Pasco Deputy Catches Two Lodgcrs
Bringing Saws Into Prison at
Night.
Pasco. Wash.-Through the per-
spicacity of Deputy Sheriff Harry
Dent, another jailbreak was probably
prevented in the county jail and two
men arrested who had smuggled
tools and saws into the building. Joe
Foster and Ernest Young appeared at
the county Jail and asked for night s
lodging, saying they had just come
in on a freight from Walla Walla.
Forster had only recently completed
30-day sentence for petty larceny
in the Jail and after his release went
to Walla Walla, presumably to meet
| young, who was serving a 20-day sem
| tence in the Walla Walla county Jail
! for vagrancy. Dent thought it pc
| culiar that the two men should APP
ply for admission into Jail, so after
only a perfunctory search he took his
| position where he could see every
thing going on, though himself un-
seen He soon saw the two men throw
a package wrapped in a handkerchief
to the occupants of the cell beneath
| them and heard the whispered

pered reply was made Yes" The

Dyer. an ex-convict, held for bur
glary and c. Meyers and Anderson
charged with a hold-up. Dent i'm
mediately entered the cell and made
a vigorous search. first seizing tn,
package which had been given thC
men by Forster and Young. Thl:
was found to contain thin saws ant
tools. Further search revealed a dy'
Mantle cap, with which they evident
ly intended to blow down the walls
and several short bars of iron wrap
ped in handkerchiefs which woulC
have made excellent weapons.
Forster and Young were immedi
ately brought into the sheriff's office
but denied bringing in the saws. The!
will be held to thesuperior court.

New York.--"Marriage is frequent
ly not sacrament but a predicament.
Divorce should always be encouraged
when it adds to the sum total of hu-
man happiness.
Second marriages are frequently
happier than first ones"
After the recent war over the mar
riage of Colonel Astor these ministe-
rial musings possesH at least the
charm Of novelty. They were put for
ward by the Rev. DR. John l.. Scud-
der of the First Congregational
church of Jersey. DR. Scudder has
the courage of his convictions for he
recently presided at the marriage of
Mrs. Bertha b. Ellsworth and Harry
c. Sinner. both of whom were di-
vorced. He married w. e ID. Stokes
to his present wife, and has officiat-
ed at the remarriage of many di-
vorced persons. He is a Yale grad
uate, and a clergyman particularly
successful in social and benevolent
work
Most marriages are made by God
