POSTMASTER AT EAGLE
ARRESTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT
Clyde A. Thompson, the well known
postmaster at Eagle Is under arrest
on a charge of embezzlement and
has been bound over to appear be
fore the grand jury on ball In the
sum of $6000, of which amount J. B.
Howard, formerly of Cordova, furn
ished $2000.
Charles Riddeford, a postal inspec
tor and Arthur Paisley, an inspector
from Spokane, made the complaint
j against Thompson.
i The inspectors came to Eagle in
I September and immediately upon ar
rival there went to make an investi
| gation of the office. After the in
spection the postmaster was charged
I by the inspectors with being short of
! funds to the amount of over $6000.
The charge of embezzlement was
made before the commissioner at Ea
gle by Riddeford and Paisley and the
-defendant waived the right of secur
ing counsel and refused to give any
statement until he was brought up
for trial.
Friends of Thompson say they are
sure there must be some mistake, as
it seems almost an impossibility in a
town the size of Eagle for a man to
collect postofflce funds to the amount
the accused is suspected of appropri
ating.
A Charm for Wives
A young woman who thought she
was losing her husband’s affection
went to a seventh daughter of a sev
enth daughter for a love charm. The
mystery woman told her: Get a piece
of raw beef, cut flat, about an Inch
thick. Slice an onion in two, and rub
both sides with it. Put on pepper and
salt and toast it on each side over a
red coal Are. Drop on it three lumps
of butter and parsley, and get him to
eat It.”
The young wife did, and her hus
band loved her ever after.
Sealed Proposals will be receired
by the Coast and Geodetic Surrey, to

7, 1917, at 12 o'clock noon, (or the

one point, 38 to 39, after an extra
five-minute Interval had been played

The One He Wanted
Young Isaac stood in line at the
library to draw out a book. When
his turn came he asked respectfully:
"Please give me Miss Alcott’s Jew
book."
The young lady looked puzzled. “A
book by Miss Louisa M. Alcott?”
"Yes," reiterated Isaac, "Her Jew
book.”
"Can you remember the title?”
"No; but it's her Jew book,” he
insisted.
"Well, I'll read over some of the ti
tles of her books to you, and perhaps
you can tell me the one you want
when you bear it read.
Patiently, she began: “ ‘Little Wo
men,’ ‘Little Men.’ ‘Under the Lilacs,'
‘Rose in Bloom,’-”
“That’s it, that’s it-” cried Isaac;
“ ’Rosenbloom.’ ”
