Is TdkeI, To
 Cleaners

NEW YORK, Nov25. - A com- plaint by the bonded husband" of a Brooklyn wife led to the indict- ment recently of the woman and her mother on charges of grand larceny and conspiracy.
 Timid looking Joseph Newrick, thirty eight said the pair had fleeced him out of his $2500 life savings by forcing him to post the money pledging-
 He would be a good husband.
 2-He would not run off to his native England
 For two weeks after the mar r'age. he said he was not permitted to move into his brides home until he had put up the cash.
 Even then, he declared, he had to sleep on a couch in the living room while his bride, Elvira. thirty five, slept with her mother, Mrs. Rather inc Suero, SiXty-six.
 To cap the climax, he asserted, he later discovered that his wife had made prior arrangements to divorce him after their marriage in September, 1887.

B. C. SURVEYOR
 ENDS WORK IN
 DEASE COUNTRY
Believes InternationalHlgh- way to Begin at
 Vanderhoof

After doing location survey Work on fifty miles of proposed road construction in the Dease Lake country this summer, Engineer D. McN. Lowe has arrived in Juneau by Northern Airways plane.
 Lowe said he believed construc- ton will begin on the road next summer to enable the moving Of heavy draglme equipment from Dease Lake to Boulder Creek and gold placer operations there where Capt. Sid Harrington and associates have taken over considerable ground.
 As for the International High way. Lowe believes the route from Vanderhoof north will be chosen in preference to the route from Hazelton.
 Three routes have been suggested, one taking off from Hazelton, which is the most westerly route in con- sideration. another from Wander EOOI, IdI tllGI Sdot III t'i iNA04' lumbia. and one from the vicinity of Edmonton.
 Lowe believes the more interior route would be handicapped by too great a snowfall, while the more coastal route would encounter con- struction difficulties in a rugged terrain.
 Atlin will probably be contacted by the highway no matter where the international road begins, Lowe believes. and goes further in saying that he believes it possible road will be built from Atlm to salt water via the Taku, Silver Salmon and Pike River valleys.

Buried F Years,

EPHRATA, Pa, Nov. 25.-The rot ted remains of a $20 gold note and S10 bank note-lost twelve years ago have been "cashed in" by Lloyd s. Hess for face value.
 The notes were in a billfold which Hess dropped in a plowed field. A farmer plowed up the bill fold and returned it.
 Hess found that the bills had routed and thought they would not be redeemable. Later he decided he would find out, and sent the U. s. Treasury the billfold and few shreds of the notes it contained
 The Treasury Department sent him a check for $50.

TYSON and Wal

SOS the bullet hole would be toward
the window. That way it would look
like some one from the outside had
shot him. I figured it that way be-
cause of the light, and because the
storm had come from the West and
no man would sit trying to read with
the rain beating in on him. He'd
keep that window closed"
Tyson took a deep breath. An
now I suppose you're going to tell us
that Mrs. Harmon packed up her
things an left an you did nothing
to stop her"
Tom looked worried. NO She,
hasn't left. She wanted to, but
wouldn't let her. At first she acted
1nsulted. You see, I accused her of
numbering her husband"
idiot! Don't yuh know that's a
job for the police? Now we'll have
a fine time gettin' a confession"
"Oh, got the confession"
What"
Il talked to her and pretty soon
she broke down and confessed,
wrote it all out on the typewriter and
she signed it."
The breath came whistling through
Tyson's teeth.
Well" Toms forehead furrowed,
Il guess I'm not much of detec-
tive. I suppose I shouldn't have gone
so far The fact is, 1 don't know the
motive. She wouldn't tell me the mo-
tive, and 1 got soft-hearted and
stopped questioning her. She's locked
up in the back room now. Bows,
there amt no need of YOU making
rumpus, is there? Nobody knows
what happened. You don't have to
stir things up just because I didn't
flnd a motive"
TYSON looked at Wallis soberly.
Then he looked back at Tom. \
NO. 1 guess we can forgive you for
not discovering the motive. An
since you got a signed confession.
mebbe 1t won't be necessary to raise
a rumpus. Next time" he cautioned
solemnly, you ought to complete the
job and get the motive"
L hope there won't be any next
time" Tom said fervently. He seemed
vastly relieved Much obliged bows
guess amt much Of detective"
Well, for an amateur, you'll get
by" Tyson said.
Long after the police had departed
with their prisoner, Tom wondered
why Tyson had winked at Wallis and
why Wallis had grinned. Well, only
a man in business could understand
what a narrow escape he'd had.
Copyright, 1881
Evening star., 1938-09-17

We'll, what if I hadn't? Be worse
wouldn't it? Sure, so I called head
quarters like I shoulda done. But
I'm asking you as a favor to let me
explain what I've found out before
you go questioning the guests and
getting them all excited Come into
the Office, boys, and let me tell you
how I size up the situation"
1t. Tyson and Patrolman Wallis
exchanged glances. Tyson sighed. He
had had cases like this before: A
man in business who didn't want
publicity and so had tried to solve
the crime himself and usually made
a botch of it.
We'll, we gotta ask you bunch
Of questions anyhow" Tyson said
80 I suppose we might as well get
inside OUTER the wet. But don't get
no ideas of keepin' it quiet. Murders
amt solved that easy"
"NOW. look" Tom began when
they were inside the snug little
Office, there was thundershower
see? So nobody heard the shot. Well,
about an hour ago this Mrs. Harmon
came rushing in and said her husband
had been shot and would come quick
We'll, naturally, got over there
as soon as I could. And here was
her husband sitting under a reading
lamp with book in his lap and a
bullet in'his head. The window near
by was open
Hes a fiend for fresh air. Mrs.
Harmon sniffed. I guess some one
must have shot him from the out
side
We'll, it looked that way. 1t
looked like 4 have to rouse the whole
camp and mavbe keep every one under
surveillance TIL the mystery had been
solved"
That was smart" Tyson said sar-
castically
But I got thin king about what it
would do to my business" Tom went
on. Then I saw Lhe lamp"
What lamp"
"The one I just told you he'd been
reading under. Only IL was shining
right plumb in his face, and I figured
a man couldn't do much rtading with
the light shining full in his face"
Say" said Wallis, get on with it.
So what?"
so then I began thinking The
lamp was a bridge light, the shade
OF which could be raised or lowered
Well. the shade was too far down
on the stand for this Mr.. Harmon
to have it in back of him and still
see to read, so I figured it must have
been on his side. In that event be
