In street quarrel at Port Angeles
last Monday, l.. ii. Mchaily, City

Gatchett ten times with a pocket
knife. Gatchett was not seriously

While working near rapidly re-
volvlng steam circular saw, at Ia
coma, Wednesday, John Conner
reached down close to the saw for Il
slab. While i'll Il stopping position
his foot slipped and he fell against the
saw. A portion of the scalp was torn
from his head, and several splinters
were knocked from his skull. His
right arm came in contact with the
saw and was badly lacerated. Con-
ner was removed to the Fannie Pad
dock hospital. His injuries are not
necessarily fatal.
A man calling himself Wood has
fleeced the poor lambs about Gle
Elum out of nearly 81 900 in about n
fortnight of exertion. He obtained
from the North Yakima Land office
sufficient data regarding lands upon
which to establish his bearings and
begin operations. He then went to
Cle-Elum and represented himself as
an agent for an Eastern lumber COM
pany which desired to purchase a
large tract of timber land. He said he
was authorized to pay as high as $500
for certain quarter sections. Then
the gudgeons began to bite, but had
to put up 1925 for the privilege, and lie
soon had string of 40 or more.
When the victims appeared to make
their filings the accommodating gen.
tleman who was to furnish the money
for purchase did not turn up, and
they found out they had been duped.
AS they had deliberately entered iuto
a conspiracy to sell their birthrights,
they do not receive the sympathy,
however, that fair proceeding would
have invoked.

Col. FIFE HAS TROUBLES OF HIS
OwN.-Late letters from Manila state
that Col. File, of Tacoma, had got into
difficulty and was under arrest for
some breach of military discipline,
One version is that he and q boon
companion were on prolonged spree
aboard the Valencia, ON the way over
and another is that he and the same
officer had gone without leave within
the insurgent lines and were detained
An unreasonable length of time. In
either event, the trouble seems to have
originated in a disposition to "sow
wild OATS" an occupation which the
many friends of the Colonel though,
he had completed before entering @
service exacting strict discipline.

that he had bit off more than he could
chew, and the other day the docket
