The citizens of the usually quiet
community of Null's Tank, in the
22d district, werevery much worked
up over a sad affair which occurred
there Tuesday. The facts as we
are able to gather them are about
as follows: Early that morning a
strange negro entered the house of
jim Cavenall, who lives a short
distance north of the tank, and Or
dered his wife to give him his
breakfast. Mrs. Cavenall told him
she had no breakfast to give him,
as there was nothing cooked. He
cursed her, drew his pistol and told
her he would kill her if she did not
prepare the meal at once. Mrs.
Cavenall left the room under the
pretense to prepare his breakfast,
but went to the field to tell her
husband, who was at work.
In her absence, the negro fear
ing trouble, left. The neighbors
were notified of what had occurred
and a posse, of determined men
armed themselves and started out
on hunt of the negro. Not know
ing the direction he went, they
took different routes, and about
one hour from the time he left the
house a freight train stopped at
the tank for water. Several of the
men took charge of the train, told
the crew what was on hand and
demanded that the train should be
stopped if the negro was overtaken.
At OWNS Switch a negro was dis
covered walking down the road at
a rapid rate, The train was stop
ped, and as the armed men COM
menced getting off the train the
negro saw them and broke to the
woods, but he was overtaken and
shot down. Several shots were
fired, killing him instantly. The
crowd left Immediately, leaving
him lying on the ground, and at
lastaccountshe hadnotb eenmoved.

Street Improvsments.

The fact that all the members OF the city
council favor street improvements gives
very general satisfaction. The people Of
the city want the streets improved. and
they will sustain the council In improving
them. The members OF the council may
not agree as to the streets which should be
paved first. but as long as they adhere to
the policy Of doing as much street paving
as the city's finances will permit they will
have the support Of the public.
There is pressing need for paved streets
on the eastern aud western sides OF the city.
East Broad street, for instance, should be
paved not only TO Henry street, but, also,
20 Anderson street, and it should be opened
to the southern limits of the city. West
Broad street should be paved also to Ander-
son street.
No one who has noticed how difficult It is
for horses to drag loaded trucks and drays,
and even delivery wagons, through the
deep sand Of the unpaved streets will deny
the necessity for pushing forward the work
OF improving the streets as rapidly as
possible
Some Of the councilmen seem to think
that it would be advisable to delay the paw
ing Of Bull street from Harris street TO
CASTOR for awhile in order that streets used
for business purposes may be paved at once.
But would it not be better to make a special
| effort to pave Bull street at oncel Is it not

Reasons why &c will Remamher

Officer G. o. White has lately been put on
the Twenty-sixth street beat, which includes
Puyallup avenue, according to the Tacoma
NeWS.
White is fearless officer, and the other
night, as he was making his beat along
Puyallup avenue in a deep shade close to the
side Of a building, he deserted the form
of what he supposed to be hobo taking q
snooze
OF course that would never do, so with n pre-
liminary whirl of his club, a little cough and a
perceptlble Tightening of his stature he ap.
preached the hobo.
Come alang out o. that meow, will oo?" he
exclaimed.
The hobo moved not so much as a muscle,
"D'ye hear nef | sayed come alang out O.
thot, will 90? Yez won't, Ell? aWull, I'll show
yez."
With that White grabbed the supposed hobo
by the back Of the neck. There was a short
preliminary growl, the canking of a chain. and
then the fur fairly few.
IL was the pet black bear of the Union Club
saloon that White had awakened
For about twenty-five minutes there was
about the livest scrapping match that has ever
been known in the police circles of Tacoma,
and when White got out of reach of the cub he
was minus of a brand-new macintosh, a S5-hat

he was plus numerous wounds and scratches
bruises and black spots.

Don't Intend to Be Dominated.
From the Chtcado Times DENY.

There is a suspicion current In political circles
that the new democratic senators-Hill Palmer
and VLaS-do not propose to be bound by the
straight Jackets of frstian which envelop new
members of the upper house in the national
legislature, but will make themselves heard
during the first session. Suoh a course will no
doubt scandalze the venerable barpacles who
have sat year after year in the Senate chamber
allowing such oracies as Sherman, Hoar or
Evarts to dominate the debates. New blood
and new ideas win do the Senate good. and that
is what the democracy has sent some Of its
brightest minds bhither for.
