All Forecasts of Russia's Reply to

pal Secretary Suggests That Amer
ica Be Entrusted With Protection
of Catholics and Their Interests.
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.

London, Feb. 1. 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 note makes It obvious
to the Post that France will not
commit herself to any measures il
vancing Russian Interests, and wants
neutrality.
Still a Dead Secret.
London, Feb, 1. 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.
Its contents have not ben commu
nlcated to any power. An eminent
diplomat says all forecasts of the
reply are mere conjectures.
To Protect Catholics.
Rome, Feb. 1. Secretary Delval
has suggested that America be rn

to been the special province nf
France, but the strain between the
Vatican and France and Delval's de

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.
