This morning, Sheriff Gage received word that the chances were that (he elopers would be caught. Tho affair has caused quite a stir in North Bend.

Be sides a home in North Bend, they have a ranch across the Bay. I Flagg has been employed at tho I North Bend box factory.

They appeared to be living happily together and tho news of the escapade came as a great t shock to all.

Late yesterday, Mr. Covey, the' girl's father, swore out a warrant for ; the arrest of the pair and immediate ly a deputy sheriff took the trail.

LETNATI1S UEGIDE CASE Buy your groceries t SACCm'S. 0 WIFE'S SISTER ARGUE POUT E Chadwick Petition in Hennes sey Suit Submitted in Court, Before Judge Coke, the Interven tion petition of J. W. Bennett in be half of Jane A. Chadwick in the case of the Port of Coos Bay vs. Patrick Hennessey was argued. The argu ments were completed and the mat ter taken under advisement by Judge Coke. The case is one started by the Port Commissioners to determine the amount they will have to pay for cer-' tain tide lands needed to enlarge the harbor. The Port contends that the land belongs to the people and that the State did wrong in disposing of them, and now the land should be either returned to the people free of for what the private owners paid the State for them, plus Interest. "Prior to Hie argument of the In-, tervention petition, C. F. McKnight, ' attorney for Patrick Hennessey, and myself offered in the presence of the court ot allow Mr. Bennett as attor ney for the Chadwick property to come Into tho case providing he would stipulate to join us In request ing the Supreme Court to advance the appeal there so that a final decision could be obtained this year," said Mr. Peck to-day." However, Mr. Ben nett refused to agree to the plan for expediting the case, and so we are qpposlng ,hls intervention in the suit. We are willing and anxious that every tide land owner should intervene and test the case out as thoroughly as possible, but we do not want any un necessary delays in tho litigation. In-1 stead of agreeing to join in the effort I to hasten the hearing on the appeal, Mr. Bennett stated that he would in sist on the regular procedure in such cases, which, as everybody knows, Is slow. We wanted it tested thorough ly, but as quickly as possible, so that the Port Commission can go ahead with our harbor improvements." In filing a petition to intervene in the case, Mr. Bennett contends that the precedent in this suit vitally af fects the Interests of his client, while the attorneys for the Port Commis sion and for Patrick Hennessey con tend that in this specific case, Mr. Bennett's client is In no way a party to it.

It has been reported In Chicago, San Francisco and elsewhere that some such step probably would be taken, but. that It was all talk was clearly shown to-day when the Governor said he would do nothing to Interfere with the Jeffries-Johnson contest.

TOWER RTH CAROLINA ARRESTED JUDGE COKE TO BE Consents to Enter Race Again For Circuit Judgeship in This District. John S. Coke has announced that he will bo a candidate for the Repub lican nomination for Circuit Judge In this judicial district in tho coming primaries. The announcement was made to friends who waited upon him a few days ago. It was expected that the necessary nominating petitions for him would be started to-day, but there is a little delay in that County Clerk Watson did not have the nec essary blanks on hand yesterday. The decision of Judge Coke to bo a candidate for the place Is a source of gratification to all tho leading at torneys in Coos county, as well as to his many friends. During his short tenure of office his services on the bench have been of an unusually satisfactory character and have won for him much praise. Recently he was selected to assist the Portland judges In that district and won many plaudits from the members of the Portland bar. F. B. Waite, who was nt Portland whllo Judge Coke was presiding there, when he was apprised to-day that Judgo Coko had decided to be a candidate for the place again, said that somo of tho leading attorneys of tho T?ncn Plfv lin.l noronnnllv nV- .... . , , i. . . , pressed to him a high estimate of i Mr. Coke's services there. They In formed Mr. Waite that seldom had they encountered a judgo of such comparatively short experience on the bench who presided as well as did Judge Coke. Mr. Coko was appointed to tho bench when the last Legislature pro vided for a third Circuit Judge In this district. It was only at his con sent to accept that Gov. Chamberlain agreed to sign the bill authorizing a third judge for tho district, some thing that the attorneys and people of Coos and Curry counties had sought for years. In accepting it, Judge Coke did so nt a financial sac rifice to himself. By holding special sessions In his chnmbors In Marshfleld and extra ses sions at Coqulllo when needed, ho has not only been of much conveni ence to litigants and attornes's, but has materially reduced tho public ex pense attendant upon court proceed ings. While it is understood that Judgo Hamilton of Roseburg will bo a can didate for re-election on tho Demo cratic ticket and that a cousin of Mr. Hamilton, Attorney Watson of Roseburg, Is also an aspirant for 'tho honor on the Republican ticket, it is not believed this will affect Judgo Coko. There Is a tacit understand ing that Lano county should have ono judge, Douglas county ono Judgo and Coos aud Curry tho third.
