Body-Mysrery Of tho Bundle.
Still the Holgste mystery remains IN.
solved. Etratton, Lewis & Gilman still
have the young woman's will in their pos
session and will not open It until the ar
rival Of her parents from South Dakota.
Mr.. Gilman stated last night that they
would be here the latter part Of this week.
Diver o. A. Benjamin has been engaged
to dive for the body. He went out to the
lake yesterday morning and again early in
the afternoon, but decided it was too
cloudy for descent to be of any benefit.
If the weather is at all clear he will 60
down this morning.
A POsr-INTELIIGENcER reporter visited
the lake again yesterday, but there were
no searching parties at work. Several
young people, some of them friends Of
Miss Holgate, visited the vicinity of the
supposed drowning during the afternoon
out of curiosity. Two young ladies about
3 O'Clock took . boat at Bartlett's boat
house and rowed about the bay in front Of
the Lewis cottage.
Wallace Barnes, boat keeper at Bart
let's, who rented Miss Holgate the boat
in which she started out on Wednesday
evening, May 3. and which was afterward
found near tho Lewis camp, yesterday
talked about tho case to Posr-lNrELLI-
GENCEB reporter. He 10 of the opinion
that the girl is not drowned, but that she
has been either foully dealt with or has
gone away of her own free will. Said he:
miss Holgate was very DESTROYS of tax

ready to start picked it up and said:
Don't you want to leave this in the office
while you are gonef' She replied: No.

but she again replied: No; I will take it
along So said no more about the mat

/" BLUE FRONT" FIRE.
Two Arrests for Arson Follow A
Brothers Quarrel.
THE PROPRIETOR A PRISONER.
Sohn Bryant and ssUnele Dicks Rosman
charged With Ririsg the Negro
saloon and Dive.

John Bryant, Otherwise known a.
Bryan. goodlooking and sportily in
ciined young negro, who runs the Blue
Front saloon on King street. and Richard
n. koeman. better known As 'Old Uncle
Oick, also negro. were arrested on war;
rants last evening by Officer A. A. Osborn
ana Constable Terry King charged with
arson.
At O'Clock on the morning of April 4
nre broke out under peculiar circumstances
IN the Blue Front saloon. John and w.
II. Bryant were running the place in part
nership at the time. The insurance policy
OF $l,OO in the Springfield company.
biodgett & Co., agents. was to expire in .
lew weeks time. The demijohns behind
the bar were nearly all empty. Fire had
been started with kerosene in various
places. The fire department reached the
scene In time to prevent q serious conflag-
ration. and the loss was confined to 500.
J. A. White. who slept in q room over tho
saloon, narrowly escaped asphy xiation BY
smoke, however. The insurance com.
pany settled with the Bryants by fixing
up the place.
several detectives were put on the case
to look it up. Officer Osborn, whose beat
is In front of the saloon, went quietly to
work, with the result that yesterday he
got W. H. Bryant, Johns brother and
former partner, to swear to the warrants.
Officer Osborn will not talk on the case ex-
cept to assert that he is absolutely sure
he has enough evidence to convict The
men will probably be given . hearing to-
day before Justice Caldwell.
1t is understood the prosecution will at
tempt to prove that John Bryant. in order
to get the insurance, bribed "Old Uncle
Dick" hanger-on and general roust-
about at the saloon, to set the place afire,
giving him 500 for the job.
When the two men were taken to the
saloon last evening they were accom-
panied by several other coiNred people.
Bryant protested his innocence and upon
learning who had sworn to the warrant
against him wanted to swear out one in
return charging w. H. Bryant, his brother
and the complainant. with the crime.
Inquiry At the saloon developed the fact
that since the fire John Bryant has been
employing w. H. Bryant to run the place.
About two weeks ago John assumed the
management himself and w. H. was dis
charged by him. 1t is said that the
brothers then had difficulty about the
money due w. H., who claimed that John
had not paid him in full.
The Blue Front is about the most no.
torious saloon in the Blackchapel district.
1t is sometimes known as ''The Bucket Of
Blood"

Brought to the CITY.

Brought to the City.
A one-fourth interest IN the water power
Of Cedar river falls appropriated by W. w.
Howard has been sold to II. F. Whitney.
and he says he proposes to use it for manu-
featuring and ultimately for transmitting
electric power to the city.
The power appropriated is that of 1900
cubic feet per second in the two falls and
the rivers course between them. The
upper fall 10 about three miles below Cedsf
lake. and each fall is about 100 feet high,
while the fall in the quarter Of . milo OF
the rivers course between them makes up
another 100 feet, 30 that there will be an
aggregate of 800 feet. This. it is claimed.
will give q larger power than SnoqualmIe
falls.
It Is proposed FIRST to use the power to
operate shingie and sawmill at each fall.
as the appropriations Of the falls have To-
Gated 600 acres of timber in the vicinity,
and there Is about 15,O acres tributary.
When Mr.. Whitney and his associates can
find market for 10. 900 horse power in Sc
attic, Tacoma and the adjacent country.
they contemplate putting in dynamos and
transmitting the electric power. The dis
lance from the foot of the lower falls to
Seattle is thir.y-five miles in . Decline.
and there is a population of nearly 15o, 900
in the territory through which the power
could be distributed.
The country around the falls Is thickly
settled, and township %. which will be
opened on Friday, is completely settled.
One claim has six timber claimants and q
homesteader, and some hot contests may
be expected. There is considerable min
ing excitement on the lake, and valuable
discoveries Of gold and silver deposits arc
reported.

TO maNDAMUs THE ASSESSOR.


CITY Omcials Trying to Dictsts to the
County Omcers.
Az foretold by the Posr-INrELLIeKScER
a alternative writ of mandamns was
ured upon County Assessor Abrahams
Yesterday to compel him to make out the
assessment roll for city property in man.
pe. different from that hitherto followed
by him in making up the roll for county
purposes.
The writ was sued out BY Acting Mayor
Lander Miller, and alleges that the special
aw passed last winter abolishing the Office
Of city assessor and devolving that Office
spcn the county assessor. requires him to
make up the roll of city property in 40
compact form as possible, and not only
this, but that whenever by reason of
. change in the boundaries Of such city
or otherwise the rate of taxation in such
city is required to differ in different dis
.nets thereof, to segregate the real and
PERSONAL property in each district for the
purpose of taxation in such manner that
the real and personal property in each
district shall be segregated for the purpose
Of taxation. He says that by reason of a
change in the boundaries of the city there
u. two such districts. and that the county
assessor refuses to make the roll out as re-
CURED by law. and that If he persists in
bis refusal the city will suffer great dam
ags thereby. The effect Of pursuing tho
method suggested would be to cause tho
assessor to make out three separate rolls
Instead Of one continuous roll, as is re-
|quired by the general revenue law. and
|shich Mr.. Abrahams says is equally ap-
|FjeabIe in the present case. he holding .
different view Of the law from Corporation
|l0rnsel Donworth.
The writ was made returnable yesterday
rrnoon, but owing to the lateness Of the
asar the bearing was continued by Judge
,mgley until 3 O'Clock this afternoon.
