A Warrenton Matter
John A. Cobb, the well known bar

and battery against one John Brice.
He had some words with Brice there
on Friday last when Brice, in a fit ol

eyes, Cobb's glasses being on a,t the
time. The complaint was duly placed
before rrosecuting Attorney McCue,
and the warrant issued. Brice will
be arretted when he shall be located:
his home is said to be in Portland
It is a penitentiary offense to strike
a man whose glasses are on his face
at the time, and Brice will have to set
up a stiff pica in extenuation of his
work. Mr. Cobb has suffered greatly
from the foul blow, the glasses hav
ing been broken and driven into his
left eye, and has been under treat
ment ever since.

Brewer, and the shelter from the
midday deluge of rain was extended
to the rest of the day and all of Sun
day night. The girls explained that
they had come down from Ferndale
to meet a brother of Miss Matthews,
and go to Warrentoit where work
was awaiting them, but that they had
missed the young man. On Monday
thev left the Sutton home, presum
ably to follow up the program of
which they had spoken (having, on
Sunday night been in telephonic com
munication with one of Miss Mat
thews' brothers here, two of whom,
James and Thomas, work at the
Tonmie Point mills), and no more
was thoucht of the matter by Mr.
and Mrs. Sutton, until yesterday
evening, when distressed inquiries
were received from Mrs. Brewer, of
Ferndale, who has had no word
from her daughcr during the entire
week and is alarmed at her silence.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of Chief of Police Gammal and
nothing will be left undone to locate
the girls j it being understood they
have not been to Warrenton.

dicted by Chairman Conner, the
Democratic committee today voted
almost solidly in favor of an unin
structed delegation to the national
convention. But one voice was raised
in opposition, that of Charles P. Wil

explained that he stood for Bryan and
if Williams could have his way the
birthday gifts to the Nebraskan would
have included the promise of the
united support by the Democracy of
New York State. Today's meeting
lasted just eight minutes. Each of

favorably with that of Clara Morris
and the waits between the acts are
not so long as when Miss Morris'
plays it. The dresses of Miss Tucker
were the envy of the ladies and it will
surprise many who had the pleasure
of seeing them last night to know
that they are the creations of a local
dressmaker.
