A trip to Lisabeula last Sunday
shows that section of the island
in all its glory at this season OF
the year. The community has
heen Handicapped somewhat for
want of electric light and power
We understand the Power Com
pany is going to carry current
TO that section soon, even if the
company did insist on a certain
number of electric ranges being
signed up as well as certain
number of homes agreeing to use
juice. Such conditions are the re
suit Of a big corporations plan to
get the money The Bone bill
isn't to be voted on this fall, you
know.

On every lip is heard the cry
that Vashon island needs to get
more new settlers. The whole
burden seems to be how best to
get the stranger to settle here.
All of which is all right in its pro
per place. But the News-Record
feels that the fellow who is here
needs a word Of encouragement
occasionally The News Record
believes it is more to be desired to
keep the four or five thousand
people who are here happy and
busy, than to let them become dis
couraged and ready to quit, in a
quest for four or five thousand
new corners. Maybe this doctrine
is bordering on anarchy, as it is

PEOPLE I'VE MET. .
Clarence barrow

First time I met Clarence OAR
row was in Boise, Idaho during
the trial of Meyer, Haywood,
and Pettibone, who were accused
of having conspired to murder
Frank Stunenberg, Governor of
the state. Harry Orchard confess
ed having placed the bomb at the
gate of the murdered governor,
who was living at Caldwell, about
thirty miles from Boise at the
time. Orchard said he had been
hired to do the job by the three
men above mentioned. Each man
was to be separately tried for
murder. w. D. Haywood (Big
Bill Haywood) came first for trial.
Clarence barrow of Chicago
and Richardson of Denver were
the leading attorneys for the de-
Tense. Richardson was sort of
j. Ham Lewis type-dapper, we'll
dressed, and dignified. Darrow
was the opposite of Richardson in
everything. His clothes were
wrinkled, pants baggy, hair ruff
led, and in appearance you would
lave taken him for a small town
lawyer. That is in everything but
one--his massive head. He talked

lawn handkerchief while he asked
his questions. He picked his jury
quietly and went at the case. OPP
posing him were j. II. Hawley, al
former U. s. Senator from Idaho,
and the present senator, w. II.
Borah. 1t was battle Of giants.
Borah, the states leading orator
|Hawlsy, the Oldest criminal attor-
|ney in the state; Richardson, the
polished scholar of Denver, and
Clarence Darrow commonplace,
looking fellow who seemed indif-
ferent to the great trial that was
on.
The jury was sworn, the evi-
dence piled up both by the state
and defense, and still Darrow
seemed ordinary. Then came the
lawyers addresses to the jury
Hawley roared and howled like Il
lion. Borah painted Orchard as a
tool of these three bad men and
asked that Haywood be hung.
Richardson strewed flowers OF
literature and closed with a poem
by Lowell-and then came OAR
row. He got the jury to laughing
with him, he then turned his irony
on Hawlcy, and called Governor
Gooding Harry Orchards hired
man." he talked about religion
and especially Calvinism, and
looked a Presbyterian elder, who
was on the jury, in the eye until
he got back a favorable answer
from that look. Then he turned
to piling up the value of a life
and fairly scintillated genius
when with a masters stroke he
lpleaded with the jury mot only
to free Haywood but to forgive
Harry Orchard, the chief witness
against him." The jury was out
for many long hours, and at iast

Train Wreck .Averted.

Mr.. Quin Caster, a former employe
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
prevented a serious wreck on that
road at point just west of Everett's
Tunnel, on the Seventeen-mile Grade
on Monday, February 23rd, as he was
on his way to Piedmont to procure
medicine for some members of his
family. In passing along the right
of-way Mr.. Caster noticed large
rock slipping down the embankment
which landed squarely in the center
of the east-bound track. Mr.. Caster
knew that time freight was about
due and ran back just in time to stop
the approaching train. The trainmen
with the help of some others who had
gathered, removed the rock, the
weight of which was estimated at 800
pounds and would have derailed the
train and caused a bad wreck had it
ran into the obstruction.

