In an instant I knew I waa looking at the man who rushed Into my drug store and demanded that I throw up my hands and deliver to him my money and who later shot me through the Intestines. "And after a second's close scrutiny, 1 said, That la the man that shot me; lake him away.' "Burke, I have not ttu least doubt, la the man that rushed into my drug store and like a crazy man, demanded me to give him all the money I had. His appearance when I saw him again at the hospital; his dress and his ac tions were Identical with the man that held me up. j I cannot be mistaken. His voice,, too, is the same. " With the hat on and a revolver In his hand he Is the exact picture of the robber and should he be presented In such an attitude In the police court It will-only s!rve to make my identification the stronger. "I am much stronger ndw than I have been since the night of the shoot ing and the doctor assures me that 1 will be able to leave the hospital with in three weeks' time. Fever complica tions have not beset me during the past week, so 1 have every hope of a speedy recovery. I suppose that I could sit up now, but the doctor does not want me to run any chances of a relapse." Dr. E. M. Brown, who has had 'charge of Siever Lar-en ever since the night the druggist was shot in his drug store, stated yesterday that he had every hope of Larson's speedy recovery. "1 look fo. Larsen to be able to leave the room at the St. Joseph's hospital within three weeks' time, providing, of course, there Is no relapse In the mean time. I do not look for any such re lapse In his case. He Is doing nicely and Is able to sit up and receive visi tors. There have been no fever com plications within the week to retard the progress of his "recovery. "While some," continued Dr. Brown, "may consider Larsen'e case and re covery little short of remarkable, I can assure you that such Is not the case. There have been Innumerable cases where the Intestines have been perfor ated by the bullet that recovered. The trouble with a good many people who have been ahot through the Intestines has ben that they called In their fam lly physician Instead of a surgeon who haa had experience with gunshot wounda "I think that a large percentage of those who have died as a result of hav ing been shot through the Intestines. died simply -because the physician called In did not understand completely how to treat the case. "Larsen's case Is no more remarkable than scores of others that have been brought to my notice In the past His intestines were sewed up and his nat urally atrong physical condition will probably do the rest for him. What re tards his recovery Is the condition of the pelvla bone through which the bul let of the robber tore. It was badly hurt and has been some time In knit ting and growing again."

Lavina Dellsle, arrested In Cle Elum Wednesday on suspicion of robbery and for passing herself off as a man, on Wednesday ar rived In Cle Elum,. having paid her passage from Auburn to Cle Elum by firing on one of the big mountain en glnes between here and Tacoma, About three weeks age ahe appeared at the court house In this city, and claimed that she was destitute and either wanted to become a county charge or be given a ticket to Olympla, where she had people. The latter was considered the best policy by the county officials, and Deputy Auditor Evan J. Mathews was Instructed by the county commissioners to purchase a ticket and to see that she smarted for Olympla. She was a that time attired In woman's clothing. She claimed to have been keeping house for a" man by the name of Hampton before coming to Ellens burg. ' After arriving In Olympla, she went to the county officials and made about the same plea that she did to the offi cials here. She evidently did not re ceive the assistance asked for, as the next heard of her she appeared In Au burn and asked to pass coal on an en gine. ' On arriving at Cle Elum she had hardly left the engine until she was ar rested on suspicion of being Implicated In the robbery of the depot the even ing before by some hoboea . She waa also suspected as' being a woman by the officers who arrested her, and upon calling a doctor and subjecting th prisoner to an examination, hla suspi cions were found to be true. Deputy Crowley was sent for, and he brought her to Ellensburg Thursday on No. 4, where she was lodged in the county Jail - She waa a hard prisoner to handle, and fought like a tiger after leaving the train at the station here, not wish ing to go to Jail. Just what will be done with her haa not been deter mined. . ; ' ' . The lady clerks at the court house, feeling sorry , for the woman, have started a movement to secure her wo man's attire. She has expressed the wish that she will be sentenced to about six years' klmprlsonment, so that she will at least have a home to go to, as she now ac knowledges she haa no relatives or frUnda ' , "' Wetasklwln and the other from La combe.

March 8. There is a pos slbtltty that the war being waged be. tween the pool rooms of this city and the telegraph company 'which serves to Its customers returns from the various race tracks may result in the presenta tion of a bill fo the legislature which, should it become a law, will prohibit the transmission of information relat ing to racing results by telegraph or telephone In the state of New York. In fact, two such bills are now In con templation. Perhaps the most Important move since hostilities began has been the shutting off of service to a pool room In Chicago, which. It was said, had been caught delivering race results to an agent of the New York gamblers for transmission to this city by telephone. This did not have the effect, however, of crippling the New York rooms. In formation was obtained from various sources, but not without much delay. Chicago, March 8. After three Visions the report of the municipal "graft" committee has been given to the city council. Alderman E. F. Herrmann, chairman of the committee, handed In the document, which con cludes five months investigation Into charges of city hall corruption The report finds there is no graft in Chi cagothat Is, no "systematic' graft such as obtains in other cities. Graft in Chicago is only "sporadic" The re port also makes recommendations for the reform of public evlla: , The Investigation was started when Mayor Harrison In an interview last fall aald that If he were to weed out corruptlonlsts he would have grafters Jumping out of every window of the city halL The results, before the report was Issued, were the suspension or dis charge of more than 50 city employes,, the Indictment of a dozen and the res ignation of numerous others. In the matter of measures for the suppression, of vice, the report of the committee takes Issue with several of the reform movements' which are now In the pub lic eye.
