was absolutely confidential.
II told him l had entered into the
agreement with Lawyer Scott lendrr-
son because the Tacoma and Seattle
police had been unable 10 learn ths
whereabouts of stage.

RIAL OFFENDER
Il said I thought II n better move
on tho part Of this office TO get S,agg
and let Miss Brninerd 20 than TO
prosecute Miss Braincrd and take
chances ON finding Stagr.
'stagg was. in my opinion. the real
inFtigator of the crime. but. Of
course. that docs not relieve the guilt
OF Miss fIrainerd. As long as the
police had prospects Of capturing
sta9g. didn't feel like extending
Immunity to her.

Livery Barn, Where

The city commissioners were sit
ting impatiently last night waiting
for a quorum.
Hasty footsteps sounded in the
corridor and the city fathers perk-
ed up considerably in hopes that
the sounds presagei arrival of the
belated third commissioner who
would enable them to transact at

The footsteps sounded at the en-

ed the case of the people against
one livery barn on South Broad
way"
The barn, it appeared from her
statements, was inhabited by horses
who toll at day for the American
Railway Express company and 1t
nights stamp loudly, and playful"
paw the sides Of the barn, causing
resonant sounds to permeate the
neighborhOod boudoirs much to the
discomfort of Morpheus.
Even when the noisy horses leave
in the early hours of the morning,
the affiaut deposed odors, peculiar
to livery stable, remained and
Wed continually and with dismay-
ing success with the more savory
but less powerful perfumes of
corned beef and cabbage and
frijoles and other popular dishes.
In view of these various indict-
ments, the women thought the barn
ought to be RACED. In fact she de-
manded that the city commission
ers so order it.
In the meantime the quorum had
been achieved and the woman was
referred to the police court where,
She was told, she might file a COM
plant against the offensive barn
and let the law take its course.
