Dor Bath.

Indian Tom Takes an Involuntary Har-
Dor Bath.
A siwash, who gave his name a. "Indfan
Tom," fell into the harbor near the Oregon Inn
provement bunkers at $50 o'clock last evening
and narrowly escaped drowning.
Indian Tom" and his squaw were just start
ing in a small canoe for the West Seattls beach
to camp for the night. and when passing the
coal bunkers Tom, who had been imbibing too
much raw whisky lost his balance and fell into
the water, which is very deep st that point.
The faithful squaw Immediately set up a wall
for help as her buck sank repeatedly beneath
the cold salt water and reluctantly drank
nearly as much of that liquid as he had of the
"potlum" short time before.
The Indian woman's cries attracted long
shoreman named Roberts, who happened to be
near the east end OF the bunkers Roberts hur-
riedly slid down one of the piles and caught
Tom by the hair as he was sinking for about the
last time. Roberts raised the Indian out OF the
water and dropped him into the canoe, which
the squaw had pushed up close to
the bunkerA The cold water plunge had
something of magnetic effect upon the Indian
for he was afterwards about as sober as he had
ever been in his life, and explained that he had
become respondent because his horse had been
stolen from q point where he had had him
staked for pasture near the south end of Grant
street br dge. This, he said, caused him TO ct
drunk. Ildian Tom said he and his squaw
had come on horseback over the trail from
Tulal. p last Monday.
