A Spite Case.

A typical spite case was dismissed
in the justice court last Tuesday
Prof. A. L. Mdlander had been
charged with petty larceny by j. r.

nearly as can be learned, were as fol-
lows: Keane had "A contract to build
a house for Prof Melander. He
completed the contract with the ex-
ception of vanishing the floors,
which he promised to do later. He
kept putting it off and finally Melan-
der volunteered to have the work
done himself if Keane would furnish
the yarnish and made final settle
ment with the contractor. Later
keane sent a drayman and took the
yarnish away Melander recovered
it and Keane swOre out warrant
charging him with petty larceny.
When the case came up it was dis
missed on motion of the prosecuting
witness, which confirmed the general
opinion that it was simply a bit of
spite work, based on
the desire to annoy and injure one

BURNS BREAKS JAIL
BUT IS RECAPTURED
Confessed ASSailant of Conductor
Reader Digs Way to Freedom of
Few Hours-RcCaptured by
Deputy Sheriff.

John W. Burns, the youth who
confessed to shooting Conductor ID. J.
Reader while the O. w. r. & n. train
was on a siding at Lewiston Junction
last week, dug his way through the
walls of the county jail at Colfax
Monday night and after a short free
dom was captured by Deputy Sheriff
Cole at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
between Fallons and Palouse. The
hole through which the prisoner es-
capped was about 2 by 1 5 inches and
was made with a case knife and a can
opener, the prisoner in all probability
being aided by confederates.
The fight of the prisoner was not
noticed until about s o'clock, when
the prisoners were locked up for the
night An immediate search was in
stituted and all the towns and rail-
way stations in the surrounding
country were notified by telephone.
The fugitive was traced to the O.
w. r. & n. yards and it was the
opinion of the officers that he had
boarded the Moscow train. Later,
telephone advices from near Albion
were to the effect that Burns had
left the train at Shawnee station,
slept in a barn, and was seen on his
way toward Pullman. Joe Plover,
the O. w. r. e n deceive, and Ed.
Carter boarded an engine Tuesday
morning and went to the outskirts of
Pullman, where a farmer gave them
an excellent description of the erst-
while prisoner saying that he had
been seen following the n p. tracks
toward Palouse. Ployer Immediately
advised Deputy Corner at ColfaX of
their findings, who telephoned Depu-
ties Cole and Carter, who were in
Palouse at the time.
The two latter Immediately started
on foot down the n. P. tracks and
met and captured the fugitive about
two miles out from Palouse.
When Burns recognized the officers
he promptly raised his hands and ad-
vanced to meet them, saying; II l
had succeeded in getting a gun you
fellows never would have taken me
back to Colfax alive"
The fact that fugitive had been
captured was generally known in
Colfax Tuesday evening and when
the officers arrived on the 7:15 train
several hundred people, eager to get
a look at the prisoner, were at the
depot to meet them.
Burns joked with the officers ana
people who gathered around him. To
the latter he said:
Il saw those fellers coming along
behind me, but did not recognize

KNIGHTS OF PYTH|AS
ENTERTAIN FRIENDS
Evening Star Lodge No. 20 Holds
Omen Meeting i'm COmmemoration
of Forty-Eighth Anniversary
of Order.

To celebrate the forty-eighth ami
versary of the founding of the order
of Knights of Pythias, Evening Star
Lodge No. 26 held an open meeting
in Masonic hall last Monday evening.
large number of the friends of the
members of the local lodge were
present, as well as nearly all of the
members of the order in the city,
the attendance being about 175
The principal address of the evening
was delivered by Judge Thos. Neil.
of Colfax, who took "Pythianism"
as his subject. The speaker told of
the growth of the order during the
forty-seyen years of it's existence and
told the beautiful story of the friend
ship of Damon and Pythias, on which
the order is founded. Mrs. Brooks
MacKay, a grand officer of the order
of Pythian Sisters of the state of
Washington, spoke on why a Sis
terhood in Pullman. Her remarks
were precise and to the point and
did much toward stirring up interest
in the auxiliary to the knights of
Pythas in this city
Ira Clark spoke on "Dokyism, "
relating the trials and tribulations
of the tyros who faced the tiger Sat
urday evening.
Several well received numbers
were rendered by the X. of p. quar-
tette and orchestra, after which al
lively debate was held on the ques-
ton, Resolved, That the City Coun-
Gil of the City of Pullman Should
Tax Every Unmarried Man and Wo-
man in the City, Over % Years, the
Sum Of $25 a Year" The affirma-
tive of the question was ably upheld
by Ira Clark and o. Nj. Thomson,
while Ed. Hinchliff and Milton New
house spoke on the negative. The
debate kept the audience in a cOntin-
uous uproar and proved the hit of
the evening. In place of judges it'll
was agreed by the debaters to have
the question decided by jury of six
ladies from the audience, three to
be unmarried and three married.
After a deliberation of some length
the jury brought in decision that
the men over the age limit and still
unmarried should be taxed every
year but the ladies only on leap year,
it being the opinion of the jury that
1t would be unfair to tax the ladies
when they had no chance to marry
and thereby disqualify themselves
from the workings of the law.
The negative voters gave notice of
an appeal but it is improbable that
a new debate will be granted them.
One of the most forceful arguments
OF the negative was that it would be
impossible to levy tax on the un-
married ladies as, according to their
statements, they rarely reached the
age limit unmarried
Following the program a banquet
was spread in the dining room of the
nall. E. w. Thorpe conducted him
self in his usual dignified manner
as official dishWasher, while John
Jones kept things moving as master
OF ceremonies.
