CHARGED WITH EMeEzzLEMENT,
Ex-city Treasurer Of Hoquiam Has
Been Placed Under Arrest,

HOQUIAM, Jan. 2s,-Ex-City Treas
urer Fred G. Tilly has been arrested
in this city on a warrant sworn out by
City Attorney w. E. Campbell charg-
ing him with embezzling $13,742 of
city funds. Tilly, who has been in Of
flee for three years, is accused of en-
bezzling city funds during that period.
He was suspected some time ago by a
member of the council and a trap was
laid for him. When accused he is said
to have confessed to being $31O0 short.
The books were then exported and the
above shortage discovered. ,Tilly is
we'll known, having conducted one of
the finest furniture stores in the city,
but was forced to make an assign
ment. The goods have mostly been
sold and it is doubted whether his
bondsmen can be made to make good
the deficit He is still several thou
sand dollars short. Tilly's bond was
placed at $4,000, but at this time he
has not been able to furnish the Sc
curity There is much criticism of
the councilmen who served on the au-
diting committees and failed to ex-
pert his books at the. lend of each year.

o. W. Griffin Attempts Suicide With
Weapon He Had Borrowed.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 23.-D. w.
Griffin. a colored newspaper man, at
tempted to commit suicide near York
Station with pocket knife tnat he
had borrowed from a pedestrian. Grif-
fin approached two men and asked
them to lend him a pocket knife for
few moments. One of the men handed
him a large clasp knife, opening the
blade as he did SO. The moment it
was in his hand, Griffin drove it into
the front of his neck, making an ugly
cash four or five inches in length.
Before he could do further harm to
himself, the men wrenched the knife
from his hand. They left him, and on
their way to work notified the police
of the mans actions.
For several hours Griffin wandered
around attempting to borrow knife
from other persons to complete the
work that he had commenced. After
he had cut himself he woAnd hand
kerchief tightly around his neck. Un-
able to get knife he took a large
boulder and pounded himself on the
head with it, causing severe bru1se
upon the top of his forehead. About

York Station saw the man rolling
around in the mud as though in f1t.

The man has no fixed occupation. but
does anything that will bring him
enough money to live on.
