the substantial support We have re-
ceived from the citizens of Olympia,
in whose interests we are working
causes us to redouble our efforts TO

Last night John Davis, while in an
intoxicated condition, walked off the
bridge draw and fell with great force
on the deck Of the steamer Colby,
and thence into the bay. The noise
of his falling and eplashing about in
the water awoke Tom Mullaney, mas
ter of the Colby, who went TO Davis
assistance and rescued him from q
watery grave. The night watchmen
then took him in charge. Davis was
on the street this morning and the
scratches and bruises on his face
would indicate that he had taken an
ampliiied course through threshing
machine.
