During the past few weeks number
OF our citizens have suffered the loss of
some OF their poultry, and in the pres
ent state of the public mind it would
hardly be safe for one to be caught in
the act Of loosing henhouse.
Saturday A. R. Tiss had Is choice
chickens stolen, among them prize win
ners at the Newport fair, one trio val
ued at $40. When Mr.. Tiss went out to
feed his chickens Sunday morning he
found the heads of rs lying on the floor.
An effort was made to get out the Spo-
kane bloodhounds to run down the
thieves. and public subscription raised
the money for the purpose, but one of
the dogs was sick and the owner would
not come.
Monday evening at the Fred Shaerer
place in the Jaynes addition 40 chickens
were stolen. Mr.. Schaerer had the
chickens Grated, ready to move next
day to his recently purchased place on
Priest River, which made the theft
easy.
From the Sogth Side come reports of
clothing being stolen from the line.
Somebody is going to get caught and
hurt if this petty thievery continues.

and J. A. Rockford to appear for him,
and they secured from the clerk of the
court of Pend Oreille county writ of
habeas corpus, returnable before Judge
Carey Monday morning. Sherlock &
Sheldon were engaged to appear for
Martin and Marshal Jenne. Telegraph
wires to both Portland and Denver were
kept busy, and the affair assumed inter-
state Importance.

Tuesday.
Constable Weinberger, of Portland,
arrived Monday morning from Portland,
armed with warrants for the arrest of
Rinker for contempt of court and kid
mapping, but did not serve the papers
on Rinker, awaiting the action of Judge
Carey. During Monday night Rinker,
who had practically been permitted his
freedom by the local officers, while Mar
tin was kept in the town jail, made his
getaway, driving out of town. The
local officers could haye restrained
Rinker, but were rather relieved that he
took his opportunity to get away, as it

Pend Oreille county costs in matter in

Tuesday afternoon. when the hearing
came up on the writ of habeas corpus,
Attorney Rockford addressed the court,

missed, which was done, closing the
case as far as Newport was concerned.
Constable Weinberger departed for
Portland on the 5:36 train, taking Mar
tin back to Judge Gatens' court.
The case presented some very peculiar
complications. Martin claimed to be
engaged to marry Leah A. Martin, a
niece of Governor West, and that this
was the reason why the Governor go

and sought to have him removed from
Oregon. This Governor West emphat-

Council Proceedings

The town council met in regular ses-

of Importance came before the city
fathers.
Ordinance No. 124, levying a tax of
$3947 against property within the in
corporate limits, was given third reading
and passage.
Councilman Nelson reported that the
cost of waste paper cans, to be placed on
the principal business corners for the
purpose of aiding in keeping the city
clean, would be So so per can. The
street committee was authorized to pur-
chase six of the cans. The movement
for the placing of these cans was started
by the Civic Improvement Club.
The council ordered the loca ton of a
fire hydrant at the corner of Washing
ton and Second street, and the installa-
ton of new hydrant to replace the one
at the corner of Washington and Third,
the latter being placed too low to be of
good service.
All bids on the construction Of town
Jail were ordered rejected. 1t was found
necessary to readvertise for bids, and
the council concluded that when this
could be done it would be too late to
start building this fall.

and Judge Gatens, and this clash of au
thority over the custody of Martin has
lead to considerable bitterness. Judge
Gatens threatens dire vengeance on the
Colorado deputy and two Portland de-
tectyes who participated IN the abduc-
ton of Martin.
Martin claims to be the son of a
wealthy contractor, and that his former
wife, from whom he got a divorce two
years ago, was prosecuting him for
financial reasons. He was glad to re-
turn to Portland with Constable Vein
berger, but stated that he had no fear of
going to Denver to answer the charge.

kidnapping him.
The sone-legged man remains mys-
tery, resisting all attempts to penetrate
his identity. He was very busy while
here, but seemed to have no connection
with the case, except as butter-in. He
departed Monday night, with the con-
sciousness that his recognition of the
two on the train had stirred up hor-

Newport's share of the case resulted

Controversy
Oregon Officers Were Victors.

