The speculative spirit is indeed rife
when a convict with 4 long term to
serve is enabled to organize pull
whereby he may secure his liberty To-
enable him To head Il party OF sol =
seekers and pilot them to Il ledge OF
r"putcd marvellous richness, whO'e
location is only known to himself.
| An additional incentive for the friends
who worked the scheme may have
been the claim of a cnchc of SNUG

/ The Wizard Oil Company appear at
| Olympia Theatrr, Monday evening,
with an entire change OF personnel. 1t
Is Il new company with the exception
of Mr.. Gallagher, the manager, and
his amiablc wife, who acts rs his as
Sistant. Beautiful presents will be
given away each evening, and the
price of admission is nominal. The
object of the company is not to sell a
standard remedy, but to advertise its
merits, and the medical talk is but
an incident of very pleasing per-
formance. The company will remain
here all the week.
David Burroughs, who was manag-
ing cut off saw in the Westside mill,
met with aserious accident about
o'clock last evening. 1t seems that
his left hand came inadvertently in
contact with the rapidly revolving
saw, which cut the first and second
fingers off and badly mangled the
thumb and third finger. DR.. Redpath
attended to the wounded member, and
the victim will soon be as we'll as Il
man can be minus pair of fingers.
Mr.. b. is a late arrival from Iowa, and
it is probably owing to his inexpcr-
fence with mill machinery that the
accident occurred.
A hot-headed Spaniard attempted
last Friday the same Quixotic en-.
deavor his government has essaycd-to
whip America-and with about the
same result. He was around town all
the afternoon with chip on his
shoulder, and it was probably his
diminative size that kept people from
knocking it off. In the evening hav-
ing imbibed considerable additional
courage in the shape of stimulants, he
drew knife and made an assault
upon Frank Scott, a logger, who with
n single shot from his powerful main
battery laid the Spaniard hors du COM
bat on the floor. Policeman Morrell
then appeared upon the scene and
took the dismantled hulk to his
Moro Castle.
Edward Carney, young man OF in
dustry and promise was shot and
killed by May Williams, fallen wo-
man, at Shelton, Sunday morning.
Five shots were fired, four taking ef-
feet. either of which would have oc-
casioned death. The tragedy occurred
in the tloat-house occupied by the wo-
man. At preliminary examination
held Monday, Carney was able to
testify just before death ended his
career on earth. The woman and
Ben Simmons, who was with her when
the shooting took place, were bound
over to answer for the crime. De.

living in this city, and sister each
i'll Seattle and Spokane. He was
generally we'll liked by his compan-
ions, and it is difficult to imagine the
animus which prompted the horrible
deed. The remains Of the unfortu-
nate man were inferred Tuesday after
noon. the funeral service being held at
Bates Bros undertaking rooms.
The little evening paper suspended
publication Monday alleging as a
cause failure to secure paper and the
seeming impossibility to secure q good
delivery boy" These are weighty
reasons, to be sure, and were doubtless
insurmOuntable to the management.
The inevitable result of forcing
another paper in field already fully
occupied was evident to everybody
except the projectors of the Journal,
and their experience, if it has not
convinced, has at least brought them
to realizing sense that people are
not Tipping up dollars with an in.
definite idea of some return of value.
If Mr.. Cline had reposed on his hon.
ors as Speaker, it would have been
we'll, and his unfitness for new call
ing would not have been the subject OF
practical demonstration. Alexander
