Hawiey into a confession of his pur-

of this interview between the artistic

of the vague suspicion of evil which
the plainsman had implanted within
the woman's mind. the other possessed
the advantage. and would certainly

piled, puzzled by these unexpected
words. There has nothing occurred

The man smiled. Seeing the wom-
ans face in the shadows he was still
convinced she was the same he had
last parted with ON the Salt Fork.
However. if she preferred to ignore all
that. and begin their relations anew, it
was greatly to his liking. 1t gave him
insight into her character and fresh
confidence that he could gain her as
sistance. Anyhow, he was ready
enough to play her game.

He moved across to the opening,
keeping his face toward his adver-

the door with a snap. and sprang
aside to avoid any possibility of bull
let crashing after him. No sound of
movement from within reached his
ears. however. and he walked silently
to the head of the stairs.

TVEITMOE
INNOCENT
This Is His Declaration In An
nuaI Report

Fresno, Cal, Jan. 15.--O. A. Tveit-
moe, secretary treasurer Of the state
building council, declared his innocence
of completely in the national dyna-
mite conspiracy in his annual report
read before the eleventh annual con-
vention of the council here today.
Tveitmoe with Antoine Johaneson, or
ganizer of the state building
trades, and j. E. Munsey, secretary
of the Salt Lake City local Of the In
ternational Association Of Bridge e.
Structural Iron Workers, were indicted
by the federal grand jury at Los An
geles, Dec. 30, for alleged conspiracy
to transport dynamite unlawfully.
There will be no plea of guilty"
Tveitmoe said in his report, because
the accused are not guilty, and they
refuse to serve as stepping stones
either for District Attorney Freder-
icks who has an eye on the governors
chair, or for Oscar LAWYERS judgeship,
or for Mr.. Hearts presidency"
The Mcnamara case was reviewed
at length, a large portion of the COM
ment being confined to an article on
the Los Angeles situation by Charles
Edward Russell, in which it was de-
clared the ''McNamaras thought they
were fighting battle of their class, ;"
while not defending the Mcnamara
case, and characterized the proceeding
as a "blow aimed at union labor"
Union men and women" the re-
port continues, believe murder the
most horrible of all crimes, and that
tho 10 aLipo of human life whpther
committed by individuals, society, the
state or nation, in an ordinary brawl
or in industrial struggle, or social
ed civilized war, is murder
IF labor should invoke as a law
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth the world would have a deluge
of human blood, without the saving
ark or Mount Arrarat, but with num-
berless Caesar columns to mark the
final landings"

GAN WOMEN HOLD
OFFICE IN N. b.?

jamestown, N. d. Jan. 15.-owins
to Judge Memmi's recent appointment
OF Mrs. Correll as clerk Of the county
court the question has been raised as
to the eligibility Of woman to that
Office. States Attorney Kneeland has
given written opinion on the sub
ject. holding that a woman is eligible
to this once. which opinion is con-
Cured in by the attorney generals Of
fee.
The question is an interesting one,
involving the rights OF a woman to
hold office in this state, and the opin-
Ion OF the states attorney reviews
various authorities on the subject.
The court OF various states have held
that a woman, in the absence OF con-
stitutional or statutory provision ex-
pressly authorizing It, cannot hold a
governmental public Office. States 30
holding, among others, are Massachu-
setts and New Hampshire. In AIichi-
gan, where there is no express legal
provision on the subject, woman has
been ousted from the Office of states
attorney, but her right to hold the Of
hce OF deputy clerk OF court has been
upheld. the former being an elective
and the latter an appointive ofEice.
In Missouri woman was elected clerk
OF court and her right to hold Office
was upheld by the supreme court Of
that state. In Kansas, although wo-
men are not voters. yet It seems that
they may hold any office. provided
they obtain votes enough. even that
OF governor OF the state.
In North Dakota woman cannot
hold an elective ofice, except school
Office, our statutes requiring that only
those who have right to vote FOR
certain ONCE are eligible to hold such
Office. The clerk OF the county, how
ever, is not elected but appointed by
the Judge Of that court and IN tha
performance OF his duties is subject IA
q large measure. TO the supervision III
the Judge. the Judge being liable for
the proper conduct Of the clerk under
his own official bond. Under these cSr~
cunstances 1t Is the opinion cf 40
stgtant Attorney General Zuger ana oa
the states attorney that Il is fla tie

WANTED TO SEE THE WORLD,
FOLKS SURPRISED.

New York, N. Y, Jan. 15.--Violet
Buehler, the missing Chicago heiress,
was arrested at the corner Of First
avenue and Seventeen street this
morning and taken to the police sta
tion. She has been working in the
neighborhood, the police say, taking
care of sick woman. Miss Buehler
admitted her identity and told the
police she came to New York about
month ago with the idea of seeing
the world. She declared no man had
anything to do with her leaving home.
She said when her money began to
get low she decided to get position
and answered a newspaper advertise
ment for nurse. She was employed
by Mrs Anna Brett, on East Seven
tieth street.
For more than three weeks, Miss
Buehler who is said to be an heiress
to an estate of several thousands doll
lars, have been acting as nurse for the
mother, Mrs. Brett, as well as doing
light domestic work.
The Brett family were astonished
when they found who was their serv-
ant. The first news that the girl had
been found came from Chicago, and
detective was sent to locate the
girl.
