against those who disregard the
state law against remarriage within
a year after divorce, Judge Walker
refused for the present the petition of

When her attorney asked that it be
declared void, Judge Walker called"

ing and told her he would ask States

400 RELINQUISH LICENSES.
Many Liquor Dealers in State Are
Already Quitting Business.

That approximately 400 holders of
state liquor licenses already have
gone out of business, without waiting
for the prohibition law to become eff
fective, Is the estimate of the state
tax commission, which is busily en-
gagged in collection of licenses for the
new period which began July 1.
There were 1880 licensees last
year. The tax commission collected
in advance this year from some 400
license holders a larger number of
advance collections than ever has
been made previously.

liquor who fail to take out their new

DIES RESCU|NC ANOTHER
Grand Mound Reform School Girl Is
Drowned in Chehalis River,

Lillian Johnson, an inmate of the
reform school for girls at Grand
Mound, was drowned in the Chehalis
river Tuesday afternoon after she had
saved a fellow inmate from drown
ing.
Details of the accident are difficult
to obtain owing to the secrecy main
tanned by the heads of the institu-
ton, but from what can be gathered
it appears that the Johnson girl, her
self good swimmer, was drowned
after she had rescued a girl who had
gone beyond her depth. The John
son girl plunged in and others form
ing a line the rescue was effected
without mishap, but in some way the
johnson girl either became entangled
in some substance in the stream or
fell from exhaustion. When she was
finally brought ashore life appeared
extinct, but a hurry call was sent to
Centralia and DR.. David Livingstone
responded. The physician worked
over the girl for three hours before
he gave it up and pronounced her
dead. The girl is supposed to be a
niece of Thomas Johnson, farmer
of this section, and goes under his
name, although her parents go by
the name of Bunker and reside at
Bellingham.
The Johnson or Bunker girl es-
capped from the reform school several
days ago and was only recently re-
turned to the institution, having been
captured by the crew of a freight
train while she was beating her way
north.

Superior Judge Mitchell Monday to
from to 20 years in the Walla
Walla penitentiary for first degree
forgery, to which Biles pleaded gull
ty, admitting that, while drinking. he
forged the name of Justice Walter
Crosby to three checks for $3.50

Judgment, for the sake of his aged
mother, whom he is supporting, but
Judge Mitchell held that the law
gave him no discretion and gave
Biles the minimum sentence. Twen-
ty-three years ago Biles served a
sentence for a similar offense. Pros

missed the charge of being an habit

Biles, because four alleged former
sentences could not be proved, Biles
admitting one but claiming that his

fore the destruction of the vessel was
attempted.
