JAPANESE IN TROUBLE Held Under Suspicion of Trying to Kid nap GirL Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Thomas l.invilW was apprised of a peculiar roa dition of affairs that called for his offi cial interference, which he was not slow in proffering His informant was a lady from I'ppertown. by name of Mrs, Swarta, who h, had in her employ for some time past, a young Japanese girl, whose name could not be learned, and who had been lured from the Swattx home on Thursday by a Japanese whose make-up and actions dk? not please the lady but rather aroused her ftudcions. The. girl, who is but 10 year of age had gone out with Uie Jap with the as surance that she would return in the afternoon in time to take up her house hold duties, and her failure to show up at the required hour, and her continued absence yesterday, aroused the suspic ions of the lly, who is warmly inter ested in the young foreigner.

Parker Htmsr, where the girl was in bed, par tially atircd. and Miki, the man in the lying hesklo her on the out kle. When the slieritf made himself known the Jap was profuse in his pro testation of innocence, and churned he was simply watching her to keep her from going to the bail, a course she had determined upon. On the other hand the girl was evidently pleased to have the Vieriff interpose, and when ha restored her to the .home and custody of Mr. Swarta. her joy was sincere beyond simulation, and was expressed by alter nate tear and smiles and ejaculations of delight and assurance of content. She avowed that the man Miki meant ill v her and declared that one of three comaiiiui-i ol hi now in the city end working like beaver to secure his re lease, w.i a notoriously bad mm from Tacomai, who had made overtures to her tliere to lead a life of shame, when he landed in that city four months ago.
