Ms. W. y. liortrn's residence on
Flum street was entered on the 2Sth
ult. 10y some burglar and gold watch
and ten dollars in money distracted
from bureau drawer, during the
temporary absence of Mrs. II. The
matter was kept secret doubtless IN.
der the very general popular delusion
that still hunt is the most effective,
probably on the theory that a vigor-
Gus search may cause the malefactor
to fly away, and the matter was not
reported to the police ill Saturday.
1t is hardly probable that either watch
or money will be recovered.
With the guard OF honor which ac-
companied the body of Jos. T. Bush,
the pioneer, who died at Orting, a few
days ago, was Urban f. Hicks, an old
time resident of this city, and about
forty years ago publisher of the
Washington Democrat, a paper Of con-
siderable circulation in this county
and the then Territory. He is now
IA years OF age, and an inmate of the
Orting Home, by virtue of his services
in the Indian war. Mr. H. had been
for many years resident of Orcas
Island, where he conducted q small
garden-farm, but being somewhat iso.
lated from the public and enfeebled by
age, he finally sought refuge in the
Home. He has two sons, DR.. Hicks,
the dentist of Tacoma, and Gwin
Hicks, late State Printer, of this
county.

1t seems that the steamer Grey
hound is having series of mishaps.
The other morning she came nigh
at her dock, while taking in
water. It seems that the Waterman
ran the 4-inch hose to the tanks
and after turning on a full flow of
water, laid down on his bunk for a
" cat-nap." He "missed stays" how
ever, and fell into profound slumber.
After the big stream of water had
replenished the tanks it Immediately
began filling the hull also. The water
arose until it had extinguished the
furnace fires, and the boat had begun
to settle as McGintie did to the bot
tom of the say" when Mr. Scott, one
OF the owners, came aboard and realiz.
ing at a glance the peril, hurriedly
shut off the water and called all hands
to pump ship. A still more serious
accident occurred Tuesday evening,
off Johnson's Point, about 6 AS O'Clock,
on her return from Tacoma. The
breaking Of her shaft totally disabled
the boat, and casting anchor, q wait |
was made for some passing steamer 10
afford relief. About 8 O'Clock the
Irene, on her trip to this place an
swered the signals OF distress and took
the Greyhound in tow, reaching Perci-
walls dock about IL o'clock. There
we're about twenty passengers aboard,
all Of whom took their chances with |
the ship, except Mrs. James A. Drain,
who was brought up in q row.boat by
the mate and arrived only . few mo-
ments before the delayed steamer. II
is said that repairs, which necessitate
the forging of new shaft, will take
about three weeks time, during which |
interval. the popular flyer will have to
suspend her excellent service