In this issue of The Republican will
be found the financial statment show
ing the condition of the towns fnan-
ces as of February 28th of the pres
ent year. If the statement of 1925 is
compared with that of 1924 it will be
readily seen that the town is in much
better financial condition than it was
a year ago, and as a matter of fact
the records in the office of the town
council show that the town is at pres
ent in better condition than it has
been for many years. At the time
of the publication of the statement
of 1924 it showed that there were out
standing drafts amounting to more
than $500. The recent statement
shows that nearly $4,000 of that in
debtedness has been paid, along with
all the drafts issued during the past
year with the exception of four which
amount to a little more than 5000 and
with a balance in the treasury of ap-
proximately $4,000. Besides this
splendid showing the town has estab-
lished two monuments in the matter
of permanent improvements, that of
concreting a portion of Green street
and shortening the span on the Third
street bridge over the Little Yough.
These improvements have of course
eliminated a large repair bill every
succeeding year. Then, too, the town
has paid during the past year little
more than $4,000 on items that were
incurred in the years 1928 and 1924,
which includes interest paid on money
borrowed for the Improvement OF. Oak
and Third streets and hauling of ma
terails for the improvement of Lib
erty street, which latter bill was not
presented for payment until quite re-
Gently. This exposition of the Off
cials is in keeping with the law re-
quiring the publication of such notice
prior to the municipal election to be
held on Monday of next week when
three members of Council and the
town treasurer will be chosen by the
qualified voters.

CHAPTER XII
The Warning

ChiCkie went swiftly yet eau
tiously through the garden. She had
a, message from Barbara to Paul
Scott.
Where the roses grew half wild
about an old summer house, she
paused, plucking deep yellow buds,
pressing their silky petals absently
against her face.
Scenes drifted into her thoughts
Edith Potter walking like a queen
from her husband; passing with the
movie star into the secluded path;
the moon streaming upon her white
arms clasped about his neck. Then
Willnan's face uplifted, telling her
with his lips so pale, she was all
beauty and love would be a glory.
Now Barbara, radiance in her
eyes, wanting to fling herself
away
These pictures passed through
Chickie's mind-Warn1, vital things,
yet they seemed distant and strange
as though she were spectator shut
or by a great wall. The vivid

it. She watched yet took no part
in its hot, restless pulse. She carried
a message.
Often of late. especially here in
this Whitman home, Chickie felt,
like a shadow touching and follow
ing her, this stark isolation. Some
times she smiled. Never mind-go
on-pretend-be still as some one
old and quiet
But other times like now when
whizzing humming birds were fairy
ships and the bees drank long of
honey, youth cried out. Oh she
Ionged for other days; for Jonathan;
for brightness; for a warm hand
clasping hers. And for all that she
ordered grirnly: ooh stop-stop"
the want clamored and clamored in
her heart.
She dreamed at night then, In
these dreams there was always a
wind blowing. She struggled against
it through a river road of oaks. The
baby lay in her arms, its little cold
face against her breast. 1t grew
heavier and heavier until she sank
in the damp earth. because of its
weight and it's stiffness.
She fought against these mem
cries. They made her cry. But not
only in pity for that Chickie who
had suffered and now was dead
in pity for any one-an understand
- +1J,, in
Why, last night seeing Edith Pot
ter, yielding up her pride and her
faith, she had been stirred with this
pity; had wished to say to the
brother: Don't be so harsh-oh
you don't know"
She was sorry for him, too, be-
cause he asked so much of life, de-
manded with such imperious passion
that life give him a dream
And now she was sorrJ for Bar
bara, owned by her love. She wished
to put her arms about the girl-hold
her back.
Strange how she longed to share
in this life, yet pitied those in whom
It throbbed.
Now, going with the note to Paul
Scott, she was torn between sympa-
thy and fear. Barbara had a right
to love; perhaps this was the great
est and finest thing she would ever
know; how dared that Edith keep it
from her! Yet, If Barbara became
reckless?
She had been fortunate the first
few days. He came. Edith was out.
But today at the last moment she
had changed her plans. She had

She went to the telephone. Chickie
heard her calling Norp Willman's
office; calling Barbara with cooling:
Barbara, dear, father is on the
phone. He wishes to speak to you"
Then Edith Potter came into the
hall where Chickie stood. She came
close and spoke in Chickie's lace;
VERY clever, Miss Bryce! Quite a
little spy! Quite an aid to the low
ers! You shall learn what it is to
forget your place, my dear! I fear
you are going to regret this-bit-
terly!''

 By that time the crowd had Nlr- tualiy surrounded the field and every rock and stone that could be found was piled in apparent readl- ness for use.

Soon after the klansmen start cd leaving and met the tusilade or stones. The cars were driven as swiftly as safety would allow through the hail of stones but many of them were reported to have found their mark.
