It now transpires that Charles
Comer alias Charles Potter, the 16-year-old
boy who started procedings
against E. M. Cook and Josephine
Cook by complaining that 'they sold
him liquor and then defrauded him
of his horse is an alleged horsethief
himself and will have to face that
charge in Washington.
About the time young Comer made
his charges against the two Cooks,
Sheriff Taylor received a description
of a horse which had been stolen at
Prescott. Wash., a week ago yester
day. When the Cooks were bound
over to awa't the action of the grand
jury, the boy was also bound over in
lieu of 100 bonds so that he might
be htlJ as a witness.
Sheriff Taylor is a pretty good
judge of faoes and, when he saw the
boy, he immediately connected him
up with the Frescott affair. An in
vestigation proved his surmises to be
correct but the boy refused to admit
his guilt. However, when Sheriff
Toner arrived yesterday morning and
confronted the boy with a long string
of evident:, he admitted the theft.
He will be held here until the case
in which he is a witness is disposed
of when he will be turned over to

Prather, . a negro who was to have
been hanged for the murder of W. H.
Archie, and whose sentence was com
muted by Governor Cruce thirty min
utes before the hour set for the exe
cution dreamed that he was to be re
prieved. "Two or three times," said Porter,
"I dreamed that a white man came
upon the scnffold just after the rope
had been put around my neck. I
didn't know him, hut he- seemed to
be the boss of Sheriff Spain. He told
the sheriff to let me go. I dreamed,
and Spain took the rope from around
my neck.
"There wasn't any penitentiary sen
tence in the dream and I thought I
went down the alley on n run. I
wanted to get away from the jail and
the scaffold as quickly as I could.
Whenu I was safe away from It I
wanted to go back to the place where
I k'lled the white man. I always
wanted to see if the blood was still
on the sidewalk. Once before, two
dnys after I killed' him T went back
there and saw the blood on the Fide
walk. I guess the dream meant that
I wasn't going to be hanged."

The writer of one letter said he
thought $30,000 would be a reasonable
price for an Inch of tongue.
"A University of Pennsylvania grad

his tongue very highly as first-class
and in fine condition." One young
man in the east said he desired t'1
