But in the meantime her distract

effort to locate her, and at last re-
ceived news of her whereabouts. At a
sacrifice to themselves, they came on
to Topeka and reported their case
to the police. The officers found the
Mexican and his bride in the river
district and both were placed under
arrest.
This morning the mother took turns

miners, protesting against the bill.
These came from Montee of Crawford,
