.ASkEW AND FEMALE
COMPANION JAILED
Not q Biganrist, But Several Other
Kinds of Thing, Having Deserted
Wife and children.

]. M. Askew and Mary Askew, who
posed as husband and wife while stay
ing at Stumpfs Hotel, were fined xZo
each in the Police Court yesterday
for disorderly conduct. They plead
guilty to the charge. In default OF
the cash they were sent to jail, Dotn
getting twenty days.
The charge of being a suspicious
character, suspected of being a bfga-
mist, was dropped, when Detective
Kellam admitted to the court that he
had no evidence to prove the charge.
This charge was based on contradic-
tory statements made by Askew. When
first caught he claimed that the As
kew woman was his wife, but when
his brother-in-law, L. A. Alexander.
appeared on the scene he claimed
that he was not married to the wo-
man.
He yet has a third charge TO face,
and that is of defrauding Stumpfs
Hotel out of a $3460 hotel bill. This
little item will come up for considera-
ton next Tuesday.
Relatives of Askew's wife In North
Carolina were not allowed to testify
yesterday morning. They allege that
Askew deserted hts wife and three
children in North Carolina several
months ago. coming here with the
woman, who Is now in Jail.
l.. A. Alexander, brother of AS
kew's wife, followed him here, and
after a search Detectives wiltshire.
Willy. Kellam and Brown arrested the
pair In a lodging house on Governor
Street, where they had gone after
leaving Stumpfs Hotel.

Exclusive to the Appeal

WASHINGTON,- March 3.-Con-
Raker received a telegram
from w. J. Doris, chairman of the
Alturas Stock association and w. A.
Sherlock, President of the Wool
Growers Association, both of Al
turas, and also from residents OF
Western Nevada, in which it is stat
ed that an epidemic Of rabies, orig
mating among the coyotes of eastern
Oregon. has now spread to parts Of
Idaho, Nevada and California and
is still going on. A ned coyote was
killed at Bear Ranch. Surprise Val
lev. Modoc county, a few days since.
The epidemic appears to be far be-
Ivond the control 'of the state and
local boards, and is rapidly becoming
a menace to the life of all living
creatures in the affected districts and
may reach the devasting proportions
OF the bubonic plague or OF the

Fee for Law Library

In accordance with an order issued
by the board of county commissioners
at the February term, a sum OF %
will be deducted from the Zee PAID
County Clerk Hunter Tor each case
instituted in the district court, and
will be used for purchasing books,
etc. for the county law library.
This action on the part of the COM
missioners has already begun to bear
fruit. In filing his report with the
commissioners yesterday, MIR. Hun
ter showed a total of $50 collected
and OF this sum 500 was for cases
! started in the district court. The
library fund will therefore receive
S45 of that amount which is a nice
| start towards purchasing a suitable
equipment for the library.-Enter'
