CAPTAIN HAWTHORNE'S ARTILLERY
WINS BATTLE FOR THE BLUES

AS the Blues advanced into the
plain, the Brown line developed fan
away to the right, and few minutes
later the line appeared over the crest
Of hill immediately In front.
The Blue firing line opened up on
the Browns hot and heavy. lIamiIv
tons men poured volleys into the
oregons that were deadly On the
left the Nineteenth and the Idahos
were having fight that made the
woods resound. On the extreme right
two Brown companies assembled and.
with rifles crossed behind their backs,
retired to the rear, out Of action
from the effects OF the terrific fire of
the Washingtons.
Battery Gets In Action.
Suddenly, with rattle, clash and
clang Hawthornes guns swung down
from the woods, swept down The hill
and into position at the bottom or a
little swale. In their perfectly pro-
tected position at the bottom of the
swale the guns we're unlimbered and
the first shot fired before the horses
had time to turn and dash away up
the slope as madly as they had come.
The battery opened on the left Of
Huston's line, where were the ldahos
in the edge Of the woods. The on
coming line Of Brown skirmishers
halted and sought what cover It
could find Then It quivered, and a
moment later srumpled and fell back.
The Oregons on the right were left
alone in the field, and the Browns
defeated, the recall was seconded.
with all the Blue infantry fire con-
centrated on the few Idahos on the
extreme left and the Oregons on the
right, and Hawthorne turning his att
tention to Kenly's guns back In the
woods. The entire Idaho regiment
was ruled out of action.

Decision Protects Complainant.
Good Thing for Tacoma.

It is the opinion of railroad men
that the present status of the rail-
road situation is decidedly favorable
to Tacoma. If the injunction is made
permanent, and there is every reason
to believe that it will be, the Union
Pacific will have trackage rights over
the Northern Pacific lines, something
that has been eagerly sought for by
the former road. That would bring
the Union Pacific to Tacoma, and al

Seattle, for $4,000. Quite a large
number of Tacoma and Seattle bust
ness men were in attendance but the
bids were slow and everything was
sold at a sacrifice. The feeling that
the sales would not be confirmed by
the court had the effect of decreas-
ing the interest of the sale. About
$4,000 will be realized from the
sales if they are allowed to stand.
The 160-acre timber tract located
near Buckley was purchased by Mr..
Rabel for S110, and three lots in
one of Seattle's additions were sold
at So each. The machinery and the
other furnishings were sold in small
lots to Tacoma bidders. The sale
