Posse Three Hours.

Bellingham, Wash, Dec. 2. Two
bandits, Walter Foote and Fred James,
fortified behind a breastwork of logs
on the banks of the Skagit river, near

More than a thousand shots were
fred and 40 dynamite bombs were
thrown against the logs before the
highwaymen surrendered. Foote was
found to have several bullets in his
body and died soon after having been
taken to a hospital. James was unin-
jured and was lodged in the Skagit
county Jail.

POLICE COURT RECEIPTS
SMASHED ALL RECORDS
Nearly $500 Garnered From
Offenders Monday

AS if in imitation of the weather, cot
ton receipts and other things, the re
ceipts in fines at the recorders court
Monday morning broke all records.
! 1t was discovered after the court had
closed and most of the various fines
had been adjusted that $166 had been
received. This did not include all the
fines, as some of them have not been
collected. When all are received, the
total will probably amount to nearly
5000, which is a cracking good days
work for a recorders court.
No explanation is given as to why
the receipts seem to have been so
large in this given date. The influx
of prosperity that has recently struck
Americas in the shape of plenty OF
work for every laborer who would
make anything like an attempt &c
work, may be a part explanation.
But at any rate, the recorders court
is, certainly making good. If it con-
tinues, it. will prove one. of the most
