vicinity. The gas issues in such
volume from the mouth Of the well
that when lighted it brightly illuml-
mates the town o. Tacoma, two

$4,000 was drawn from the Treasury on
Saturday last. $4,000 was Government
money in the safe. and $4,000 belonged to
Mr.. Leedom the Sergeant at arms. Slcott
has always borne good reputation. But 1t
has recently been disclosed that he was an
ardent follower OF tho race-track. and his
relations with woman named Lulu Bar
rctt for the last year are said to have been
very intimate. and as she has also disap-
peared il Is supposed that they have gone
together. Mr.. Silcott leaves in Washington
most estimable wife and two little chill
dren. A curious feature OF the case Is that
the treasurer has the receipts OF all the
members for the amount Of money
drawn. IL Is the custom for MEM
bers TO give their receipts TO the cashier
who Is made their official agent
10 draw their money. Mr.. Silcott drew
the money on those receipts. and the mem
bers will have 10 look 10 Mr.. Silcott's
bondsmen and Sergeant alarms Leedom
for their money. They have nearly all lost
something. but most OF them drew their

Some. however. have lost from one to two

Members often use the Sergeant at arms
