were in Phatt's day."

rena Matthews who was extradited
from here to face the charge of
murdering her husband at Stillwater
Okla. and who is out on $1000 ball
pending her trial In September ar-
rived here Friday in company with
Momau Pruiett an attorney of Okla-
homa City. Their mission here they
say Is to secure depositions alleged
to have been filed in extradition
proceedings and whtn these are ob
tained within a few days they say
they will return to Oklahoma "to
press criminal action against Attor
ney Springer of Oklahoma" who they
declare got Mrs. Matthews extra
dited on "false and bolstered evi
dence."
Mrs. Matthews says that In the ex
tradition proceedings the affidavit cf
a negro named Colbert was Intro-
duced by Springer and filed tempo
rarily as an exhibit. In this affidavit
Colbert is said to have recited that
he was telephoned to by Mrs. Mat
thews at night and promised $500 If
he would come over and kill her
husband. Springer was cross-examined
on this affidavit and it Is claim-
ed he said that Colbert was a re-
spectable United States deputy mar-
shal. Mrs. Matthews says that Col
bert Is a cirminal of the worst type
and that he would sell any one's soul
to regain his freedom from the state
penitentiary where he is serving a
life sentence for killing a man ten
years or so ago.
(She says she has heard that men
promoting her prosecution promised
Colbert be would be released In four
years if he would make out the affi
davit. She charges that Springer at
the time he swore Colbert was a dep-
uty marshal knew he was a desper-
ate criminal behind the bars.
Previous to being extradited from
here Attorney Springer unsuccess-
fully tried to get her extradited from
Edmonton and Alberta. He brought
Colbert's a.Tidavit to back up his case
in Vancouver.
RUN NOVEL SALOON.
A novel device for inducing th
men in a Swiss milage to stay near
their own homes . has been devised
by the good wives of the viilige rt
Piona. It originated from a long
dispute with the men fcecause then'
was no inn in the locality but no
sooner did a plan originate for a
new liquor saloon than the wives
appealed to the cantonal authorities
declaring that they did not want th
liking for drink to be Introduced Into
the village.
They secured a victory over the
men but the latter took their re-
venge by going every night to tin-
next village where there was a sa-
loon and staying out late. The wom-
en thereupon called a meeting to
discu's means for keeping their men
folk at home.
It was decided to open a saloon
to be managed by the women in turn.
The house was opened and there was
a fresh management every week. The
men soou ceased to make- excursions
to tho neighboring village and in-
stead frequented the women's saloon
where the drink and food were good
and very cheap and no profit was
made from them.
