JoHNsoN's PISTOL Is FOUND.
He Had Borrowed 1t to shoot Dog
His Unsayory Record.

Frank Johnson, alias William Barrett,
who attempted to murder Miss Daisy VIII
son on Friday night, still maintains that
he is innocent. but damaging evidence
continues to accumulate against him. The
revolver with which he did the shooting
was found yesterday morning. II was a

and belonged 70 r. r. Beckworth, day
barkeeper for the Rainier-Grand.
BeckWorth lives several doors from john
sons cabin and on Thursday Johnson call
ed at The house while Beckworth was at
work and asked Mrs. Beckworth 10 lend
him her husbands revolver. saying that he
wanted 10 Kill his dog. Upon this plea
the gun was given him, He returned 1t
the same night with all the shells in ii.
When he handed II TO, Mrs. Beckworth,
there were tears in his eyes and he said
he did not have the heart TO kill the dog.
The next afternoon, Friday. he called
again and asked for the gun. saying he
had fully made mp his mind 10 kill the
dog. Mrs. Beckworth brought the pistol
out again. and somewhere between 7:l5
and 7i5 while Mr.. and Mrs Beckworth
were at dinner. Johnson returned the gun
and hurried off Two shells were gone al
together and three were empty. Mr..
Beckworth feels positive that Johnson bor-
Towed the gun the first day to shoot Miss
Wilson. but his plans failed, and he Te-
turned the next day and carried them out.
He describes Johnson as a qudrTelsome
fellow without principle

FOOTBALL OUTLOOK Is GOOD.
Three Local Teams VIII Insure strong
PLAY for the Guardianship.

The coming football season promises 10
be the most successful In the history of
the sport in the Northwest. Heretofore
the lack of opponents near by and the
necessity of travelling a distance for each
game has eaten up all the profits. This
year. however. Seattle will have three
good teams.
The S. A. c. with it's experienced men
will probably be the leader in the fight
and is confidently expected to hold the
vell-earned Northwestern championship.
Next in order comes the University
team. as usual an unknown quantity be-
cause OF. the number Of strong new men
who enter the University this year. and
because of the increase of interest in gen.
eral athletics under Prof. Van Derveer.
The season opened on Thursday with an
assembly Of the candidates for places on
the team in the gymnasium. The team

been prepared.

Much quiet work has been done the past
two weeks. and good material has been
discovered. Lewis and Blaine, who have
played on the s a. G. team for two or
three seasons, will appear with the Y. II.

number of other good heavy men will

secured from such men as Blaine. Leath-
er. Lewis. Hills, Howell, Bushell and
others. Candidates for positions back Of
the line are not so numerous. but many
good men are coming forward as candi-
dates and good set OF backs can he pick
ed from among them.
The arrangements at the park for light
ing the grounds by electricity viii enable
the team 10 practice at night. thus al
