late yesterday with the bonds In her

rest while seated In the Denver train,
but was allowed to go4 after giving up
the bonds and $63 to the management of
the Congress hotel.
The woman purchased the bonds and
paid her Imtel bill with checks on the
Farmers Loan A Trust company of
New York and when the brokers be
came suspicious of the checks they tel
egraphed to New York and learned there
was no account in the bank under the
woman's name. She was traced to tho
Denver train, which was due to leave
In a few minutes. She had got on the train
by inducing a woman to allow her to
carry .a baby. Neither the brokers nor

ANNEXATION MAJORITY
GIVE
- 1
By the rousing majority of 284 votes
the' Mount Scott and Woodstock ols-
trlcts yesterday decided In favor of aiji
nexatlon to the city of Portland. This
shows a big change of sentiment sines
last June; when' the same territory gave
over 100 majority against annexation.
The annexationists lost no time this
hs-su-
preme eourt .to dismiss the appeal from
the decision x of Presiding Judge Osn
tenbein, whereby the annexation ques
tion was ot-dtrel Blared on the ballot.
Johnson & Stout, attorneys for the an
nexationists, annsunco that theywill at
once present s iotlonto dismiss on the
ground that the election has' been held,
there Is nothing, left for b-supreme
court to pass on, the purpose of the ap
peal being to- prevent an election on an-i
nexatlon. ; -- -..' -- '';
It if ssld that the supreme court has
ssverig times refused to) Intorfer ia
similar orfses where an election has
been hela" pending the appeal.
The four precincts that voted an' the
question yesterday gave a; decisive ma
jority for annexation". Even In Wood
stock.- where the heaviest vote was
polled In . opposition last June, there
wSs a' majority of -17 In favor. -'---Ttie
