most important subject. Spanish objac

 The remains were taken to the under taking establishment of Green & Co.,, where they will be held until Coroner Paris holds an inquest. This will prob ably be this morning at 10 o'clock
 It seems that the two boys were play ing together with small calbre rifles, not realizing that they were loaded. Finally his little friend pointed one at Beavers and pulled the trigger The gun was loaded and the bullet entered the boy s eye.
 The remains will probably be inferred in Elm Leaf cemetery tomorrow after noon If the coroner has completed his in- vestigation by that time. The mother of City by long distance telephone of the boys death and she will probably arrive in Birmingham today.

WOMEN FIRE AT
 WHITE INTRUDER
MRS. LULU JONES AND HER DAUGHTER HAVE AN EXCITING ExPERIENCE-DAU FIRES ONCE AND MOTHER, TWICE.

Mrs. Lula Jones and her daughter, who live at 1700 Fourth avenue, had an ex- citing experience last night about o'clock with a white man whom they both shot at. They discovered the man hanging around the house and he ran away. Later the mother and daughter went into the back yard to draw some water and the man advanced on them. The daughter fired once and dropped the pistol, which the mother picked up and fired twice at tho man,
 It is believed that the man was hit, as two young men living near saw him running and heard him grooming Mrs Jones also thinks that she struck him, as she heard what seemed to be groan of pain. The tracks of the man around , the house and where he ran out of the back gate could be plainly seen on the soft ground.
 Policeman Joe Nix was summoned and made an investigation, but was unable to discover anything which might lead to the Identification of the man. The ob- iect of the intruders visit Is unknown.
 According to Mrs. Jones, she and her
  they went to the back door to investigate a noise they heard. They saw a white man running around the side of the house and supposed that 1t was burglar. Three-quarters of an hour later Mrs. Jones and her daughter went out into the back yard to draw some water. Mrs. Jones carried the pitchers and her daugn- ter pistol, which they carried for pre- caution.
 As they left the back steps. Miss Ida Jones said:
 Mother, there he comes now" and she fired at him time. She was so frightened that she dropped the pistol, which her mother picked up and used. The white man ran out of the back yard and disappeared.
 Mrs Jones states that the man had a mustache, but that she believed it was false. It had that appearance, she said.

called one of them false. Mr.. Hol-
comb took up small sized ink bottle

On the contention that there was
no money to pay an extra fireman,
Hawley appealed to Controller Jack
son.
81 am willing to hear from the con-
troller," said President Roice, but
cant let you two gentlemen talk
any longer"
Controller Jackson said that, while
the salary fund was low, another $50
a month man would cut little figure
If it was case of necessity.
The council failed to see the ne
cessity, in view of the present finan-
oial condition of the city, and Haw-
ley's motion for the extra fireman
was lost.
There are but two firemen station
ed in South Tacoma. AT meal hours
one is left in the house alone.
