A strange case came to light 'ast Saturday afternoon when Fred Mar shall, a teamster In the employ of P. P. Collier, the fuel man, found his two daughters, Bessie and Edna, who had been kidnapped from his home In Boise over three years ago. He had gone Into the Alexander De partment Store and there discover ed the little girls In the care of Mrs. U E. Cook, the daughter of Rev. G. W. RIgby, who had taken them when their mother died over a year ago at Echo. The history of the case Is a pe culiar one. Over three years ago Mr. Marshall was living with his wife 'n Boise, when she eloped with a man named Dan Clifford, taking the child ren with them. Although Mr. Mar shall made every effort to. find them he could not get trace of the fugi tives, and at last came to this part of the country, where he has since lived. About a year ago Mr. RIgby was called to Echo to attend the funeral of a woman who had died with ty phoid fever, and found there were two children left by her called iom and Dick. One of them was taken down with the fever and It was then discovered by the neighbors that the little sufferer was a girl. Feeling sorry for the child, Mrs. Cook, who resides In the vicinity rf Pendleton, on a ranch, sent for the girl and has since cared for her as her own. Clifford, after working on tho sym pathies of the people of Echo to the extent of over n couple of hundred dollars, went to Weston, taking the other child, who has since also been found to be a girl, with hlra. He lived there for some time, giving tho child Into tho care of a lady In that city. One day be gave the woman a sum of money and the child a smaller one as a present. and In the evening asked to borrow i it, saying that he would return It in the morning. Since that time noth ing has been heard fo him. At this time .Mr. Marshall, the father of the children, was hauling lumber Into Weston from the moun tains, and It Is supposed that Clif ford saw him and made good his es cape. About this time Mrs. Cox sent the little girl In Weston money to come and visit her sister, and since that time both of tho children bavo lived with Mr. and Mrs. Cook cn their ranch. Mr. Marshall has seen them in the city while with Mrs. Cook, xtnfl has hauled hay from the ranch of Mr. Cook, but never was near enough to the children until Saturday afternoon to recognize them. The children are now at the home of Mr. Marshall, who has married again and lives in Pendleton, and aro happy and content to have found their father. They are aged 7 and 10 years. DEATH OF MRS. JONES. Passed Away This Morning With With Cancer of the Stomach. Mrs. Mary Jones, the wife of Mad ison Jones, the well known retired stockman of this city, died at the family home on the corner of Ing and Court streets, at 4 o'clock this rooming after a long illness with cancer of the stomach.

She has been a resi dent of this city for six years and before coming hero was a resident of Pilot Rock for 10 years. She was well known in the county and was for years one of the most prominent members of the Baptist church In tho county. Besides tho husband, two sops survive the mother, ono Benjamin . . nt hl time in Califor nia,' and tho other Franklin Jones, at home In this city.

The Birmingham Post hears on highest authority that the French minister denies he sent Lamsdorff a long note referring to the situation in the far east, In which he reviews French-Russian re lations.

The Berlin cor respondent of the Pall Mall Gazette today learns that the proposed draft of the Russian reply to Japan will be laid before the czar tomorrow.

CASH AND TARGETS FOR TOURNAMENT LOCAL SPORTSMEN HOPE TO SECURE JUNE EVENT. Will Begin an Active Campaign for Eight Hundred Dollars Cash and Targets at Three Cents Each Will Be a Great Event. At n meeting of the Pendleton Sportsmen's Association held In tho council chambers last Saturday evening. It was decided to offer to the board of directors of tho North west Association a purse oi $800 -id-ded money and targets at 3 cents for the Northwest tournament, for the latter part of June. This will bo the largest ptirso Jf fered for the shoot ln the history -(f the asoctatlon, and it is thought safe to say that the board will decide on this city as the plnco of tho next tournament. The local association will not ask the merchants for money to make up the purse, but will rnlse tho amount by the advertising space in their program, which will bo a very pretty souvenir of the time, and by other plans which will give value re ceived to those who help them In their efforts to bring tho meeting here. The exact date of the- tournament Is not decided, but will be set by the local association which gets the meeting. If It comes to this city It is probable that tho tlmo will be set for tho latter part of Juno. BUYING I IN THE EAST. Equippede With American Cars, Brakes and Motors. London, Feb. 1.
