A Tacoma Story That Has Somewhat Doubt
ful Sound.


TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 20.-The Ledger
prints the following story from its cor
respondent at Mount Vernon, Wash.
Frank Quimby, w. r. Lucas and j.
E. Moody, all of Mount Vernon, have
returned from weeks outing at Cavanaugh
Lake. and tell sensational story Of the
possible death in the mountains OF six
teen-year-old girl named Hattie King. whose
home is in Seattle. Last Tuesday after
noon as the three gentlemen were returning
from the lake they stopped at the claim of a
man named Wits, but found the cabin de-
serted. Mr.. Quimby noticed a piece Of
brown wrapping paper sticking under the
cabin door, and drew it out. On the sheet,
written with pencil in scrawling, femi-
nine hand was the following note:
/ do not know the day of the week, but think
the month Is September. / found this cabin
three days ago, and until that time had nothing
but WHO berries to eat for five days. 1 have re-
manned here, hoping some one would come and
rescue me. / will leave to-day and try TO find
the railroad, for believe that 1 heard ocomo-
tive whistle an hour ago. and 1t could not have
been more than two or three miles from here.
What food found here that did not eat have
taken with me, and II ever find my way out of
blue jumper hanging behind the door l have
taken and will wear. for my dress Is In tatters
and in mans attire can better make my way
through the woods. With my mother and father
l came to MoniboTne from Seattle and while
berryng In the woods lost my way and have
kept on walking ever since. L guess
they think | am dead. l don't know
how / have ever lived through 1t all l

HATTIE KING.
The writing was dim, showing that it
must have been written some time. The
country in that Vicinity is unsurveyed and
the only outlet to the few settlers is by trail
to Montborne and McMurray there being
no roads. The road back of the cabin led
to Mon tborne, and this the party took, but
they did not ind the lost girl. 1t is proba-
Bile that she was either devoured by wild
animals. or, wandering off the TT all, per-
shed from exhaustion.

PASSING THE vI,E-pREsIDENT.

The Veterans salute the Distinguished
Guests at the Reviewing-stand.
WASHINGTON, Sept 20.-The scene from
the Vlce-Presldent's reviewing-stand during
the parade was an extremely exhilarating
one. All the capacious public stands were
filed to OVERLOOKING, and apparently every
available foot OF space from which view
could be hal was occupied. The great
crowd was an enthusiastic one and cheered
the old soldiers again and again.
Vice-President Morton arrived about 10
O'clock, accompanied By Secretary and Mrs.
Charles Foster and daughter. Attorney
General Miller. Secretary and Mrs Noble
and the Misses Hastead, Mrs. Rusk and
daughter, Secretary Tracy and daughter.
Mrs. Wilmerdng. Mrs. John w. Foster and

gan and Mrs. John A. Logan.
1t was nearly IL O'Clock when the column,
headed by the citizens local committee,
mounted, turned into Fifteenth street under
the reviewing stand, and from that time
there was hardly break in the lines. The
Vice. President stood at the front of the
platform and as the various departments
dipped their colors in passing he returned
the salute by lifting his hat.
General Palmer, the commander-in-chief,
was heartily cheered as he passed. and also

Upward Of $4,000 Veterans Parade in
Washington.
RETIEWED By THE VICE-PRESIDENT.
Pennsylvania Avenue ReSOunds With the Martial
Tread Of Brave Interesting Features
Of the Procession.
Special to The MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON. Sept 20.-The feature In
ro-day's proceedings of the Grand Army
reunion was the parade of the veterans. In
the early morning the weather was mild
and hazy, and later the sun came out, she'd
ding genial warmth. but the sky soon
cIouded over again. and cold wind made
il uncomfortable in exposed places.
The hour set for starting the parade was
$50 o'clock. and long before that time great
crowds had lined up against the wire cables
stretching outward along the sides of broad
Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol
buildings.
The various veteran posts formed at their
headquarters and marched TO the positions
assigned them on the diagonal streets on
each side of Pennsylvania avenue, begin
ming at the west front OF the Capitol. The
Illinois posts, coming from the State in
which the order first originated, had the
place of honor at the head of the line. next
the general officers, and the Wisconsin posts
came second.
So in due order, through dense lanes Of
thousands Of people who lined the pave
ments and side streets, past buildings law
ishly decorated with fluttering banners, fes-
TONED with flags and streamers, cheered on
by the fresh voices OF hundreds of school
children singing patriotic airs, the griZZled
veterans, who twenty-seven years ago occu-
pied two days in passing in review along
this grand national avenue, moved to-day
with thlnned ranks, whose numbers did not
preclude the completion OF the journey
within a single day.
Then over the rough cObble-stones they
marched as members of the greatest OF mod
ern armies tired, dusty, tTavel.staned.
War-woTn, but with fierce exultation and
pride born of the knowledge OF their deeds
and accomplishments. To-day, over the
smooth asphalt pavement, they marched
again, still proud that they had been men,
bers of that great army but in the years
which have thnned their ranks the fierce
war spirit has died away and left little BE-
hind but feelings Of JOY and goodwill to all
men.
In their grizzled locks and reminiscent
faces one could read recognition Of the fact
that It was the last time that many OF them
would see the national capitol. SO 1t was
they decided 10 make the parade the great
est feature of the encampmenr, knowing it
was coincidence which could never be re-
peated.
On the lawn adjoining the south wing Of
| the treasury building, on a large covered
| stand, named in honor OF Lincoln, were
| placed 500 schoolgirls, so arranged In red,
white and blue dresses as to produce the
| living star-spapged banner.
Further down, near the Central Market,
| the colOred schoolgirls were massed together
| on stand, with melOdious voices blending
| tremendously in grand chorus as the old
| soldiers marched past.
