Long Boycott Called Off.

Seattle, WASH, After walking a dis
lance of twelve miles each day for
eight years rather than pay nickel
carfare to the company he said had
robbed him of 20 cents, P. Peterson
had his claim adjusted and accepted a
free ride from his home in South Park
to this city.
During the eight years Peterson has
walked to the city cash morning and
returned each night. Although in good
circumstances, he refused to put his
foot on a street car His daughter
had been previously killed in a runa-
way, and he therefore refused to ride
in a carriage.
Eight years ago Peterson boarded a
Grant avenue car. He handed the
conductor a two-bit piece, and the lat
ter in his hurry, took it for nickel,
and despite Pederson's protests, re-
fused to return any change In fit
of spite, Peterson had the car stopped
and walked on to the city. Since then
he has walked every day rather than
pay carfare. Peterson, during the
eight years, walked 35,O40 miles. To
ride that distance he would have to
pay out $281.10.

hands, but instead he drew his Win

Newspaper headlines largely elimin-
ate articles. Will this affect our ian
guage so as to make it conform with
Latin, which had no articles? The song
says 1.-The Campbells are Coming" but
the headliner would say "Campbells
Are Coming" 1t is evident that clear
ness is sacrificed in this case to brevity.
But In many cases, articles can be elm
mated without injuring the sense.
The headliner and the telegram writer
continually practice the art of cutting
out articles. Will this habit gradually
influence the majority to do without ar
ticles? And will the language be i'm
proved by such change? Our forefath-
ers used to decline the article With
them 1t had gender and number as well
as case. The feminine of "the" was
''tha," and the neuter 'that" Long ago
English-speaking people declined to de-
cline "the," and 'the' man and "the''
woman have come to look alike, while
the same article is made to serve for
singular and plural. But the end of
"the" Is not yet. Possibly we shall al
ways have to use an occasional article.
The poets will certainly not give the
article up willingly. What kind of
poetry would telegram and headline
English make?

Headless Corpse Found.

PHOENIX (Ariz.,) Nov. 24.-News
has just been received here of the
finding of the headless body of a man
between the Coronado stage station
and Guthrie, Graham county. There
was a bullet hole in his side. The
head was found some distance from
the trunk. The remains were badly
decomposed, and it is thought the man
has been dead several weeks.
The officers believe the man was a
member of the gang of Mexicans who
killed w. T. Mcclellan and John Nc
Bride six weeks ago in their cabin, not
far from where the body was discov-
cred. 1t is though the robber was
either wounded in the fight at the
cabin and killed by escaping comrades
to relieve his suffering or was killed
and butchered in fight over the dis
tribution of the booty. The murderers
all probably belong to the gang led by
Chacon who have a rendezvous in the
Blue river country. One has since
been captured and sentenced to twenty
years.
Mcclellan was a California man.
Mcbride was from Arizona.
