"A slender, graceful figure, of ex-
traordinary personality, came upon

melodious voice, addressed the ladies

From the moment Miss Patten spoke
of the appropriateness of bringing

that she would do justice to McYayes'
composition. and she did. From the
opening scene, where La Purcene has
not yet abandoned her sheep, to the
last dark scene in the prison cell, we
see and hear this strangely gifted girl
pass over the stage as she passed
through those three years of her life,

Docs ANYONE Know Him?

who gives his name as Joseph Wood
ward and his home as Pendleton, but
although there is family of Wood
wards near Adams, no one around

the name of Joseph. The dispatch
appears below:
What seemed to be case of dou-
BILE personality has 6een battling the
people of Chewelah since last Mon
day by a man giving his name as Jo-
seph Woodward, who says he came
from Pendleton, ore. He claims to
have stopped at Deer Park to visit a
sister, but investigation has proved
both to be a myth.
Money seems to be no object with
the stranger He put up at the best
hotel and spent money with free
hand.
When he ran out of cash he drew
on Pendleton bank which wired
that he is unknown to its officials.
He is now at the home of Mark
Mitchell in the country, claiming the
hospitality on account o; being from
Missouri, the home state of Mr.
Mitchell He is dressed in dark
suit of clothes, and is about five feet
eight inches tall, spare built, appears
to be about 65 years of age, although
he claims to be over so.
Every effort is being made to To-
cate his people, but with little hope
of success, as his stories are so dis
connected. That the man has good
connections somewhere is believed
here, as his habits and appearances
show refinement.
