cent tragedy near Palouse, stopped over at
the Baldwln house IN company with Miss
Mcdonnell, her relative. She was on her
way to Oregon to visit her grandparents.

once bright glrl who would doubtless have
been power in her community for good
had she not been worse than slain by her
natural guardian and protector.
The strange disappearance of several
young girls between the ages of II and Is
IN the past two weeks is creating quite a
little excitement at Tacoma. No trace
whatever has been found of any of them,
and In each case they have disappeared
without taking any clothing except what
they were wearing at the time. Kidnap.

and intelligent, and it is thought they wero
abducted for the purpose of prostitution.

wheels OF Hall Bros heavy transfer truck.

Gently lost his store by fire, was arrested in

Localizer: All the brick yards about e.
lensburgh are running to their fullest ca.
pacity, and making daily 100, 900 bricks,
and still they are all behind with their or.
iers. 1t looks now as if some of the con.
templated brick buildings will have to lie
Dyer for another year. The brick cannot
be furnished as fast as they are wanted. A
good many will be content if they can get
he walls up and the roofs on their houses.
There is great activity in the sale of all
kinds OF building material. One week
here is scarcity of lime, tn, next week
lumber is short, and now the cry Is for
orick. A large number of men are employ
I'd in laying brick and much solid brick
work is being put up.
