
ORNAMENTAL
PLANS FOR NEW COUNTY JAIL
CALL FOR ORNAMENTAL
sTRUCTURE-JUvENILE CELLS
AND OTHER FEATURES.

On the lot beside the courthouse
the new county jail will soon be one
of the county's most substantial
buildings.
Unlike the sepulchral city jail, the
county one will have the appearance
of an administration building, orna-
mental in every detail.
1t will be a rectangular two-story
structure, with solid ground and a
thick concrete layer beneath the jail
room floor, instead of basement. The
heating is to be provided for the
plant in the courthouse.
On the first floor, three rooms
across the front will be given over
to the sheriff. His private office on
one corner and bedroom on the
other. Between the two will be the
public room. In the rear there are
to be three new cells, each accommo-
dating four men, besides the old cells
in present use.
Upstairs is juvenile ward that
can also be used for women. and a
padded cell for those who are I'M
able to stand the strenuous life.
The outside dimensions of the
building are A feet 9 inches by 35
feet inches. 1t is to be built of
concrete, brick and steel, and the ar
chiteetural design would be creditable
anywhere.

''The tuberculosis bacillus is very

10000 of them end to end to make
an inch or 100000 of them side by
side to make an inch. Now, how do
we get them?"

story that agreed with filings, and
damaging to her brothers interests.
While she spoke her brother look
ed at her in honest amazement and
shook under the stress of the mo-
ment.
Sentiment Turns Against Her.
Speaking in his own behalf, the
boy told straight, convincing story
and broke down in the telling. His
break down seemed more like grief
than fear and his apparent honesty
won him all the sympathy.
He told that Fling and his sister
had been close friends, that Fling
had shown Quarrelsome DISPOSE
ton in the matter of Wilcox, who
was trying to win the girl again. He
told that Fling had given him two
drinks of whisky just prior to the
encounter in the theatre and that
Fling was plainly drunk. Other wit
nesses testified to the drunken state
that Fling was in.
James is a 10 year old boy and al
most as big as two ordinary men. He
was working out of town when the
police came to arrest him, and claims
he had been forewarned by his sister
to get away. He refused to heed the
warning, and waited for the officers
He did not accuse his sister bitterly
and the most he had to say against
her was that in her fondness for
Fling she was sacrificing him. He
admitted rising from his seat in the
theatre for the purpose of graphing
with Fling but positively denied hav-
ing weapons, further denying that he
had ever had any other than a small
rifle a long time ago.
Judgment Postponed.
Judgment was postponed in his
case also, but the expressions on the
faces of all in the court room were
favorable to the boy who had been
sacrificed by his sisters love for a
worthless man.

ACCUSES HIM IN POLICE COURT
EVA WILCOX, WHO FIGURED
LOVE AND DUTY.

Testifying that her brother was
the first to draw a gun in the fracas
Saturday night at the Gem theatre,
Eva Wilcox caused some wonderment
in Judge Planners court this morn
ing when she appeared as witness
in the two cases of the state VS.. AL
bert Fling and the state VS.. Michael
James, her brother.
She was there with her eX-hus-
band, Ralph Wilcox, who lately fell
heir to a former sweethearts fortune
down in Oregon.

testified that Michael James, brother
of the girl, had drawn a gun on him
when the three were seated in the
Gem theatre last Saturday night and
that in self defense he had also
drawn a gun. Then, realizing the
enormity of the offense, he threw the
weapon down and left.
Judgment was postponed until a
later hour in the day.
Fling was not at first apprehended
by the police, as he swOre out war
rant against James. Instead of pros
ecuting James he disappeared and
was later captured by the sheriff S

Sister Fails Brother.

Michael James plead not guilty to
the charge of drawing a weapon. His
sister was called to the stand and
she testified that she and he went to
the theatre together and encountered
Fling while entering. That the three
sat together, and that when the al
tercation arose her brother drew a
revolver, whereupon Fling did like
wise. She told a fearless, positive
