She says her name Is St. Clair. The woman arrived here Saturday j morning, but n"t until yesterday did she become violent enough to attract the at:ention of the officers. During! the evening she appeared n West ; Alta street and without formality, walked into a house occupied by Charles Hay, a salesman in the; Workingmen's clothing store Mr. ' Mr. Pay was very much surprised at the appearance of his visitor and when a moment later she began to disrobe he concluded that something, was wrong and he beat a retreat. P.ay went in search of an officer j and when they returned to the house COLDS the woman had discarded her own clothing entirely and was arrayed In a pair of trousers and a sweater be longing to l'ay. She was engaged in washing her own garments. Helieving that the woman was thoroim'.ily insane, she was taken in to custody by Marshal llurdane. At that time the woman was complain ing of having lost her purse contain ing $1.S0 and said she had lost It In a pond in the upper part of the city. She asked the marshal to go with her to recover the money and ex plained that when they reached the "pond" she would wade In and get the purse.

MAX FOU t l.F.KK. lack Swart Is Nominated In Colum bia County. Jack Swart, formerly well known in La Grande railroad circles, was nominated as county clerk at the re publican primaries held in Columbia county. Washington, says the La Grande Star. He is now O. K. & X. agent at Col fax and his name was placed on the primary ballot on the insistance of his friends and he received the nom ination by a very large vote. The strange part of the matter is that Mr. Swart cannot afford to give up his present position with the railroad company and take the office of coun ty clerk, for the reason that the pay in the latter place is not as much as what he Is already receiving. Mr. Swart was formerly operator and clerk at the La Grande railroad office. He is a brother of Train Dis patcher Swart, of this city. The very hour a cold ttarti It the ! time to check it.

A big. fat Indian brave from the Klamath agency packed his pony with the grub and camping outfit which included a big feather bed. Part way up the trail the pony got frisky, and when he quit bucking the feathers lined the trail for half a mile and one aborigine was obliged to sleep on the cold, bard ground. Just as his forefathers used to do. A party from Silver Lake, which Included two pretty school ma'ams, had trouble with their pack horses early in the game and their camp eiulppnge was strewn all over the mountain. While the men of the patty were gathering up the wreck age the ladles walked on. One of the sehoolma'am's Cinder ella slippers blistered her little foot sie tootsle, but she was game, and taking off her shoes and stockings she tackled the rocky trail barefoot and went to the top In schedule time. She was soon the most popular girl In the camp. These are some of the extreme types of humanity.
