said Rev. Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher,
paator of the White Temple, who was
present In the municipal court this
morning to do what he oould to assist
Oeorge T. Easts, cbargea witn larceny.
"I have to fight the saloons that sell the
lienor, and then I have to 4o all I can
for those who aet drunk."
The case was called before Judge
Hogue, who set next Tuesday as ths
date for the trial. . It waa through the
request of the prisoners parents at Col
fax. Wash., that Dr. Brougher was pres
ent this morning to See If he could help

toxicated when ho took the belongings

Easts was taken Into custody yester
day Br Detective Hart-nan. on com

with tha larceny or some money, a
watch charm, an elk's tooth, a stick pin
and 180 cigar tickets. The robbery Is
alleged to have been perpetrated by
Easts when sharing sigers room in a
Sixth street lodging house.

of Colfax, Wash. They are members
of the Baptist church of that city, and
that is now tney came to see tne as
