SENT IN MAIL TO KILL
Woman Plots Physicians Death BY
Sending Him Deadly Tarantula.

CHICAGO, Sept, 19.-With the in
tention of poisoning him by the bite
of one Of the most venomous tropical
insects, a tarantula, woman sent this
deadly insect through the mails yes
terday to DR.. Thomas NJ. Powell, 1915
Milwaukee avenue
1t was only by strange thread of
circumstances that the deadly spider
was discovered and the plot disclosed.
The package burst open, and the box
pierced by air holes, was so badly torn
that one of the limbs Of the monster
protruded, causing "a panic in the re-
ceiving room of the postoffice. Clerks
shrieked and flew about in panic
and after the hairy spider had es
capped, they finally managed to cap
ture and cage it.
From investigation made by the
postal authorities it is said that the
tarantula was mailed at one of the
subpostal stations in Chicago. DR.
Powell said last night that he did not
know anybody who would TRIP to injure
him in such a manner.

Received No Encouragement

The plan did not appeal to Olympia,
however, and Judge CARROTS request
that the town put up $4,000 as an ev-
idence of good will was received with
more or less derisiOn.
In the meantime the promoters had
undoubtedly paid out considerable
money for options and farm property
in the vicinity of the townsite took on
city lot valuations. There was quite a
little activity on the townsite for a
time. but if present tales are true this
part of the scheme did not cost the
promoters any money.
The options taken by the promoters
have now lapsed. Forty acres at the
point comprise all the land actually in
possession of the promoters or their
agents at this time, and an effort is
now being made to recover that.
If Mr.. Rowland refuses to vacate
within twenty days. a writ of restitu-
ton will be applied for and if issued
will empower the sheriff to GUST the
engineer within three days thereafter.

cover the property.
The townsite promoters last spring
drove a number of piles at the point,
slaShed several acres of timber and
laid out streets and city blocks, but
for the last few months the place has
been deserted except for the occu-
pancy of the old Dofflemeyer home
stead by O. @. Rowland, who was en-
ployed as chief engineer of the COM
pany. 1t is said that Rowland has re-
been holding onto the property in the
hope of realizing something that way.
1t is also said that lately he has been
besieged by men he had employed on
instructions from the company, VINO
want their pay and have failed to get
it from the promoters of the TOWNSHIP
Held Option Only.
1t seems that the Carroll Investment
company had only an option on the
land. At any rate, a formal notice was
prepared yesterday ordering Rowland
to vacate and was served by Sheriff
McClarty.
The tOwnsite at Doftlemeyer's point
was given a great deal of attention by
the state papers early in the year.
Judge P. p. Carroll was the leading
light in the enterprise. 1t was reported
that he was backed by the Hartman
railroad interests and that the town
would be the Puget Sound terminus of
the Hartman lines. The town was by
common consent dubbed 'Harriman.'
After the surveys had been in prog
ress for some time and when a pile
driver was at work at the point, Judge
Carroll appeared before the Olympia
chamber of commerce and outlined
some of his plans. He first made vague
references to negotiations held be-
tween himself and ]. Pierpont Morgan
and then branched out into glowing
account of how it was proposed to line
the east short of Budds inlet nom
Olympia to Doff1emeyer's point with
one continuous city. Water was to be
piped from Summit lake eighteen miles
away. Electric railways were to be
built stone breakwaters and quays
were to be erected at the point. One of
the first enterprises was to be a ce
ment block factory manufacturing
blocks out of the soil of that portion
of Thurston county. All these build
ings in the new town were to be erect
ed from these blocks, and no wooden
buildings would be allowed. Streets
were to be paved, mills built and rail-
road terminals prepared.

A PLEA FOR RANDOLPH
MEMBERS OF GRAND JURY ASK FOR
 HIS DISMISSAL.
U1even Jurors eent Paper to JudEe Thomas Hecommending That EnabesxIement Cases to
 Come Up Tomorrow
 Be NeI Brossed.

It developed yesterday that eleven members of the Montgomery County grand jury which adjourned Saturday sent to Judge W. H. Thomas and So- lioitor s. H. Dent paper recommend ing that the thirteen cases of embez- element against Francis C. Randolph. formerly Probate Judge of this county. be mol pressed.
 The cases against Judge Randolph are set for trial in the City Court tomor- row, they having been continued at the last term of court by Solicitor Dent, notwithstanding the defendant was ready for trial
 It will be remembered that majority of the grand jury at the July term openly read q petition to the court re- commenting dismissal of the cases against Judge Randolph and that Judge Thomas manifested his disapprovaf> Of this action on the part of the grand jurors.
 The members of the last grand jury signing the recommendation were more informal in their suggestion. The pa- per was not read in open court NO mention of it was made by the clerk or the officials of the court at the time the grand jury report was given to re- porters. Indeed, one member of the grand jury, who did not sign the re- commendation, protested against the paper being referred to as "a supple mental report of the grand jury He said 1t was only the expression of cer- tain members of the jury and was not a supplemental report.
 Those of the grand jury who signed the recommendation were: Remington McCree, J. J. Johnson. J. M. Thornton. w. A. Henderson. W. A. Guy. H. Mur- rell. E. P. Amerine. W. J. Futile, O. c. Blackburn, J. W. Kelly. John W. Un- derwood.
 There were eighteen members of the grand jury.
