SUICIDE BY NICOTINE.
Daily's WOuld-Be Murderer's
Remarkable Death.
Daily Only saved His Life By Plsying
'Possum-Wsllaee Comnits Suicide,
Fearing the Gallews.

L. n. Bowman, of Leavenworth. arrived
in the city yesterday with Information
which leads to the belief that Wallace, the
man who attacked Comm,ssary Daily. of
the Great Northern railroad, with a
hammer At Skykomish last Tuesday and
who died in commissions near Snohomish
Thursday night, really committed suicide
in most remarkable manner.
Wallace was q Great Northern gang
foreman, well liked and gentlemanly, when
himself For three weeks he had been on
spree and, as is generally the case under
such circumstances, lived on nothing but
whisky. When delirium tremens came
on him he was afraid to go home and 90
to bed, 80 Daily, the comissary, took him
to his car. Daily had gone to sleep when
Wallace, becoming possessed with the
idea that two men were seeking his life,
spraug up and, seixing . hammer by the
head. jumped ON Daily. The first blow
awoke Daily and he attempted to arise,
but Wallace hit him az ain. cutting the
scalp and rendering him almost uncon-
scious. Wallace sat astride Of Daily 3
body for four hours and it is calculated
that during that time he hi: Daily ten
times.
At last Daily came to the conclusion
that the only way to save his life was to
play 'possum until the opportunity came
for making break for liberty. This plan
he carried out. and, as stated in previous
dispatches, Wallace was captured at the
hotel and placed in care of Constable
Casey. of Martin Creek. Instructions were
then given by the county officials to bring
him to Seattle and place him in the county
jail, pending hearing on the charge of
assault with deadly weapon.
When tho train was nearing Snohomish
Thursday Wallace asked the constable to
kill him. He believed that he had killed
one man. wounded another and would be
hanged for his crime. The constable did
not see fit to carry the prisoners wishes
into execution, and for time could not
understand why Wallace was so quiet.
The explanation came in q short time.
give me . chew of Tobacco" said
Wallace.
Some one in the seat in the rear COM
piled with the request, and Wallace, cut
ting of large piece, put it in his mouth.
Then he worked it around until the saliva
had thoroughly saturated the leaves. This
was the beginning of his plan. Those
who were looking at him noticed that he
suddenly commenced to chew like q
threshing machine and swallow rapidly.
The alarm was given, and in a few seconds
Wallace was in tho grasp of strong men.
They tried to make him spit out the to-
bacco. He only shut his teeth like wise
and swallowed the faster. An attempt
was made to open his mouth. but he
clapped both hands over his face and
shook his head violently.
As il by magic, the nicotine acted on
his empty stomach and threw him into
commissions. The struggle lasted five
minutes, and he was dead. The remains
were taken of the train at 6nohomish
and buried there.

OLYMPIC AVENUE HILL.
An Agreement Of Property Owners {
Lower the Grade.

Lower the Grade.
The subject of cutting down the hill on
Olympic avenue for the purpose of making
a straight and more level highway was
discussed last night by resident property
owners. William Phillips again threw
open his hospitab!e parlors to his neigh
bors. Lee b. Hart. as chairman OF the
committee appointed at the previous meet
ing, reported that the committee had as
certained what steps should be taken. In
response to his cali. Corporation Counsel
Donworth attended and explained the
operation of the new law of eminent
domain.
1t transpired that Senator kinnear was
opposed To the re-grade, as he thought ii
would damage the block uron which his
residence stands. but the opinion was ex-
pressed that if other property-owners
would make concessions for the general
good. he would not be obstinate. 1t was
decided 10 agree 10 grade which should
be least detrimental TO Mr.. kinnear's
property. but there was no abatement in
the enthusiasm.
Superintendent Schwagerl, OF the park
department, was also present with plans
aud sketches, and he pointed out the ma
terisl benefit which would certainly fol
low the adoption of the proposed grade.
The committee was continued with In
structions 10 take the initial sieps.

went to Lamar last Saturday as del

they found portion Of the Septem-
Der independent convention reassem-
bled listening to an old man delivering
few passages from Rienzi's address
to the Romans ani going through
the farce Of endorsing the indepen
dent ticket. This gathering they
learned was the Blodgett populists.
Being finally ushered into a small
room they found small assembly OF
alleged democrats adiourning every
few minutes to consult with the
Blodgett gathering and finally going
through the same farce of endorsing
the independent ticket. The boys
came home believing that all the
democracy in Lamarcould be crowded
into the left eye Of mosquito with

About two weeks ago Phillip Sarah
living near Prowers station heard a
shot close to his house shortly after
daylight, and soon after two men
came from that direction. Their
hands showed that they bad been
dressing some big game and Mr..
Sarah, his curiosity aroused. went
to Investigate. He found within 200
yards of the house fine buck deer
hanging in tree. Putting it upon
his back he carried it to his house
He started in the direction taken by
the men and soon heard another shot.
Following along he found another
deer, doe, also dressed and hung

but, it was too heavy, and he was
forced to use a horse and cart. Late
in the afternoon the hunters very

informed them where their venision
was, that they were tresspassers and
could consider themselves in luck in
