friends to be seriously embarrassed
financially, and endeavoring to obtain
funds by forcing his wife to restore
some of the valuable property he has
decided to her. Colonel Cody, they say,

Preliminary. steps looking to the
sca1ping of Colonel Cody's exchequer
are said to have been taken. Persons
acquainted with the family say Cody
will soon institute a suit against his
wife for the recovery of the valuable
Scouts Rest ranch, which comprises
over 5000 acres of fertile, cultivated
land, said to be worth 100000. Then
there is the handsome home in town

owner in the Wild West show, but MS

SEATTLE TIMES FLOPS,
Declares Itself a Supporter of Presi-

SEATTLE, March THE Seattle
Times. which. since Colonel Alden j.
Blethen secured ownership of it in 1895
has been the organ of the opposition to
printed long editorial this morning
announcing itself as a firm supporter
of the administration and policies of
President Roosevelt. For severaf
months it has been rumored among
Colonel Blethen's friends that he in
tended returning to the republican
party, which he left in 1896, and the
editorial today is taken as confirma-
ton of those rumors.
Ever since S. H. Piles was elected
senator the. Seattle Post -Inteliigencer,
owned by John L. Wilson, has Bee ex-
ceedingly bitter in it's attacks on re-
publican leaders both in and out of
the legislature, and it is known that
prominent legislators and politicians
have been urging Colonel Blethen to
turn his paper into a straight republi-
can organ. That those overtures have
been successful is generally believed.
Friends Of both Senator Ankeny and
Senator Piles have consulted with Col
onel Blethen touching the matter be-
cause of their evaporation over Will
sons policy of vindictiveness and his
apparent determination to ruin the re-
publican party because of his own per-
sonal defeat.
