SEARCHING PARTY FINDS
THEIR MAN UNHURT
Auto Trip Made to Cashmere Monday In
Search of Man Supposed to Have
Met With An Accident

An auto party composed OF Judge
Grant, Chris. Smith, an Echo repre-
sentative and Charley Fox made trip
to Cashmere Monday morning in the
latter's car in search Of Roy Harris,
who is deaf and dumb and was sup
posed to have met with some accident
or mishap. on the road between this
city and Cashmere. Mr.. Harris had
left here early Sunday morning on his
motorcycle for Wenatchee. but had
told his friends he would be back the
same evening as he had to be at work
the following morning. Nothing was
thought at first when he failed to show
up at the appointed time in the even
ing, but when he failed to put in his
appearance Monday morning, his
friends began to feel uneasy. Reports
from Wenatchee were that he had left
that city at Z o'clock Sunday evening
on the return trip. By this time there
were many speculations as to what
might have happened to. him. Per
haps he was lying somewhere along the
roadside with a broken leg, or even
worse, maybe he had gone over one
of the numerous cliffs between here
and Wenatchee, at any rate someone
ought to 60 in search Tor him.
Charley Fox was the first to offer his
services and the use Of his machine
and at ten o'clock the searching party
left the city. The road was examined
on the way down between here and
Cashmere, but no traces could be
found where a machine had left the
road or gone over bank, although
there are several places where car
could have left the road and buried it.
self and occupants in the river two or
three hundred feet below.
On arriving in Cashmere it was de-
cided to again phone to one of Harris
friends in Wenatchee to fed out if
anything had been learned concern
ing the missing man To the surprise
of everyone, he phoned back, Why
Harris is alright, his machine broke
down last night just after he started
out and he decided to wait here until
he could get it. fixed up" Thus
ends the story, but you are likely to
have hard time convincing Fox that
it wasn't put up job all around.

Our Elastic Globe.

To the layman nothing may seem
more rigid than the crust of the
earth, but men of science tell us
that it bends and buckles appreci-
ably under the pull of the heavenly
bodies. Careful observation has also
shown that the shores on opposite
sides of tidal basin approach each
other at high tide. The weight of
water in the Irish sea, for example,
is so much greater at that time that
the bed sinks trife and in conse-
quence pulls the Irish and English
coasts nearer together. Thus the
buildings of Liverpool and Dublin
may be fancied as bowling to one
another across the channel, the de-
Fiction from the perpendicular be-
ing about an inch for every sixteen
miles. 1t has also been shown that
ordinary valleys widen under the
heat of the sun and contract again
at night.-Exchange.

EXCITING EXPERIENCE
ON The 'ICICLE RIVER
Man Is Chased By Bear But Feeds Him
fish In Order to Make His
Getaway

A fishing party composed of nine or
ten we'll known residents Of Leaven-
worth, to escape the hot weather,
went up the Icicle about six miles last
Sunday and spent the day. We were
unable to secure the names Of all in
the party, but it will be necessary to
give the name OF VIM. Dales, en-
ployed as mixologist at one Of the
city's thirst parlors, as he probably had
the most exciting time. 1t appears
that Bill, as he is commonly called,
boosted that he was the best fisherman
in the crowd and after a vote was
taken it was decided that he must go
out and catch a mess of trout for the
bunch, there being only one fishing
outfit among the effects of the camp
ers. With plenty Of confidence, and
warning the rest Of the bunch to have
the frying pan hot by the time he re-
turned, he sailed forth. 1t must have
been some three hours later, the rest
of the party having gone to sleep and
lost all track of time, that they we're
suddenly awakened by what to them
seemed an unearthly yell, and behold,
there stood the fisherman, wild-eyed
and picture Of distress. Look out,
look out, there he comes. Where's
the gum" Well, it took about ten
minutes to calm the excited man, then
he told the following story:
You see, it was this way, fellows.
l caught the fish alright, but you won't
blame me for not bringing any fish
back with me when you hear what
happened. l had just got through
fishing and got my stuff together, and
believe me, I had twenty of the finest
trout you ever saw, when what did l
see but big black bear coming right
for me. Well, he must have smelled
those trout Of mine, alright, and l
made up my mind he wanted them
more than did. But in hopes that l
might be able to save a few, tossed
him two OF them when he had got
within about twenty feet Of me, but
he swallowed them IN one gulp and
kept coming. Right there, boys, l
decided to leave there, and the race
began. I might have left him all the
fish in one bunch, but on second
thought 1t occurred to me that I had
better distribute them along the way.
In that way I might keep him from
getting his hooks into me. Well, l
dropped fish for the old boy about
every twenty feet, and he stopped for
all Of them, but guess he figured it
out I had him beat when it come to
sprinting, as he gave up the chase
about half mile up the creek. Pm
sorry fellows, but you really can't
blame me, can you ?"
And now, just think of it, after
man had gone through such an excit-
ing experience, the rest of the bunch
grabbed Bill and baptized him in the
chilly waters of the Icicle.

AMATEUR SLEUTH
CAPTURES THIEF
Janitor at the Industrial Home
Building Lays Trap and
Delivers Robber. -<J

Through an act OF low cunning
which would do credit to the best eff.
forts of William j. Burns or Sherlock
Holmes, a bold thief was captured
yesterday noon by Charles Mellow,
janitor of the Industrial Home build
ing, Twenty-first street and Third ave-
rue. This morning Mellow had the
satisfaction of seeing his man bound
over to the grand jury under $500
bonds on larceny charge. The cul-
prit gave his name as Cliff Myers.
Another man. Claude Siroys, who was
taken with Myers, was given 20 day
sentence on a disorderly conduct
charge.
About o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, Myers walked up the front steps
at Industrial Home and seeing that
the janitor was busted at the front,
helped himself to a $50 velvet rug
which was lying in the rear, and made
an unostentatious exit. The rug was
disposed of after which the thief was
brazen enough to return an hour later.
Mellow began to question the fellow,
who took to his heels and grabbed a
Bridge line car for Davenport. Yes
terday, shortly before noon, the jan
itor perceived his friend of the day
before and recruit, standing across
the street They hesitated for a min
ute or two and then entered the build
ing, asking the janitor where they
could locate the head of the painters
union. They then excused themselves
but continued to linger about the
premises.
Then it was that Mellow conceived
his brilliant idea and executed his
coup. Stating in a loud voice that he
would have to go down town, he
walked away. Making a circuit of the
block he returned in time TO catch
Myers in the act of dragging another
rug down the front steps. The police
were called, and the men we're locked
up. Up until press time the authori-
ties were unable to locate the rug
stolen Wednesday morning.
Myers claimed he was drunk and
did not remember having taken either
rug.
