MERRITT HOTEL BURNED
LAST MONDAY EVENING
II. B. Smith, Owner, Valued Place at
Between $4,000 and $1,000. Car
ried $4,000 Insurance

The Merritt Hotel conducted by
H. B. Smith of that place caught fire
last Monday evening about 10 o'clock
and burned to the ground. The origin
of the fire is unknown. The building
which was a frame structure burned
very rapidly and little Of the household
goods were saved. Mr.. Smith carried
insurance amounting to $4,000 and
the loss is estimated at about $4,000.
Mr.. listed the insurance adiuster ar
rived here Thursday and with the as
sistance of R. B. Fields the local agent
OF the company will make an early
settlement.
The Hotel Merritt was we'll known
to people thruout Central Washington
and was very popular with campers
during the summer months.
1t is very likely that Mr.. Smith will
rebuild the hotel as it was profitable
institution and is on the route of the
Scenic Highway which is expected to
be opened to the public the latter part
OF next year. Mr.. Smith was one OF
the chief promoters Of the Highway
and recently raised nearly $4,000 by
popular subscription to be used in con-
struction work. About four miles OF
the Highway out of Merritt has al
ready been constructed.

CHANCE ACQUAINTANCE
TAKES FRIENDS ROLL
Both Men Go Out on Spree-0ne Goes
to Sleep and the Other Relieves
Him of His Cash

Frank Hurst who was charged with
taking $50 from the pocket Of Jack
Gavin last Thursday night while the
latter was sleeping in the G. N. depot
was found not guilty in Judge Grants
court Friday afternoon. A stranger
who was near when the arrest was made
and stated that he saw Hurst take the
money from the sleeping mans pocket,
did not show up at the trial and as
only SIS could be found on the man
when he was arrested, County Attorney
Sorenson suggested that the case be
dismissed.
Jack Gavin who claims to have lost
the money is an engineer who has
been in the employ of Guthrie & Nc
Dougall near Entiat and says he was
on bis way to Los Angeles, On the
train he met Hurst who was on his
way TO this city, and who persuaded
him to stop off here and they would
go out for a time. Gavin got pretty
full early in the evening and decided
to go over to the depot and go to sleep,
where he would be on hand on the
arrival OF No. 8 and continue his jour
ney southwark. Imagine his surprise
when he awoke several hours later TO
find his money gone. He Immediately
suspected Hurst, and was told by a
stranger standing near that he had
seen a man go thru his pockets but
supposed that they were friends.
In the meantime it was discovered
that Hurst had left on No. Q for Spo-
kane. The authorities then phoned
to Wenatchee and gave the police a
description OF Hurst who was on No.
Q. On the arrival OF the train in We
natchcee, officers boarded the train
and had no trouble in locating the fu-
gitive. He was taken to the county
Jail and compelled to disrobe, but only
$5.05 was found on his person. There
was little doubt as to Hearst's guilt,
but according to a statement OF Prose-
cutting Attorney Sorensen there was
not enough evidence on hand to get
conviction.
The day after the trial the driver of
the hotel bus in which the prisoner
was taken up to the Wenatchee Jail
found two $40 bills under the seat
which were probably placed there by
Hurst, but both men have now disap-
peared and the money will probably be
turned over to the bus driver who
found it.

SEIZE BOOKKEEPER

WelI-KnOwn Accountant of WenatChee is
Caught Trying to Break Into
Neighbors's House

Under the influence OF liquor, a
well-known citizen, of Wenatchee, was
caught Monday night breaking into
the home OF T J. Templeton, his
neighbor. He was seen acting in a
suspicious manner by neighbor who
phoned the police. When they ar
rived he had cut the screen and was
trying to unlock the kitchen door,
Nine passkeys were found on him. On
seeing the police he broke into run,
but dropped into the weeds when or
ficer Watson fired his revolver into the
air. He was in his stocking feet and
his face was blackened with cork so
that he looked like negro. This he
tried to explain by saying that he was
having good time at a neighbor's
where they had blackened up as
joke. He said they ran out Of beer
and that he volunteered to break into
Templeton's and get some there.
This morning he acknowledged this 10
be untrue.
Honeywell is an expert bookkeeper,
having been with the Wenatchee Pro-
duce company for several years. His
family is highly respected. Mrs. Hon
eywell is visiting relatives in the east.
A friend says that Honeywell is af-
fected peculiarly by liquor. He gets
drunk easy and one swallow of whisky
transforms him into a lunatic. He
does most outlandish things and seems
to have no sense Of responsibility nor
fear OF consequences. Nevertheless
he will defend a charge Of housebreak-
ing. County Attorney Sorenson is
sued such a warrant this morning.