Newport has been on the map this
week as the storm center of court mat
ter that has attracted widespread atten
ton and given us publicity in the daily
papers of Washington, Colorado and
Oregon.
A young man named Leo W. Martin,
charged with assault on his wife with
intent to commit abortion at Denver,
COL, was arrested at Portland. Gov
ernor Shafroth, of Colorado, issued
requlsition papers to w. A. 'Rinker, a
deputy sheriff at Denver, who went to

time in the custody of the circuit court
of Multnomah county, Oregon, Judge
Gatens presiding. On Saturday Martin
was to have had hearing, which, how
eyer, was postponed until Monday and
the prisoner was let out on 5000 bonds.
Rinker, determined to get the pris-
oner, grabbed Martin as he was coming
out from the courthouse. hustled him
into an auto, despite the protests of
himself and attorneys. and kidnapped
him across the line into Washington,
where they boarded North Bank train,
en- route tC Denver via Spokene.
Judge Gatens was very indignant at
the defiance of his authority, and officers
along possible routes were notified of
the affair and instructed to detain the
officer for kidnapping and contempt of
court, The deputy. when the train
neared Spokane, stepped off the train at
a railroad crossing, phoned for taxicab
and drove to Hillyard, where they got
on Great Northern train No. 2 Sunday
morning. On this train in seat oppo-
site the officer and his prisoner sat a
one-legged man. who had just read an
account in a Spokane paper about the
affair. He became suspicious that the
parties opposite him were those mem
toned, and when the train reached here

take Rinker and the prisoner off the
train.

How Hortense Was Cap tured by The Beast

Hortense he fell captive to her numerous
charms. He took her to the theater, to sup
pers. sent her flowers and did all of the
other things necessary TO show that his
intentions were serious. And then one
night he asked her to marry him.
Hortense was a good sort ana would not
for worlds have hurt the feelings of her
acquaintances, least of all the feelings of
The Beast who had been so kind to her.
But she looked at him and sighed. Dear
Beast" she said. 81 would love you and
marry you If l could, but you are too
ugly"
And then the miracle happened, for mir
acles are possible even in this day OF dis

you think you could marry me, Hortense? %
And Hortense. looking at The Beast
again, saw that the miracle had already
taken place. The Beast was no longer

Name and Address.

NEW YORK, Sept, 12.-In the swift pas-
sage Of time the seasons follow so hard
upon each other that the modern woman
scarcely has her summer sewing well out
OF the way before the necessity is thrust
upon her of planning her winter outfit.
Already the windows are full OF winter
novelties, and dress goods, furs and mill
linery vie with each other in their appeal
to feminine interest. II needs no sooth-
sayer at this juncture to tell what is going
to be the leading thought of the coming
styles.
The bordered materials are prsttily illus
trated in this figure, the tunic being made
with the border at the lower edge. The
border may also be used in the construc-
ton Of the shawl collar and cuffs. Made
thus of the new rough goods the costume
is extremely chic and up-to-date. The de-
sign is aIso suitable for any OF the plain
wooden materials for fall and winter wear.
especially If trimmed as here pictured, with
the striped goods, which bids fair to be
very popular throughout the winter. The
panel effects still hold their own in the
liking Of the feminine world. As applied
in this costume the front is strictly la
mode, without suffering by comparison
with other models.
The oriental stiIl holds sway in the popu-
lar fancy. Not so long ago we were domi-
mated by Russia. The advent OF the Rus
sian dancers in Paris gave excuse to the
fashion makers for the Russian blouse, the
cossaek turban and other characteristic
modes Of the land Of the cars. Then Tur-
key claimed a place in our regard. and the
harem skirt, of brief vogue, was intro
dueed Now we have penetrated still fur
Their into the heart OF the mysterious east,
and Hindustan. the home Of the great mo-
suls is tingeing the thought OF the vests
ern world. Consistently with this craze,
we are told that the opera OF "Lalla
Rookh" lie being revived in Paris, willis
there and in our own country popular dane
ers are familiariEing the public with the
life Of India. Small wonder, then, that the
new fall fabrics accord with this idea
