A man and a woman, both badly In toxicated, nnd posing ns father nnd daughter, were taken off tho George W. Elder when she docked hero this morning from Portland, nnd placed In the city jail. Evidence found In their suitcases, especially consisting of two revolvers, some shells nnd . qtinntltv of cocaine, led the officers to firmly believe thnt n white slav ery case has been exposed through the weakness of tho actors In the enso to leave liquor alono until after their arrival hero. Papers on the tnnn, who Is nbout in years of ago, give his name ns J. W. Summon. Some of thesu pap ers bore evidence thnt he had nt one tlmo been n well known nnd respect ed citizen, not only of Idaho, but of Callfomln ns well. Tho nnmo of tho woman, who Is nbout 3G years of age. could not be learned, though officers aboard the boat declare the couple passed as father nnd daugh ter. Thnt claim Is strongly doubted by the Mnrshflold officers, who de clare their belief that the woman was being brought here for Immoral pur poses. Tho two wore locked In Jail, both so drunk as to bo nlmost Insensible. Tholr baggage was searched at tho pollco station. In the woman's va lise was found a small .32 caliber re volver, together with n box of bul lets, n quantity of cocalno and n pint bottle of whiskey. Shannon's suit case disclosed another ugly look ing revolver nnd with It n box of shells. He nlso carried nbout ,$1" In coin besides an expensive Howard watch. Tho woman Is no't very largo and tho fnct thnt her hair has been cut short nnd thnt her suitcase nlso con tained several men's shirts, hns also led to the heller that she either hns or was going to dress like a man. When taken from tho bont sho was Insensible nnd n doctor wns summon ed to Investigate whether or not she wns "doped." Dr. Horsfnll declared her case one of "too much booze." Officers of tho Elder stated thnt tho couplo en mo aboard In Portland pretty much under tho Influence of liquor, that thoy wore more or loss drunk during tho voyago here and that nt North Horn! tho couple se cured nnotherenrgo of whiskey which served to lnnd them both hero with "four sheets fn the wind." Papers found on Shannon show thnt he wns fleeted county surveyor of Idaho county, Idaho, In lS'JG nnd In thnt sumo year ho wns appointed by Governor J. McConnoll ns dole gntc to the Immigration Convention nt Holso. The pnpora were badly worn, as though thev had been long carried nnd often used In succeed ing life of hard living ns evtdonco of good chnrncter Sovernl recommenda tions of a later dato show that Shan non, descended from Ills position as n county surveyor, was the formcan of a railroad gang on tho ForuleyLns sen and Susnnvlllo brunch of tho Central Pacific from November 10, 1013, to May 31. 1!H. The couple arc still In such n con dition In jnll that thev can not be questioned and the officers declare that thoy shall be held until a full Investigation enn bo made and their records received.
