from the assistant cashiers Office had

amazement. he saw a plumed hat
thrust forward into the opening. and
then a girlish figure appeared The
figure halted and turned its face to

him another sheet He rubbed his
fingers softly across it. His raw. bleed

most uncanny, skill of Jimmy valen-

with resourceful and intelligent
craftsmen, a thrill of genuine admira-

the despair of the safe makers. the
banking officials and the sleuths of
half a dozen states And a lieutenant
governor had pardoned him.

to rescue their beloved little playmate
Kitty Lane. from the sitting clutches

a sudden though very slight change
in the darkened room. the windows of

''CRAzY IN THE HEAD"

Another man from kennewick
has been committed to the insane
asylum at Medical Lake. Ed Rem
ney was brought up from Kenne-
wick the first of the week and was
tried before Court Commissioner
Andrew Brown. In the examina-
ton before Drs. Angus and Green it
was found that the mans mind was
considerably unbalanced and he was
adjudged insane and ordered taken
to the state insane asylum.
Ir the examination it was found
that the man was always under the
impression that he had swallowed
his wife's head and had repeatedly
asked that an operation be per-
formed to remove the same.
Renney is blacksmith by trade
and gave his age as 43 years. He
is widower. Whiskey is said to be
the cause of his condition.
As soon as guards from the asy-
lum can arrive Renney will be taken
to Medical Lake. .-Prosser Record.
