head salesman at q. Rosenthals store
IN this city, has accepted the position
OF travelling salesman in behalf of the
Acme Milling Co, with headquarters
ut No. 80 Clay street, San Francisco
MIR. Mccarthy is of the opinion tina,
that city is an undesirable place Ia
live in at present. His wife, nec AIDE.
lalde Williams, a very estimable ladv,
was called TO the bedside of her sick
father who resides at Plated, Erie
county, Pa, where she anticipates re.
naming indefinitely. 1t will be re-
membered Mrs. Mccarthy was a teach.
er in one of our city schools, success.
full in her calling, and has many
friends in our midst. 1t is hoped Mr..

clearly to return to Olympia to reside
permane ntly in the not distant future
The gentleman's ability in his line OF
work entities him to recognition at a
good salary at almost any place which
he may choose for an abode. In
writing to friend he expresses his re-
grets over Hearst's defeat. He char.
acterizes him as 1.-THE Apostle OF the

What came very nigh being a
destructive blaze was discovered about
, o'clock Monday morning, in Elks'
block, and was extinguished by our
ever-ready fire boys and their chemi.
cal engine. 1t originated in a prop
erty room adjoining Elks' hall, it is
thought from burning embers placed
in wooden receptacle. The fire had
burned through the floor and the
plastering below and was discovered
by Mr.. Knight, who was sleeping in
the rear OF Shoecraft's tobacco store,
who was awakened by pieces OF plaster
falling on the showcase beneath. The
progress Of the fire had been along q
section Of about eight feet between
two joists, and its further progress bad
been barred by headers used fol-
bridging" at intervals. Some sparks
must have got beyond, however, for
after the fire had been supposedly ex.
tinguished, it was found to be blazing
again by q cracking noise from an.
other part of the ceiling. The de.
partment turned out q second time to
complete their work. The damage to
the building is small, but considerable
OF Mr.. Shoecraft's stock is virtually
destroyed. Both building and stock
we're insured.
Isaac M. Frey, the well.known har'
ness.maker on Fourth street, near
Franklin, was found dead in his room
over his shop, Sunday afternoon. He
was sitting upright N his chair, and
it is probable that he had expired the
night before, shortly after entering
his room, for he was fully dressed
and the bed had apparently not been
occupied during the night. A Bible
lying on the floor indicated that he
had been reading when the summons
came. The wife of deceased died
about two years ago, since which time
he had been living alone. He has a
son in Montana, another 10 Idaho, and
a daughter in Chicago. They were
all notified by wire and q reply from
the daughter to Mr.. Whiteside, under
taker, requests that burial be delayed
till her arrival. Mr.. Frey came here
about fifteen years ago from California
He was a native of New York and
about 20 years of age. An autopsy
held by Coroner DR.. w. L. Bridgford
Monday, disclosed the fact that he
died from . rupture of the heart. wall
in other words his heart was actually
broken. The wall of a ventricle had
burst, being too thin probably to stand
the muscular action. Such cases are
rare, says the doctor.
Many Of our readers will remember Mr.
j. w. Crawford, who was in the practice
of law here in the 'S0s, but who left
Olympia in 1892, and his son, Beverly
who was here at the same time. They
have returned to Olympia and opened
law Office as Crawford & Crawford. il
rooms 5 and 6, Olympia National Banl
Building, where they announce they
would be pleased to meet all their ole
friends and as many new ones as posi-
BILE. We take pleasure in presenting
this firm of experienced and able at
torneys to the public and to note tina
they belong to that long list of former
residents who never regretted leavinj
Olympia but once, and that was from
the time they left it, and who have agar
cast their lot with us, for better or worse
All the old soldiers will recall J. w
Crawford az the attorney who procured
their pensions. The act of June 81
1890, passed Congress while Mr.. Craw
ford was here, and he at once began the
prosecution of pension claims unde
that act, and being member of GeOrg
H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., was in toucf
with the old boys. who threw their bust
ness to him, and he procured more thar
one hundred pensions for soldiers ant
widows while here. His son went from
here to attend the law department of tn
University of Michigan, and graduate,
in the Ann Arbor law class in the SAM
year with Troy, Faiknor, Dial and Dem
ing, all Olympia boys. We bespeak TO
the new law firm goodly share of tn
practice Of this and other counties con
veniently located.
